Hero (DQ1)

The protector of Alefgard, Roto, joins the Brawl!

With his magic, as well as Erdrick's Sword, he's going to be working to slay any evil that may randomly encounter him. Use your sword's range, as well as cast Sizzle, to keep foes out, or deny someone's projectiles by casting Fizzle!

Neutral Special - Snooze/Sleep
= A small, slow bubble that will put an enemy to sleep temporarily (about half a second). You're going to need to be fast if you want to convert off of this! Works best offstage, as enemies won't wake up until they hit the ground. Long cooldown.

Side Special - Sizzle/Hurtmore
= Sizzle (known as Hurtmore in the original translations) is a large, multihit wall of fire that can check enemy approaches, start, or extend combos, as well as be used for jump-ins! Just be careful, as any regular old attack will beat it... Has a fast cooldown.

Down Special - Fizzle/Stopspell
= Fizzle will create some anti-magic particles in place, which will stop (almost) every projectile in it's tracks. The spell will linger around for a few seconds, before dissipating. Medium cooldown.

Up Special - Zoom/Return
= Zoom to the skies and pick where you want to return to (by holding in that direction.) Goes high, but is very vulnerable as the upwards movement is predictable and slow.

Q/A
Q: This character is animated somewhat poorly. Why is that?
A: I am not an animator

Q: This character is coded somewhat poorly. Why is that?
A: I am not a coder

Q: This art is drawn poorly. Why is that?
A: I am not an artist

Q: Why Dragon Quest 1?
A: I love that game, but also the moveset intrigued me. In Dragon Quest 1, you only have 8 spells total, and most are not combat spells. "Illuminate" and "safe passage" wouldn't be possible to translate into dragon quest

Q: What is Hero's best move?
A: In my opinion, Sizzle. You can use it to start and finish combos, and the cooldown is negligible.

Q: I see the vision but I want to remix/improve the character in my own way. Can I?
A: Absolutely, by all means go ahead. DM me on Twitter (@goated_triad) and let me know so I can see the final product.

Q: (X) move is OP
A: I have no friends so I can't play test. I'm sorry.

Q: Why did you have a Q/A section?
A: I'm very self absorbed.

Q: What characters is Hero good against?
A: Characters who are slow, or rely on zoning with projectiles will have a hard time against Hero's sword, but especially Fizzle. Hero isn't fast himself, but his hitboxes are quite big. Although, in workshop, he will probably be outclassed in range often. That's what Sizzle is for!

Q: What characters is Hero bad against?
A: Very fast rushdown characters could give him trouble, or characters with more range. He has a VERY hard time landing with his slow and laggy aerials, as well as poor mobility. If he can't play his game, he lacks the versatility to beat speed. Also, while Zoom can sometimes be very good, some characters can snipe him and net early kills against it.

Q: Wow, Snooze sucks!
A: Yeah, it does. I didn't know how to actually code the move how I wanted.

Q: What was the hardest move to code?
A: Sizzle took me forever. Making multihits is hard. But I think the move turned out satisfying and visually pleasing.

Q: What is your favorite skin?
A: I will always use default, but if I was forced not to, Graduation, Tortoise Shell, and Dragon Quest XIII are my favorites, in that order.

Q: Why is (X) a skin?
A: I ran out of canon ideas. Everything before 21 is a direct reference, though.
