YOMI Ninja [WIP]

Character is from the turn-based fighting game Your Only Move Is HUSTLE, also known as YOMI Hustle. The sole creator of the game and character design is Ivy Sly. I am using the character for educational purposes to learn coding and design practices.

This is my attempt at re-creating the Ninja from YOMI Hustle using both art and a movelist as close as possible to the original as possible, without compromising fun, feel, and balance. This is my first mod, so please understand that the fun, feel, and balance might not be here just yet, but as this is an exercise in game design and not just a whim, I am here for the long haul with the goal of making a competitively balanced character that truly captures the Ninja from YOMI.

Thanks, I hope you enjoy. Please leave feedback here or on the Extended Workshop Discord.

The Ninja is designed to be an all-rounder with a focus on mobility and a wide array of tools to confuse, overwhelm, and approach opponents. Their kit is relatively imbalanced in the sense that a few moves are fairly underwhelming or low reaching, while others have a high amount of utility and power built into them. Every move still has a solid use case and purpose behind it. The kit may feel unwieldy, but it's quite powerful.

It is my sincere goal to make the kit as a whole feel fun, fair, and balanced, but please bear with me and provide any feedback on what feels out of place. It is still a work in progress, and my first work at that. Thank you for reading.
