Implement a KM/H number that goes from 800 to 1,032. It starts at 800 and rises over time. It falls when Captain Falcon takes damage, based on the amount of damage he takes. The higher the number, the faster Captain Falcon's movement speed is.

Captain Falcon's running speed starts at 2.0 when the meter is at 800 KM/H, and it maxes out at 2.58 when the number is at 1,032 KM/H.

Change his Side B to Boost, which has him dash forward with electricity surrounding him, it gives him Impact Run and Captain Falcon is completely controllable while using it, though he has less grounded traction. When using Boost, the KM/H number rises to 1,320 KM/H, which correlates to a running speed of 3.3, and then it slowly falls to 1,032 when the Boost wears off. There is a Boost meter that raises over time or when Captain Falcon does damage and the meter determines how long Boost lasts, using Boost depletes it entirely.

Based on Smash 4 Ganondorf.

Black Shadow's moves have high start-up and end-lag and his grounded traction is low.

Implement Captain Falcon's KM/H number and change his Side B to Boost.

Black Shadow's KM/H number goes from 750 to 1,128, which correlates to a running speed of 1.875 to 2.82. Black Shadow's KM/H number rises slower than Captain Falcon's.

Boost increases Black Shadow's KM/H to 1,540, which correlates to a running speed of 3.85.

Urbosa would be pretty big overall, one of the lower heavyweights. Speed-wise, she’d be a little slower than Link, with more air mobility and jump height.

Gimmick: Urbosa will use the Weapon mechanic from Breath of the Wild. Weapons will break after a number of successful attacks (as well as any attacks that hit the ground), and recharge after a reasonable amount of time (anywhere between 7 and 20 seconds, most likely. Maybe they each recharge to different times). A meter by Urbosa’s Percent counter will show the remaining durability of each weapon.

• Scimitar of the Seven and Daybreaker- her default weapons, they basically act in a similar way to Link and his sword and shield, protecting Urbosa from projectiles while she walks or stands still.
• Gerudo Claymore- Increases Urbosa’s weight and attack Power, reduces movement and attack speed, and makes her fall a bit faster
• Gerudo Spear- Increases Urbosa’s attack and movement speed and adds a tipper effect to strikes that does bonus electric damage and hitstun. In exchange, she is easier to launch and does middling damage without tippers, and it’s overall easier to break her bubble shield.
• Unequipped- the state she’s in after a weapon breaks, or she willingly unequips everything. She’s fastest in this stance, but also noticeably lighter, and her bubble shield is weakest here. She only has simple punches or kicks to throw in place of an attack, and while they are fast they don’t do much damage, and none of them can actually KO an opponent until they’re in the upper 200s. In addition, she cannot use her Up-B without first equipping a weapon.

Smash Attacks: Each Smash attack uses a different weapon and will switch Urbosa to that stance, provided the weapon has durability left.

• Forward- A Link-like forward swing with the Scimitar of the Seven. At half charge or more, releases a short pulse of electricity.
• Down- Swings the Gerudo Claymore around while charging-Reminiscent of the heavy weapon charged attack in Breath of the Wild- and then slams down with an earthquake. At half charge or more, this also releases a mid-sized dome of electricity. Will do damage while charging, but opponents at high damage will likely be knocked out of range of the slam.
• Up- Jabs the Gerudo Spear directly into the air. At half charge or more, calls down a lightning bolt, not unlike Pikachu’s Thunder attack.
• Unequipped: If the designated weapon is broken, or she’s purposely not weilding a weapon, Urbosa’s Up and Forward smashes are replaced with charged electric punches, and for her down smash, she creates shockwaves (literally) by stomping on the ground. The electricity here will function similarly to Zero Suit Samus’s blaster. With their low endlag Urbosa can quickly follow up to take advantage of the opponent’s stun.

Aerials: Much like the smash attacks, Each one will use a different weapon and automatically switch her to the designated stance, unless, of course, that weapon is broken.

