Jack Black
In his unending quest for an octagon, Jack Black has come to Rivals!
The spritework is subpar and there are probably a few bugs that I missed, but I sure had a fun time making this.
I don’t have much of a way with words. here’s his moveset:
NSPECIAL: Sends Elmo forward. He deals little damage but stuns for quite some time. Elmo is indestructable but can be reflected.
FSPECIAL: Almost exactly the same as nspecial but Elmo appears a short distance behind Jack, allowing for mixups or something.
USPECIAL: Jack gives a little hop, effectively a third jump. Holding the button while Elmo is available will allow Jack to jump much higher and send Elmo plummeting to his death below.
DSPECIAL: Jack is frozen in place for a second and a half to generate a side for his meter.
Once eight sides have been acquired either by use of dspecial or landing attacks that deal 8% damage or more, taunt to harness octagonal energy. The next attack will be much stronger than any normal attack.
JAB/DTILT: A very short-ranged punch that looks pretty upon hit
FTILT/DATTACK/FAIR/BAIR: Fire a large, powerful octagon outwards.
UTILT/UAIR: See the above attack, but the octagon is launched upwards.
NAIR/DAIR: Jack spins in place, launching at an angle depending on which direction his stop sign is moving.
This was very fun to do for me, and I only hope that you’ll enjoy playing Jack however you do.
If you have any input on how the character could be improved or balanced, please feel free to comment with your suggestion!
