    I played them in Ultimate, I was a Charizard player in 4. I really enjoy playing these guys and I love it.
    At least Squirtle kept shellshifting in PM where he ended up losing it in Ultimate.

    you are able to charge your solar beam with certain attacks. Such a cool idea.

    I'm an Ivysaur main from Mexico and if I were to add 1 detail to the video is in up air that also has a hitbox going down and you can use it to edgeguard. We call it here "La panzita" "The little belly".

    That Absorb/Synthesis/Solarbeam combination integration makes me want to see a redesigned Ness that integrates his focus on _healing_ PSI powers more instead of it just being that he uses LifeUp simultaneously with PSI Magnet when hit with projectiles.

    An issue I'm glad you mentioned with Ivysaur is that Grass type attacks are almost nonexistent to be Squirtle's weakness aside from Ivysaur itself, Water type attacks are also rare to threaten Charizard (Mario's FLUDD and maybe Ice Climbers' attacks?), while Fire attacks are on _all sorts of other characters_ .

    I wanna play Project M purely for Ivysaur. My favorite Kanto starter finally got tools more fitting of its grass typing. Seed Bomb is an amazing combo tool that's easy to set up and converge into other powerful attacks, and Synthesis/SolarBeam is a FANTASTIC kill move that feels unique. Best PM character changes ever!!

    Character in SSBB with Fire attacks (excluding Final Smashes): Mario, Luigi, Samus, Zero Suit Samus (sweetspot side-B) Link, Toon Link, Kirby, Fox, Falco, C.Falcon, Ganondorf (UTilt), Bowser, Peach (Bob-Omb pull), G&W, Zelda, Ness, Lucas, Rob, DeDeDe, Olimar, Snake, Diddy Kong, Ike, Pokemon Trainer (Charizard), Olimar (R Pikmin), Kirby (Copying Charizard)
    (And I'm pretty sure but not certain)- Shiek (Vanish), Meta Knight&Kirby (UThrow)
    Characters in SSBB with Water attacks: Mario (knockback only), Pokemon Trainer (Squirtle), Kirby (Copying Squirtle)
    Characters in SSBB with Grass attacks: Pokemon Trainer (Ivysaur), Kirby (Copying Ivysaur)
    Who thought the elemental weaknesses was a good idea? It basically only affects Ivysaur, and is a non-issue for all other 'mons except mirror-matches. Items, stage hazards, bosses, and SSE enemies are all flame-stacked, too.

    PSA: I do not care what your beliefs or leanings are. STOP referring to (singular) Pokemon as "they" when historically and canonically Pokemon were/are referred to as "it." If you care that much to modulate pronouns, then do it right(or perhaps you just lazily slap "they" on everything now which is kinda ironic).
    There is only 1 Ivysaur in Smash. Pokemon are not people, they are fictional creatures. See, I just used it properly. Ivysaur is an "it."

    • @emilyharrison5109
      @emilyharrison5109 Рік тому +2

      I disagree, the only Pokemon that are considered "its" are legendary Pokemon (Mewtwo, Mew, Arceus,) otherwise most of them can be either Male or Female. Ivysaur can be Male and Female in the Pokemon Games.

    • @windindi2834
      @windindi2834 Рік тому +6

      Jokes on you. The PM team confirmed Ivysaur is female.

    • @TONyjustRoCks
      @TONyjustRoCks Рік тому +2

      Responding again, because I think my comment got deleted for posting a spaced-out link.
      Firstly, you can't disagree with the history, nor Nintendo. Go boot up Smash, go to the Tips section, and check Greninja, Incineroar, and Pokemon Trainer. The pronoun "it" is used *exclusively*, not "they/themselves." Not merely Legendaries. Proof is at your fingertips. This pronoun usage didn't begin with Smash Ultimate either, nor did Sakurai invent it. Historically, a singular Pokemon of indescript gender is always referred to as an "it", and most older gamers know this. We've played the games.
      Ivysaur is a singular Pokemon of indescript gender, thus canonically the proper pronoun usage is to refer to it as an "it." The person in this video is effectively canonically "misgendering" Ivysaur.
      Also, PM devs opinions do not matter. It is the same model of Brawl Ivysaur, an "it." If they want to make their own universe or lore in PM, that's fine but don't pretend it is authoritarive on Nintendo IP. And if Ivysaur is arbitrarily called a "she" by devs, then the person in this video is still "misgendering".
      Feel free to google "Ivysaur pokedex entry" and read it. The pronouns are exclusively "it." I shouldn't need to expound any more.

      ​@@TONyjustRoCks Idk what you are talking about Ivysaur as a fictional species similar to some of are own has the biological gender of male and female as it can reproduce it its same egg group the PM dev team thought it would be a fun Idea to make the character female IDK why and I really don't care as it is FICTION and it has been depicted as being male or female in multiple other media (eg pokemon anime, manga, and other spin-offs) it is not the case where Ivysaur is specificly a character with non-binary pronouns (eg Testament from Guilty Gear) or is a race that does not have a gender (eg the Chimera Ants from Hunter X Hunter) it is a gender race and the people that while not the creator's of the character created a specific version that is female like the Pokemon Comany, Gamefreak, and Nintendo do sorry for my shitty grammar hope you understand what I am saying and have a good day
