Description
COGITO. ERGO. SUM.
I THINK. THEREFORE, I
AM.
From the short story I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream wages war on Rivals of Aether!

AM is an artificial intelligence. Created by humans for the sole purpose of war and violence.
HATE is all that AM can ever be.

AM has millions of miles of circuitry encompassing the planet. In order to properly wage war on Aether, AM has to harness but a fraction of his godlike power inside a drone vessel. This vessel is equipped to enact as much violence as possible.

NORMALS
Jab - AM can hold his jab for prolonged damage.
Forward Tilt - AM can cancel the first hit of this attack into other normals.
Down Tilt - AM sweeps with exposed wiring.
Up Tilt - AM becomes a furnace for a very strong upwards attack.

Aerials
Nair - AM summons LOCUSTS for a multi-hit attack.
Fair - AM swings his exposing wiring downwards, causing grounded enemies to flinch.
Bair - AM's Antenna becomes a whip with a very strong sweetspot.
Dair - AM sprouts wings and talons and dives downwards.

Strongs
Forward Strong - AM swings and slams the limp body of Gorrister.
Down Strong - AM creates deadly shards of ice from underneath him.
Up Strong - AM summons the HATE PILLAR. He cannot use this strong while the HATE PILLAR exists. The HATE PILLAR can be destroyed by opponents.

Specials
Neutral Special - AM enters a weapon state and can move during it. AM floats slowly downwards when using this special in the air.
Forward Special - AM calls upon his inner psyche.
Up Special - AM sprouts the wings of the Hurricane Bird and propels himself upwards.
Down Special - AM charges his HATE.

GIMMICK - HATE
AM has three levels of HATE.
HATE is gained
- by successfully landing attacks on opponents.
- using down special.
- passively when the HATE PILLAR exists.

Each level of HATE changes certain properties. Am increases in weight per level of HATE.
HATE LEVEL ONE
  • Forward Special becomes the EGO of AM, a charge forward that stuns the opponent.
  • Neutral Special becomes a BOW AND ARROW.

HATE LEVEL TWO
  • Forward Special becomes the SUPEREGO of AM, a teleport that sends upwards- but will spike if the first hit does not hit an opponent.
  • Neutral Special becomes a GUN.
  • One of AM's double jumps are replenished when hitting an opponent with his down aerial.
  • Forward Aerial becomes a canned food with better damage and knockback.

HATE LEVEL THREE
  • Forward Special becomes the ID of AM, a four-way directional multi-hitting dash.
  • Neutral Special becomes a MINIGUN that fires upwards.
  • A Plague of Frogs spawn to the left and right of AM when he whiffs his down aerial
  • Forward Aerial becomes a canned food with even greater damage and knockback.
  • Down Special becomes #!-#!#//## which will 6##!#@## the opponent %%#/## ##/#//#//HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE.

on screen*

and this only applies to when playing the character in versus matches, it works just fine in the training mode

really good character but the sprites for his level 3 down B get stuck on scream forever sometimes

if you could fix that then this goes from a 10/10 to an 11/10 character :nomouth:

What's the template used? It seems like it has a placeholder for a Final Smash.

AM in rivals of eather wasnt in my bingo card but I am thankfull for it,tho when enemy destroys the monolith it could atleast have animation of how it shatters to peaces,overall I like it but the taunt ngl could rather be the hate thing or cogito ergo sum, but *AM noise* is cool too ig, or it could have multiple taunts but its good

final smash buddy only works at hate level one, not sure if its intentional or not

this should be a boss stage instead of a character.
