Would you redo scyther?
There is currently a PSA for right now, but honestly I feel like it could be much cooler. You're certainly creative enough, and I was wondering if you'd like to give his moveset a try.
KingJigglypuff finalized a version of scyther here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?79xw09ktu0k84ktThis is a balanced version. (Should you decide to take the job, I would like for him to remain balanced.)
However, there is much to be desired.
For example, Scyther's up B is rather glitchy. You can't use it if you're on the ground. You can only use it in the air. Also, you can't aim it well. You can go left, right, or up. (and maybe down. I've never tried. No where in between. Also, the move doesn't even do damage.
My suggestion for this would probably be to have you make his up B Ominous Wind or Silver Wind. This wind should propel him and then follow him and should be a cool color. It should also be damaging.
Scyther's neutral B is fair. The move is called swift. He shoots 3 stars, and it's not terrible. However, the animation simply seems a bit off. Perhaps that could be addressed, or maybe you have a cooler idea and can replace it. Razor wind and hyper beam come to mind. Perhaps you can have hyper beam be a charge move, and have a giant long blast come out, similar to the animations on the gameboy games.
Scyther's down B is also one of the bigger areas for imporovement. I think it is currently silver wind or something. Whatever it is... It's lame. It's hard to hit with, it isn't that damaging, and it doesn't have much of a knockback. This move could probably be replaced. Maybe it could use steel wing, and its wings grow as it spins to attack all directions. (Similar to mario's tornado, but hopefully cooler, because mario's tornado isn't so great.)
Now all that is left is side B. I kind of was thinking quick attack. Scyther should attack, in the direction, and quickly return to where he was. So left b will have him swiftly run and attack to his left, then have him seemingly teleport (due to the speed of the attack) back to where he was. Maybe something else would be cool too.
Finally, there is really nothing wrong his his A moves, but they are limited and not that creative. All just slash attacks. There is room for improvement if you'd like to improve it.
Other Changes:
-Scyther can glide, but the animation doesn't look so great, perhaps you could fix that
-I feel like scyther should be albe to fly in a similar way to charizard. But much less heavy. So he should have more jumps than just two
-He has one projectile right now, hopefully you can find a way to make sure he has one
-Maybe one of his smash moves could be a slash, and at the end of it a damaging leaf could go a short distance out from it
No matter what you decide, even if you choose not to even give Scyther a moveset, I appreciate your consideration. Thanks man!
Oh, and by the way, Scyther's moveset is here:

Also, remember that these are just suggestions, I really won't be disappointed at all if you don't do any of my suggestions. I don't really know your software limitations and I'm sure you can be more creative with it than I can.
Thanks again!
