[OLD] Ryu Hayabusa
Ryu Hayabusa, from the Ninja Gaiden series, has joined Rivals of Aether, use his quick Ninja skills like his iconic Izuna Drop, or controls the battlefield with his Shadow Clone
Hayabusa has a series of unique moves to aid his fighting style, like his Dash Attack, which can go off ledges, and DAir, which if landed close to the edge, can easily be canceled out off, as well as his iconic NAir, which you can pretty much hold forever. Not only that, but he can also Cling on to Walls, and after that climb them by holding up or down
– Neutral Special – The Shadow Clone
Hayabusa’s main Gimmick is his Neutral Special, which summons a clone, very similar to his Ninja Gaiden II incarnation, the clone will mimic all of Hayabusa’s Normals and Strongs (his strongs however, doesn’t really launch enemies, but instead stuns them), you can make the clone move by holding Neutral Special again, which will bring it close to Hayabusa. If the clone get’s hit by an enemy attack, it will be destroyed and unusable for 3 seconds (keep an eye on Hayabusa’s HUD for a better estimate).
– Forward Special – Projectile Throw
With FSpecial, Hayabusa can throw 2 different projectiles in 3 different directions, you can change the direction by holding up or down during the start of the move. To switch between the projectiles, simply tap or hold the Special Button when activating the move, the tap version will throw Hayabusa’s iconic Shuriken, which is very fast, but not that powerful, but if you hold the button, Hayabusa will then throw out an Electric Orb, which deals a bit more damage and knockback, but it’s overall slower.
When the clone is active, if you throw a projectile at it, Hayabusa will then be instantly teleported to that location, use this move for follow-ups or traps.
– Down Special – Fire Barrage
With DSpecial, Hayabusa will strike a pose, and little Fireballs will orbitate around him for a bit, during this period, if Hayabusa gets hit, he will then use a judo throw on his enemy, it isn’t as strong, but it’s great for positioning.
However, the true power of this move is the Clone version, if Hayabusa uses his DSpecial while his Clone is active, the Fireball will then protect the clone, rather than Hayabusa himself, meaning that, if the clone gets hit by an enemy attack (or even by your own projectile), the clone will blow up in a very powerful explosion.
– Up Special – Izuna Drop
Hayabusa’s most iconic move, this move isn’t all that great as a recovery, however if an enemy is hit by it, Hayabusa will grab on, and plunge both of them downward, finishing in a very powerful explosion.
If you use this move awhile a clone is within reach, Hayabusa will then fly way higher and deal even more damage, and the explosion will increase it’s range (but the knockback is still the same)
These are all Hayabusa’s most important moves, please let me know what you think of him, any Bugs, feedback, recommendations, opinions or ideas, feel free to share them down bellow.
