So time for a little fun here I guess. So if you've clicked this click-bait of a thread (pun intended), you'll know that this is the Character Variation Naming Thread. Now what this is, is essentially a thread to where people get to select their own custom move set ups within the game (like 1213 or 1333 of any character), and give them a name, sort of like a variation is named in Mortal Kombat X.

This is sort of like a game perhaps, due to inspiration from the community voted tier list thread. This thread is meant to be fun and have people discussing various names and come up with names for the custom move set ups.

I will start to give an example:
:4ganondorf: Edge Guarder (1322; Warlock Punch, Flame Chain, Dark Fists, Wizard's Dropkick)
:4link: Meteor Master (1213; Hero's Bow, Boomerang, Spin Attack, Meteor Bombs)
:4dk: Dong Expander (3231; Storm Punch, Jumping Headbutt, Kong Cyclone, Hand Slap)
:4littlemac: Recovery Meister (1323; Straight Lunge, Guard Breaker, Tornado Uppercut, Dash Counter)
:4sheik: Balancing Fix (3322; Paralyzing Needle, Skimming Grenade, Gale, Jellyfish)
:4robinf: Etika Specialist (2311; Thunder+, Fire Wall, Elwind, Nosferatu)

Again, this is a thread made for fun and these names might not stick. I'm leaving it up to everyone to think of something rather creative with the movesets. There's not just one simple name to any combination, and there can be multiple names to a single combination.

So go wild with names.

My only issue with this idea is how do you name a custom set that only has 1 custom variation from another? i.e your 1213 meteor master link vs 1233 link or 1223 link.

Shulk is easy if you stick to advancing air slash, default backslash and power vision only changing your art.so 1123 is advancing Monado, 2123 is advancing decesive and 3123 is advancing hyper. But what happens if someone wants to run backslash charge in any of those sets? (even though charge is terrible).

Well, 1213 is called Meteor Master for the sole reason this is the most preferred setup with Meteor Bombs, hence Meteor Master.
If 1313, it'd be Bomb Shredder, 2213 is Double Piercer, and 1223 would be Meteor Semi-Spiker (since Shocking Spin's aerial finisher is a semi-spike).

And as a side note, Edge Guarder for Ganondorf is basically due to Flame Chain's capability to capture opponents who get up to the edge and Dark Fists' ability to hit the opponent from under the edge of the stage.

Dong Expander for DK...that's pretty obvious.

But again, remember that this is where you can name the class in your own creative way instead of making it the same first name over and over again.
