Description
Maverick


Maverick - The Whirlwind Warrior has joined RoA! Use Maverick's powerful attacks to keep your opponents at bay and control the battlefield with his Whirlwinds.

Maverick's power is the use of whirlwinds. Once in a whirlwind, the enemy is caught for a moment before being thrown out. This acts as a combo tool and stage control for Maverick, and also allows him defensive and recovery options when putting himself through a whirlwind!

Special Moves
NSpecial - Cargo Throw:
Cargo Throw is a dangerous close range grab that allows Maverick to carry an enemy caught for a while, before choosing to throw them outwards, upwards or even downwards! Throwing enemies into whirlwinds can rack up intense damage!

FSpecial - Turbine Punch:
Turbine Punch can be charged, giving you a massive attack that fires a gust of wind at the enemy. When hit, enemies will be marked, this mark will cause whirlwinds to be more powerful!

USpecial - Gorillanado:
Gorillanado is a large horizontal recovery tool, very similar to that of Donkey Kong in Super Smash Bros. With its massive range and multihit properties it can instantly threaten your opponent. Be wary, as it is predictable once it starts!

DSpecial - Whirlwind:
Whirlwind is the main source of Maverick's power. You can deploy a whirlwind that stay on the battlefield for a period of time. On tap this move will deploy a whirlwind that points upwards, sending all fighters in that direction. By holding the special button you can change its firing angle, allowing you to create all kinds of versatile applications! Also keep in mind enemies can throw you into whirlwinds, or even destroy them by hitting them.

With his tornado mechanics, Maverick is totally better than Donkey Kong

Not sure why and this could just be a problem only I have, but the sprite appears to be scaled incorrectly. It is much smaller than the other characters.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't know fspec had a sweet spot.

@Qazzquimby. I forgot to reply to you on the last one, but I don't think making marked opponents unable to destroy whirlwinds that cool.

As for the other ones, the max charge punch has the strong hit on the actual punch, to having it linking together wouldn't really work, right now if you want to deal more damage and knockback, you should use it closer to the opponent.

We tried windboxes during development, believe me, you don't want that, same with wind pushing whirlwinds. And the NSpecial grab has been made smaller the last patch as well.

The Mark -> Whirlwind was nerfed to not be super broken at early percentage, but it should still reliably kill, specially with some smart setups
