[OLD] Papyrus

This is an archive of Papyrus's iteration between Legacy and Definitive. Since Definitive Edition is an update of Papyrus rather than a new upload, I've decided to upload this for those who might prefer it.

Powerful! Popular! Prestegious! Those three words describe none other than The Great Papyrus, returning to the battlegrounds of Aether to jape his foes and put some backbone into the competition!

Papyrus is back, and much more balanced and standardized than ever before! New moves and attacks built from the ground up, new stage and stat controlling mechanics to jape around with, and so much more!

SPECIALS:

Neutral Special: Shock Orb - Papyrus will throw out the blue shock orb from his invisible maze, which will stick to any opponent it hits. The orb will spark the next time Papyrus lands an attack, and with a certain effect given by the forward special, the spark can be much more powerful. Nevertheless, this makes for an astounding combo extender.

Forward Special: Blue Attack - Papyrus will send forth a blue bone that will damage anyone that is in the air, but nobody that's on the ground. However, the catch is that anyone who is standing where the blue bone was moving will be caught in the blue attack. This blue attack will turn anyone caught blue, and their weight will increase significantly to where they become combo food for the standardly skeleton! This effect will last for 7 seconds, and Papyrus will be unable to use the move again in that time unless he is KO'd.

Up Special: Bone Rise - Papyrus will snap his fingers to summon a bone platform that will stay in place, which he can use to gain extra leverage and save himself from falling. Papyrus's blue attack affecting anyone will make this bone rise at a steady pace so it can be easier to recover! Regardless, just be careful not to stand on it as it disappears...

Down Special: Bone Trap - Papyrus summons forth a short wall of bones from the ground, and they will stay there for a decent amount of time while they're able to be placed elsewhere at any time. Anyone who touches these bones will be knocked upward, which can make this move good for stage control and combo potential. Normally, the bones will go back down upon being touched, and the move itself will be put under a short cool down period. However, if any opponent is affected by Papyrus's blue attack, these bones can hit up to three times in a row instead, with a timer given to it that will reset how many times it can hit if you wait long enough. On the other hand, this timer will reset back to the start if the bones are brought elsewhere before the timer ends.

Special Thanks to Buttercup for their astounding contributions to this mod, and coming with the idea of a full revamp like this to begin with. Who knows where Papyrus would be without such a kind and determined soul?