• Neutral- A Mewtwo-like burst of close-range electric jolts.
• Up- Jabs with the spear.
• Forward- Slashes from top-to-bottom with the Scimitar
• Back- Smacks the opponent with Daybreaker, much like Palutena
• Down- Somersaults forward and drops sword-first, much like the Heavy Weapon aerial attack in Breath of the Wild

Grabs: Urbosa puts the opponent in a chokehold, and pummels by zapping them. As before, Switches stances upon throwing.

• Up-Throw: Throws the opponent above her head and jabs upward with the Gerudo Spear
• Down-Throw: Chokeslams the opponent and then Stabs into them with the Claymore
• Forward Throw- Backhands the opponent with Daybreaker
• Back Throw- Suplexes the opponent while calling down a lightning strike

Specials

• Neutral- Equip: The Weapon Quick Select menu pops up above Urbosa’s head, allowing her to switch her weapon by pressing left or right. She can also Unequip everything by pressing up
• Side- Urbosa throws her weapon, choosing an angle while holding the B button. Pressing Side-B again uses Magnesis (all of the champions had their own Shiekah Slates) to call it back. The weapon has a hitbox on both the initial throw and the recovery. In the air, her weapon can stick into the side of a stage and Magnesis will bring her to the weapon like a tether recovery. She will then jump off of it, renewing her double jump as well. Once she lands onstage or grabs the ledge from the jump, the weapon will Magnesis to her waiting hand. If she throws her weapon into the blast zone, she has to wait five seconds before she can switch to it. She does not go into free fall, and she can switch to another weapon after throwing, but Magnesis will only pull the most recently thrown weapon back.
  • If she’s in Scimitar Stance, she throws Daybreaker. It does the least damage and flies about mid-distance before it starts to fall. Tethering to it from offstage, Urbosa will walljump.
  • In Claymore Stance, she throws hard, but not as far as Daybreaker goes. Tethering to it will give her a small vertical boost as she jumps off of it
  • In Spear Stance, she throws the farthest, but does not do as much damage as Claymore. When she tethers to it offstage, she gains a huge upward boost as she jumps up as if from a pool springboard.
• Up- Urbosa will cheat a little, putting one weapon on top of Daybreaker, then using Magnesis to float directly upward.
• Down- Urbosa’s Fury, because that has to be somewhere. Urbosa charges while the B button is held, raising her hand as an indication of charge level, then snaps her finger when the button is released, or immediately at full charge. Tapping B creates a close-range pulse of electricity not unlike Sephiroth’s Neutral Aerial. About half charge calls down bolts of lightning about one stride before and behind her, and a full charge calls up a powerful dome of lightning that does huge damage and knockback. Charging can be canceled, as usual, but the charge cannot be stored

A- Attacks:

• Scimitar Stance is more or less an echo of Link, except where noted.
  • F-Tilt- shield bash with Daybreaker. The first 5 frames of the attack treat it as a reflector.
  • Dash Attack slashes horizontally in front instead of high-to-low.
• Spear Stance
  • Jab- single thrust forward
  • F-Tilt- Urbosa will thrust forward 5 times, reminiscent of the charged polearm attacks from Breath of the wild. The first four do flinching damage, and the fifth knocks the opponent away.
  • Up-Tilt- Urbosa backflips in place, slashing upward with the spear in a wide arc.
  • Down Tilt- a low sweep forward along the ground.
• Claymore Stance
  • Jab- a slow, but powerful straight lunge
  • F-Tilt- Urbosa steps forward and swings the Claymore up in front of her.
  • Up-Tilt- Urbosa stabs directly upward.
  • Down Tilt- an upward swipe starting low to the ground.
• Unequipped Stance
  • Jab- straight punch forward, a one-two followed by a right hook
  • F-Tilt a straight kick
  • Up- Tilt- a small hop into a backflip, kicking out with both legs. Can hit twice.
  • Down-Tilt: Leg Sweep. Might trip opponents.

