Why Beetley?

So I see Demolition14’s WR run of Star Allies Go uses Beetley, but why? (S)He also states in the description that Como might be faster, but what makes those two so good?

England

(S) Beetley, Como and Knuckle Joe all have the the fastest level layouts out Como might be faster just because he's better at fighting, but his movement is slower so maybe not. Knuckle Joe is awful in the air

Huh I didn’t know the normal allies had different levels, thanks!

So how are Driblee and Chilly in the meta? Just wondering.

United States

Also what makes Birdon now better than Beetley or Como?

England

Birdon can go very fast even without Meta Knight, so you don't have to rely on riding MK the entire run. He's also far better at fighting bosses.

United States

Ok then why not Blade Knight, he can move even faster than meta Knight and can fight bosses even better than birdon.

United States

First of all probably route.

Second of all Blade Knight does not move faster. Shuttle loop thingy move with Fire Meta Knight is faster or just dashing with bluster meta knight. (i dont really know the answer but there is no way blade knight is faster than meta knight in movement)

England

Bluster Sword actually is slightly faster than Fire shuttle Looping. Ofc it's pretty bad since you can only use it in the ground, and Wind MK's Dash attack works fine. Also, Sword is horrendous for fighting

United States

Well meta Knight bluster air spin is the third best fighting technique in the game, and the sword equivalent seems very similar. (But I haven’t tested the damage output so I’m not 100% sure, but it seems like bluster sword would be a good option)

United States

Okay so now why Rocky

England

Why not?

In all seriousness, He has super short level layouts

Ok then. I just did Marx and did terrible compared to you but it should get me 5 or 6, but since i did that I don’t know if I’ll be attempting Star Allies Go again today. I will try to do it soon and see how I do. Thanks!
