Version 2.0 has been released! I redid the entire changelog, as the character has gone through A LOT of changes. Check the first post!

You could try looking at attacks that act as grabs, like G-Dorf's Side-B. I dunno, I don't realy know how it all works since I can't actually use PSA.

But anyway, this is my favorite moveset so far, most everything else is just 'elemental' this or 'uber-powered' that.

That was actually the first thing I looked at. :P But with all of the unknown event IDs/parameters and such, it makes things difficult. I could get him to change animation no problem, but the throw collisions would never 'catch' the opponent. Still looking into it...

And I appreciate the praise. :) Hopefully, he'll only get better... xD

my favorite moveset hack out of everyone ive tried on this site.... could you possibly help me figure out how to change the animations liek u did with ur UPsmash and attack 12???? i want to make movesets like this in the future. since ive gotten ragna it became my main :D

Thank you. :D

Changing attacks into new ones requires A LOT of trial and error(for the hitboxes mostly). For now,  if you're looking into changing animations, its as simple as putting the name of the animation you want in place of the animation name you are replacing. If you wanto know more,  just ask.

So I finally came around testing it.

Jab is interesting, the turnaround part kinda confused me but there's a system behind when he turns around and when not, right?

I like the concept of SideB, are you going to add more hits to it? And I think changing the required button press to B would be more convient, but that's your decission.

I'm looking forward what you'll be able to do with this in the future

Thanks for testing. :)

Jab is quite interesting lol. Yes there is an element of timing associated with it. Delaying your button presses will result in Ragna turning around. This was on purpose, and it adds to his uniqueness and his mixups/mindgaming ability. I do admit it DOES take getting used to, but its fun.

Current plans for Side be are to add an aerial portion to it. This has yet to be decided...unless someone knows how to create an aerial grab(this has been giving me trouble...). And yes, B would be more convenient, but I chose "A" so that you have to commit to your followup if you choose to do so.

Currently my issues are finding out how to do an aerial grab...and this post I made in the help section awhile back: http://kittycorp.freecp.net/index.php?topic=1242.0. This has been the most difficult and I've been hoping to figure it out...but no luck so far.

Thanks again for the critiques and I'll try and keep working on it when I can. Though the aforementioned roadblocks are halting progress somewhat... :/

Awesome!!! but the links are broken

Thanks for pointing that out. That's what I get for copy/pasting and not rechecking everything >.>

Fixed.

Great work on this moveset. Haven't gotten around testing it but I've seen a vid of an earlier build and I must say that UpSmash really inspired to do something similar for my series' Ike.

SideB sounds interesting, I'll post my feedback once I've tested it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be looking forward to here what you and others have to say. :)

pressed, a followup attack is performed using Ike's Uair Animation, coupled with a momentum shift in the opposite direction.

Enjoy!
