Krystal (Super Smash Flash 2)

Krystal is a newcomer unlockable character in Super Smash Flash 2. Her reveal was shown during the Day 2 livestream at Super Smash Con 2018. Her appearance is based on her design in the game Star Fox Command. Her moveset consists mainly of attacks using her staff from Star Fox Adventures, as well as certain weapons she uses in Star Fox Assault.

Attributes
Krystal is a combo-heavy character, not differing from the other  cast, being the most powerful member of the team. Her tilts are useful to keep the enemy away, being useful to give KO in high percentages. Her smashes are too powerful, specifically the down, can create a powerful wave that hits enemies a considerable distance, though with less power, also serving to protect herself from other attacks. All her special attacks have enough power to eliminate an opponent. Her Neutral Special can knock the opponent off the screen if them are in the air or on the ground itself (if she uses the aim well). Her Side Special is very useful to start combos, due to the brief lift it exerts on the enemy, in addition to serving as a horizontal recovery. Her down special can interrupt the opponent's recovery if she manages to throw it with the proper range on the enemy. Her up special deals regular damage with a medium knockback, but serves as a meteor smash if connects on its first frames with the enemy, dealing good damage. Her grabs and throws are of the fastest in the game, even his downward throw, unlike and 's, freezes the opponent, but cannot kill even at high percentages.

Her aerial attacks are very strong, as are those of the rest of the team. The down aerial works as a Meteor Smash if it connects correctly with the enemy, and the great power can KO even on the ground.

However, Krystal's greatest weakness is her high fall speed, making it difficult for her to make horizontal aerial KOs, poor ability to Edge-Guarding, in addition to the fact that, like, her Up Special covers a rather mediocre vertical distance, being one of the worse recoveries in the game, In addition, her special attacks, while powerful, are quite predictable and interruptible, and can leave her vulnerable if she misses.
