Ao

Description
This is Ao, a character based on plantoid species by Azazel Fire.
Her "plant" is that one blue tulip on Starry Hilltop (https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2262089820) .
i think this is an entry for azazel fire's VS Plantoid thing.

Ao is an echo fighter of Acid Rainbows (https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1894194148) . Ao is comfortable with this. However, the specials are entirely different.

NSPECIAL is a Comet Dash/Tackle/Whatever, a stronger move that will summon a "tulip moon" of sorts, at the same time. You can angle the Comet Dash forward, back, diagonally up or down.

FSPECIAL 'Sword Magic: Wind' can be cancelled into itself up to 4 times. When it hits, you can immediately jump-cancel out of it! The more you combo itself into it, the stronger the knockback gets - which will even be stored between jump cancels!

USPECIAL is PM Kirby Up B with Cutter Dash. You now hold special and direction (left or right) to execute a "Cutter Dash". If up is held at the same time, however, it will not acticate cutter dash.

DSPECIAL is Slap City's Frallan DSPECIAL, but expanded a bit. You can cancel any tilts, dash attacks, or aerials into dspecial! just input dspecial while you are in hitpause.

finally, there are 2 normal moves that's different from Acid Rainbows - which is NAIR and FAIR. Ao's nair is new, although a little similar. but her fair is whole new, being a wide diagonal swipe that helps as a disjoint move! hit distant opponents and combo 'em up!


Ao. that one blue tulip from starry hilltop. her soul imbued with blue emelas (elemental crystalline fiber metal [sic] or something), she is able to perform wind magic intended for swords she is not an entire embodiment of starry hilltop or anything - she's just a plant who has been there for lifetime and influenced by the place big time doesn't often express any emotions, seemingly blunt but she's just calm more than anything, it's not that she's not happy, but that she's kind of afraid or don't know how to express it so she just dedicated that feeling she charged up within her to some sort of combat dance technique as like a hobby but it just ended up being her thing. she enjoys doing it however, so all is good

@Cabbage how in hell did you figure that out?

I figured the on-hit stuff had some niche use, but I'll have to do some experimenting with the strongs. Thanks!

oh heck, i totally forgot about the strongs thing. ye thats correct!
cabbage 22 Jun, 2021 @ 3:50am 
the moon is what i like to call "on-hit fuel" which means moves that do special things on hit get their on hit when hitting the moon just like any other opponent. this means you can do stuff out of upb cutter with the slide or do a sideb jump for momentum. it also repeats your strongs, which can be really useful with ustrong

yeah, hitting it is the only interaction (for now)
what it is, is because her gimmick is pretty much on-hit stuff, like dspecial, uspecial cutter dash IASA or fspecial jump cancel and all that, and with the "moon", you'd have a free hit for you to do that wherever you put it

I don't know if I'm just missing something, but is there any way to interact with the n-special "moon" outside of hitting it, or am I missing something?
