Okay if I'm going to work on an image moveset I'll use the return to dreamland spear moveset as it's foundation.
but just to get some feedback here, of the moves that exist there... I think the bulk are keepers but I'll run it down.
Now moves like Spear Thrust can be (A) jab, with a more charged up thrust a possible smash/side smash
Not sure how back thrust would work in smash but I kind of like it. What if it's a skilled maneuver added that relies on player's ability to pivot. Allowing BD to instantly change direction quick to attack an opponent that's moved behind him. Simply a quick pivot and (A). The frames can be fast a fewer than simply turning to thrust. I'm sure this is probably a feature already in smash anyway as player quick to turn with the stick and attack again are already doing some kind of pivot related play... but I guess this can be more built in? It's been awhile since I've dabbled in smash so apologies. I'll have to get right back in for the research.
Skyward Thrust and Moon Drop are obvious Up and Down (A) Attacks. Multispear can flesh out the jab attacks. (A)x 2 perhaps two swipes up and down, and (A) multiple = Multispear.
Spear Copter should be relegated to recovery so this will be attached to UP (B). Spear Toss to Neutral (B).
This still leaves us with options for neutral attack in air, elaborations to the various charged directional (A)s and side specials and down special.
I'm on the side that feels that BDee's spear should be central but that it can be quirky too. I like the proposed ideas of it using it to also recover by getting it stuck on the side of stages.
Maybe it can also be used to, deflect objects, stun an opponent by pinning them in place temporarily, launching an opponent, perhaps the red sash on the tip can do something, maybe incorporating a few physical attacks that relate to BDee... like maybe a down (B) move could be a smaller Meta Ton Punch. I like this foundation and now just a few moves we should agree on.
Move Controls Description
Spear Thrust Button 1 Kirby thrusts the spear forward; this has slightly longer range than
Sword's basic attack.
Back Thrust Thrust, then face opposite + Button 1 Kirby thrusts the spear the other way, which has the same effect as Spear Thrust.
Skyward Thrust ↑ + Button 1 Kirby thrusts the spear upwards; this has the same range as Spear Thrust.
Moon Drop (midair) ↓ + button 1 Kirby flashes the spear and twirls it downwards towards the ground.
Spear Throw Dash + Button 1 Kirby throws one spear in a short distance.
Spear Barrage Dash, then while midair press Button 1 repeatedly Kirby throws two spears in succession, each having varying distances.
Triple Throw
Dash + Hold Button 1 Kirby throws three spears at once in a spread.
Multispear Attack Button 1 repeatedly Kirby unleashes a flurry of forward jabs with the spear before finishing with a powerful thrust. Similar to
Sword's Multisword Slash. Comboed from Spear Thrust.
Spear Copter Hold Button 1, then release Kirby twirls the spear above his head and hovers like a helicopter. Anything touching the spinning spear takes damage. The hover ends after six seconds, and Kirby slows the twirling and lands.
