Mulch&Bin

Description
LORE:
There was once a small village of humble farmers located on the outskirts civilization, they lived peacefully and dedicated to their craft, but it wouldn't last long when the fire empire, in an attempt to expand and control nearby lands, burnt the village to the ground. A lot of the members fell in battle, but the few that survived were forced to escape into the aetherian desert in search of a new home.

They learnt to survive out of any scraps and leftovers they could find, with one member in particular, Mulch, using the long forgotten knowledge from his farmer roots, made an unlikely aliance with a plant later named Bin, they formed a symbiotic relationship where the scrap found would be consumed by Bin to create resources for the people. Mulch and Bin made a promise to protect their people now known as the aetherian scavangers. often finding themselves in the midst of the conflicts just to gather all the scraps left by the fighting forces, hoping to one day rebuild their old home.

GAMEPLAY:

Mulch and Bin use their unique dynamic in battle by having Mulch feed Bin with scrap dropped by the opponents to harness it into various items.



Vast Collection
With neutral special, Mulch goes through a series of items taken out of Bin to later shoot out, knowing which item to spend your scrap on is the key to playing them well. You can also spend the same amount to make a second action on your up special and shoot out a ball of scrap, helping you in recovering while also damaging below you.

Washing the competition
With down special, and 2 full bars of scrap, Mulch can take out an entire rundown washing machine from out of Bin, this machine has the ability to hold your neutral special projectiles, as well as being susceptible to exploding if full with enough scrap, and being a tool Mulch&Bin can simply kick around.

Scrap pieces
Moves like forward tilt and down strong at the cost of a very small amount of bar, cause Mulch to shoot out pieces of scrap that serve both as resources for you bar, and as traps you can lay on the stage.




It is a canon, and known fact that mulch, during his adventures came across a spider name archarid and proceeded to eat them, he said it did not taste good.

I must thank the workshop server for existing as it contains a bunch of information, but mainly Karu for helping me solve an issue I just couldn't from my lack of basic knowledge.

I adore them, and they're very fun. If you're allowed to update this past the deadline, please change some sfx. Jab 3 and their projectiles just aren't satisfying to land because of them. Good luck!

I liked the part where Mulch pulled a cigar out of Bin, smoked the entire thing in one go, and told us it was "Mulching time"