Final Smash: Divine Beast Vah Naboris Urbosa snaps her finger and calls down Urbosa’s Fury. Every fighter in a wide area around her is struck by electricity, and a cinematic plays

Gerudo warriors leap in and strike the caught foes several times, building up damage. Urbosa shows up riding Vah Naboris, who charges up an ancient laser and zaps the caught fighters.

Any fighter over 100% is instantly KO’d

Specials

• Neutral: Minigun. It shoots out a ton of bullets that spread out a little as they travel further from Heavy. It also has a bit of charge-up and cool-down. Heavy can move around while using it, similar to Banjo's gunner mode, but Heavy is slower while shooting and has Super Armor. The bullets travel quite a far distance, but they have minor knockback and damage scaling based on how far they travel. Heavy can angle the Minigun up or down slowly.
• Side: Shotgun. It should have a wide spread and high damage. At distance, doing very little (minigun is better for range), but at close range, doing a lot of damage, shield damage, and knockback. Heavy can angle the Shotgun up or down.
• Up: Heavy pulls out a Pumpkin Bomb and shoots it with his shotgun, launching him in an arc in the opposite direction a long distance at high speed. Heavy can angle the shotgun relative to the Pumpkin Bomb to change the angle of his arc. Heavy's body flying through the air does not have a hitbox, though he does not go into Special Fall and can act around 2/3rds of the way through the air. The Pumpkin Bomb explosion does 15% damage to the opponent, 7.5% recoil damage to Heavy.
• Down: Sandvich. Pressing Down B brings up a sub-menu where Heavy can choose between the Sandvich on the left, the Buffalo Steak Sandvich down, the Dalokohs Bar on the right, or cancel out of the sub-menu by hitting up. Select a Sandvich with B to have Heavy eat it, which takes 3 seconds. Press A instead of B on the sub-menu to throw the selected Sandvich, which lands on the ground and can be eaten with A like a Food Item. If Heavy is hit by a weak attack while eating, he's interrupted and the Sandvich meter is reset. If he's launched by a strong attack, he drops the Sandvich on the ground.
  • The Sandvich heals Heavy by 30%, 10% per second eating the Sandvich. If Heavy throws it with A, it heals 20% when eaten. If Heavy drops it from an attack, it heals 10% when eaten. Heavy can eat the Sandvich endlessly if he is undamaged.
  • The Buffalo Steak Sandvich boosts Heavy's running speed to 2.08 and his A moves do 1.3x more damage for 9 seconds. If Heavy throws it with A, the player eating it gets 1.2x faster and their A moves do 1.2x more damage for 6 seconds. If Heavy drops it from an attack, the player eating it gets 1.1x faster and their A moves do 1.1x more damage for 3 seconds.
  • The Dalokohs Bar heals Heavy by 15%, 5% per second and raises Heavy's weight by 9 points for 9 seconds. If Heavy throws it with A, it heals 10% and raises weight by 6 points for 6 seconds. If Heavy drops it from an attack, it heals 5% and raises weight by 3 points for 3 seconds.

Final Smash: Ubercharge

• Medic shows up and uses Ubercharge on Heavy. Heavy shoots his minigun while invincible and it does a ton of damage and knockback. Heavy can angle the minigun up or down.

Nightshade

The self-proclaimed Black Shadow of the Darkness. Nightshade is a Phantom Thief Flower Knight of dubious talent, having the skills of thievery and deception, but marred by back luck and unfortunate circumstances. Nightshade is a Fragile Speedster fighter with a floaty air game that weaponizes playing cards for long ranged attacks. Said cards have their own power, on top of being largely RNG on what you get. Essentially gambling.

EDIT LONG AFTER THE FACT: Here's a work page of where she originates from.

Gameplay Data

• Attributes:
  • Speed
    • Dash: Speed slightly lower than Joker, with the initial dash being worse.
    • Walk: Tied with Snake
    • Air: Tied with Peach
    • Fall: Tied with Isabelle
  • Weight: Tied with Sheik
  • Frame data notes:

Movement Abilities: She can Crawl, she's a Phantom Thief after all.

