About
The term Landmaster is used to describe something uncreative and repetitive. It was started on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Forums, GameFAQs and Gamespot due to the dissatisfaction and anger fans felt when it was revealed that the Landmaster was not going to be used in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as the Final Smash of only Fox McCloud, but of Falco Lombardi of Wolf O'Donnel as well. It has caused such great negative reaction, that people continue to complain about this on various forums and also hope that with the coming of a new Super Smash Bros. game, two out of the three Star Fox characters will have their Final Smash special move altered. However, in Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS and Wii U, the move is still present in both Fox's and Falco's movesets, while the character Wolf is absent from the game's roster.
Origin
The Landmaster tanks are vehicles originally appearing in Star Fox 64 (also known as Lylat Wars in PAL regions), where they are used by the Star Fox team in order to complete their objectives on planets Titania and Macbeth. The tanks possess many abilities such as rolling over (also known as barrel rolling) and temporarily hovering. The Landmaster tanks also make an appearance in Star Fox: Assault, getting a slight redesign for this game.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it fuctions as the Final Smash of Fox, Falco and Wolf. While all three characters control the same basic vehicle, each model has its own modified attributes. The Landmaster is a large and powerful machine, which is capable of delivering multiple KOs and also grants invisibility to the user. Despite this, the fact that the tanks are heavy and kind of unwieldy makes it easy for the player to be self-destructed accidentaly.
In Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS, the Landmaster returns as the Final Smash of Fox and Falco once again, without many notable differences from the previous installment of the series.
