Title: Rhythm Heaven [Character] (More Details: 7/30) Post by: Angelglory on July 10, 2016, 05:10:04 PM I've had this idea of a Rhythm Heaven for awhile but it wasn't until recently that a concept came to mind that my meager skills could finish in the foreseeable future. (http://puu.sh/pXgJ9/7cfae8e21b.gif) 'Rhythm Heaven' Rhythm Heaven as a series represented in Smash Bros. by a 2D amalgamation character that encompasses themes of the games, keeping the rhythm and timing your buttons. Essentially 'Rhythm Heaven' will be a character that changes to move, perform attacks, specials, etc. In addition, some timed button presses will be incorporated into some attacks where hitting the rhythm will benefit the player. I plan to bring this project to vBrawl, EX and Project M, although I'll need help on the latter since I dunno how PSA in P:M works. So how will Rhythm Heaven work? Simple! With each attack, RH will change briefly to perform it before returning to neutral. The Chorus Kids serve as the ones doing the basic movements, but then suddenly... That's essentially how RH attacks, changing 'character' to 'character'. But don't forget your rhythm! If you don't time your buttons well enough... More details to be filled out soon! Stats Size: Varied Weight/Gravity: ? Jumps: 2 Walking Speed: ? Running Speed: ? Air Mobility: ? Falling Speed: ? Moveset Neutral B: Glee Club Side B: Night Walk -Activation: Character rolls forward along the ground. -Timed Press: Character bounces up into the air, the leap leaves a hitbox at point of jump and a weak hitbox on the character. -Mistimed/No Press: Character stumbles along the ground, weak hitbox (tripping hitbox?) Up B: See-Saw See-Saw character lands on see-saw to catapult Chorus Kids upwards. Leads to helpless state. -Timed Press: Extra height gained. -Mistimed/No Press: Less height gained. Down B: Together Now Final Smash: Beat the Beat Neutral Combo: Karate Man Forward Tilt: Clappy Trio Up Tilt: Fruit Basket Down Tilt: Fork Lifter Forward Smash: Samurai Slice Up Smash: (Karate Man or Clap Trap?) Down Smash: Blue Birds Neutral Aerial: ? Forward Aerial: Air Rally -Mistimed/No Press: Weak hit, no meteor smash (good for combos?) Back Aerial: Shoot'em-up Up Aerial: Working Dough Down Aerial: Bunny Hop Grab/Pummel: Forward Throw: Packing Pests Back Throw: Coin Toss Up Throw: Down Throw: Hole-in-one Title: Re: Rhythm Heaven [Character] (More Details: 7/14) Post by: Silver76 on July 16, 2016, 05:49:08 AM It's been years since I played it. Good, old memories :)
Title: Re: Rhythm Heaven [Character] (More Details: 7/14) Post by: Angelglory on July 30, 2016, 02:02:06 AM Well, most of the moveset has been planned out now. I'd show more examples of attacks, but I'll update the first post with them in the morning. I'll also add more descriptions to the attacks in the first post when I have the time.
Right now I'm thinking of what character to use as a base so I can make a prototype skeleton and do some initial testing of the 'model' of RH. Obviously I'm taking inspiration from the 2D Marisa, but I've never actually played the mod, only looked at it in BrawlBox. (I can only assume that metal textures will be... not possible, but that's far down the road anyway.) EDIT: After thought, I've never messed with hurtboxes before, but since this is a character that will be changing 'size' a lot, the hurtboxes will need to change as needed too... Is that possible? I've been far out of the PSA loop for... years.

Anywho, added some animations to the first post. Don't take them as frame data though, they're just for show! Title: Re: Rhythm Heaven [Character] (More Details: 7/30) Post by: Russell_SSB on August 16, 2016, 06:51:53 AM I like this idea. Hopefully it turns out well.

Title: Re: Rhythm Heaven [Character] (More Details: 7/30) Post by: Angelglory on November 26, 2016, 07:10:41 PM It's not. Although most likely going to be a Smash 4 project
