I know Amaterasu was only playable in one game on the Wii but, she also made an appearance in Okamiden and there is a chance we may see her in Project X Zone 2 on the 3DS. Even though we are only talking three possible appearances on Nintendo platforms, it would still be awesome to see Amaterasu join the battle.
I could see her attacks being something like this.
A: Head-butt
Down Smash: Spin Dodge
Side Smash: Power Slash (The Ink appears on your opponent)
Up Smash: Glaive Attack
A Tilt Combo: Reflector combo
B: Rosary Projectile
B Side: Dash attack
Down B: Cherry Bomb
Up B: Vine (A flower would appear above her as she uses the Vine as recovery.)
Side Air: Kick (Like she does when she is out of ink)
Down Air: Glaive Attack
Up Air: Reflector Attack
Smash Attack: Issun could be sent out to do a powerful sword slash on a nearby opponent.
Those are just a few ideas I have for a moveset. Anyone have better suggestions?
For her stage I would choose Shinshu Field.
I think Waka or Susano would be good for an Assist Trophy.
Moveset possibility 2 (created by SMAASH! Puppy)
Amaterasu
Amatarasu is average weight and is slightly fast. Her strength depends on the Devine Instrument she has. Solar Flare is average, Thunder Edge is strong, and Tundra Beads are weak. Hitting her tail only deals scratch damage.
Solar Flare:
The Solar Flare is good for areal combat, but is terrible on the ground; the only exception is her Forward Smash. It is the only Divine Instrument that can meteor smash.
Neutral Attack-Sweeps with the Solar Flare three times. This has a bit of ending lag, and can be punished. 1%,3%,3%
Dash Attack-Does a head-butt. 10%
Forward Tilt-Sweeps with the Solar Flare. This has noticeable ending lag. 5%
Up Tilt-Uppercuts with the Solar Flare. This is mainly for setting up areal combos. 4%
Down Tilt-Sweeps low with the Solar Flare. This is a good spacing tool when the opponent is at high percents. 4%
Forward Smash-Uses Inferno on the opponent. Out of the three Forward Smashes, this attack is the only one that can KO. 18%-20%
Up Smash-Uses the Whirlwind to attack. It doesn’t KO easily, but it can rack up damage quite nicely. 15%-23%
Down Smash-Uses Fire Burst to attack. It can protect Amaterasu, but it doesn’t have the best range. 14%-18%
Neutral Aerial-Flips to attack with the Solar Flare. This attack is good for combos. 9%
Forward Aerial-Attacks forward with Solar Flare. This is good for spacing. 9%
Back Aerial-Does a 360, attacking with the Solar Flare. 9%
Up Aerial-Does a backflip, attacking with the Solar Flare. 8%
Down Aerial-Sweeps below her with the Solar Flare. This can Meteor Smash. 11%
Thunder Edge
The Thunder edge is the opposite of the Solar Flare; great on the ground, and bad in the air, either way, it has great range, and disjointed hitboxes. It also has KO power in most of its attacks. The catch? Most attacks have to be charged up to be used to their full extent, and is a bit slow even on the ground.
Neutral Attack-Slashes with the Thunder Edge two times. The second hit can KO on the edge of most stages when the opponent is at high percent, while the first hit stuns the opponent. 2%,9%-4%,13%
Dash Attack-Does a head-butt 10%
Forward Tilt-Slashes with the Thunder Edge. 11%-20%
Up Tilt-Uppercuts with the Thunder Edge. 15%-19%
Down Tilt-Slashes low with the Thunder Edge. 8%-12%
Forward Smash-Uses Thunderstorm on the opponent. 14%-18% This attack stuns the opponent, but does not KO. It does, however, set up for one.
Up Smash-Uses the Whirlwind to attack. It doesn’t KO easily, but it can rack up damage quite nicely. 15%-23%
Down Smash-Uses Fire Burst to attack. It can protect Amaterasu, but it doesn’t have the best range. 14%-18%
Neutral Aerial-Flips to attack with the Thunder Edge. This makes Amaterasu fall more slowly. 5%-9%
Forward Aerial-Attacks forward with the Thunder Edge. 4%-8%
Back Aerial-Does a 360, attacking with the Thunder Edge. 6-10%
Up Aerial-Does a backflip, attacking with the Devine Instrument. 5%-9%
Down Aerial-Charges diagonally downward (Tsumagari) 7%-11%
Tundra Beads
The Tundra Beads are for racking up damage, have the longest range in the game with its disjointed hitboxes, and work the same on the ground and in the air. However, you have rely on freezing the opponent at high percents to get a KO with them, or use the Down Smash, which has range problems.
Neutral Attack-Attacks with the Tundra Beads four times. Each attack is a multi-hit. 1%,1%,1%,1%,1%,1%,1%,1%,1%,1%,1%,2%
Dash Attack-Does a head-butt. 10%
Forward Tilt-Attacks with Tundra Beads. This attack is a multi-hit. 2%,2%,3%
Up Tilt-Arks the Tundra Beads overhead. Good as an anti-air attack. 7%
Down Tilt-Sweeps low with the Tundra Beads to trip opponents. 4%
Forward Smash-Uses Blizzard on the opponent. This attack has 100% chance to freeze the opponent, but doesn’t KO. 5%-15%
Up Smash-Uses the Whirlwind to attack. It doesn’t KO easily, but it can rack up damage quite nicely. 15%-23%
Down Smash-Uses Fire Burst to attack. It can protect Amaterasu, but it doesn’t have the best range. 14%-18%
Neutral Aerial-Flips to attack with the Tundra Beads. This attack is a multi-hit. 2%,3%,3%
Forward Aerial-Attacks forward with the Tundra Beads. This attack is a multi-hit. 2%,2%,4%
Back Aerial-Does a 360, attacking with the Tundra Beads. 2%,3%,5%

All
Grab-Grabs with her mouth. Short grab
Pummel-Chomps down. 1%

Back Throw-Uses Vale of Mist, throws the opponent behind her, then uses the Thief’s Glove to have Issune attack. This can steal items. 5%
Up Throw-Does a backflip and lets go of the opponent, then uses Thunderstorm. This actually launches foes down, allowing for combos.

thanks for your support.
I promised Chico2099 I would make two movesets to show how diverse her moveset could be, but I got lazy, and only have the one. I'll put in a spoiler because it uses the weapons gimmick, so it is very long.
