Beri + Beribot
Note: I’m super sorry that I botched her release, but thanks to the feedback I received, I believe I have resolved everything (or at least a whole lot!) I hope people are still willing to try her. Here are some of the biggest things I changed:
-No more performance issues.
-Reworked SFX and visual FX a bunch.
-Changed animations to be more easy to read.
-Altered crouch animation to look less silly.
-Removed Muno Phone due to performance issues.
-Fixed bugs that caused issues with coloration.
-Simplified Battery System
-Battery and Barrier Ball flash red when Barrier Ball takes damage.
-Reworked how Barrier Ball responds to projectiles.
-Changed many moves to be more satisfying and make multi-hits hit more consistently.
-Beri now goes into pratfall when she hits zero battery.
-Up Special and Glide have been combined, but Glide is still possible to use on its own.
-Barrier Ball can now be hit back at Beri.
-Wired mode now gives a 30% benefit to battery life and Barrier Ball attacks across the board, so it has been reduced to the point that Barrier Ball is much more difficult to kill with.
-Alt colors have been changed and look much better, as well as more easy to recognize in dittos.
-Beri has been renamed Beri + Beribot. I’m going to start working on solo Beri and take her moveset in a more focused direction that will be easier to learn for the player and opponent.
-Check patch notes for more specifics!
Summary:
An energetic engineer hamster who uses an energy shield as a hamster ball. She has great utility in Barrier Ball mode but is overdependent on her battery meter. Run out of battery and you might be in trouble!
Be sure to check out the video guide!
NSpecial: Barrier Ball
– Changes Beri’s physics and prevents you from harm at the cost of your battery. Getting hit causes you to be knocked backward.
-Being in Barrier Ball mode makes your attacks interact with the Barrier Ball in unique ways. Tilts and Dash Attack swing the ball like a weapon, Strong Attacks and jab shoot it out like a projectile, and aerials use it to boost through the air in different directions.
-Pressing NSpecial again detonates the ball and the faster you are moving, the more hitstun and damage it will do.
FSpecial: Beribot Block
-Beribot is Beri’s robot friend.
-Using FSpecial will place Beribot on either side of the stage, blocking players in hitstun from getting past her.
-If Beribot touches the Barrier Ball, the Barrier Ball will get bounced in the opposite direction.
DSpecial: Electrical Wire
-DSpecial places a point on the ground. If you place down two of these points, it creates a wire between them.
-Touching the wire decreases the rate your battery depletes and increases the strength of your Barrier Ball moves.
-In Barrier Ball mode and touching the wire, holding DSpecial performs a new move called Skyward Shock.
-If the Barrier Ball touches either of your two points, it will travel to the other one.
USpecial: Beribot Rescue
-Beribot carries Beri back to the stage.
-In Barrier Ball mode, USpecial can be used as an attack and to protect Beri on her way back to the stage.
Extras:
-Hold parry to shield like in Smash Bros.
-Beribot will allow Beri to move while charging Strong Attacks.
-Run, taunt, or walljump to restore your battery.
