Honestly Smash takes a whole lot of creative liberties with its Up Specials sometimes. Nothing screamed "recovery" to me about Hydro Pump or Cross Chop before smash - if anything those moves are closer to how I imagine Aqua Jet and Flare Blitz (which is also in Smash) to look on those pokemon.

Tons of moves can work as recoveries if you're creative enough with them.

 

[PeridotGX]

Well I got three out of four of those in my roster, so I’d be interested in hearing more.

Here's Weavile (which kinda falls apart after the specials)

Here's Decidueye

Grimmsnarl and Mr. Rime are barely past the conceptual stage, but once they're done I'll share.

 

[Wademan94]

PeridotGX I think I’m gonna go with Night Slash for Weavile and Astonish for Decidueye for their Up Specials, those seem like they’d make a lot of sense

Nice moves so far but I do think Decidueye should have at least one grass type move in its specials, if you need any help with ideas, I’d be more than willing to provide more feedback.

 

[Aurane]

After giving some guys in Doubles Ranked a thorough ass-kicking, I got enough points to claim for myself a Jolly Mint, which I used on Marshadow to complete its training.

So, all together, I've added Zekrom, Genji- er, Celebi, and Marshadow.

Very good day. I'm gonna be doing Battle Tower runs now to farm up a bunch of Battlr Points.

I can't sleep but also can't keep my eyes open, it's starting to drive me insane and my head's killing me, too.

Don't mind me, I'm just venting, not like I'm able to do much else right now.

I wrote Decidueye as a companion piece of sorts to , with some of the same ideas. Incineroar doesn't have a single fire move, so Decidueye doesn't get a grass move

 

[Wademan94]

I was looking at Weavile’s movepool and I wonder how Assurance could work as a special move...

Assurance is a laggy move, but if someone got hit like 3 seconds before Assurance connects, it's damage gets multiplied, great for Doubles, awful for 1v1s

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Experiencing more daylight is a flippin' God-send. Awful time waking up, but it feels worth it today.

 

[Noipoi]

I’ve got 5/8 regions complete.

I’m finishing this Pokedex.

I guess, though my moveset for him in my Pokémon fighter does have him at least use Flamethrower since spewing flames from the belt is a canon thing in his Pokédex. I’m not gonna directly copy and paste from Smash though I wouldn’t mind having the Smash versions available to switch out.

Could be another Counter clone? I kind of forget how it works other than Dark and damage. >.<;

If the target has taken damage in the same turn, then the attack power gets doubled.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Hmm. Maybe you could spam it for extra damage, but the knockback could slightly decrease in return?

That or maybe it could be a combo move akin to Dancing Blade. More or less could kind of work similar to Arm Thrust's animation?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Walking in here after only managing to do about a third of what I aimed for work wise tonight. Gonna be another up til 4am night.

How's everyone?

It, and only it has reverse scaling in combos. So it gets stronger when applied to a string, as opposed to weakening. Maybe make it act as a great combo ender. As a single use hit or as a neutral tool, it's use becomes much weaker.

Problem with that is Smash's staling works differently than most fighting games

 

[Kirby Dragons]

Actually what Pokémon moves in general would work as Smash style up specials? I’ve put in a few options like Teleport, Sky Uppercut, Bounce, Dragon Rush, Petal Blizzard, etc.

• any Flying-type move
• Jump Kick
• High Jump Kick
• Whirlwind
• Twister
• Power Whip
• Toxic Thread
• Surf
• String Shot
• Steel Wing

 

[Knight Dude]

I thought we were talking fighting games in general. Doesn't Smash's move degrading come from using the same move constantly, rather than combo length?

• any Flying-type move
• Jump Kick
• High Jump Kick
• Whirlwind
• Twister
• Power Whip
• Toxic Thread
• Surf
• String Shot
• Steel Wing

Petal Dance could probably work too, and U-tun or Volt Switch could work as either a side or upward recovery attack.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Well looks like I came at the wrong time feels like.

I'm good. Just working. Still got plenty of hours left before I rest for the night.
Also loving my new avatar. Ness <3

Hot, headache, tired but also unable to sleep. Basically everything you can think of.

 

[Megadoomer]

I finished the Ninth Doctor's run for Doctor Who! I'm glad that I had a good portion of the weekend off, and that I found a box set for the 9th and 10th Doctors, so I could binge watch the second half.

All in all, I liked it - some of the endings to cliffhangers or conflicts came across as a bit like Deus Ex Machina at times (a plot device coming out of nowhere to save the heroes from certain doom), but it was a great introduction to the character, and it was entertaining and accessible.

On to the Tenth Doctor now, though I might take a break for supper. It will be a bit weird for me at first - I'm used to David Tennant as Kilgrave from Jessica Jones, who is a VERY different character from the Doctor.

 

[Deleted member]

I just had a weird fighting game concept:

It's a arcade-style fighter, but instead of having movesets, each character has a prebuilt deck that can't be changed, and at the beginning of a round the cards you get are randomized. And you can combine certain cards to get better effects, or even do very strong attacks.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Man right now I think I'll make a post in the Personal Projects Showcase and then really force myself to finish work.

I'll probably end up kicking stuff out of frustration and having to deal with headaches but hey.
I can't afford to miss another day of college for a while especially with my trip to England and Wales at the end of next week.

Sonic Battle uses cards as part of its gameplay, which allow you to actually rebuild Emerl entirely to fight how you want. Maybe that could help you work it out?

I was thinking more so how Kingdom Hearts does it in the few games where they use cards

Having a decent day.

 

[Aurane]

Has anyone here gotten ahold of a 6IV Ditto yet?

I'm STILL looking for one.

 

[Wademan94]

Petal Dance could probably work too,

Got that move in mind for Roserade. I have all it’s specials figured out already.

I was never much of a fan if 9, he always felt kinda creepy and too dark for me (maybe I just had his character from 28 Days Later in the back of my mind).

I had a really weird introduction to Doctor Who: I had just come in from cutting my grandparents' back lawn and ended up falling asleep to what turns out was halfway through the the finale of series 5 (the first season of 11's run). A few days later I thought "that little bit of that show seemed cool" and ended up watching the first episode of series 5, then a few reruns of Tennant era. Then I started from the beginning (of the 2005 restart) and have been watching new episodes as they air ever since.

I love Doctor Who haha

Back to school. Nothing is still happening

Been sitting here waiting for a guy to get back to me about a trade.

Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm...

Gengar was abandoned for 3 years at the lab too.

The trainer who left Gengar is almost like those scummy trainers who left Charmander and Tepig in past series of Pokemon.

He has finally awakened his inner Spanish Chav.

As for me I've barely done any work. Also I made a post you guys might like on the Personal Projects Showcase. Need the thing to be kept alive.

I'm jonesing for a leak here, my dudes.

I'm jonesing for a leak here, my dudes.

Honestly the fact we've gone this long without any obvious leaks leads me to believe Nintendo is being very protective atm. Like the last major leak we had was...what, for the direct that revealed Byleth? I haven't actually been keeping up with all the leakage, my apologies if this is incorrect

 

[Knight Dude]

I'm jonesing for a leak here, my dudes.

My mans really said y'all got any of them Smash leaks. Even a Sony State of play one.



I'm sure we'll have some major info on games before E3. I'm not sure how picky you are or how many systems you own, but Ghosts of Tsushima dropped a trailer and is coming out in June. On top of Samurai Jack.
