The Valdani boy with a grudge against the wraiths! Vexx was a game released in 2003 for PS2, XBOX and Nintendo Gamecube by Acclaim. It was a 3D platforming collectathon much in the same vain as Mario 64, but with a darker twist. I loved this game as a kid but, sadly, it didn't get the sales it needed, Acclaim went out of business and Vexx fell into obscurity. But I still have hopes that, one day, this game will see the light of day once more. And I think the first step to that is getting his name out there. This is my concept for Vexx in Smash!
Stats: Vexx would be an average middle weight character some fairly high move speed-tied with Diddy. He would have 2 jumps and would be Wall Jump and Wall Cling.
Gimmick: Vexx would have a special meter by his %. This meter fills up as he deals damage, filling up a LOT if he lands combos. Once it is filled all the way, Vexx can press both shoulder buttons at the same time to enter his Rage Mode. The rage lasts until the meter is depleted (taking about 15 seconds). But Vexx can turn it off early by pressing the shoulder buttons again. But Vexx will have to fill the bar up from where he left off before he can activate it again. While in rage, Vexx gains a strength and speed boost. Some of his attacks gain extra range and some gain new properties.
Standard Attacks:
Jab: Vexx would have a three hit jab that mimics his jab in the game: 2 slashes from each hand, followed by him spinning once and slashing once more. If he is under rage, he gains a rapid jab which has him strike with a flurry of slashes and stabs, ending with a palm push forward. This is a reference to his flurry attack in the game
Dash Attack: Vexx propels himself with blue energy from his claws while also kicking forward. This is a reference to his Long Jump
Side Tilt: Roundhouse kick
Up Tilt: Claw uppercut
Down Tilt: Vexx would slash horizontally along the ground
Neutral Air: Vexx would spin in multiple circles with energy pulsing off of him. This is a reference to his High Jump animation
Forward Air: X shaped slash with both claws
Back Air: 3 hit attack. The first hit has him jab his elbow backwards, then he turns around and kicks, and ends it with a downward slash
Up Air: Backflip kick. This is a reference to his Flare Kick. And just like in the game, the Flare Kick also slightly shifts Vexx's hurtbox upwards when he uses it meaning he can use it to get a bit more vertical recovery
Down Air: Builds up energy in his claws then fires a ball of concentrated blue energy down. This will keep him in the air for a bit longer, and the orb can spike if a foe is hit right as it leaves Vexx's claws. This is a reference to his Ground Pound attack
Forward Smash: Like Wolf's, Vexx will thrust the palm of his claw forward
Up Smash: Vexx would swing one of his claws from front to back above himself
Down Smash: Vexx slams the ground with both claws. If his rage is active, this will also release 2 blue explosions
Grab and Throws:
Vexx grabs with both claws and pummels with a knee jab
Forward Throw: Vexx would blast the opponent point blank with a blue blats
Back Throw: Hooks the opponent on his claw, turns, and throws them backwards
Up Throw: Uppercuts with the foe in hand, then at the peak height, lets out an explosion of blue energy to send them flying
Down Throw: Pins them to the ground and rapidly slashes them
Specials:
Neutral Special: Claw Beam. Vexx fires a concentrated blast of blue, ghostly energy forward. It travels slowly a fair distance before disappearing. If his rage is active, he can fire 3 at a time
Up Special: Uppercut. Vexx shoots upward with one of his talons out. Foes hit will be sent straight upwards and this does not put Vexx into free fall, but he cannot use another uppercut until he hits the ground
Down Special: Rock Suit. Vexx glows and dawns his rock suit before dashing forward. He gains super armor during the dash, but the attack has long start and end lag. If used in the air, Vexx will fall straight down like Hero's Kaclang
Side Special: Wing Suit. Vexx dawns wings and glides forward a fair distance. You can cancel this move into an aerial, but Vexx will go into free fall
Final Smash:
Rift Burst
Vexx lets out an electrical field from his claws which sucks enemies in. The foes are then taken to the hub of the game where Vexx blasts them with a large beam, at the same time causing an explosion and launching them away. This is a reference to when Vexx collects a Wraith Heart in the game and adds it to the Rift
Cosmetics:
Vexx's Default Apperance
A blue and black alt, which is a reference to one of his concept designs, in which Vexx had a more aquatic look
Red and Black, reference to the colors of his Rock Suit
Pale Yellow and tan, reference to the colors of his Wing Suit
Grey skin with dark blueish purple clothes. This is a reference to the main villain of the game, Dark Yabu
Dark blue skin and greenish blue clothes. This is a reference to Reia, one of the main characters and the one telling the story of Vexx in the intro
Purple clothes. Mostly just a smash original, though could be used as reference to the Gamecube
His whole body becomes black and blue. This is a reference to his Inner Demons, creatures which Vexx has to beat in certain missions
His stage intro has him appear from a doorway, reference to how he enters stages
His idle shows him picking is ear with his talon
His first taunt has him clench his fist and roar
His second has him make a 'come on' motion
His last has him look left and right, scanning for enemies
His first victory animation shows him absorbing a Wraith Heart before posing
The second has him slash at the air before posing
and the last one has him roar to the sky before slashing and posing
His victory theme is Get Wraith Heart
