Ezio Auditore Da Firenze

"As a result of making contact with a mysterious artifact of the Templars, Ezio has found himself transported to the mysterious and otherworldly land of Aether. He knows not by what means or for what reason he has arrived in this bizarre world, but he learns from a metal masked warrior that there is an unruly tyrant by the name of Loxodont who shall rise in the future and take away the people's free will. For the sake of the Assassin Brotherhood, for the sake of getting home, and for the sake of the innocent people who live in Aether, Ezio has planned his next assassination."







Playstyle: All-Rounder

As a Master Assassin, Ezio is prepared for almost any occasion, and in this same instance for Rivals, he boasts a well-rounded moveset with many decent pokes, kill options, and even some slightly above-average dash speed, which replicates the same speed Ezio has in the Assassin’s Creed games when sprinting. That being said, while Ezio appears to have some tools for every situation, he does have notable flaws, mainly in that he can’t control the stage effectively even with Nspecial, and most of his moves lack range, and the attacks he has with better range are typically much slower, so being patient and waiting for the right moment to strike or simply approach for the kill is necessary.



Ezio’s gimmick is the Poison Vial, based on the item of the same name from Assassin’s Creed II onward. How this works is that as time passes, the poison vial icon next to Ezio’s hud will fill up from somewhat translucent to black after ten seconds. This means that certain attacks will deal a poison effect if the Poison Vial is full, which deals passive damage over time to the opponent (the base damage of Ezio’s moves that use the poison vial are not affected). The moves affected by the poison vial mechanic include: Third hit of Ezio’s jab, his strongs, nair, fair, tapped neutral special, grounded side special fifth throw, aerial side special, and both variations of down special. It should be noted that missing a move affected by the poison vial when the poison is at full charge doesn’t use up the poison charge, so there isn’t too much of a risk in that regard. However, if an opponent is poisoned and either hits Ezio or parries one of his attacks, the poison effect will end immediately, and if an opponent parries any move from Ezio, even if it is not full yet, the poison vial will drain completely and need ten seconds to refill once again. This means that while a missed poison vial attack isn’t a big deal, throwing one out randomly only to get parried and lose it could be the deciding factor of the battle.

Additionally, if the poison vial is full and the player presses the parry button while charging one of Ezio's strongs, it will convert the entire poison vial into an enhanced version of whichever strong he's doing, sort of like an EX move, based on the Brave Edges of Soul Calibur V (where Ezio made a guest appearance, and has some other moves inspired by his appearance in that game). This makes the Poison Vial more of a trade-off between confirmed damage with the normal damage over time effect or a powerful damage/kill option that you need a proper read for and can leave you vulnerable if whiffed or parried.




In addition to being able to wall jump, Ezio is able to wall climb for a small time. He clings to the wall by holding Jump while facing a wall, moving up to climb it, and then releasing the jump button to wall jump, similar to Regigigas, Wally, Knuckles, and Ryu Hayabusa. This is a reference to how he could climb walls in the Assassin’s Creed series, and he has a dedicated ledge attack, based on the Ledge Assassinations from the AC series, functioning similarly to Wally’s ledge attack.




NEUTRAL SPECIAL: CROSSBOW/HIDDEN GUN

For Ezio’s neutral special, he wields a crossbow, which fires a quick yet weak projectile that helps to keep foes at a distance. Additionally, if you have a full Poison Vial, this will automatically cause the crossbow bolt to poison the opponent. However, if instead of tapping the special button, you hold it down, for Ezio’s other neutral special, he wields a Hidden Gun, which fires a powerful disjointed blast. This works well as a kill option, especially up-close, but the slow start-up means that this move requires a proper read to be successful.

GROUNDED SIDE SPECIAL: EAGLE’S EMBRACE

For Ezio’s grounded side special, he lunges forward to perform a command grab, and similar to Smash, you can throw the opponent in one of four directions, with forward, back, and up throw being kill moves, and down throw serving as a combo tool. However, if you press Special again while holding the opponent, you will perform a unique fifth throw that doesn’t kill or allow for combos, but instead inflicts Poison on the opponent if the player chooses.

AERIAL SIDE SPECIAL: AIR ASSASSINATION

For Ezio’s aerial side special, he jumps forward before diving diagonally downward with the Hidden Blade drawn, being an iconic attack from the series. This functions as a solid kill option and even a horizontal recovery tool if Ezio is off-stage, and it can even poison the opponent if the Poison Vial is full.

UP SPECIAL: FLYING MACHINE

Pulling from one very unique part of Assassin’s Creed 2, Ezio takes to the skies with Leonardo da Vinci’s Flying Machine, causing him to soar upwards before gliding forward. Ezio can use this for recovery, and if needed, pressing Parry causes Ezio to enter pratfall, while pressing Special causes Ezio to perform a quick kick to defend himself from anyone trying to clip his wings.

DOWN SPECIAL: COUNTER KILL

Taken from the combat sections of Assassin’s Creed 2, Ezio has access to a counter that is very useful for catching any physical attacks from the opponent. If activated, Ezio stabs the opponent and launches them away, but much like Nspec, it has a different effect if the Special button is held. If held, Ezio instead leaves the opponent close to him, potentially allowing for follow-ups, and regardless of which version is used, the counterattack will inflict Poison if the Poison Vial is full.


Ezio also comes equipped with compatibility for the Dracula Boss Stage and the Final Smash buddy. Additionally, Ezio has a home stage in the form of Venice Rooftops, featuring music from across the series.