• Special properties: Playing Cards
  Certain moves use playing cards, with certain cards having different traits on top of varying power. On Nightshades percentage icon, below the Damage Percent is a poker hand displaying the cards that'll be used for the next card attack, with the left-most card taking priority. Next to that is a deck of cards with a number (at max 52 cards) that shows how many cards are yet to be drawn into the hand. The cards drawn is pretty much random, but never reusing the exact same type card. For example, if all the ace cards of each suit (Clubs, Diamond, Hearts and Spades, four in total) get used up, no more aces will be drawn unless the deck counter resets, either by reaching zero or reshuffling.
  • Card Types: Certain cards have different stats and effects. The effects are at its strongest/functional with card throws moves that are categorized as "strong".
    • 2-10: This is pretty straightforward. Lowest number has the worse stats, Highest have the better stats.
    • Aces: The weakest damaging card that cannot launch at all, only flinch. Is capable of dealing strong shield damage and can negate strong attacks and projectiles.
    • Jack: Decent damage, odd angles, including backwards.
    • Queen: Great damage, knockback sends foes into a semi-spike.
    • King: Heavy damage and knockback, can spike opponents with the strong card throws.
    • Joker: The literal Wild Card of the group that is incredibly rare (it disobeys the 52-card deck rule by appearing at any point a card gets pulled, not counting towards the deck counter) and has the most unrestrained effects of any card, the effects being multiple possible statuses, afflictions, and the like on top of a variety of damage and knockback (possible effects include pitfall, deku seed, and likely more). The only consistent downside is the effects only trigger if the card makes contact with the opponent, meaning one could spot-dodge the card to avoid it. Alternatively, one could shield the card, which works for the most part (except when RNG decides to break your shield).

Move list:

• Neutral
  • Jab:
    1. A knife-hand strike
    2. Knee kick
    3. A horizontal card throw. The card at point-blank is decently strong and can launch, while any further distance just does okay. the arm swing acts as a sour spot.
  • Dash Attack: Two variations, a normal and slide version: The normal variation has Nightshade trip and fall with a lot of start lag and her whole upper body being a hit box that deals heavy damage. The slide version, inputted by holding down as the attack activates, has Nightshade perform a narrowly-slipped-past-a-closing-security-door slide kick that's weaker but quicker than the normal variation.
  • Get-Up Attacks:
    • Front/Back: Does a (roughly executed) breakdance kick from back to front.
    • Trip: Does a non-standard card slice behind herself and a forward kick to the front.
  • Ledge Attack: Sweep kick

• Throws
  • Grab: Two handed grab with below average range.
  • Pummel: Steps into the foes leg.
  • Forward: Elbow Shove.
  • Back: Forces the foe backwards and throws a strong card point-blank.
  • Up:Propel the foe upward with a kick, followed up with a card throw.
  • Down: Force the opponent to the ground, bouncing them into the air.

• Tilts
  • Forward: Overhead swing to throw the card forward.
  • Up: Backflip. Her heels are the sweet spot while the rest of her legs acts as a sour spot.
  • Down: Sweep kick that pops foes into the air.

• Smashes
  • Forward: The one attack that references her normal attack in her home game. Charges up with a sudden hop with the playing cards held overhead (meaning Nightshade will remain suspended in the air for as long as the Smash attack is charged). Unleashing the attack has Nightshade throw out a hand of playing cards (five cards in Poker) that share the same hit box. The cards individual strength add to the overall power of the Smash attack, but the strength is multiplied by type of hand and cards used, with the strength multiplier being larger with the better hand. Basically a miniature game of Poker, and with all the possible hand combinations in Poker, this is way more complicated than it needs to be.
  • Down: A break-dance kick like her get-up attack, only she loses her balance by the end to land on her back for a lot of end-lag.
  • Up: Chucks a card straight up that can travel farther based on the charge.

