Several years later, the world is put under peril by Goku's old ally, Gyumaou and Goku is tasked to defeat Gyumaou and save the world.
What game Goku is from?
Goku is from...
Goku is from a game released on the Famicom called Yūyūki. The game was a part of a series called Famicom Fairytales that also included Shin Onigashima. The game is loosely based of the Chinese story, Journey to the West. The English translation for the game is Brave Brave Spirit.
Playstyle and Moveset:
Ground Speed 6/10: Goku is above average speed on the ground.
Air Speed 7/10: Goku is quite fast in the air.
Size 4/10: Goku is slightly smaller than Mario.
Weight 3/10: Goku is a lighter character that can be launched fairly decently.
Fall Speed 6/10: Goku falls at an above average rate.
Jump Height 6/10: Goku jump height is above average
Traction 3/10: Goku has poor traction and doesn't stop immediately when turning.
Goku's playstyle and moveset is inspired from Shaolin and bo staff techniques as well as using some moves from Sun Wukong in Smite (Goku is based off Sun Wukong in Yuyuki). Goku also uses a kung fu fighting style. I wanted to make Goku fast, agile, and deadly like the techniques I've based him on.
Normal Attacks:
Jab Combo: Goku strikes downward from over his shoulder with the staff. He follows up with a strike from the other end of the staff going diagonally upward. He ends the combo with a horizontal strike from the staff.
Forward Tilt: Goku plants his staff in the ground and swings on it like a monkey, using his legs to attack.
Up Tilt: Goku climbs up his staff and does a spinning kick while spinning around the staff.
Down Tilt: Goku pokes his staff near the opponents feet.
Dash Attack: Goku jumps in the air and performs a butterfly kick.
Smash Attacks:
Forward: Goku swings his staff from overhead, downward while leaping forward a small bit.
Up: Goku swings his staff over his head, head tilted sideways. He swings while gripping the bottom of the staff so the entire length of the staff swings overhead.
Down: Goku spins in a circle while swinging his staff outward.
Grabs:
Goku grabs with one hand and puts his opponents in a side headlock.
Pummel: Goku noogies them.
Forward: Goku shoves his staff into the opponent and it extends, then he lifts them over his head and throws them forward.
Backward: Goku turns them around, slaps the opponent's neck and then slams his staff into their back.
Up: Goku throws them up, and does a handstand kick so the opponent's back lands on his feet and are sent flying.
Down: Goku places them on the ground and performs an axe kick, where he kicks vertically upwards near his head then slams his heel into the opponent on the ground.
Aerials:
NAir: Goku does a split kick in midair.
FAir: Goku does a kick in vertically in front of him.
BAir: Goku swings his staff behind him while the staff is extending.
UAir: Goku turns upside down and sticks his legs out like helicopter blades and spins.
DAir: Goku uses his staff as a pogo stick and he shoots downward (not as fast as Link's down air). If it sweetspots right at the beginning of the move, it will spike the opponent downward.
Specials:
Neutral: Decoy: Goku creates a decoy of himself that can be physically hit and even does Goku's idle animations. The real Goku is invisible and can move around but not attack. The decoy lasts about 5 seconds and there is a 10 second charge up time for Goku to use the ability again. If the decoy has taken 25% damage, it will explode and inflict a small amount of damage on players around it. Goku can be hit while invisible.
Side: Bo Twirl: Goku twirls his staff in front of him really fast, fast enough to deflect projectiles. If the opponent gets close to him while doing this move, the attack hits the opponent multiple times. (This move is like
's Side B in Brawl but it doesn't propel you forward as far).
Up: Flying Nimbus Strike: Goku summons his magical cloud and swings his staff from side to side wildly. If you hold the button when using the move, Goku will ascend higher, if you let go, Goku will free fall. (Kind of like's up B just that it actually damages opponents).
Down: Transformation: Goku transforms into one of his three friends. Goku will transform into his friends for 8 seconds. He can cancel out of the transformation by pressing another attack other than the down B.
Sanzo (the monk): If he turns into Sanzo, Goku rides on Sanzo's scooter in a straight line forward. If down B is held Goku goes farther on the scooter.
Hakkai (the pig): If Goku turns into Hakkai, he will be invincible for the time being. Since Hakkai can see the future with his clairvoyance, Goku will dodge all attacks by opponents.
Gojo (the kappa): If Goku turns into Gojo, Goku can stun opponents with his down B attack. The stun lasts 3 seconds.
Final Smash:
Gavel of Light: Goku summons the Gavel of Light and holds it up to the heavens. Three beams of light rain down onto the stage and opponents are launched if they touch the beams.
Taunts:
Side: Goku turns around and waves his butt toward the direction you inputted.
Up: Goku crawls to the top of his staff and does a one handed handstand on the top of it.
Down: Goku twirls his staff around and throws it in the air before catching it.
Entrance:
Goku enters the stage riding on his cloud. He gets off and the cloud flies away.
Victory Poses:
Goku twirls his staff around his body and ends it this pose.
Goku climbs on the side of his staff and looks around.
Goku does some kung fu moves while Chao is watching and hurts himself. Chao then runs up to help him.
Music
Goku from Yuyuki stays pretty true to Sun Wukong. Goku would be a vastly unique addition to the Smash roster, using a mixture of his staff and kung fu.
He would also be a new "Retro Character" for the roster. People like retro. Goku met Kirby in Kirby's Dream Land 3 so Goku's potential inclusion would be a reunion.
