The Smasher's Resource [Program]

[Ploaj]

Might be a bit early to show, but gotta get started somewhere. As the title implies, this is for a Smash ripoff styled engine I started working on using the assets from tFR. I don't believe it's a rule that is has to be in traditional fighter format, so I thought "why not?"

Currently planned are 4 characters.
(Gilbert, Neko, Chris2Balls, Bombergirl)

They will be implemented in that order. Gilbert will take the most time as I get the engine together.


And that's it. No stages nothing. I want to get 4 working fighters and go from there.





I want to include most of smash's mechanics.
To get an idea here is my current to-do list. In order of priority, probably.

So why the topic now?
I wanted input on characters and their design and properties.

For example, here is what I currently have planned for Gilbert.

Gilbert

Current plans:

Jab:
Gilbert has a kinda bad jab. It's slow, but has okay range and a bit of start up.

Nair:
It's hitbox lingers out for a short time. It's Gilbert's best approach tool.

Bair:
Wasn't planned this way, but in game it feels like Jigglypuff's. I don't think giving a tanky character like Gilbert a wall-o-pain is a good idea :p
It is fast and pretty powerful, but has a kinda small hitbox.

Fair:
A really quick attack that when sweet spotted has a small semi-spike. Nair is more useful is most situations.

Up air:
One of Gilbert's best aerials. It has a decent sized hitbox above him and is quick.
Base knockback and knockback growth are low, so it's best for building up damage.

F-tilt:
Kinda slow, but has great base knockback. Better for getting some distance than anything else.

F-Smash:
A very powerful smash. Not the fastest, but not unusable slow. Leaves you open for a short bit.

Up-Tilt:
Really fast but abysmal range. I "get out of me face" attack.

Up-Smash:
It's okay. Nothing special though...
Not a lot or horizontal range.

D-Tilt:
Not very good.

D-Smash & D-Air: No animation yet currently.


No idea for his specials yet.
Side special will probably be the bullet head.

This post will be updated and organized as stuff is added and fixed.

And that's all for now, Thank you.
