Queen of the Underworld: Vote for Medusa's Homecoming Party!

[AncientTobacco]

We need a Pandora alt

Pandora alt? Do you mean something like this?

 

[Popo Nana Power]

Kirby having her hair for a hat would be neat.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Pandora alt? Do you mean something like this?

No. Seriously. I can't handle the awesomeness.

I'll add it in the OP as "Alt colors by AncientTobacco"!

 

[majora_787]

Pandora alt? Do you mean something like this?

That's awesome. Wow. Great job.

 

[DustyPumpkin]

I think Orange the Snake should always be a separate colour from the rest of them

 

[Pacack]

Could you try a Viridi and/or Hades inspired one too?

 

[AncientTobacco]

Could you try a Viridi and/or Hades inspired one too?

Sure, I'll give it a try.

EDIT: Behold the true master of the underworld:

I probably won't have time to do the Viridi one until Wednesday.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

All those alt MUST happen. At all cost.

This is truly some great work!

 

[Pacack]

Sure, I'll give it a try.

EDIT: Behold the true master of the underworld:

I probably won't have time to do the Viridi one until Wednesday.

Great god of the Underworld, this is amazing!

I've been thinking. So how would you guys react if Medusa and Palutena are both confirmed in the same trailer? (like how Charizard and Greninja were.)

At first, probably this.

Then this.

I think that's exactly what is going to happen. I mean I don't know why they would open the "Two reveals in one trailer" door if they weren't going to use it in a place where it's most valuable.

Also that Hades Medusa is amazing. Holy crap.

Well, in already existing series, I can see only 3 that can get a double reveal know. Fire Emblem with Ike and a newcommer, Wario with a newcommer (because I'm a Wario fanboy) and Kid Icarus.

And we all know that a double trailer for Kid Icarus would be godly

It would start out with Pit fighting someone until the heavens open up, Palutena walks down stairs of light

*Palutena Graces the Battlefield*

Then the ground on his other side will open up, Medusa climbs out and adjusts her neck

*Medusa uh... ..... Sideboob*

So anyway Pit is visibly shaken as the two ladies approach the center of the battlefeild
Epic shots of their faces and they get closer along with a loud banging noise, Shots of them doing moves and jumping and fighting and whatnot

and then they start thumb wrestling

It's too late for me to be thinking

 

[AncientTobacco]

That would be amazing and very fitting.
As Charizard and Greninja had the contrast of fire and water, Palutena and Medusa would have the contrast of light and darkness.

 

[8-peacock-8]

I know i'd probably be happy seeing Medusa.

Also, here's a song for the trailer!

 

[majora_787]

I think we'd all be happy to see Medusa. And that's true, Palutena and Medusa would also contrast heavily like Charizard and Greninja did.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

I know i'd probably be happy seeing Medusa.

Also, here's a song for the trailer!

I love how it's basically a Medley between the Kid Icarus leitmotiv (the original Underworld theme) and the Boss Battle 1 theme. Really fitting for a Palutena/Medusa trailer

Also, it's a similarity I noticed between KI and Kirby, they both have a reccuring leitmotiv in a lot of songs. Of course the leitmotiv is different between the two series.
Edit: This is also noticeable with Brawl's main theme.

This pic says it all, including the smile and the feast.

 

[AncientTobacco]

I had time after all. (Because I procrastinated).

I'm probably going to do Pyrrhon next. I want to see how that red skin will look on Medusa.

The Medusa thread is turning into a religious experience.

Just imagine a Dyntos Medusa in this situation.

Great work as usual! Some contrast are somewhat weird (especially the green details of the dress) but it's only because of the editing.

Does this look better? Or worse?

Spoiler

Or did you just mean that green doesn't fit well with the other colors?

I really do like this one, but is it possible to change Medusa's skin tone to more resemble Viridi's? The snakes could be more blonde and less white, too...

Good job, but not quite as good as your others.

 

[stan423321]

Hey, these palette swaps are actually looking good on Medusa. So firstly, good job, AncientTobacco! Secondly, what is special about her looks that makes it work? I've seen loads and loads of palette swaps and they have been rarely working so well.

 

[majora_787]

Some characters are just born with designs that allow for great palette swaps, I guess? I dunno.

How's this?

By the way, I've had the Pyrrhon one ready for hours but I want to get this sorted out first.

Perfect! That's exactly what I was thinking! It doesn't look so purple anymore!

Great, then I can post the next one.

This one might be one of my favourites.

Ah, I also like this one more! I guess it's simply because those details on the dress are shiny again.

Awesome. Simply awesome.

Seeing this, I think we only need Medusa, she can represent everyone

 

[Pacack]

Great, then I can post the next one.

I love it. Absolutely love it. Amazing job.

 

[DustyPumpkin]

Still think she should keep that one snake being a different colour thing
Amazon Pandora - Gold, Like her Hair Ring Thing
Hades - Pink, Like the inside of his robe that comes around his neck
Viridi - Brown- Red, Like The Thorns on her Hair Rose
Pyrrhon - Green, Like his Forehead Gem

Granted it's not needed on the one with her original colours
Idk, I guess I just prefer it.

I was just thinking the same thing about Pyrrhon Medusa. Would be a minor, but welcome change.

 

[Dalek_Kolt]

I personally don't think she's going to make it (Due to a ton of Uprising influence and her being displaced by Hades midway through) but if she did make it in the game, I see her as a Palutena clone in the future. Most likely heavyweight and slow, and with about as much diversity as Luigi best-case scenario, or as much uniqueness as Wolf worst-case scenario.

I'm not here to rain on your parade, though. Good luck, and may the best villain win.

 

[majora_787]

Medusa was already on fire. This thread is getting way too toasty for me.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Well, it's time I make a moveset. I'll will not go through all moves, just specials, some normals, the grab and the Final Smash.

Spoiler

I envision Medusa as a Heavy character with a few moves with killing potential, but great ability to rack up damages through poison and spacing moves.

Normal Attacks
Side-Tilt: Poisonous Gas

Medusa spray a poisonous gaz from the palm of her hand, poisoning foes.

Side-Smash: Claw

Medusa claws the ennemies in front of her.
Up-Tilt: Snake bite
The snakes on her head protect her by biting in several directions above her.

Up-Smash: Final Uppercut

A powerful uppercut.
Grab: Orange the snake grab foes. Good range, but not a tether (similar to Olimar's Grab).
Pummel: Snakes bites the opponent.

SPECIAL MOVES
Neutral-B: Stone Gaze

(not the actual animation)
Medusa sends a laser from her eyes that transforms foe into a statue. Makes the character heavier and unable to move, and can be picked up like crates. Limited range, but chargeable for more range and stun duration.


Side-B: Eye Turret

Medusa summons en eye that send projectiles. Only one at a time, and easy to destroy.
Down-B: Dark Mine

Medusa blows a mine that float in Mid-Air. She can set 3 at a time. Good for controlling the space. Not a great killing potential, but poison foes upon explosion.


Up-B: Teleportation

Nothing particular, a recovery move where Medusa teleport. Maybe a poison effect at the start of the teleport?


FINAL SMASH: Monsterous Medusa

Medusa turns into a monster and detach her head.
The floating head sends huge poisonous clouds and killing lasers.

The head then returns to Medusa's body, and she turns back to her normal form.

For some reasons, it's a really tactical moveset... And Snake was the tactical character in Brawl

By the way, I tried to add as many uniqueness as possible.
