His down tilt is a reference to Dawn of the New World during the cutscene fight with Richter. At the very end, he crouched and slashed at him.
And I never showed the Fair in the video... So which animation are you talking about?
And for Sword Rain: Alpha, I don't want him to end in the air because it'd then be too strong for a side smash to end in the air so it can chain with an aerial. I thought of Sonic Sword Rain, but I want to keep variety in the moveset, which Sonic Thrust (Used in Sonic Sword Rain's animation) is part of.
Also, that was one of the changes, Sword Rain: Alpha was moved to side smash because previously, as a throw, It wouldn't work on any bosses or boss-like characters. So moving it to side smash allows people who've played Symphonia to give them a free feel that Sword Rain: Alpha is available to them. Without having to grab someone. That's my reasoning.
I don't just place things arbitrarily. I have a valid and very thought-out reasoning behind all of my decisions.
Ok, so the original person who was going to take a video of Kratos' PSA progress is currently busy.
So, for those who can, would someone like to record the PSA progress? If so, let me know, so I can PM you the necessities.
Also, while working on Lloyd, I am adjusting his moveset a bit from the OP. It will be alot better. I'll upload a brawlbox video over the weekend once I do a few more animations.
I was suggesting something. Ive used him before. Here's the thing, you said you wanted him to do a thrust for his run attack. Have you used the Fierce Deity psa? He has that exact move as his side B. I think that could save you some time.
Well, TP Link isn't my main focus right now, but thanks for the suggestion anyways. I'll get to it when needed.
So, I was thinking about moving a Sword Rain move into his normal moveset, instead of his throws, but I am unsure about where to put it. I was thinking, for those who have suggestions, write them up below. It would help greatly.
This was the main focus question.
And i did see the Sword Rain as the side special, but, I think sword rain should be part of his tilts or smashes. I think his current specials don't really need changing.
I was recently thinking about his current moveset and his currently planned UThrow, Sword Rain: Alpha.
I was thinking, most people who know and love Lloyd have most likely had their share of Sword Rain spamming here or there.
on that note, i thought, since Sword Rain: Alpha is a throw, it doesn't really work on bosses. Which I thought is quite sad.

On other things, I should have a preview video on Kratos sometime soon. (I'm waiting on someone for it)
And I've made some new animations for Lloyd; His spinning neutral attack and down aerial. His up smash and up aerial are WIP.
