SPECIALS
____________________________________________________
DOWN SPECIAL

His gimmick involves using Down special to change the charge of his tail to first positive then negative.
The charge you have will also affect your other specials.

SIDE SPECIAL

This moves spits out an acorn that you can arc up and place in the air. If you have a charge, the acorn will summon a field with that same charge and remove it from your tail.
Holding Down Special will also send the current charge you have to the acorn and give it a positive or negative field.

FIELDS

Positive Fields will hold you, your opponent, and any projectiles in place. It is also possible to shoot yourself through it with moves like Dash Attack.
Negative Fields will bounce away you, your opponent, and any projectiles. This could mess up a possible kill, or stop and enemy recovery. The fields will float indefinitely but will be destroyed in one hit.

NEUTRAL SPECIAL

A nut is spit up in the air with a consistent hit box as long as its moving, 1 can exist at a time. Anyone can hit the nut and send it flying. Using the nuts with the Fields can leads to some sick snipes.
If your tail is charged, hitting the nut with it will share the charge with the nut and affect its knock back.
A positive nut will send the target inward and a Negative nut will launch them further. Regular nuts have a weak knock back and may hit multiple times with poor DI.

UP SPECIAL

Taken from Hime Daisho with permission from Sakamoto and Archytas, You can angle Loadent draw strings in 32 directions to use as grapple hooks. You can grapple to an acorn and if it has a field, that will replenish your up B.
Hitting an opponent with it will launch them inwards, Use the momentum from it or cancel it on hit to drag in your opponent.

Moves of note
____________________________________________________
  • Back Air has sweet spots on the aglets of his drawstrings. the first one is positive and will do reverse knock back, and the second one is a sweet spot with strong launch power. This move is also disjointed.
  • Side Tilt and Up Air have sweet spots on the tip of the tail. Catch your opponent of guard by spacing well
  • Fair grants great momentum that can circumvent his slow speed.
  • Down strong digs up a rock behind him. This projectile can catch people off guard and rack up damage, not to mention fly offstage.
  • Forward Strong is a stunning headbutt that at low percents, will connect with a slap from his checks that launch your opponent backwards.
  • Loadents tail during Up Strong is intangible, so you may jump over some low hitting attacks

-And talking about upstrong, this move feels incredible to combo with Running attack and kills really early making all the kills into the ceiling, making your kill confirm predictable and easy to avoid with DI down, where your below loadent when he barely have control over you since all his moves are made to be used on grounded targets. This also makes that sniping with the nut and edguarding with acorn most likely to never happen and i think is a total waste of his unique gimmick.
I'm aware that these issues may be caused by me not investing enought time on him. I hope this feedback is usefull

I have been playing Loadent a lot lately and the potential on his mechanics is quite big, the basic moves are really unique and make him be played different. This also made the character feel incosistent:
-If you don't have time to setup the acorn the neutral is really bad due to lack of disjointed hitboxes or long range attack
-SideStrong works well during combos but when you get hit by the move the opponent have time to correct their DI not making a good kill move. (I'm aware of Fair but is there precision needed is to much to make it a consistent way to send to the edge)
-I didn't learned to use it properly but Downstrong is not abble to kill people leaving all the kill potential in Upstrong.

@Monagression definitely born in the Aether world. Just in the future timeline

Quick question: would you say this character could be classified as a character born in the rival of aether world, or are they from their own canon? I'm making a list of rival canon workshop characters

I had to check the page as well.

I looked at the character sprites a really long time but could not figure out what he was. Had to check the page to see he was a chipmunk. Cool idea but to me he just looks and feels too funky/wierd.