• Aerials
  • Neutral: Several kicks forward, kind of like Snake's Neutral Air, though it doesn't cover much area in comparison.
  • Forward: Throws several cards forward in a weak spread.
  • Back: Throws a single card behind with an added spin.
  • Up: Bicycle kick.
  • Down: Several kicks downward, much like Snake's Down Air.

• Specials
  • Neutral: Card Throw
    Throws a card forward that can be angled 30 degrees up and down by holding down the button. Nightshade can walk forward at her standard speed and walk back at a slower pace while the button is held down, but throwing a card locks her in place. Has several variations:
    • Simply tapping the button throws a quick but weak card.
    • Holding down the button for several seconds with a steady angle (don't alter the desired angle or move from the spot) will have Nightshade ready a strong card throw, of which she'll release once the button is let go.
    • Mashing the button has Nightshade perform a thumb-flicking rapid card throw technique, which can act as a makeshift rapid jab. It starts out good, throwing cards in the desired direction while racking up decent damage, but weakens after a while with damage slowly decreasing and the cards start faltering in range and trajectory.
  • Side: Phantom Glide
    Taken from a portion of her home game running animation, Nightshade will leap up a short distance to defy gravity while airborne. Her outstretched foot while "gliding" becomes a brief weak hitbox for the start-up of the special. The glide is momentum-based, as using this special out of a dash will have her glide with the same speed.
  • Up: Dramatic Escape:
    Nightshade activates a smoke bomb to obscure herself in a cloud, then proceeds to rush faster than the eye can see to another smoke bomb cloud a farther distance. While functionally acting like a long ranged teleporter, Nightshade is still vulnerable as while transitioning between smoke bombs, she has an 80% chance to avoid any and all attacks. Said percentage changes based on damage percent; 50% evasion at 100% damage and onward.
  • Down: Sleeve Trick
    Saves a card on hand to potentially use for later. Risky, as she has a small chance to drop said card upon getting hit which can be picked up and thrown, complete with the cards strength and effects (only when thrown, Z-dropping is standard item strength with no bonus effect).
  • Shield: Reshuffle
    Resets the deck of cards and by extension the hand.

• Final Smash: Darkness Fleur
  A cinematic Final Smash that starts with Nightshade summoning a giant calling card to crush their foes. The whole scene then plays out in a comic strip style, starting with Nightshade sneaking into an absent museum with tight-nit security measures, then quickly planting a timed bomb set to blow within the walls. Upon reaching the treasure room, she finds the grand prize: The miniature trophies of the foes. Upon bagging the prize (and other various gems and treasures) she accidentally set of the alarm system, to which she quickly reacts by booking it. After dodging various traps and security doors, she makes it to the copter-ladder waiting for her by the rooftop, heartily laughing at her victory as she flies away ...until she realizes that her loot bag had sprung a leak, leaving the stolen treasure, including the trophies, laying on top of the museum roof. The timed bomb hits zero and destroys the museum in a massive explosion. The cinematic then ends with the foes sustaining big damage from the explosion as they're launched away, and Nightshade returns to the battlefield from the ladder. This whole scenario is essentially Nightshade's skill attack on a much more grandiose scale.

Character Details

• Character Series Icon: Nazuna Emblem◊

• Stage: Lotus Lake
  • Description: A city once isolated from the outer world after the Kaiju pests started running rampant, only opening up recently after circumstances changing. The stage is fought on giant Nelumbo Lotus leaves. Just like the backdrop for the Lotus Lake surface battles in the original game.
  • Special Features: On occasion, an Aqua Shadow of one of the fighter on stage will spawn from a puddle to fight. Aqua Shadows are much stronger than the fighters they're based on.

• Stage Entrance: Flies in via ladder attached to an unseen helicopter. Nightshade then prepares herself for the battle as they hop off the ladder.

• Taunts:
  • Up: Suddenly lets out a hearty laugh with a dramatic pose, before realizing she dropped a card doing so. This actually costs a card.
  • Side: Flashes her calling card forward while saying something about "fearing her" in a dramatic, roundabout way.
  • Down: Performs a more extravagant card-shuffling while singing the first half of her theme (holding down the taunt button plays the full verse): "夜に開きし～黒い影～♪" This will count as a Reshuffle, though the animation is longer than that move.

