Jamiroquai

Jamiroquai, the Unmoving Traveller

Apologies to Jay Kay.

The character is named after the band that made the famous song and music video, Virtual Insanity.
The moveset for the character is inspired from that music video, found here:

Almost all animations and option names are taken from the song.

I’ve also sourced a small number of animations and audio from their song Canned Heat:

And also some audio from these AI memes:

—– Guide ——

— Basic Attacks —

No Sound – Default grab
Pray – Jab. It’s also a multihit.
A Wonder – A short-range overhead launcher.
Ties Of Earth – Ground only. Long-range and low hitbox that drags towards you.
New Technology – Aimable long-range hitbox that also drags.
No More – Aimable short-range hitbox that pushes away and down.
Nature’s Way – Aerial only. A spike directly beneath you, and a weak hitbox elsewhere.

— Additional Movement Options —

Canned Heat – Aerial option. Teleports you to the ground at a chosen distance in front or behind your current position, but is quite slow.

Magic Spell – The main way to get your mobility. You start everything on the stage moving (is Flippable). After you do, you can stop your furniture’s or everything’s movement at any time. Will also stop after any furniture reaches a wall or you are hit.
I’ll refer to this as “stage movement” from now on.

— Specials —

Live Underground – Summons a bird projectile. Semi-homing.

Immerse in Sin – Quick slide backwards, summoning a roach projectile. It hits both players and is immune to stage movement.

So Insane – Quickly moves the stage; the only way in which you can do so in the air. You either keep the opponent or furniture in place during the movement. Not flippable.

Furniture – This summons the most important part of Jamiroquai, some furniture. While falling, it’s a spike. Afterward, its hitbox is active only whilst moving and its hitbox can be refreshed by some of the below moves. You can have up to 5 at once.

Things are Big – All furniture begins to grow. Whilst growing, it has a passive hitbox. Also refreshes the movement hitbox.

Should be Small – Grown furniture shrinks. Again, it has a passive hitbox and refreshes the movement hitbox.

Crazy World – All furniture explodes, dealing a lot of damage. Use with caution though – it’s a short-term investment of your furniture.

— Supers —

Big Furniture – Level 1. Summons a larger sofa at a longer range.

Foolish Mind – Level 3. A long range guard break. Also refreshes furniture hitboxes.

Virtual Insanity – Level 9. Slides forward to initiate a cutscene. Instant kill.

There is now Mod Options support – you can use this to turn off most of the soundbytes.

I am very willing to take balancing advice, so please give me feedback of any kind!
