*Thunder! Thundara! THUNDAGA! Project Lightning - Final Fantasy XIII*

[Katy Parry]

Yep, that's right, folks!​

Project Lightning​

Let me just say this: Lightning is the most bad*** character from Final Fantasy I've seen to date, and I'm a Final Fantasy freak. Aren't we all? So I figured, why not put her in Brawl? There's much to be done, frankly, I don't have a team set or even the slightest clue about PSA hacking. But that's the beauty of Smashboards, I'm sure there's quite a few people that would be willing to help me out. So. . .

SIGN UP! I WANT YOU!​

Yes, you! I want your help! I want EVERYONE and EVERYONE's help and ideas for ever aspect so we can make the best PSA ever. Now, let's move this along, shall we?

I want this PSA to go over Zero Suit Samus, because of her body type and play style is very similar to how I see Lightning playing out. Also, there's even a really decent Lightning texture out by Kitty Corp: Meow Mix's jewlecho with credit to KAZECoyote and Razanak7, complete with Vertexed Hair:

Zero Suit Samus Texture

AUTO EFFECTS - Auto effects are vital in FFXIII. So, these effects can be transferred into Brawl easily, at least, well, ha, I have no clue. But these are all IDEAS, remember.

Adrenaline - When your Damage Percent is at has reached a certain point, Physical and Magical power is increased. (Maybe this could be an"Aura" effect Lucario has? If not, it's fine, it's just a neat idea. )

Vendetta - Counter attack after guarding. (I don't know if it's possible, but instead of being able to "grab out of shield", Lightning would be able to immediately attack out of shield, as if every hit to her shield is considered "Perfect Shielding". )

MOVESET

This is just a moveset that I'm making up as I go along. NOTE: ALL MOVES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE! If you think you have a better idea, SHARE IT!

Dash Attach - Daze - Lightning shoulders the enemy. (Ganondorf's Dash Attack.)

A - Slash - Lightning slashes her sword in front of her. (Link's A attack.)

A - A - Cut - Lightning follows her previous sword slash with another. (Link's A A)

A - A - A Blindside - Lightning spins and brings her sword down on her foe. (Marth's Last hit of his Side B, when the last input is >B. Has some decent power to it, comes out a little faster than the actual move.)

Forward A - Cross-Cut - Lightning pulls her sword to her side and makes a heavy slash in front of her. (Ike's forward A)

Down A - Pain - Lightning kicks heavily in front of her, immediately making them fall face first . (Ganondorf's Down A, instead of launching, it acts like Ganondorf's down throw.)

Up A - Launch - Lightning swings her sword above her body, in a half-moon like fashion, highly launching whoever is hit. (Ike's Up Smash, launches a bit higher.)

Forward Smash - Sparkstrike - Lightning's sword is infused with thunder magic as she strikes forward. (Link's SECOND Fsmash attack. If animation looks strange, or doesn't work, use both of Link's Fsmash attacks to make "Froststrike, which has frost effects, to Sparkstrike".)

Down Smash - Quake - Lightning jumps on the ground, and shakes the Earth around her. (Charzard's Down Smash Animation, Donkey Kong's Down B for the actual attack.)

Up Smash - Army Of One - Lightning slashes her sword 3 times above her. (Link's Upsmash, electric properties)

SPECIAL MOVES:

B - ? ( I honestly have no idea what to put here. PLEASE HELP!)

Forward B - ? (I honestly have no idea what to put here. PLEASE HELP!)

Up B - Blitz - Lightning takes her sword and spins once, pushing foes away with a mighty blow. (Link's Up B on ground, only spins ONCE, but in air, Toon Link's Up B. Hard hitter on ground.)

Down B - Thundara - Lightning waves her arm (Zelda's "Assist Trophy RELEASE animation, where she points as if she's commanding them, you know what I mean, however, this animation will be slower, and she'll freeze in that position until the spell is over.) and conjures a small, purple Thunderstorm in front of her (about 5 character spaces in front of her), as seen here:

The thunder is half the size of Pikachu's, and doesn't blast foes away until the last hit. It like, does a paralysis shock effect, like when your hit with Zelda's Fair is Normal Brawl, then you get hit with the last bolt and are sent on your way.

Well, that's it folks! Please help me out! :D I worked hard on this: 3 hours. :D

The rules state that you need at least two SWF members working on the project as well as significant progress on the project (animations, some PSA, etc.), as determined by a mod, before you start a thread for your project. In the meantime, post it in the Fully New Character Archive. Best of luck with this.

I must have read through the rules a bit to quickly. :/ Thanks, chap! :D

 

[Matteron]

I sorry, but when you start a project without a team it usually dies within the first week

 

[CT Chia]

How do you actually plan to do this? -_-

 

[highfive]

Do you even have an MLD0 file to even import in to brawl? Or a viable character this will go over?

Zero Suit Samus Texture PSA kthx

 

[Katy Parry]

How do you actually plan to do this? -_-

Well, my idea has been entered in a voting contest at Kitty Corp: Meow Mix. If my idea gets more vote than an Inyasha PSA, then mine will be made free of charge by a really talented PSA hacker. Also, there is a texture that some one has made for Zero Suit Samus, with her hair vertexed, and I'm already talking to someone who's been vertexing things like Peach's Golf club into a Scythe and Zamus' gun into a knife, in order to get started on her sword. (:

And I really appreciate everyone's support on this idea. >,< It isn't going to help by commenting and saying, "This is gonna die," etc, don't post that here.

Anyway, as you guys can see, I don't really have any ideas for her B/>B moves. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd like to try to make them actually based on moves in the actual game.

You could just replace Samus's gun with Ike's sword though, right? I replaced Peach's parasol with it easily enough (though I don't know how to get the textures working)

I've been talking with some vertex hackers on KC:MM, and I'm sure it's quite possible to take the data from Ike and place it on Zamus. I mean, you can try if you'd like, it'd help us out. Thanks for your participation! (:

 

[TommoPuppy]

I'm probably not the right person to do it. I'm not familiar with texture data and stuff.

Haha, that's perfectly fine. But thanks for showing interest irregardless. :D

You might as well move this to the Fully New Character Archive... since this doesn't even have any notable progress on it (as determined by the rules) for it to have its own thread, I'm going to lock it.
