Corrin (SSB4)

Line 29:

Arguably, Corrin's greatest strength is his disjointed [[range]]. Most of Corrin's standard attacks are similar to those of Marth and other swordfighters, being wide swings with good range and quick startup. This, coupled with his tilts' speed and low knockback, allow him to combo his attacks reliably into each other, especially into a forward aerial, which [[auto-cancel]]s from a short hop, and neutral and up aerials, which have wide swings. The aforementioned combos are capable of racking up considerable damage, making Corrin particularly effective at dealing burst damage. Additionally, Corrin combines several attributes of his brethren into his playstyle: this includes Marth's quick attacks and a [[tipper]] mechanic, present in smash attacks and [[Dragon Lunge]], which gives finishers immensely stronger knockback if positioned correctly. This makes several attacks very good poking tools at long distance, which further benefit from his strong tippers. While he has a [[recovery]] similar to {{SSB4|Roy}}'s [[Blazer]], it grants several frames of [[intangibility]] on startup, has a wide range due to Corrin spreading his wings out, and covers more distance, making his recovery quite reliable, especially when coupled with his high jumps. Corrin can also further boost himself towards the stage using back aerials, making him less likely to get KO'd offstage.

Like the rest of the ''Fire Emblem'' cast sans {{SSB4|Robin}}, Corrin also possesses a [[counter]], albeit one which retaliates on both sides with high vertical power, with it being the only counter in the series to have both of these attributes. The two other special moves, [[Dragon Fang Shot]] and Dragon Lunge, give him unique mix-up options: like {{SSB4|Robin}}, the former gives him access to a projectile, although it [[paralyze]]s opponents on hit and allows him to followup with either an aerial during the paralysis duration, or a fully-charged bite of incredible power at close range, giving him a unique combo and finishing tool. The latter allows him to leap and stab opponents at a distance, dealing more damage with a tipped blow, or hold down an opponent if the move connects on a surface, before finishing off with a powerful kick from either direction. Corrin can even fake-out by cancelling the jump, giving him an array of followup options, or hang beside edges by spearing the sides of the stage for a period of time, forcing approaches from opponents. Corrin also possesses the fastest dash to shield speed in the game (at 8 frames, tying with Sheik), which significantly ~~aids in~~ his ability to approach.

Corrin also possesses the fastest dash-to-shield speed in the game (at 8 frames, tying with {{SSB4|Sheik}}), which significantly benefits his ability to approach.

Additionally, to further compliment Corrin's damage-racking game, the rest of his moveset come out extremely quick, with all grounded, special, and aerial moves (barring Draconic Ascent, which comes out on frame 18) coming out before frame 15, and a good number of moves coming out even earlier than frame 10. This forces opponents to play against Corrin very carefully in the hands of a component player, as a single slip-up could allow him to rush in and deal heavy amounts of damage, or even KO if the player manages to space correctly.
