LOL well, Lloyd is just OP. I mean, everything he does is insanely good. He can do every single type of attack, interrupt any attack pretty much anywhere, do damage from behind three walls on the other side of a tier, can block any attack with one move that stays in place for 5 secs after he has already finished and moved on (and does over 20% damage with just one hit), can outfight metaknight in midair speed maneuvers, and nearly every single attack he does covers 180-360 degrees and affects EVERYONE.
Oh, and he has a total of 22 different INDIVIDUAL attacks...now imagine the combo potential...
That's just nuts.
His only downsides are that
1) -- while he can get some awesome airtime -- he is very slow on the ground
2) His recovery is quite possibly the worst in the game.
3) If you don't pair your moves right, you will have serious gaps between attacks and no defenses.
With Lloyd, you have to be the "hero of hero mountain" (an allusion to a running joke in another rp forum I used to do), or you will fail miserably.
If you get yourself knocked off the stage...there is only a 1 in 5 chance of you getting back to it. Even with my skills, if I get knocked off the stage, I will not be able to recover most of the time, and if I do, it is by the skin of my teeth.
Also, if someone gets you "off-kilter" with your rhythm...You're screwed for that life.
And because he is so slow, you practically have to jump literally the whole time. When I play Lloyd, unless I am tanking, I look like a freakin drunk bouncy-ball.
Thus, this un-holy power that he holds is only accessed through a great deal of practice, and a great deal of risk.
Still....I love him. OH, and one last thing...
If you put the damage up from 1x to 2x, his Earth Smash insta-kills everyone on the stage. Repeatedly. :mad: :rolleyes:
