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...

The Neutral A combo won't do as much damage or knockback. Visual cues on the character will let you know when you've flubbed it up.

More details to be filled out soon!

It's been years since I played it. Good, old memories :)

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.

If a hitbox/hurtbox is attached to a bone, it will also scale alongside the bone.

Perfect, now I know how to set up the skeleton. :vyse:

Anywho, added some animations to the first post. Don't take them as frame data though, they're just for show!

I like this idea. Hopefully it turns out well.

Yeah same here

Is this project dead? :/

I hope not

This project is too amazing to let it die.

It's not. Although most likely going to be a Smash 4 project

Cool. Sounds pretty neat to see it in Smash 4.
