Fighter Template: Difference between revisions

Name: [What is the Name of your Fighter?]

Received By: [How can one obtain this Fighter?]

Jab: [A series of weak attacks your Fighter does while standing still. This has the main use of combo potential or just being an overall quick move in your Fighters kit.]

Down Tilt: [A low-hitting, fast move aimed near the Fighter’s feet whilst they’re crouched. Often used to poke or pressure grounded opponents without being too open.]

Neutral Air: [A fast attack that usually hits all around your Fighter while airborne. It’s useful for interrupting opponents or covering your approach.]

Down Air: [A downward attack used while falling. These are usually used to launch opponents directly downwards, either onto the stage or to their deaths.]

Side Strong: [A powerful, charged forward attack your Fighter does. Great for knocking out opponents when they’re at high damage, but leaves your Fighter vulnerable.]

Down Strong: [A heavy attack that usually hits on both sides of your Fighter. Useful when surrounded, but it usually boasts less kill power than Side or Up Strong.]

Grab: [A move that your Fighter does to grapple an opponent Fighter. This is used to throw opponents around or punish Blocking enemies, as Grabs break through Blocks.]

Down Throw: [A throw that tosses a grabbed Fighter downward, usually at the ground. Usually the most damaging throw, and it usually is good for combos.]

Neutral Special: [A unique move your Fighter does when the Special button and no input is pressed. Usually defines your Fighter’s playstyle or identity. For example, Mario’s Fireball is his Neutral Special as that's something he’s most known for.]

Down Special: [A unique move your Fighter does when the Special button and down is pressed. Usually is the wildest move in a Fighters kit, from counters, to traps, to transformations. For example, Marth’s Counter is his Down Special as it gives him a tool to defend himself other than a shield, which is a very unique thing.]

Input Command: [An input string consisting of 🡠, 🡤, 🡡, 🡥, 🡢, 🡦, 🡣, 🡧, and Special (S) at the end of said input string. A Fighter can have up to three of these, and they are usually either reserved for moves that could have been Specials, or high-skill combo tools, unique attacks, or defining character mechanics. For example, Terry’s Power Geyser is one of his Input Commands as it rewards him with a more powerful attack for doing an input string. This assumes your Fighter is facing right.]

Idle Stance: [The pose your Fighter does while standing still. This is usually used to show off a bit of personality your Fighter has.]

Entrance Animation: [An animation your Fighter does when they enter a match. This has the purpose of showing how that Fighter got on the Stage.]

Join Animation: [How does your Fighter enter the Lobby and take their seat in a chair? Additionally, how does your Fighter take their seat?]
