User blog:Smasher51/Fantasy Moveset: Nightmare

Hey everyone. It is now apparent that I've helped start a new trend for moveset making. This may not have as much of the desired effect as they used to, since it's more of a common thing. Speaking of which, one of the users doing these, DryDry, made a moveset on my original character Ace. You should check it out.

Anyway, some of you are waiting on pins and needles for your characters, and I'm working on them. So next was probably one of the most challenging moveset I've done. With limited resources at the time I made the moveset (SoulCalibur Wiki isn't as informative on movesets as we are). But I managed, and here (albeit sloppy) moveset for Nightmare from SoulCalibur.

Normal Attacks
Neutral: Three massive sword strikes.

Side Tilt: Claws forward with his right hand.

Up Tilt: Does an uppercut with his right hand.

Down Tilt: Claws downward with right hand.

Dash Attack: Thrusts Forward.

Side Smash: Slashes vertically downward with one hand.

Up Smash: Slashes in an arc, similarly to Ike's up smash.

Down Smash: Sweeps the Soul Edge below him multiple times, similar to Shulk's down smash.

Aerials
Neutral: Rotates the Soul Edge around himself.

Forward: Slashes forward.

Back: Kicks backwards.

Up: Slashes in an arc above himself.

Down: Slashes downward horizontally, similar to Ike's down aerial.

Grabs, Throws, and Other
Grab: Grabs opponent with his right hand.

Pummel: Electrocutes opponent.

Forward Throw: Nightmare pulses with energy as opponent is thrown backwards.

Back Throw: Tosses opponent backward.

Up Throw: Throws opponent upward, than follows it up with an upward slash with the Soul Edge.

Down Throw: Slams opponent downward, pulsing with energy.

Ledge Attack: Punches with right hand.

100% Ledge Attack: Slashes forward with the Soul Edge.

Get-Up Attack: Slashes to both sides of himself.

Special Moves
Neutral: Soul Wave: A sphere of energy surrounds Nightmare, causing damage to whoever he's next to for a short time before the sphere dissipates and throwing trapped opponents back.

Side: Jade Slash: A rapid, horizontal slash, faster than most of his moves. It retains the damage of the Soul Edge, but not it's KB, and has some ending lag (to prevent spamming).

Up: Crimson Slash: This move is similar to Link's Spin Attack. It deals one strong hit and causes darkness damage.

Down: Counter: There's probably enough characters in the Smash series with this move that you probably know what this does.

Final Smash: Dark Reconquista: Nightmare slashes once to trap opponents, than once more to deal a heavy vertical blow that can KO at damages over 30%.

Well, that's all. I don't have much to say to conclude, other than next up is Shadow the Hedgehog from Sonic the Hedgehog. Hope you enjoyed this and See You Later.