• Victory screen: (Bolded text for when the dramatic framing occurs)
  1. Nightshade quietly chuckles to herself before letting out a hearty laugh along with flashing her calling card towards the camera. Based off her 'Cheer' animation.
  2. Nightshade spins in place before posing extravagantly ...only she's facing the wrong way the moment she does so. Afterwards, she realizes her mistake and corrects herself a little too late.
  3. Camera starts on Nightshade's top hat and persona mask, discarded on the floor, before panning to Nightshade herself while she builds a card pyramid (based on an animation exclusive to the Garden feature). Nightshade ends up caught off-guard by the camera and end up collapsing her pyramid of cards. Afterward she just stares at the pile with a cartoonish-ly disappointed glance.

• Classic Mode: Beware the Black Shadow - Act out Nightshade's role as the (ineffective) Phantom Thief, attempting to steal precious artifacts and riches certain individuals may have. Though normally you'd steal under their noses and not out in the open... So Much for Stealth!

That looks safe to me, but who knows what they'll do.

Considering they don't actually give actual notice before they blank a comment or delete a thread or crowner,(which could easily be done by writing a comment to put the post on our watchlist, and giving a bit of time), I'm going to take a precautionary measure and copy all my posts to my computer itself (which I should've done a while ago).

If my opinion of the moderation here sounds low, it's because they've given tons of reason in my and my friends' experience alone (a dozen popular thread crowners, and a thread that was made specifically for friends to talk about anything of interest not including piracy, comments made in defense of myself to someone else's personal insults (which contained an extensive on-topic section to end the personal attacks and bring us back to the topic at hand), all deleted.

...shit, who's to say they won't get defensive and delete this comment for disagreeing with them. Hopefully just this comment, and not the full thread.

It looks good to me! I like the idea of the taunt costing resources.

• Entrance: Rhubarb is dropped onto the stage with a trail of bubbles.
• Idle Animation: Rhubarb looks around suspiciously.
• Victory Poses:
  • Rhubarb falls asleep

• Special Moves:
  • Neutral Special: Guppy, Go Away: Basically a projectile move. If you press B once, a Guppy swims up to Rhubarb, Rhubarb snaps at it, and the Guppy jumps forward. If you hold B, you get an arrow to aim the Guppy. The Guppy disappears when it hits an opponent or any solid object.
  • Side Special: Shell Exchange: A line of shells identical to Rhubarb's current one appears in front of him. Rhubarb quickly climbs into each shell in the line, stopping at the last one. If you don't charge this move, there will only be one new shell, but if you charge it, you can get up to four new shells. Opponents are damaged if they touch Rhubarb while he's dashing between shells.
  • Up Special: It Works on Himself Too: Rhubarb pinches himself, causing him to rocket upward several feet. The pinch causes contact damage, but the upward bounce does not.
  • Down Special: Crustacean Dig: Rhubarb digs into the ground, kicking up sand even if he's not on a sandy terrain. Once underground, you can use left and right to move around, and B to quickly pop out to damage opponents. The tip of Rhubarb's shell pokes out of the ground so that the player can see where they are, but also so that the opponent can cancel the move by attacking him, preventing Rhubarb from being completely invulnerable with this move.
  • Final Smash: Gratuitous Guppies: Rhubarb moves to the bottom of the screen. A whole school of Guppies are swimming near the bottom of the screen. Rhubarb starts snapping his claws, and the Guppies start shooting upwards until they're off the screen, creating a Zerg Rush of upward projectiles that can cause a lot of damage to opponents. When all the Guppies are gone, Rhubarb returns to the stage.
• Taunts:
  • Rhubarb snaps his claws rapidly in a threatening manner.
  • Rhubarb retreats into his shell for a second.
  • Rhubarb eats an actual rhubarb plant.

