In party mode sure, Belmonts can press some buttons and feel apart of the action. But in the frame work of playing against another player that at least has a history of playing Smash at any level I feel like Belmont is on of the characters where R-Stick Tilts are necessary. Being able to fade back and tilt opposite of your walk direction is to strong to leave on the table and 80% of Belmonts game is using tilts and F/Biars and using projectiles in concert. That said I’m one of the try hards that played just enough of WoL to unlock my mains and grind to Elite Smash.
