Ya want a preview? Here's a preview!
This is part of my Kalas move that should be done by tomorrow if i'm not lazy lol.
Special Mechanic -- The spirit’s trust
In the Baten Kaitos games, for the main character to fully utilise their powers correctly, they had to keep a strong bond with their guardian spirit that dwells inside them. The player of the game had to keep both, the main character and the guardian spirit, bond strong, and basically be like best friends in order to unleash their full powers, and inflict some heavy damage on the enemy. In Smash Bros, it’s no different, but you get to incorporate it in a different way. The bond will increase if Kalas is doing well at his game. For example, if Kalas manages to hit all of his attacks, with no misses, it'll increase his bond like that. If you get enough bond with Kalas and his guardian spirit, he can enter spirit mode (which BTW, is indicated by him having a glowly blue aura surrounding him). At that time, if you perform a spirit attack (which will be labelled in the moveset), it can deal lots of damage to the opponent or have some other special effect. Once you perform the spirit move though, you can't perform it again for another while. Of course, you don't have to use your spirit attack. You can just wait for about 5 seconds, before Kalas turns back to normal and out of spirit mode. Of course, getting to spirit mode takes a while. At starting the game, you've got no bond ready. You increase it though by doing the following things.
Landing a successful hit on the opponent: +1
Manage to KO the opponent: +5
Taunt without interference: +2
Successfully managing to dodge an opponent's move: +3
Natural increase if you haven't lost a stock yet: +1 every 20 seconds
Get 20 bond points and then you can enter spirit mode.
Of course, you can always lose some of the bond with Kalas and his guardian spirit. Messing up, or doing things that might not help Kalas will cause you to lose some points. Here they are:
Failing to hit an opponent/Just showing off moves: -1
Getting Koed: -3
Taunt, but gets interferred: -2
L/R button Shield is broken: -5
Of course, you can't get below zero spirit points, so don't worry too much.
Here's what he looks like:
*Note that Kalas is only doing the blue aura animation while in spirit mode. He will only do the breaking of the blue spirit orb in his Side B, Downwards aerial, Forward aerial, down throw and final smash.
