Vani La Ori
Vani La Ori makes the cut into Smack Studio! Using her giant gunscissors, she’ll be sure to trim down those in her path.
Vani La Ori is a swordie with specials tied to her limited bullet count of 2. Press B to reload once she has used up both of her bullets. Using Ultra will reload Vani’s bullet count and give her 2 extra one-time use bullets, so you can extend combo strings with Up-B and Side-B, or just open fire with Neutral-B. Parrying attacks will give Vani a free extra bullet. There is no cap on how many bullets Vani can obtain from parrying.
All of Vani’s Specials utilize bullets. Pressing B during any of these moves (except for Neutral Special) will give Vani an extra version of her Special moves. You can press B again and again as long as Vani has enough bullets. You can tell how many bullets she has based on her meter.
When using any of her throws, you can press B on the Startup animation before the opponent is thrown to deal a stronger variation of that throw at the cost of 1 bullet. These versions of her throws do have kill potential on platforms.
Jab: Vani has a standard 3-hit combo, but each subsequent combo move will send Vani backwards.
Side Tilt: Vani can kick off platforms with this move designed to send opponents away.
Down Tilt: Spikes aerial opponents, but punts upwards grounded opponnts.
Up Tilt: Combo starter that punts up opponents.
Up Air: Snip snip!
Forward Air: Snip snip!
Backward Air: BONK
Neutral Air: BONK
Down Air: Lonk Down Air but she bounces up if she hits an aerial opponent, and lands if she hits a grounded opponent.
Forward Smash: SNIP SNIP
Up Smash: SWONK MCBONK
Down Smash: Her strongest Smash Attack but also the one with the least range and reach.
Neutral Special: Pew pew. Press B when out of bullets to reload!
Side Special: Movement option. Pressing B once will make her shoot and use the momentum for another Side-B. Pressing B again during this second B will make Vani do a horizontal spinning attack.
Up Special: Vani swings her Gunscissors as two separate blades. Pressing B once will give her an extra Up-B. Pressing B again will make Vani gain another Up-B, but she will spin endlessly until she lands. All Up-B moves put Vani into pratfall, unable to do any other inputs until she lands.
Down Special: Same as Side-B, but diagonally and with more spinning.
Ultra: Vani’s Ultra fires 9 bullets that home at a slow, reactable pace towards opponents. It also has a hitbox on her blade as she returns in place. It also reloads Vani’s bullet count and gives her +2 extra bullets she can use freely.
Future updates (Soonish):
– Proper Victory Screen animation
– LAP functionality
– Proper, unique Forward Strong of a wide swing of her gunscissors horizontally
– Fix a bug where her input listeners stop working after you use the second Special Move twice
Special thanks to Alec for creating Smack Studio!
Floof’s personal ToS: You may not for any reason edit, tweak, recolor, repost, copy, or produce derivative works, such as "echo fighters", using this character’s rig, sprites, or animations. You *may* however examine frame data, hitboxes, hurtboxes, viewing functionality, provided that nothing is ever directly copied.
