DOWN SPECIAL
His gimmick involves using Down special to change the charge of his tail to first positive then negative.
The charge you have will also affect your other specials.
SIDE SPECIAL
This moves spits out an acorn that you can arc up and place in the air. If you have a charge, the acorn will summon a field with that same charge and remove it from your tail.
Holding Down Special will also send the current charge you have to the acorn and give it a positive or negative field.
FIELDS
Positive Fields will hold you, your opponent, and any projectiles in place. It is also possible to shoot yourself through it with moves like Dash Attack.
Negative Fields will bounce away you, your opponent, and any projectiles. This could mess up a possible kill, or stop and enemy recovery. The fields will float indefinitely but will be destroyed in one hit.
NEUTRAL SPECIAL
A nut is spit up in the air with a consistent hit box as long as its moving, 1 can exist at a time. Anyone can hit the nut and send it flying. Using the nuts with the Fields can leads to some sick snipes.
If your tail is charged, hitting the nut with it will share the charge with the nut and affect its knock back.
A positive nut will send the target inward and a Negative nut will launch them further. Regular nuts have a weak knock back and may hit multiple times with poor DI.
UP SPECIAL
Taken from Hime Daisho with permission from Sakamoto and Archytas, You can angle Loadent draw strings in 32 directions to use as grapple hooks. You can grapple to an acorn and if it has a field, that will replenish your up B.
Hitting an opponent with it will launch them inwards, Use the momentum from it or cancel it on hit to drag in your opponent.

- Back Air has sweet spots on the aglets of his drawstrings. the first one is positive and will do reverse knock back, and the second one is a sweet spot with strong launch power. This move is also disjointed.
- Side Tilt and Up Air have sweet spots on the tip of the tail. Catch your opponent of guard by spacing well
- Fair grants great momentum that can circumvent his slow speed.
- Down strong digs up a rock behind him. This projectile can catch people off guard and rack up damage, not to mention fly offstage.
- Forward Strong is a stunning headbutt that at low percents, will connect with a slap from his checks that launch your opponent backwards.
- Loadents tail during Up Strong is intangible, so you may jump over some low hitting attacks