• Codec
  • Snake: Otacon, what is this weird little creature?
  • Otacon: That's Rhubarb. He's a hermit crab, but you can be forgiven for calling him a creature. He never shows his face, as he's not very social.
  • Snake: Really? Then what's he doing in Smash Bros?
  • Otacon: Beats me. It says here that Rhubarb doesn't care what other people think about him. Still, for him to be here, he must be trying to prove himself at least a little.
  • Snake: So, the hermit is trying to get out more? Good for him.
• Palutena's Guidance
  • Pit: Lady Palutena, there's a strange crab here!
  • Palutena: This is Rhubarb, a hermit crab from the world of Insaniquarium.
  • Viridi: He's also the worst pet ever. It says so in his description from the original game!
  • Palutena: He's trying his best, Viridi.
  • Pit: I don't think he's that bad, but I still have to fight him. So, what do I do?
  • Palutena: Rhubarb's shell gives him excellent defense. You'll need to rack up a lot of damage before you can even think of sending him flying. Good luck, Pit!

Glover

The titular character of the game with the same name. Glover is the glove (no duh) of a wizard who ruled over a peaceful land who spends his time brewing potions, until one day a Freak Lab Accident ends with him turned to stone, the Crystal Balls atop the wizard tower that kept the world in peace now scattered, and Glover's brother now transformed into Cross-Stitch. Glover, now on his own, must use his magic to bring back the Crystal Balls and revive the wizard to restore peace.

Glover would be a very unique fighter whose gimmick revolves around their manipulation of the Ball for stage control and added movement. And that's not getting into the fact he would utilize his hand-like body to perform various hand gestures/attacks for practically all of his moves. Being the glove of a wizard, he's also capable of utilizing magic for disjointed attacks.

Gameplay Data

Attributes:

• Speed
  • Dash: Would be comparable to their original game. That is to say, they would have a rather slow dash comparable to Jigglypuff.
  • Walk: Better than Jigglypuff.
  • Air: Tied with Pikachu
  • Fall: Between Toon Link and Lucas.
• Weight: Tied with Pikachu.
• Frame data notes: Glovers hand gestures would typically be full-body encompassing hitboxes. So to compensate, they would generally be his stronger attacks while having the bad frame data.

Movement Abilities:

• Crawls in a same manner a hand would.

Special properties: Ball Game: Everything about the Ball effectively allows glover to control the battlefield, whether setting up combos, kill-confirms or just controlling neutral. The ball spawns automatically upon starting a match/respawning. In the event the Ball breaks or falls into the blast zone or left elsewhere, Glover would just be able to re-summon the Ball nearby by holding down the Down Special.

• Ball Types: Glover can transform the Ball into several different types with Down Special.
  • Rubber Ball: The most flexible (pun not intended) of all the balls, allowing Glover to launch it far and manipulate it with all the possible moves associated. Runs the risk of bursting from excessive damage; it can take a lot of blunt force but sharp attacks will harm it the most, with the ball damage showcased by the bandages covering it.
  • Bowling Ball: The heaviest and sluggish of them all. Hard to get going momentum-wise, but devastating to be hit by worse case scenario due to the large damage and knockback it can potentially inflict. Attempting to dribble with it doesn't get much results, but it can possibly inflict bury on foes dumb enough to get in the way.
  • Ball Bearing: Small and fast. Dense but light. Deceptively effective at launching foes, though doesn't do that much damage.
  • Crystal Ball: The riskiest of them all. Incredibly frail, but also deceptively fast. It will break from just a single dribble alone, but unlike the crystal in the original game, it will explode into a burst of magic to deal devastating damage to both foes and Glover themselves.
• Ball Moves:
  • Dribble: Tapping the attack button has Glover dribble the Ball, which can give them height and air movement.
  • Toss: Holding the attack button will put Glover into a floating state holding the Ball in a ready to toss state that will throw the ball in an upward arc. Can be angled. This state will keep Glover suspended in the air, but if they don't throw the ball in the limited amount of time, Glover will be forced into free-fall.
  • Balance: Either pressing up while holding the Ball or jumping on top of the Ball will have Glover perform a balancing act on the Ball. Aside from being an odd form of movement, Glover can perform two different moves for recovery.
    • Instant Ground Pound: Imputing Down Smash will have glover immediately perform the Ground Pound Down Air on the Ball, which can send the Ball downward at a faster speed. Rubber Ball is ideal, since Glover can bounce high as a result.
    • Jump Off: Simply jumps off the Ball. The height from the jump being dependent on the surface area of the Ball. For example, a Ball Bearing being too small leads to the worst jump off the Ball.

