Just thought I would post this moveset here. I actually started on it a very long time ago, but could not finish it because I was so busy. Most of these moves derive from
Tales of Symphonia. A few of them derive from
Soul Calibur: Legends, a few I made up. Anyhow, here it is:

8). Final Smash
1). Regular Attack (or “jab”):
• Jab 1: Lloyd performs a swift rising vertical slash of his right hand sword.
• Jab 2: Lloyd follows up with a downward vertical slash.
• Jab 3: Lloyd finishes the combo by performing a spinning slash with his two swords, slashing the opponent twice.
• Rapid Jab (Sword Rain): If the player presses the attack button rapidly, after Jab 2 Lloyd will perform a swift rising vertical slash, then follow up with an endless rain of lightning-fast stabs. At the end of the attack (when the player ceases to press the attack button), Lloyd will finish the combo with a thrust of his left hand sword, pushing the opponent away.
• Regular Attack (with item): Lloyd performs a quick upward diagonal slash with whatever item he is wielding. Damage, speed, and knockback depend on what item Lloyd is wielding.
• Dash Attack: With blinding speed, Lloyd slashes the opponent with both swords simultaneously, sending the opponent flying upward. Instant startup.
2). Tilt Attacks:
• Forward Tilt (Sonic Thrust): Lloyd performs a strong thrust of his sword that pushes the opponent away a medium distance. Very slightly slow startup. Can be “jab-cancelled” into.
• Forward Tilt (with item): Lloyd lunges forward, performing a swift thrust with whatever item he is wielding. Damage, speed, and knockback depend on what item Lloyd is wielding.
• Upward Tilt: Lloyd performs a quick and strong vertical slash that sweeps the enemy in the air, setting him/her up for an air combo. Quick startup. Can be “jab-cancelled” into.
• Downward Tilt: Lloyd sweeps one sword along the ground, damaging the opponent whilst pushing him/her away. Quick startup. Can be “jab-cancelled” into.
3). Smash Attacks:
• Forward Smash (Fierce Demon Fang): Lloyd brings his right-hand sword to the ground with bone-breaking force, creating a shockwave that damages the opponent multiple times before sending him/her flying. Very slightly slow startup. Can kill at high percentages if charged.
• Forward Smash (with item): Lloyd brings the item down onto the opponent with bone-breaking force. Damage, speed, and knockback depend on what item Lloyd is wielding.
• Upward Smash: Lloyd performs three quick slashes above him, the third of which sends the opponent flying upward. Quick startup. Can kill at high percentages if charged.
• Downward Smash (Demonic Circle): Lloyd slashes the opponent once, then brings his right-hand sword to the ground with bone-breaking force, producing a 360-degree shockwave along the ground, sending any adjacent opponent flying. Quick startup. Can kill at high percentages, especially if charged. Though this move is powerful, Lloyd can be knocked out of it before he finishes.
4). Aerial Attacks:
• Neutral Aerial (Tempest): Lloyd curls into a ball and spins in the air with both swords pointed outward, repeatedly slashing any nearby opponent. Instant startup. Good for air combos. Great horizontal and vertical range.
• Forward Aerial (Tiger Rage): Lloyd brings one sword up in a rising vertical slash, then slashes the opponent three more times in a rapid motion. Instant startup. Good for air combos. During this move, Lloyd will stay afloat, making it useful for recovery.
• Backward Aerial: Lloyd twirls around once, slashing any opponent behind him twice. Quick startup. Similar to Ike, Lloyd’s backward aerial will not turn him around.
• Upward Aerial: Lloyd slashes one sword above him in an arc, then, whilst twirling his body, follows up with a second slash. While the first slash only damages the opponent, the second slash will send the opponent flying upward a little, setting him/her up for a possible air combo. Instant startup.
• Downward Aerial: Lloyd slashes both swords underneath him simultaneously. Quick startup. This move briefly slows Lloyd’s fall. Can spike if “sweet-spotted”.
