TWILTHERO- Mia

All right, TWILTHERO time. Um, my first review. Check it out! It's all... review-tastic, and stuff. Actually I thought I was reviewing for K. Rool for like half the moveset until I realized he only had like five movesets and they were on cool buttons instead of normal links. *facepalm*




Okay, Mia. From both Tellius-set FE games, she's dedicated to the sword and serves under Ike. How does K. Rool's Brawl representation of the femme fatale measure up to her reputation?

Playability (8/10): Nice job here. The combined effect of your % and specials could be hard to keep track of, and Uair and Bair affect your mobility too much, I think. Other than that, everything checks out pretty well in this department.

Balance (9/12): Not too bad. For her chosen weapon, she seems to have a lot less range than would normally be present for a sword user. A lot of her moves put her in awkward positions that are hard to escape from. Five seconds is a lot of lag for a move that simply lets you attack twice. Count out five seconds and imagine how you could possibly ever get Adept in. You kill them? They can get to you before the time is up if it's not a star KO, and even then they have invincibility frames long enough to outwait it if they play keepaway. The only other way is in FFAs and in items matches. Still, really only underpowered.

Appearance (4.5/5): Great job here, I guess. The only problem is that the videos sometimes confuse where sections begin and end. A good way to prevent that from happening is to put a line of underscores between sections or use different colors for each section, instead of alternating. The videos really help envision the moveset.

Detail (14/15): Great job! Even in single-post view's stretched screen you have like at least four lines of helpful detail on every move. It's not on the level of Dracula's text-wall insanity, but it's really well-done.

Character (4/4): Oh, yes. The videos, the careful usage of Mia's animations from FE, and everything is spot on. Really flawless in being true-to-form. I mean, her range seems weird, but that nitpick isn't worth denying the full marks here.

Extras- **: Not that it matters, but there's only like three things- taunts/victories, a codec, and an SSE role. Still pretty well-done for its length.

*drom roll*
*um, I mean drum roll*
*bum-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da DUM*

39.5/46
*** extras

Aaaaaand done.
