User blog:Lasatar/Egil for Smash

I'm back! As you're probably aware, I like making movesets for Xenoblade Characters. The last project I worked on was a redesigned moveset for Shulk, because I hate the way he was made into smash. The moveset can be found here:. This time, I'm making a moveset for a character called Egil. Summary Egil is a very major character in Xenoblade, probably the 3rd or 4th most important character, he is treated as an antagonist for most of the game, but not being truly evil, and he realises the error of his ways later on. Egil is without a doubt my favourite character from the game, and one of my most wanted for Smash, bringing awesome moveset potential. He's also (I think this may please a lot of people) not another sword user, instead using various other methods of attack. In smash bros, he will be a heavyweight, heavier than Ganondorf, yet still possessing a decent movement ability. He will possess a large number of quick, low-damage attacks, and a few very powerful attacks. He will also have no major gimmick. Moveset Neutral A: A fast series of low damage swipe attacks that give the essence of "This isn't worth my time". Tilts: Some more swipe attacks, taking a bit more time to pull off and a bit more powerful. The down tilt is a kick-like move. Smash Attacks: All smash attacks involve summoning a type of Mechon, which performs an attack. The side smash summons a class 80 Mechon, which does a multi hit swipe in front of Egil. The up smash summons an offensive series Mechon, which attacks twice above Egil. The down smash summons a defensive series Mechon, which does a low attack. Neutral B: Homing Missiles. Egil slowly rises into the air, and sends out 5 large energy shots that home in on nearby enemies. Must wait at least 10 seconds between uses. Side B: Grand Ether Bullet: Egil sends out an energy shot with a similar arc to Arcfire, but more flat. It will disable enemies specials for 2 seconds after hitting. Up B: Egil hitches a ride on a class 30 Mechon. Think Snake's up B from Brawl. Down B: Manufacture Drone. Egil summons one of several kinds of Mechon. The Mechon are: Class 40: Walks forward. Explodes if it comes into contact with an enemy. Class 50: Walks forward. Attacks with its scythe-like arm if it comes into contact with an enemy. Class 60: Patrols a small area. Does an exceptionally powerful attack upon meeting an enemy. Sticks around for about 6 seconds. Final Smash: Yaldabaoth. Egil summons his Faced Mechon; Yaldabaoth, and gets inside. It lasts about as long as Giga bowser, and has very powerful attacks. If the Final Smash is done on the Bionis Leg stage (what you would know as Gaur Plain), it works a bit differently. After getting into Yaldabaoth, he disappears into the background. Soon after, the Mechonis in the background starts moving, and performs Bionis Slash X, which inflicts Infinite damage to everything (basically an instakill. Since that stage is already banned, there's no reason there can't be another thing to make it further banned. Plus, Ryu has 2 final smashes, so Egil could have 2 as well). Bonus: When defeating Shulk in a vs match, his victory taunt is: "Your blade… It did not cut deep enough.", which is tribute to this cutscene at about 1:02: (DO NOT WATCH UNLESS YOU WANT SPOILERS).
