Pyra and Mythra\u00a0are joining the second Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em><\/strong> Fighters Pass today. The trend of Masahiro Sakurai and his team adding unique fighters is as strong as ever with these two, and that has the community asking a lot of questions. While it’s not unheard of for a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em><\/a> DLC character to have more moves than normal \u2014 Joker, Hero, Terry, and arguably Steve all have ways to expand their movesets or change their attacks \u2014\u00a0Pyra and Mythra are the first fighters in a long while to actually be multiple characters in one.<\/p>\n

A stance fighter is an\u00a0iconic fighting game archetype<\/a> that most series have observed at some point. Street Fighter<\/em>\u2019s Gen and Zeku, Tekken<\/em>\u2019s Lei, and much of Soul Calibur<\/em>\u2019s roster (but especially Maxi and Tira) are all examples. While Super Smash Bros.<\/em> has had multiple characters that can switch between each other before (Zelda\/Sheik, Pokemon Trainer, Samus\/Zero Suit Samus), all of these examples contained radically different characters, and most were separate by Ultimate<\/em>. Pyra and Mythra look similar enough, at least in terms of their normal attacks, to be the series\u2019 first true stance fighter. Until much research is done, fans are left to puzzle over exactly what that means for the meta.<\/p>\n

Pyra and Mythra share different versions of their normals and a character-switching down-special, and that\u2019s about it. However, those normals might be scary enough to make both fighters a force to be reckoned with. Sword characters have long been considered universally mid-to-high tier simply because of the natural range extension on their attacks. Pyra and Mythra are both wielding massive laser swords similar to Shulk\u2019s iconic Monado<\/a>, so it\u2019s safe to say they\u2019ll be hitting from a fair distance away. With Pyra\u2019s slight bit of extra range and Mythra\u2019s speed, they\u2019ll get a lot of surprise hits early on.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s not all the Xenoblade 2<\/em> duo have. Pyra has massive, super-damaging attacks, and can throw her sword out as both a projectile and a trap that spins in place for a moment as she moves without it. Mythra, meanwhile, has a charged attack that can hit multiple times in front of her, and another that sends her diving forward, slashing erratically. A lot of these attacks cover large chunks of the screen, and that\u2019s not even getting into Mythra\u2019s aerial projectiles.\u00a0With their signature attacks, Pyra and Mythra<\/a> can\u00a0lock down different parts of the battlefield, even if the moves that do so can have a lot of startup and recovery.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Pyra and Mythra have a couple more tricks up their sleeves that will enable them to deal with characters that get close. Like the Pokemon Trainer\u2019s Pokemon switch, the girls are briefly invincible when they tag out, which could help in certain circumstances. More notable is Mythra\u2019s Foresight, which harkens back to Street Fighter 5<\/em>\u2019s V-Shift<\/a>. Rather than a counterattack like Shulk\u2019s down-special, this is a slightly souped-up dodge that only Mythra can use. After dodging, Mythra has no baked-in counterattack, and can act however she pleases. This could lead to many more counter-offensive options if Mythra is able to respond quickly enough.<\/p>\n

All of this spells out a fairly complex fighter who is almost guaranteed to be good at launch. With the ability to deny the opponent\u2019s approach and control different parts of the stage, Pyra and Mythra can play a deadly game of keepaway with just about any character. Mythra can whittle away at an opponent\u2019s health while zipping around the stage, and Pyra can come in later to finish them off. Their primary weakness is being in a range that their other self favors, and even then they still have some pretty impressive normals and a quick switch to take the heat off them. Mythra may prove to be more popular with her faster movement and multi-hit attacks, though it remains to be seen if she has the kill setups to truly upset the current tier list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will likely take a little while before players start to master weaving in and out of both stances, so the community\u2019s opinion of them will likely rise over time. It’s just unfortunate they\u00a0were two more anime swordfighters<\/a>, and so soon after Sephiroth was as well. At any rate, they look like fun fighters to slash away entire groups in friendly free-for-alls, and like a potential menace if paired in doubles.\u00a0All the community needs now is to try them out.<\/p>\n

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em><\/strong> is available now for the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n
