==Summary== |
==Summary== |
||
+ | Fundamentally, Chrom shares the same advantages of his original fighter Roy: he possesses outstanding mobility, making him a very effective unit for approaching and pressuring on the ground and in the air. Chrom also possesses disjointed reach, giving him options for spacing and disrupting approaches. All these traits combined with outstanding startup and ending data, which makes his moves difficult to anticipate or punish, makes Chrom a very effective rushdown character. |
||
− | In a similar vein to his daughter, Chrom does not possess the sweetspot at the hilt of Falchion similar to the character he is echoing Roy, but rather possesses a balanced blade across his attacks. However, this makes Chrom a potent fighter, as the combination of consistent damage potential and high damage output (which is still retained from Roy) makes Chrom capable of dealing a high amount of damage across all ranges. Chrom also retains the fast movement that is a staple to Roy, making Chrom a very good fighter for pressuring and racking up damage, with his KO options linking very well with his aerials. Overall, with Chrom's disjointed reach, high damage output, and mobility, Chrom can be a very effective fighter that rivals his ancestor's power or his daughter's, and even that of the character he is echoing. |
||
+ | However, unlike Roy and in a similar vein to his daughter Lucina, Chrom lacks sweetspots and sourspots along his Falchion. This trait makes his damage output and knockback more consistent, and allows him to secure KOs more reliably at any range unlike Roy, who suffers from his reliance on close-combat and the polarizing power of his strong sweetspots and ineffective sourspots. Chrom also retains Roy's high damage output, while less extreme, still enables him to deal a high amount of damage in a short amount of time, which makes Chrom one of the strongest sword fighters around, and somewhat exists as a balance between Ike and Lucina in terms of mobility and raw power. |
||
− | However, Chrom's most glaring weakness is his poor recovery. With a purely vertical recovery, Chrom is very easy to gimp and force away from the stage, and makes off-stage options which are normally available to similar sword fighters difficult, if not impossible, for Chrom to use. In addition, as a purely melee unit, Chrom lacks the means to approach ranged users, and must purely rely on his reach to catch faster opponents with more flexible mobility. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Chrom's Special Moves offer him various options for keeping opponents from approaching while dealing considerable damage. Flare Blade is a chargeable move that deals high damage, ends fast, and can be reversed to catch landings or punish whiffed moves. Double Edge Dance is a quick option for dealing damage and setting up combos, and can have its hits altered for mix-ups. Soaring Slash is a useful escape option and quickly disrupting a grounded opponent's defense, and can be a Sacrificial KO option off-stage due to its Meteor Smash hitbox. Finally, Counter provides Chrom a means of instant retaliation against attacks, with its power increasing as it intercepts more attacks. |
||
+ | |||
+ | Chrom's greatest weakness lies in his exceptionally poor recovery; possessing a purely vertical option in Soaring Slash, if Chrom gets knocked off stage he is almost guaranteed to be KO'd, as his fast falling speed and effective edgeguarding can easily place him in a position where he cannot recover. Chrom's poor recovery option also limits his ability to edgeguard opponents unless he fully commits to eliminate his own stock along with theirs. Due to Chrom possessing a consistent blade, he also lacks the ability to set up KO or combo setups with sourspots or secure KOs as early as Roy. In addition, Chrom suffers from problems associated with most sword characters, being susceptible to projectile camping and juggling due to lacking any means of countering projectiles and possessing a rather poor grab game. Chrom's sword range is also shorter than most sword fighters like Roy, which necessitates him to fight closer and putting him at risk. |
||
+ | |||
+ | To conclude, Chrom must be capable of shifting between aggression and baiting and punishing, using his mobility, range, and damage output to accomplish each gameplan. Chrom must also take care to avoid getting pressured off-stage, and must take full advantage off his mobility and spacing options to ward off aggression. |

Summary
Fundamentally, Chrom shares the same advantages of his original fighter Roy: he possesses outstanding mobility, making him a very effective unit for approaching and pressuring on the ground and in the air. Chrom also possesses disjointed reach, giving him options for spacing and disrupting approaches. All these traits combined with outstanding startup and ending data, which makes his moves difficult to anticipate or punish, makes Chrom a very effective rushdown character.
However, unlike Roy and in a similar vein to his daughter Lucina, Chrom lacks sweetspots and sourspots along his Falchion. This trait makes his damage output and knockback more consistent, and allows him to secure KOs more reliably at any range unlike Roy, who suffers from his reliance on close-combat and the polarizing power of his strong sweetspots and ineffective sourspots. Chrom also retains Roy's high damage output, while less extreme, still enables him to deal a high amount of damage in a short amount of time, which makes Chrom one of the strongest sword fighters around, and somewhat exists as a balance between Ike and Lucina in terms of mobility and raw power.
Chrom's Special Moves offer him various options for keeping opponents from approaching while dealing considerable damage. Flare Blade is a chargeable move that deals high damage, ends fast, and can be reversed to catch landings or punish whiffed moves. Double Edge Dance is a quick option for dealing damage and setting up combos, and can have its hits altered for mix-ups. Soaring Slash is a useful escape option and quickly disrupting a grounded opponent's defense, and can be a Sacrificial KO option off-stage due to its Meteor Smash hitbox. Finally, Counter provides Chrom a means of instant retaliation against attacks, with its power increasing as it intercepts more attacks.
Chrom's greatest weakness lies in his exceptionally poor recovery; possessing a purely vertical option in Soaring Slash, if Chrom gets knocked off stage he is almost guaranteed to be KO'd, as his fast falling speed and effective edgeguarding can easily place him in a position where he cannot recover. Chrom's poor recovery option also limits his ability to edgeguard opponents unless he fully commits to eliminate his own stock along with theirs. Due to Chrom possessing a consistent blade, he also lacks the ability to set up KO or combo setups with sourspots or secure KOs as early as Roy. In addition, Chrom suffers from problems associated with most sword characters, being susceptible to projectile camping and juggling due to lacking any means of countering projectiles and possessing a rather poor grab game. Chrom's sword range is also shorter than most sword fighters like Roy, which necessitates him to fight closer and putting him at risk.
To conclude, Chrom must be capable of shifting between aggression and baiting and punishing, using his mobility, range, and damage output to accomplish each gameplan. Chrom must also take care to avoid getting pressured off-stage, and must take full advantage off his mobility and spacing options to ward off aggression.
