New Character: Viewtiful Jow

[Kriven]

Name: Viewtiful Joe
Company: Capcom
Game: Viewtiful Joe

Viewtiful Joe has two forms, VJ and then just normal Joe. Normal Joe is a weak whimp, and some of his stats are lowered. Not only this but he has NO special attacks while being Joe. Luckily the Joe form can only be aquired one way and it only lasts 10 seconds. Normal Joe also has only one jump.


V-Joe's Taunts:

Up Taunt: Shouts "WOOHOO!" and flexes

Side Taunt: Plays with the V-Watch.

Down Taunt: "WOOOH!" does an air somersault.

Joe's Taunts:

Up Taunt: Slams on the V-Watch manically, trying to become V-Joe.

Side Taunt: Fiddles with the V-Watch then swings his arms to his sides and glumly mutters "Henshin a no-no, Baby."

Down Taunt: Attempts to perform the air somersault, but messes up.


Entrance: Norml Joe drops from above, shouts "HENSHIN A GO-GO, BABY!" and becomes Viewtiful Joe.

Up B: Slow Mo - And this is how you become Normal Joe. The attack causes Viewtiful to slow time temporarily, this also increases the height he jumps so use it strategically to recover. Holding the B button will keep time slowed until the button is released or you use too much energy and become Joe.

B: Voomerang - Pressing B will cause VJ to pull out a Voomerang. After this it's essentially like Link's arrows, the longer you hold the B button, the farther he throws the Voomerang. Voomerangs do not return to Joe.

Smash B: Mach Speed - VJ will charge forward in a manner exactly like Fox Illusion. The difference comes in if you contact a foe. Instead of simply passing them by and tossing them upwards, Joe will unleash a series of blindingly fast combos.

Down B: Shocking Pink! - VJ drops one of his bombs, run, the bomb cannot be moved from where it's dropped.

Final Smash: Lag - Viewtiful Joe will use his powers of time manipulation to make all other players, stage obstacles and items move at 1/8th their normal speed. This gives him an advantage, as he will move at normal speed. The attack WILL NOT revert him to Joe. The attack lasts 10 seconds.

This was a quick rough-submission, since my mom is pestering me to go to bed >_>

Alright, so, I understand your reason for bailing, it happens to me alot too. However, now is a good time to edit it with the finer tuning, for example, how long one can use Slow Mo before V-Joe goes back to Joe.

My only concerns with the actual submission are really in what you've failed to do and in V-Joe's Up-B. How does Slow Mo work exactly? For example, does he do a jump attack after the time edit? Also, does Slow Mo slow down time around him so he goes at a regular speed or increase his speed so that everyone else stays at regular speed? Can Slow Mo be used on the ground in the same way as Link's or DK's Up-B (as in, it doesn't lift him off the ground)? Is Slow Mo even a recovery move to begin with? The move is really complex, so I need some details on it.

You're also missing the taunts and V-Joe's entrance.

I don't like this character idea at all. ^B, I agree with Shrikes. B's okay. >B I like. There's nothing wrong with the vB, I just don't like it. Final Smash is okay.

Details on Up B:

I've been thinking about this and my original idea was going to have him slow everything down, but I decided against it. Instead a pink sphere will surround him representing the area of time-distortion. Anything in the pink sphere is slower, lighter and can jump higher. Even in the air pressing Up B alone won't lift him, however his jumping height is doubled while inside the pink sphere, giving him some nice lift if used strategically. Yes it can be used on the ground with no lift, since it doesn't lift at all.

[Shrikeswind]

Ick. If it can't lift him, then he's gonna fall. If he hits Up-B and it's supposed to serve as an added ability to recover, it's useless if he runs out of jumps if it gives him no lift as well.

[Kriven]

He's a two jump character, it's not unheard of.

[Shrikeswind]

No, that's not the problem. It's the problem that the entire move is so out of it that it entirely slaughters instinct. It's hard to do for most players, making V-Joe have an insanely hard learning curve.
