Lucas (OLD)

Lucas from Mother 3 joins Rivals of Aether!
Using a variety of PSI attacks, items and the trusty Rope Snake from Mother 3, Lucas is prepared to fight any foe he encounters!


Specials:
Neutral Special: PK Flash
PK Flash is a green projectile that travels in a wide arc. In the Mother series, PK Flash is a non damaging move that applies negative status effects to an enemy hit by it. These effects vary from paralysis, to crying, to even instant defeat. This move was created in order to mimic the randomness of that move. Players hit by this move may take damage along with extra stun time and/or extra knockback. This move may even land a devastating blow, ending in an instant KO (1% chance) but also has a much higher chance of whiffing and dealing little knockback and damage. Missing the move may also leave Lucas vulnerable.

Side Specials:
Lucas is able to switch between side special by holding forward and taunt at the same time. The specials cycle between PK Fire, PK Thunder and PK Freeze, all having varying cool-downs based on power.
PK Fire:
PK Fire is a sort of mixture between Ness' and Lucas' version in Super Smash Brothers. It is a projectile that travels down at a slight downward angle. Upon hitting an opponent, it bursts into a row of fire and hits other nearby enemies. It does not have very high knockback, but is good for dealing some damage with fire.
PK Thunder:
This move is a lot different than the original one. When using this move, you must hold special in order to continue aiming. After letting go of special, a thunderbolt strikes on that spot. It is a slow move with a long cool-down, but is very powerful and can hit more than one player. It is especially effective at launching far away opponents.
PK Freeze:
PK Freeze is also very different from the original. This move has lucas shoot an ice shard with a very long life time in a straight line in front of him. This move has 1/5 chance to freeze a grounded foe, and has very little hitstun. This move also has a very weak initial knockback, but has a high knockback growth rate. This means this move is very good at launching opponents at high percentages, while not being as effective at lower ones. This move has a moderate cooldown.

Down Special: Shield
Down special has Lucas activate a shield of light. This shield is able to reduce both knockback and damage taken from attacks. It is also able to deal some damage to the attacker as recoil if they are nearby. This shield is destroyed after four hits, being parried, or being knocked out. The shield then has a cool-down of 60 seconds.

Up Special (ground): Refresh
Refresh is activated while using up special on the ground. This activates a state where Lucas is able to recover damage dealt when attacking. While being in this state, each hit will heal Lucas 50% of the damage dealt. This state lasts for 15 seconds (or until being knocked out or parried) and another 15 seconds until the move can be used again. When being knocked out, the move goes on a 10 second cool-down.

Up Special (air): Birdcage
When using up special in the air, Lucas holds onto a bird cage for a while before letting go. The birdcage has one strong hitbox and is great for launching players off the top of the screen. The birdcage itself also becomes a projectile that continues to travel upward once Lucas lets go.

This fighter is still a work in progress.

This is my first go at trying to make a rivals character, so i'm kind of learning this while also learning game maker and spriting. Some (most) of the code may be unoptimized or even not needed, so keep in mind this is more of a learning thing for me (and also that somehow, i have not seen another lucas character on here yet). I hope you enjoy!