5). Special Moves:
• Standard Special (Demon Fang): Lloyd conjures a miniature shockwave by swinging his sword. If pressed twice, Lloyd will conjure a second shockwave. The shockwave quickly travels along the ground until it either collides with an opponent or object, or reaches the end of the platform. If this move is used in the air, the shockwave will travel downward at a 45-degree angle, dissipating once it hits the ground or another solid object. Quick startup.
• Side Special (Raging Beast): Lloyd spins around once, slashing the opponent twice, then unleashes a burst of energy shaped like a lion’s head, sending the opponent flying. Quick startup. Can kill at high percentages.
• Upward Special (Rising Falcon): Lloyd jumps high into the air, then comes diving with his swords crossed in front of him, damaging any opponent he collides with. A little faster and farther than Falco’s up-special. The angle of Lloyd’s dive can be altered with the control stick, from 45 degrees to 90 degrees. If Lloyd lands on the ground or a platform after diving, he will slide forward a little with his swords held out behind him. Quick startup.
• Downward Special (Guardian): Lloyd crosses his arms and for several seconds projects a green force field that blocks attacks and reflects projectiles. Very slightly slow startup. If used in the air, Lloyd’s descent will be slowed. Though good for defense, melee attacks will slightly push Lloyd away while he is using this move, making it a bad move to use near a ledge.
6). Grab Attacks:
• Grab Animation & Speed: Lloyd sheaths one sword and grabs at the opponent. Very slightly slow startup. Dashing grab is slower than regular grab, while pivot grab is the fastest.
• Pummel: Lloyd bashes the opponent with the hilt of his sword. About as fast and powerful as Link’s pummel.
• Forward Throw: Lloyd hurls the opponent forward a medium-short distance.
• Backward Throw: Lloyd whirls around and throws the opponent a medium-short distance.
• Upward Throw: Lloyd tosses the opponent in the air then follows up with a slash that sends the opponent flying.
• Downward Throw: Lloyd slams the opponent to the ground and jumps onto the opponent, sending him/her flying upward a little.
7). Taunts, Poses, Etc:
• Up Taunt: Lloyd faces the screen and raises both swords over his head in a cross.
• Side Taunt: Lloyd crouches a little whilst holding his swords across his body, his left sword across his waist and his right sword over his head. At the same time, he says, “Come on, bring it!”
• Down Taunt: Using a magickal ring, Lloyd traps himself inside a transparent bubble. He will remain inside the bubble until either he takes damage or the player presses the taunt button a second time, which pops the bubble, slightly damaging any adjacent opponent.
• Victory Pose 1: Lloyd tosses both his swords into the air, one at a time, then deftly catches each one, sheathing it. At the same time he says, “You picked the wrong guy to mess with!”
• Victory Pose 2: Lloyd casually swings both swords in front of him. At the same time, whilst laughing cheerfully, he says “Alright!”
• Victory Pose 3: Lloyd deftly swings both swords, then lunges forward, his right-hand sword thrusted outward and his left-hand sword held inward, pointing forward. At the same time he says, “That was way too easy!”
• Idle Pose 1: Lloyd casually swings one sword, then briefly points the other forward.
• Idle Pose 2: Lloyd taps the toes of his boots on the ground.
• Onscreen Appearance (when the match begins): Lloyd flies above the stage on a bird-shaped flying machine. He then hops off the machine and readies his swords, saying “Let’s go all out!”
8). Final Smash (Falcon’s Crest):Upon initiating the Final Smash, Lloyd will slash at the opponent with both swords simultaneously. If the blow connects, the opponent will be stunned, and Lloyd will combine both of his swords (one a sword of flame, the other a sword of ice) into one powerful weapon, the Eternal Sword. As Lloyd is combining the two swords, balls of energy emerge from a magickal circle beneath him, circling around him and repeatedly damaging any nearby opponent. Eventually, Lloyd will send the opponent into the air with a strong two handed slash, jump up after him/her, then bring his sword down onto the opponent--at the same, Lloyd shouts, “I’ll show you…divine justice!!” The opponent, as well as any other opponent whom was caught in the attack, is sent flying or KO’ed.[/collapse]
