Up Smash: While not directly lifted from her game, this uses her Spear and has her thrust it upwards much like Marth’s Up Smash but with greater reach. It does around 15-23% damage and is an effective and powerful Side Smash with great range, large hit boxes, and high knockback. The first three hits trap the opponent with the final hit launching them. She performs several punches with dual Combat Bracers followed by one final punch which launches the opponent. Side Smash: Inspired from her Combat Bracers Multi Hit. In addition, 2B can also grab hold of Pod 042 to hover in the air for a slight period of time by holding the jump like Peach and Daisy.

These Programs give 2B an edge in battle such as using Gravity to draw in and damage opponents, Mirage which acts like a multi-hitting counter, or powerful projectiles like Laser and Bomb. These include firing projectiles through the Neutral Special, Pod Fire, aiding in recovery, or even enacting selectable Pod Programs which all have different attributes and effects. It is able to assist in her attacks in particular, her Special Attacks. Besides using her physical sword attacks, she would also make use of Pod 042. She has a balanced mixture between her two sword styles to ensure she can effectively combo into these attacks without too much trouble. However, she has a very good dash speed at 2.19 which ranks her slightly higher than Banjo & Kazooie but lower than Ridley.ĢB uses a mixture of short and long swords in her standard attacks with the long sword giving her enhanced reach at the cost of reduced speed while the short sword has the opposite effect. 83 which puts her in between Snake and Terry. She’s not meant for aerial maneuvers like Bayonetta and has a better ground game in comparison. Her jump is a bit lower in comparison with a rating of 31 which puts her around Pit and Dark Pit. Despite her weight, her falling speed isn’t that fast and she’s borderline mid range at 1.63 along with Joker and DK. That’s very heavy but, in Smash, she’s best classified as a light heavyweight. This is due to her actual canon weight being 148.8 kg or 328.048 lbs.

2B is a light heavyweight with a rating of 114, which puts her in between Incineroar and Piranha Plant. This makes 2B a bit more flexible in fighting against different opponents and being able to employ different strategies based on the situation. She also is supported by Pod 042 in battle which grants her numerous abilities. The biggest difference is her use of weapons as opposed to guns and shadow-based melee attacks. She is similar in design to Bayonetta as they both focus on combos but she differs from her in a number of ways. A good majority of her standard attacks lack noticeable ending lag which allows her to link attacks together to deliver powerful combos. Many of her moves are multi-hitting attacks that deal high damage if they all connect. With 26 endings, there’s many ways to play NieR:Automata with each play-through vastly different than others before it.ĢB is all about stringing together combos to rack up damage and then releasing a powerful finisher to kill the opponent which makes sense considering that’s how she played in NieR:Automata. The game has 26 endings that range from heart wrenchers to feel-good-endings and to joke endings ( don’t eat the fish). Together, they discover the inner workings of the machines and their fight against Earth while also potentially discovering their humanity along the way.

The story in NieR:Automata chronicles 2B’s battles alongside the other YoRHA 9S and the enigmatic A2. 2B’s Pod is number 042 and they form quite the team. In battle, they use various weaponry, giant mechs, jet planes, and even machines such as Pods.