Move list:

Neutral

• Jab: Finger-gun hand motion that "shoots" a small magic blast forward.
• Dash Attack: A cartwheel with a full "body" hitbox.
• Get-up Attack: Sweeping hand motion on both sides before getting up.
• Ledge: Jumps up then slaps the ground in front of them.

Throws

• Grab: Traps the foe in a magic sphere
• Pummel: Dribbles the magic sphere to harm the foe inside
• Throws:
  • Forward: Flicks the sphere forward.
  • Back: Slaps the ball backward.
  • Up: Chucks the sphere upward and follows up with an uppercut.
  • Down: The foe stays trapped in the sphere and Glover then controls the sphere like a ball. Getting knocked out of the sphere by a strong enough attack will only launch the foe a fixed distance. They can mash out of it.

Tilts

• Forward: Backhanded Slap
• Up: Front-flip/Overhead Slap
• Down: Quick slap of the ground

Smashes

• Forward: Rock-Paper-Scissors; Charges forward a small fixed distance to perform any of the gestures based on if the control stick is tilted.
  • Rock: Activated by holding up. Has the most launch power.
  • Paper: Activated by holding neither up or down. The weakest in terms of power, but can win against most attacks unless they reach a certain damage threshold.
  • Scissors: Activated by holding down. The smallest hit-box limited to the two fingers. Does the most damage at the cost of launch power.
• Down: Slams their fist into the ground that gives off a magic shockwave.
• Up: Finger-snap with a burst of magic overhead.

Aerials

• Neutral: Full body spin.
• Forward: Karate Chop that can spike if sweet-spotted.
• Back: A quickdraw finger-gun with a magic burst.
• Up: Finger-snap with a burst of magic overhead, smaller in range.
• Down: Ground Pound in the form a fist slam, which Glover can rebound off of a foe and/or the Ball if it connects. Can spike at the start of the move.

Specials

• Neutral: Magic Slap: Glover does a quick magic infused slap that does no damage but sends whatever hit far, making it great for moving the ball regardless of weight. Can be charged to make whatever hit fly farther. Can double as a reflector, with the strength of said reflector dependant on the charge. Can be used while holding the Ball.
• Forward/Back: Rocket Punch:Glover charges forward with a powerful punch whose power is dependant on how long the special button is held, doubles as horizontal recovery.
• Up: Magical Uppercut: A strong sudden punch upward that acts as a powerful recovery move that launches foes upward.
• Down: Summon/Transformation Spell: Holding down the button will attempt to summon the ball via portal to Glover. Tapping the special button with a Ball spawned in will have Glover transform it into another type of ball in a set order (Rubber, Bowling Ball, Ball Bearing and Crystal), doing so while the Ball isn't spawned has Glover cast a spell in front of them that'll either make an opponent hit by it Grow or Shrink. Holding onto the Ball while inputting Down Special will also directly transform the ball, either by tapping to quickly transform in a set order or holding to choose the Ball Type.

Final Smash: Wizard Master

• Glover summons the Wizard in front of them, still in his statue form but with seven crystals orbiting him. The Wizard gets revived by said crystals while Glover returns to the wizard as his glove. The Wizard then summons a cauldron, and with telekinesis pulls the foes into the pot. The foes damage racks up quickly before they get launched upward by a geyser erupting from the cauldron. Afterwards the Wizard disappears in a puff of smoke while Glover re-appears in the Wizards place.
