that plus his is the same size of mario

Okay, they NEED to fix his smash attacks.
Down Smash is borderline useless becAuse it does barely any percent and has no.kill or range.
Same with Up-Smash although it is WAY better.

imo his DSmash should function like Grave Blade from previous demos. (but without the infinite horizontal range)

Yes, exactly. That's what it's supposed to be in the first place IMO.

Except it has no range and no kill power and no, well anything.

It does have kill power (but still weaker than Up-Smash), but the problem is that the multihit pushes the opponent away from the last hit
So either increase the hitbox' height on the final hit, or make it so that the multihit doesn't push them out of it, but rather keeps them in place or even pulls them into the move (like with Ichigo or Sora)

Might be a weird opinion, but personally I think Lloyd's down smash should bury the opponent until the final hit, considering it's...you know...Grave Blade.

I see what you did there.

i really like that small cross slash effect when you hit people with the b-air

^ it's also present in his usmash, nair, uthrow and rising falcon

I checked this mysterious "cross slash effect" theory out for myself, and it seems to only be present at the end of Rising Falcon, although just for extra flashiness points at the end of using the move. It isn't in Lloyd's back air, up smash, neutral aerial, or up throw either.

It ain't a theory if it's literally coded in the game.

what's your excuse this time?

I'm f[BEEP]ing serious, I swear I only saw it at the end of Lloyd's Rising Falcon animation.

have you ever tried hitting people with it
it's not that difficult, you also need eyes for finding it, just in case you don't have one
