Orin

Here it is! My first attempt at a fully original character without the use of a sprite sheet!

Orin is a unique fighter who can swiftly change between a fast, up close combo style, or a slow, powerful sword style.

Styles can be switched by pressing taunt at any point, you can even switch styles mid combo!

COMBO STYLE:



Combo style is all about stylish and satisfying combos, in the air and on the ground. Orin's whole toolkit in combo style allows him to freely transition one attack into the next. Some attacks in this style are able to be cancelled into another hit by pressing the attack button again, these are:

D-tilt (2 hits)

F-tilt (2 hits)

F-air (3 hits)

N-Special: Flurry
-----------------------
Orin releases a series of kicks that do very little damage, but do keep the opponent in hitstun. Holding down the special button will cause Orin to release kicks indefinitely. This attack can also be cancelled into a flip kick by pressing the attack button.

F-Special: Lunging Uppercut
-----------------------
Orin slides forward while performing an uppercut. this attack hits multiple times before the final strike, so to get the most out of it, start the attack close to your opponent.

D-Special: Head Splitter
-----------------------
Orin soars into the air with a flip kick, taking his opponent high into the air. Pressing the special button again will cause Orin to perform a descending axe kick, knocking opponents out of the way.

U-Special: Crimson Somersault
-----------------------
Orin flies upwards with a flipping kick, sending opponents into the air. This attack has a hitbox at the very start of the move as well, so try to use it up close.


SWORD STYLE:



Sword style grants Orin extra range and power on his attacks, but in exchange, he becomes less nimble with his speed and jump height. Sword style also has a cancellable attack:

Dash Attack (2 hits)

N-Special: Quick Draw
-----------------------
Orin releases a fast and strong vertical slash. As long as the special button is held, Orin will continually keep his blade sheathed, and the longer the button is held, the stronger the attack will be. After a full second of charging, the attack becomes a critical hit, dealing much more damage with a distinct sound effect.

F-Special: Slice n' Dice
-----------------------
Orin performs a series of slashes in quick succession. Each slash must be inputted manually with another press of the special button, up to 3 additional times.

D-Special: Deflect
-----------------------
Orin enters a defensive stance for a brief period, gaining super armor. If he is struck within this short window, he will repel the enemies attack and retaliate with a powerful slash.

U-Special: Cloud cutter
-----------------------
Orin soars into the sky with an upward slash. This attack can be followed up with an additional horizontal slice by pressing the special button a second time.


This character took A LOT longer than I wanted it to, and I probably won't be doing any more OCs for a while. But in the meantime I hope you enjoy Orin and his mediocre animations.
