Wacky Moveset Ideas

[kaithehedgefox]

Now that my behavior has improved, I've thought of a brand new idea lately. What if we could think of wacky/bizarre movesets for characters. It would either make them out of character, not suit them etc..

Here's a template you can use:

Moveset Creation

A moveset is made up of 23 inputs:

• 4 Special Moves [ Neutral | Up | Side | Down ]
• 5 Standard Attacks [ Jab | Dash Attack | Up Tilt | Forward Tilt | Down Tilt ]
• 3 Smash Attacks [ Forward | Up | Down ]
• 5 Aerial Attacks [ Neutral | Up | Down | Forward | Back ]
• 6 Grab Game Inputs [ Grab | Pummel | Up Throw | Down Throw | Forward Throw | Back Throw ]
• Plus a Stats Section [ Movement | Size | Weight | any Unique Mechanics | etc. ]

You can list them in whatever order you want. Most movesets list Special Moves first, since their unique properties often tie a moveset together as a "core" and can be relevant to the rest of the moves. For example, Shulk's Monado Arts change up how the rest of his moves are used, so it'd be helpful to list his Special Moves at the beginning. Similarly, a character's Stats should go in the beginning bit.Outside of that, the order varies a lot, but moves are almost always grouped together into the five sections bullet-pointed above. Do whatever you'd like here!Other optional things you might want to include:

• Image of the character [ Recommended! ]
• Intro writeup for the character [ Recommended! ]
• Final Smash [ Recommended! ]
• Taunts
• Custom Specials
• Situational Attacks [ Ledge Attack | Getup Attack ]
• Miscellaneous Flavor [ Home Stage | Alternate Costumes | etc. ]

Here's my example of a wacky moveset idea: (It's not complete though)

Spoiler: My wacky Nate (Yokai Watch) moveset idea (incomplete)

Neutral Special: Nate fires a beam of energy from his cupped hand, similar to the Kamehameha. Can be charged up.

Side Special: Nate fires a flurry of rapid energy blasts from his hand.

Up Special: Nate performs a rising slash with his energy sword projected from his hand. Similar to the Shoryuken.

Down Special: Nate performs rapid slashes with his energy sword in all directions, while spinning.

For most of Nate's Melee attacks he projects his energy sword from his hand. Similar to Kuwabara (Yu Yu Hakusho).

Katie is also an alternate skin for Nate.

Mario. But his entire moveset uses his vehicles from Mario Kart (Probably Standard and B-Dasher), and the items associated with it. This might sound somewhat dumb but I think the idea has a lot of potential if done well.

Thanks for bumping up this thread! Can we get anymore ideas?

Sure! So, like. Link. But all of his moves are items.
This might sound odd but considering the existence of items like the Dominion Rod, Clawshot, the sand pillar thing from Phantom Hourglass, the myriad of bombs and arrows...

Okay, but I would like other users to post their ideas for wacky movesets in this thread as well! But how do you think of my wacky moveset I made for Nate (Yokai Watch) above?

And, on that note. How about Joker, but he actually uses his Wild Card? He could play a little like the characters in Heritage for the Future, being able to summon the Persona chosen at will, with it desummoning if it is damaged too much. Plus, they'd be used for specials, not just a buff. For instance - Jack Frost would have ice-based attacks, Izanagi would have thunder-based stuff, etc. I imagine he has access to Izanagi, Orpheus, Jack Frost, Pyro Jack and Arsene - a clever blend of recognisable, important and different Personas with different skills and attributes that would be very interesting to see!

I really like it! :D

Could you please give me more detailed opinions/remarks about my wacky Nate (Yokai Watch) moveset?

Sure thing. For starters, it really leans in a different direction than the traditional 'anime sword boi' style, what with the energy sword being completely different in style. Not only that, but we don't really have a flurry-beatdown swordster yet. I know a lot of people want that to be filled by Lyn, but this sounds more interesting to me personally.

 

[Otoad64]

they add black mage from final fantasy, but he's classified as a mario character and his moveset is based on mario hoops 3-on-3

 

[Perkilator]

Ayumi Tachibana
B : Flashlight; Ayumi shines her flashlight in a medium area (10%), briefly stunning opponents in range
B + Forwards : Solar Rays; Ayumi uses her magnifying glass to create a ray of sun (8%). The attacks power is increased by 7% damage for a single hit when used on stages that take place in the daytime.
B + Up : Umbrella; Ayumi nervously opens her umbrella and floats in a single direction without stopping, only slowing down when the control stick is tilted in the opposite direction
B + Down : Inspect; Ayumi inspects the ground with her magnifying glass; there’s a 50/50 chance of Ayumi picking up an item

Final Smash: Case Closed; Ayumi glares at up to 3 opponents. Any caught in her vision are taken into a cutscene emulating FDC on the Famicom, where Ayumi declares the opponent(s) the perpetrator(s). The attack is increased by 5% if the opponent(s) is holding an item.

You are free to make wacky movesets for any character.

I've always thought Balloon Fighter seemed pretty wacky. A character who is very weak unless he's floating around on balloons. He'd be the polar opposite of Little Mac; heck, maybe he could even have a decent ground game if he has two or more balloons inflated, but bad if he's down to less.

If Waluigi gets in I think it would be hillarious if this was his neutral b
Lucky Roll
Waluigi preforms any of the preexisting neutral B moves in the game at random, it changes every time he presses the B button.
So, you might want to zone out your opponent with a projectile, but instead you do a Warlock Punch and leave yourself open.
Also, Sonic but he has a Werehog meter that builds up over time that functions like Arsene.

Sonic's werehog meter could also work for a Super Saiyan-esque mechanic.
