This article seems to give a good description of the difference in the characters. "Springman is balanced in power and speed. He’s able to bring out a shock wave that blocks enemy attacks, which can be followed up with a hit to counter. When his health drops to 1/4, he remains in charge mode, which allows him to dish out more damage for every hit. Ribbon Girl is the idol of the ring who can float around with multiple jumps to dodge attacks. She truly floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee with attacks from above. Ninjara is a ninja-style fighter who can perform mid-air dashes while teleporting. His style revolves around using multiple warps to juke around enemies and hit them with timely attacks. Master Mummy is a power-type mummy character. He doesn’t stagger much when taking hits from enemies during his attacks, jumps, and dashes. He occupies a lot of space, making him the tankiest of characters we’ve seen so far. He also heals up health while guarding. Mechanica is a heavyweight rocket girl character. By holding down the jump command, she can hover for a period of time and can overwhelm enemies from above. Similar to Master Mummy, she, too, doesn’t stagger when taking hits during attacks, jumps, and dashes." I find that very interesting. All that said though - it strikes me far more like Pokken than Splatoon. It basically feels like pokken.. without the pokemon. |
Pokken suffered from poor advertising and lack of characters. I hope a potential sequel expands to 25ish characters and brings major improvements (kind of like smash n64-> melee)
