This series, at least for Smash Ultimate, is nearing its end.
But I am considering doing episodes for older Smash games, like 64 and Melee.
Thanks for the support, everyone!

I find it funny how Mythra is canonically stronger than Pyra, but Smash said, "let's switch that up"

[angeldude]

The fact that their movesets other than their Specials are identical makes sense given that they're literally borrowing each other's muscle memory. In terms of Specials, Pyra's Blazing End is actually copied from Mythra's Terminal Flash.
Regarding Pyra being stronger, this is actually supported in XC2 where Mythra has higher critical hit chance, while Pyra has higher critical damage. The reason why Mythra is so much stronger in practice is because of Lightspeed Flurry that instantly recharges her attacks when she crits, allowing them to be spammed endlessly. This actually means that Mythra being better at combos in Smash also makes sense given the source material.

One is nice and another one is a tsundere

[chopper]

Actually, Pyra’s unique ability is that here forward Smash is extremely powerful.

[GamerJulian]

While I generally like Pyra more (she's such an adorable sweetheart), you just can't have one without the other.

[Angry_Jetpack]

I like Mythra a bit more, bc I like combo characters, but I like Pyra almost just as much. There is something really satisfying about hitting Pyra’s moves.

[wingedbluj]

Another tiny fact about their side specials: Pyra's is 2 frames faster than Mythra's.

[Sjono]

Lightning Buster is hilarious to use on walk off stages especially when paired with Photon Edge

[amoura]

What a lovely analysis this is looking out to be!

[SueZQue]

So basically one is strong but slow and heavy and the other is weak but fast and light? Makes sense to me

[SonicTheCutehog]

The difference? Mythra only is more competitive viable than Pyra only.

[GmanSir]

Love this series. It’s the best Smash clone comparison videos on YouTube.

[k.o.d]

Fun fact: there's a specific hitbox in the inside of the hit, that can two-frame, and half of down-air spike the other half being a sour hit AND, yes I'm a Solo Pyra

[TheGamersState]

I'm gonna miss this series but hey, at least it means more of the other stuff!

[starpetalarts]

Yo, you said Pyra doesn't have an unique ability but she kind of has that side tilt special that can be maneuvered to cover stage control.

[skykid]

0:43-0:51 I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO PUT THAT IN!

[asdqaz]

A big difference that wasn't mentioned is that Mythra's nair has a landing hitbox, and Pyra's doesn't

[fatboi]

But both of them have something in common: Rex.

[samarthgour]

One is a heavy hitter and they other is a rushdown
