Echo Blade Zelda
The Official Thread
Recent News:
- Now that she's been released, people have to tell me what's good, and what ain't. Gotta make her fair, ya know?
- Besides the shrinking and the occasional edits, I plan to put the next step of this project on hold. I have a few ideas I'd like to finish first =P
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/al_090907_19461.jpg)
I need feedback on which moves are overpowered/underpowered. I don't want her to be too broken~
Info:
- Zelda is fire-based ["wow soo overdone blah blah"] the same way Sheik has electric-based attacks.
- The Echo Blade will obviously be used in the majority of her attacks.
Physics:
- Air Mobility increased.
- The Echo Basics:
+ Moderate speed increase
+ Weight decrease [85 to 70]
+ Footstool boost
Attacks:

Jab: The Beckoning
She swings her arm, and hitboxes pull you closer. Simple, effective.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090907_1943.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090907_1943.jpg)
F-Tilt: Quick Step
She dashes, then disappears? She then reappears, burning your face. Yum.
Tidbits:
+ Hold down A to slash with your blade instead!
+ There are THREE variations of this move, controlling which way you teleport, depending on the way you tilt. Including the sword variation, there are SIX possible moves. Have fun learning which is which!

U-Tilt: Just a Stretch
She lifts her hand, effectively igniting whoever happens to be above her. Simple.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090907_19412.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090907_19412.jpg)
D-Tilt: Flash Fire
F-Smash: Ike Called, He Wants His Move Back. [name pending]
As the sword comes down, the dude caught in it gets it multiple times before the launch.
Tidbits:
+ The tip is mad weak ['cuz it's the farthest blah blah blah]. Hit with the center.
++ The real reason is I'm having hitbox problems, but w/e. This works too.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090904_2144.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090904_2144.jpg)
Dash Attack: Charge!
She spins, then charges forward. Well, not really. More like glides.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090905_1735.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090905_1735.jpg)
U-Smash: Abusing That Darkness Effect [name pending]
U-Tilt animaton, with DAHKNESS! It pulls you in before spitting you out.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090905_1736.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090905_1736.jpg)
D-Smash: Trippin'
The trip, with moh powah. Hits in front, then in back, then in front again. Pretty quick.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090905_17361.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090905_17361.jpg)
Nair: I Didn't Change
Same move. With slashy flags.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090907_1947.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090907_1947.jpg)
U-Air: Boom!
Exactly the same.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090905_17411.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090905_17411.jpg)
Dair: Boom! with a Twist~
The only move I was settled on from the get-go. She spins fancily in the air.
...
Oh yeah, and there's an explosion beneath you.
...
It spikes.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090904_21411.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090904_21411.jpg)
Fair: Sweets
Same move as before. With FIYAH. I made it a tiny bit bigger, and removed a sourspot.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090905_1741.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090905_1741.jpg)
Bair: That Ain't Puff
Standard 'My foot's gonna stick out for a really long time, and I'll abuse this move many more times to steadily push you farther away from the stage' kick. Trademarked by Jiggs.
Tidbits:
+ This and Fair can be L-canceled =P Try it, if you're holding a shield command when you hit the ground, the animation lag will be cut in half. My little tribute to Melee.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090905_1740.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090905_1740.jpg)
Neutral B: Sacred Light
This allows access to a new set of moves! As legend has it [I don't know which, but it's legit], there are only three sacred weapons, held by the worthiest of heroes: the sword, the shield, and the jewel.
...
Yes, the jewel.
Tidbits:
+ In the air, it cancels most of your momentum. That's pretty useful, I must say.
+ You have to reload it every time you use one of the 'special' moves. Kinda annoying, kinda fun.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090907_19411.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090907_19411.jpg)(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090907_1941.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090907_1941.jpg)
New N-Air: That Ain't Link
Instead of flashy lights, Zelda pulls out two swords during her spin.
...Because that's original.
It has good knockback, regardless of damage.
Tidbits:
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090907_1946.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090907_1946.jpg)
New F-Air and F-Tilt: That Ain't Mario
What? An Echo shield? That's pretty sick. It stays out for a while, and turns people around. A fun, yet tricky edgeguard.
Tidbits:
+ She gets knocked backwards a bit, especially in the air. It could be useful, or completely screw you over.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090907_1944.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090907_1944.jpg)
New B-Air: That Ain't...Donkey Kong?
Side B: Reckless Charge
She readies herself, then charges forward...recklessly! Riding on a cloud of darkness, attacks won't even faze her as she readies her blade and slices you up.
Tidbits:
+ Can be done in the air.
+ Hold down B. Trust me.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090904_2141.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090904_2141.jpg)
Down B: Transform
Tidbits:
+ There's more lag at startup, but if you're using Echo Blade Sheik, there will be almost no ending lag.
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/th_al_090907_19481.jpg) (http://s171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/GinRoKen/Texture%20Hacks/?action=view¤t=al_090907_19481.jpg)
Up-B: Fayore's Wind
The startup has wind hitboxes [idea from IKOU].

Throws:
The D-Throw burns you.

How about for the neutral B you use the entrance animation where she prays and then puts her hands to her side and a gfx radiates from her. Have her do that, only when she puts her hands down, make a fire gfx appear around her, dealing little knockback, but it still has great growth. Deals 4% per hit, because its multiple hitboxes, there's a chance the character could be hit by the attack multiple times causing a lot of damage
That actually sounds pretty cool =D I've been meaning to use that animation.
Glad you think so, I thought consistency would be cool, as Echo Blade Sheik has a slightly similar attack
well first off for sheik, her side b needs to be an attack where she dissapears and jumps forward with a sword slash (use Kyzon's Link's side b and you will know what im saying)
but for zeldas up b, when she disapears add wind hitboxes, and when she reapears, have her make a sword slash
her upsmash could also have the uairs explosin on the last hit
keep dthrow the same, only set the angle to 10E, unless you want to make the dthrow her dsmash
the side b could be three hand strikes, the first 2 stunning and the last one giving knockback
also, go for the dual wield
@ IKOU
Demanding much? Although I do like the idea of wielding 2 swords

I actually don't mind, these are good ideas ^-^
- Unfortunately for Sheik, you can't map hitboxes to her Side-B. Believe me, I've tried. Maybe just a teleport then? =P
- I actually really like your Zelda Up-B idea =D Maybe I'll use it.
- I actually AM using the explosion effect, I was debating that for either U-Tilt or U-Smash.
- It doesn't seem like much of a D-Smash, but why set it to 10E? That spikes...wait... =P
- Where would I get hand strike animations?
- And yeah, I'll be trying the dual wield, but I gotta find good animations.
yeah, i realized it sounded more demanding less like ideas halfway through typing the post, i tried to reword it but i guess i failed. and i now realize that i missed a "need" in sheik's side b. so just so u know, i was throwing out ideas.
but for the hand strike animations you could use Attack100 and AttackS3S or AttackS3Hi without effects. the third strike could be one of her swing animations
Her neutral B could be like beam kirby. With her praying animation it could do a circle around her.
IKOU, you have some good ideas. =D

Now if I had a beam, that'd be nice =P

It's all time-consuming graphic-spamming, and you're good =P
i deff have exp with consuming time by doing things manually..
Cant wait to try out this zelda then. Echo Blade Sheik is beyond sexy
if you're looking for an idea for the sword's shape, maybe this might give you some inspiration?:
http://www.freewebs.com/halo2dictator2/energysword.jpg
The sword from halo was the first thing that came into my mind when I used Echo Blade Shiek. Although I know nothing about Halo myself.
hahahahahaha maybe XP
Hmm.. shouldn't Sheik be the one dual wielding instead? Sheik would be focusing on powerful close range attacks, and Zelda would be focusing on effective longer ranged attacks. So.. Zelda should have moves where she uses her powerful magic to extend her Echo Blade's length, should would have less hits since it's only one blade. Sheik, with her dual blades, would have more hits in her attacks.
Here's a neat idea, since it's called "Echo" Blade, if you were to picture echoes, it would be repeated sounds getting weaker and weaker.. so.. I think a single swing of the Echo Blade would have multiple hits in them but each hit getting weaker than the last one. Maybe make each swing 3 hits instead of just 1, if it seems too cheap, just make the "echoes" unable to flinch people.

@ 1st paragraph: Ahh, stop thinking about it! >.< You'll spoil the surprise...
@ 2nd paragraph: I like that idea ^-^ I think I'll start using it...
Wait a second from the sound of it it sounds like you are making a dual wielding echo blade shiek with each swing doing 3 hits each hit weaker then the last and having Echo Blade Zelda wield one sword that constantly changes size and power.
He probably isn't but that would be so sexy if he was

That WOULD be a really sick idea if I wasn't lazy and trying to conserve file size >.<
If I have any extra room when I'm done with everything for these two [and trust me, there's a LOT more than you think], I'll think about it. ^-^
Updated with pics. Still loads of little glitches to touch up.
looks epic.
Beta download up! Hope fully you can tell which moves need work =P
Ok nicce.. very very nice...
Hmm now things that need work... hmmm
the jab attack deff has a weird hitbox.
Side B goes off the side.. but maybe thats intended...
Hmmm She for sure competes with my Kyzon for most amazing Recovery in Brawl :P
not sure what down tilt does. but nothing much so far for me
Hmm thats about all i can say.. i'm having too much fun right now with her :P

Yeah, Side B is supposed to go off =P
Jab and D-Tilt aren't working: apparently someone didn't read the main post. XD
I want to make it that using Side-B in the air makes her freefall...it's really annoying =.=
>_> oh yea main post <_< lol
Hmm well Freefall i believe is somewhere in specials.. idk tho.. kyzon doesnt believe in freefall you'll notice if you've played as him lol..
but overall great characrer.. both Echo Blade gals are terrific

New throws?? Dude, your imagination needs some work XP
Those tilts have been there since Sheik; they just don't look quite as awesome. Sheik is way more graceful =)
Lol i knew they were there in sheik i had just forgotten about the zelda versions on them :P
lol idk what would be done for a zelda throw actually.. was just wondering :P lol
i think the teleport tilts are bad azz actually

Dun worry. The teleports are my current project, they're getting better =P
Moar teleports???

The teleports are done, oh you're gonna have a nice time trying to figure it all out. ;)
I be working on the B move right now, it's lookin pretty nifty so far :)
Ahhh very very nice.. Cant Wait to see what the final product looks like..
i'm pretty pumped for this
I've just gotta touch up the hitboxes, and finish up half of my B move. It might be out tonight, or maybe early tomorrow. All that's left after that is balancing. =)
You seem to be the only one actually excited about this =P
Well it isnt active as when you released Echo Blade Sheik.
and i get excited when epicness happens... and Echo Blade anyone is epicness
I wonder who else you'll make into an "Echo Blade _____"
Yeah, I still like what you've done so far, I can't wait for the release of the NB

Yay, another fan! ^-^
The Neutral B still needs some work...I'll probably release it tomorrow, since there's still some work to be done.
Honestly, the Echo Blades are probably going to be specific to Zelda and Sheik, only because the sword graphics are exclusive to them. Granted, I could make another character just like them and just use another graphic...I could probably even expand on that char farther, seeming he or she'd have no shared file size limit...
But it just wouldn't be an Echo Blade to me =)

Which 4?
i found out the forward and back teleports and the teleport in place with fire or w/out fire.
and the shield one two.. are there more?
is there any video for this yet. i want to download it, but i need i reason to download the beta tho... otherwise ill wait for a roughly completed version

Nope, no video yet. I'm missing roughly 2-3 moves from the final completion, so you really wouldn't be missing out on much =P
I think this'll be my last beta before the final release on the staff blog. I'll probably destroy the beta link and the moveset a week before that, just because =D
do u haz a capture card? ill make a vid of the final release of this girl. and how much longer do u estimate til the final release. (i gots school so i wont even have time for a few games of brawl, not until friday and weekend)
For her f-tilt, she teleports forward, and if you....:
Hold the button, she will slash with her sword
Do not hold the button she uses a fire attack
There are 3 variations of the same attack depending on which dierection you f-tilt, coming to a grand total of 6 attacks all in (sorta) one command

do u haz a capture card? ill make a vid of the final release of this girl. and how much longer do u estimate til the final release. (i gots school so i wont even have time for a few games of brawl, not until friday and weekend)
I honestly don't know...before the end of September? =P
I'm starting school too, so my time will be limited. Thanks for the offer though, I'll gladly accept it. ^-^
I've decided to hide the download and the moveset after one more day, so hopefully when I release the 'Final' version, it'll be a bit more of a surprise =P
I plan to revamp a number more moves than I expected, but you guys can still play around with the beta til I find time to finish it, which could easily take a month or so, due to new school pressure. So enjoy the beta you guys, and wait for my Zelda's return! ^-^

.Fade, when is the final gonna be released? and is it Echo Blade Shiek 1.4 that will allow both zelda/shiek pacs to work?

I'm tweaking it now, should be done eventually. It doesn't help that I can't really work on the weekdays.
Yeah, v1.4 is the smallest complete version currently out. It SHOULD work with all Zelda PSAs, unless that Zelda is abnormally HUGE. Like, 350 KB is huge.
Double post =P
Echo Blade Zelda's official v1.0 release is scheduled to appear on KC:MM's front page on Wednesday!
Get hype.
FINALLYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! :af:
I have been waiting SOOOOO long for the final version to come out (missed the v0.6 DL). It looks awsome and I know it WILL be awsome!
YAY, UPDATES :af:
I hope that Bn is at least in a beta, I've been waiting forever for to test that idea out =D

It's okay. D-Tilt is a filler move, pretty much. Thanks dude, you'll see their links on the main page soon enough!
your are talking about the 3 imperial regalia of japan the Kusanagi no Tsurugi, Yata no Kagami, and the Yasakani no Magatama in english the Kusanagi Sword the Yata Mirror and the Yasakani Jewel ßßthe sword is valor the mirror is wisdom and the jewel is benevolence.
totally off topic i just felt like saying that.
Ah, the mirror, that was it! Thanks dude.
By the way, the moveset is up now. ^-^

And no, I'm not better than Phantom Wings. I'm sure if he actually put effort into making a PSA, it would blow our minds just the same. Of course, he's busy with other stuff, and I definitely ain't interrupting him. XD

Another awesome vid by sness =)

Dunno, maybe this weekend. Gotta make sure it works with those other Sheik PSAs =D
Btw, I still need feedback about Zelda: which moves should be nerfed and which strengthened. Right now, D-Tilt seems to be the most useless move...any ideas for a new move?
I actually preferred Zelda's regular Down Tilt cause it was so evil. xD But... Hm... I'm not so sure at the moment. Anyway I've been playing around as Echo Blade Zelda and I noticed a few things.
Her USmash can't seem to hit characters who are shorter than her if they aren't on the side where the last hit is and they just escape it. Maybe you could give it a stronger pulling effect? If that's too overpowered then ignore me. xD
For some reason her new DSmash doesn't seem as strong as her original one. It's rather minor to me so it's not a problem but I'm just sayin'.
Her Dash Attack goes REALLY far and most of the time for no reason. It hits the target a few times and then zooms past them. Perhaps that is what you were going for? Hit and run? If so then I understand and also ignore this.
After using her Neutral Special and then doing a Bair... What does that even do? xD I haven't even been able to successfully hit someone with it yet. Not even a training dummy. That's pretty much it for me. Otherwise Zelda seems pretty okay to me.

@Fade: I like the changes you made with Echo Blade Zelda. It was better than your previous release of it, which didnt make me too interested in using it. But now i'm pretty sure i'll want to keep it. I havent tested it out too much yet either. There's just too much work I need to get done =/

i used the Sigma Boss Battle music from MMX1. i was playing it the other day... its a good song to pump you up for a fight
man I remember Sigma, or kind of do. back when I was playing megaman on the gameboy color lolz. I used to love megaman. But I think one of my favorite games of all time for that system was Zelda: Season&Ages + Pokemon Gold/Silver =]
I'll look up that song and try it later, i've got so much textbook chapters to read =/

did u kno that zelda ages/seasons was ranked best zelda game? id hafta agree to. its old skool zelda, mixed with 2d parts, bunch of weapons, the ability to JUMP, animal friends, etc...
really? I had no idea. the only zelda games i've ever played were seasons&ages, plus the game that came before that one. then I tried Twilight Princess when it came out, and I didnt really like how they changed the game. I looked through DS versions of the game before, but it looks like they changed it too much. Twilight Princess was overall just confusing to get used to (to me of course). I'll have to try and finish Twilight Princess some day though.. I'm still somewhere in the beginning of that game lolz.
And about that "Megaman X1 - Sigma 1st" brstm, I cant seem to find it =x Do you by any chance remember who posted it?
Also, I saw some image changes with Zelda when you switched through colors. Does that work for the Brawl+ code set? It all seems pretty confusing to me to understand =/

1) twilight princess blew mah mind. but honestly, i could only play thru it once or so, then half way thru it again i get bored. the ds ones... i really dont like as much. theyre TOO innovative, u kno? its cool to use the touch pad once in a while, you hafta use it for everything.
2) i make my own brstm files. ifya want, i can send you the sigma music + a lot of other music from different games too.
3) when u say image change, do u mean the custom character screen portraits. i guess it works for brawl+. i dunno how brawl+ works. to my knowledge, theres a program that installs brawl+ for you by installing a code and putting pac files all over the place. dont take mah word for it tho...
that would be great, i'd like to see what other brstm's you use as well. but the sigma one is the one i'd like to try out the most. i remember how frustrating it was to get through megaman games on the gameboy color lolz
I never knew how to add codes to the current code you have, so I probably wont mess with that. I remember when I was trying to find out how to add the music code for Brawl+ to get brstm's to work in Brawl+, but I could never find out. Then I read that their newest nightly build release was able to play brstm's, so I kind of changed to that one and never bothered to find out how adding codes work.
But yeah, the character portraits was what I meant.

yeah I saw your post just earlier today when I was searching for the megaman song, except the downloads werent there, except for a dragon ball one.
I seem to be having a problem with the moveset. I put it in Zelda's folder and named it FitZelda.pac, but her moveset is still the same. I can't figure out what went wrong. Does anyone have any ideas?

on your SD card, did you make sure that the file has the file extension ".pac"? Because sometimes, usually on Windows XP, some of the .pac files didnt have the extension at the ending after extracting the files.

I think that may be it. but it doesn't reqally make sense I'm using the Echo Blade Sheik. Is there a different version of Sheik's PSA that will let me use Zelda's or vice-versa?

Here, these two WILL work together...at least on MY Wii. Rename them FitSheik.pac and FitZelda.pac apropriately, and put them in the right folders. Until I find time to shrink Zelda, these'll do.
Thanks! They work perfectly now!
why am i in a lot of quotes? my quote had nothing to do with zelda or shiek.

Dash U-Smash works wonders, trust me. ^-^ One of my bread-and-butter combos: D-Throw, dash, U-Smash. Quick damage.
QuoteFor some reason her new DSmash doesn't seem as strong as her original one. It's rather minor to me so it's not a problem but I'm just sayin'.
I purposely made it like that, because it has three hitboxes and has pretty good range. I spam it anyway, and the knockback does get a lot stronger at higher percents.
QuoteHer Dash Attack goes REALLY far and most of the time for no reason. It hits the target a few times and then zooms past them. Perhaps that is what you were going for? Hit and run? If so then I understand and also ignore this.
Weird, every time I use this it seems to combo into itself, and then leave the opponent ready to combo. Maybe I should start playing some real people, to see if it can be DIed out of.

I do plan to revamp the 'Sacred' moves, b/c at the moment they're all pretty useless.
Plans:
- I'll probably map the B-Air to N-Air, and by tapping A you can hover or drag your opponent along with you. - F-Air will be put on B-Air, and it'll hit behind her [BThrow Aanimation]. Makes it a little less awkward.
- N-Air will be mapped to F-Air: I'll probably give it a little more knockback and make her move forward, so this move can actually be used. =P
Does that sound okay?

.Fade, whats ur new project?
Right now I'm working on Blanka DK, and I'll clean up Zelda while I'm at it...maybe I'll even give Sheik a new move ^-^
I might also make a second Sheik thanks to Alma's 'Clone Engine', if DK turns out well. I wanna base it off a combo of Cammy/Chun-Li/Juri. That should be pretty fun.
But yeah. My real goal, Project Phantom? Until I have a reasonable amount of free time on my hands, it's still only in my mind, ruminating an such.
That's my portfolio as of now ^-^
I actually made a forum account just to post on this thread. EchoBlade Zelda is by far the best PSA of Zelda I've seen so far. She's original, cool, and almost fully balanced. I'm going to start playing around and taking notes on what could be adjusted for V2, since I'd love to see a perfect version of EchoBlade.
-Her side-B making her invulnerable is actually very overpowered, and is probably the main reason why I'm reluctant to use her against other people.
Ideas:
+Simply take out the invulnerability. The attack itself is so versatile that she probably won't end up being knocked away anyway.
+Make the Reckless Charge a Sacred Light charged ability, making it so that it can't be used over and over in succession. You can give her a Din's Fire-esque attack while not charged...I miss Din's Fire...
+Make Reckless Charge an attack like Ike's Quick Draw side+B, although that'd take away from the originality that defines EchoBlade.
Edit#1:
-Her F-smash is really cool, but I think that it's a bit too strong to it's good speed. I was playing a few matching and found how easy it was to link this to a dash attack and K.O. at about 70% or so.
Ideas:
+Cut the speed and keep the power the same.
+Cut the power a bit and keep the speed the same.
I'll update anything else I see on this thread.
