I am currently working on a custom moveset for Ike and I finally made a somewhat significant change so I figured show a preview.
Squall Leonhart:
An actual moveset that I'm attempting, based on Squall from Final Fantasy VIII. The Squall texture I'm using is by Dhragen. I'm not too close to a first release, but I felt like giving a preview anyway. Overall, Squall is going to be abit faster and more agile than Ike, but with less straight up power. Of course, he'll have a bunch of altered moves as well.
Preview Images:
Blazing Ike:
Blazing Ike is my practice character, a firey moveset for Ike. His sword is constantly flaming, an indicator of his new power. I plan to make him good but not too overpowered. Once I make some more changes I'll post up a download.
Jab Combo:
Ike's jab is not so much a jab anymore.
The first blow is a fairly powerful downwards slash. Then he does a low slash which pulls the enemy back towards him. Finally, he finishes with a powerful spinning slash that hits all around him. It can be hard to land all three hits on enemies with higher percentages because of the knockback of the first blow, but it is quite easy (and useful) at lower percentages. The first attack is pretty good as a single blow as well.
I'm going to work on Blazing Ike on and off. After realizing that Great aether is really similar to Lionheart, I'm going to try to make a Squall moveset.
