Lloyd > Klonoa AND Pacman
I was thinking about this for a while. And though Lloyd has very little chances of getting in, I was thinking about some awesome special moves for him.
B - Demon Fang: Lloyd unleashes a wave of energy that travels along the ground. The wave deals 4%, is somewhat slow (about Bowser's running speed) and travels the distance of the main platform of SSBM Battlefield. This attack has some post-lag.
But, after pressing B once, you can combo into more of Lloyd's moves. Pressing B again with proper timing unleashes another Demon Fang, which is slightly faster, stronger (deals 6%) and bigger (but with less range). Pressing >B after this one unleashes the third hit of Demonic Chaos, a wave twice the size of the initial Demon Fang that deals 3x3% damage but has half the distance.
Pressing >B after the first Demon Fang activates Fierce Demon Fang, where Lloyd slams one of his swords on the ground and creates a short-range shockwave in front of him that deals 4x2% damage. Pressing vB after that unleashes Demonic Chaos, similar to Fierce Demon Dang except the shockwave encircles Lloyd, rather than just in front of him. The attack deals 6x2% damage.
With each additional hit, Lloyd gets a bit more post-lag. A simple Demon Fang can be used about as frequently as the Ice Climbers' neutral B, but after using Demonic Chaos, he has to rest for about 1 second before moving again.
>B - Sword Rain - Lloyd bends back, and lunges forward with a flurry of sword hits (similar to Link's A, A, A combo). The attack lasts for 1.5 seconds, and deals up to 10x2% damage.
If timed properly, though, Lloyd can perform additional moves after the combo is done. If B or >B is pressed, he can finish with a sword thrust that deals 5% damage with low knockback but high hitstun. If ^B is pressed, he finishes with Sword Rain Alpha, where he leaps into the air while slashing - this deals 5% damage and knocks opponents vertically. If VB is pressed, he short hops and slashes beneath him, which does 5% damage and acts as a meteor attack.
Like Demon Fang, Sword Rain itself has a bit of lag, but adding the finishers forces Lloyd to rest for a bit before moving again.
vB - Beast: This is Lloyd's KO move. He jabs his shoulder forward, then unleashes a a transparent blue figure in the shape of a lion's head. The shoulder jab deals no damage, but stuns an opponent long enough for Lloyd to pull off his actual attack, which does 20% damage with high knockback.
If B is pressed quickly, instead of a shoulder jab, he twirls around once, drawing nearby enemies towards him - the twirl does no damage, but the Beast attack only deals 16%.
If ^B is pressed during the Beast attack (but not if the above was used), he short hops into the air and crashes down, creating a shockwave around him that repels enemies. The Beast attack again only does 16% damage, but the shockwave deals 4% to anything it hits. Lloyd has super armor while performing this later part.
The Beast attack by itself has a lot of lag, but adding the twirl or shockwave adds a lot more.
^B - Tempest: Lloyd essentially performs a vertical version of Link's Spin Attack. The attack propels Lloyd in an arc, leaving him at the same horizontal position but moving him forward slightly less than DK's recovery. If it hits enemies, it can deal up to 5x2% damage.
If ^B is pressed twice before the attack begins, Lloyd spins diagonally instead of in an arc. The attack sends him slightly farther than the regular Tempest, but he flips backwards once after the attack is done. It deals up to 5x3%.
If ^B is pressed during the attack, once Lloyd has traveled horizontally, he keeps spinning, and travels entirely vertically about the distance of one of his jumps. Again, he does a backwards flip in midair. The extra part of the attack deals up to 3x2%.
His A attacks, aerials, grabs and Final Smash would be the same as described in the first post, but would deal less damage. Like Meta Knight, I se Lloyd as a character who focuses on racking up damage with combos, but with a few good killing moves (as that's essentially what he does in ToS).
Also, Lloyd has three games under his belt. ToS, the sequel to ToS (when it comes out), and he also appears as a playable character in Soul Calibur Legends for the Wii. He isn't just a one-shot character anymore.
