Landmaster: Difference between revisions

The {{nihongo|'''Landmaster'''|ランドマスター|Randomasutā}} is [[Fox McCloud (SSBB)|Fox]]'s, [[Falco Lombardi (SSBB)|Falco's]] and [[Wolf O'Donnell (SSBB)|Wolf's]] [[Final Smash]]. While all three characters control the same basic vehicle, each model has it's own modified attributes. It is a powerful machine, capable of delivering multiple [[KO|KOs]] to a single player or a group. It cannot be damaged, though [[Self-destruct|SDs]] are not unlikely with these heavy, somewhat unwieldy ships.

Upon using the Final Smash, the character leaps straight upward and off the top of the screen (passing through all barriers and damaging any players in their path), and the Landmaster is deployed from the sky in his place. While other players can stand on the vehicle without taking damage, they would be ill advised to do so for long, as the Landmaster has various means of attack from both short and long range.

It's main weapon is the cannon, activated using the attack button, which fires a medium-speed blast. The attack will hit any characters in its path, as well as those standing on the cannon's barrel.

Using the jump button, the vehicle can also hover and fly for a good amount of time. Though it can not fire while hovering, it does have enough lift to carry opponents above it beyond the upper [[blast line]] for a [[star KO]]. Players standing on the cannon can drop though it to avoid this.

After a time, the Landmaster begins to blink (indicating the end of the final smash), soon fading away as a wire-frame and leaving the pilot in its place.

The Landmaster is unharmed by spikes (due to its invincibility), unaffected by conveyor belts, impervious to [[stage monsters]] such as the [[Ultimate Chimera]], but sinks in water.

==Fox==

When he activates it, he shouts ''"Landmaster!"''

While powerful, the Landmaster  has somewhat slow turning, driving backwards a short distance before actually turning around. Slowest falling speed of the three. If an opponent gets tackled by the tank, they will take about 15% damage. Each blast deals about 34%. The only downside is that it's much harder to [[Star KO]] by staying over it due to its slow rising speed. This Landmaster is the most balanced of the three, having centered out strength and maneuverability, as well as time. It, as well as Falco's, lasts 18 seconds.

:''Fox's Final Smash. Climb aboard the Landmaster tank, the ultra-high performance, anti-air, rolling combat vehicle of [[Team Star Fox]]. Just like in the [[Star Fox (universe)|Star Fox series]], the cannon can be used to blast foes, and the tank can roll over enemies. The jets beneath the main body can be used to hover. Between its firepower and mobility, this tank knows no equal. ''

==Falco==

When he activates it, he shouts ''"Personally, I prefer the air!"''

It appears to be very similar to Fox McCloud's Final Smash. Almost visually identical, its attacks are slightly weaker. The one noticeable difference is that Falco's jump jets go higher. Falco's Landmaster can fly so high that it can star-KO anyone standing on top of it. Although his Landmaster is slower than the others, it has superior movement in the air.

:''Falco's Final Smash. He jumps aboard the Landmaster high-spec, anti-craft tank. With the tank's powerful cannon blasts and rolling ability, it's possible to take out all enemies at once. The Landmaster is based on actual production vehicles, but Team Star Fox's Landmaster was customized by the team's mechanic, Slippy Toad.''

==Wolf==

When he activates it, he shouts ''"We're gonna have fun with this thing!"'' (or ''"Koitsude asonnde ageru ze!"'' in Japanese, literally meaning ''"I'll play with you with this!"'').

Wolf's Landmaster has the same appearance of Fox and Falco's, only sporting the red color of his [[Wolfen]] and the notable absence of the Starfox logo on the side panel. Wolf's Landmaster is more powerful than Fox or Falco's, capable of dealing more damage with high knock-back. Its blasts are shot much faster, and its overall feel is more aggressive than Fox or Falco's. It has the fastest ground movement speed of the three as well as fastest lateral air speed. The jet boost is similar to Falco's in which he can also Star-KO easily. It has the same rising speed and air speed as Falco's Landmaster.  The move's main drawback is that the Landmaster doesn't last very long, and it falls faster compared to the other two. It lasts 6 seconds less than Fox/Falco's Landmaster.

:''Wolf's Final Smash. Wolf analyzed Fox's Landmaster and built his own improved version, which he now calls out and boards. He's increased the output of the on board generators and upped the vehicle's firepower. However, this has substantially decreased the time the Landmaster can appear on the screen. It sports the same colors as Wolf's [[Wolfen]]. ''
