Ghost

About a year ago, I started making a game called "Ghost." It is a puzzle game where you have a laser that can only shoot up, so you have to reflect it off of a mirror to press the right buttons. There are also two different types of teleporters as well as a green zone that rotates the mirror. The game functions, but I am still adding levels as there are only 6 as of publishing this character. Around the same time that I started making the game, I made a rivals character of the same name, with 20 jumps, a broken up air, and most importantly, an up special that resembles the laser from the game (but is very broken). The character is fun, but it's Ronald type fun (also my friend made a character around the same time called blob, and ghost and blob are fun to play against each other). A year later, I decided I would learn how to make a good rivals character (more specifically I wanted to make the mirror function as a spatial resource), so I did, and here is the result. A lot of their moves are similar ideas to the original that I made a year ago, but toned down/balanced (such as uspecial or bair). I am excited to eventually publish the puzzle game I mentioned a million years ago, and if you for some reason read all of this, maybe you should play it (it will be on pico-8).

But you don't care about any of that. You care about the moveset:

-Crouching, rolling, wavedashing, and all 3 "down" moves give you invisibility (because ghosts).

-Up tilt and nspecial spawn the two types of teleporters from the game. Up tilt's version hits opponents that touch it upwards, while nspecial teleports you to it if you hit it with laser

-Up B is a laser that can kill opponents off the top, and can interact with nspecial and fspecial

-Fspecial spawns a mirror that can reflect your laser left or right.

-Dspecial prevents you from doing anything for about 6 seconds during which you are invisible. At the end of the 6 seconds you heal.
