Banjo & Kazooie (SSBU): Difference between revisions

Banjo has a strong grab game, using above average reach to clinch his opponents. Each of their grabs have vastly different functions as well. Back throw is a useful KO tool at the edge, much like {{SSBU|Mario}}'s back throw, and down throw [[buries]] opponents in the ground, setting up reads, combos, and even KO set ups. | Banjo has a strong grab game, using above average reach to clinch his opponents.

The pair is not without weaknesses. Banjo & Kazooie present a large hitbox, and they are susceptible to combos. Their overall mobility is unorthodox, with their excellent run speed being offset by their slow dash speed tied for fifth worst, their high vertical recovery options being hampered by their poor air speed, and the lowest [[traction]] in the game alongside {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}. Their powerful smash attacks all contain very harsh lag, either startup, endlag, or both. The eggs have a slow fire rate on their own and weak power when the pair transitions to Breegull Blaster. If the pair runs out of golden feathers, they lose a lot of options both offensively and defensively. Rear Egg is quite situational, and the explosion itself is not very powerful. It's also difficult to run backwards to grab the grenade and use it as a throwing item, and opponents can grab it and use it against them. Shock Spring Jump requires slight charge time to make their recovery strong, which is brief but can leave them vulnerable. Also, some of their attacks, like Kazooie's up aerial, are extremely weak, and do not have a lot of combo potential either. | The pair is not without weaknesses.

Overall, Banjo & Kazooie have a lot of specialized tools to accommodate different opponents and playstyles. Their egg projectiles can be used in a multitude of ways, and their recovery is extremely strong with many different ways to get back onto the stage. The pair must find ways to land their laggy finishing moves, as all of them, including their forward aerial, smash attacks (except up smash, which starts quickly) and Wonderwing dash, all have high amounts of start-up lag. Due to their recent release, their current tournament viability is unknown. | Overall, Banjo & Kazooie have a lot of specialized tools to accommodate different opponents and playstyles.
