New Character: Condor

[Kriven]

Name: Condor
Game: Ice Climbers

Redesign: As seen in the Ice Climber's stage entrance, though he's slightly larger.

Abilities: Condor can use the Glide ability.

Other: This isn't a submission for Brawl, just a "would-be-cool-in-Smash" submission. I always viewed the Condor as an antagonist, and the main enemy of Ice Climbers. It always seemed to me that he had stolen the climbers food and they were trying to recover it.

Entrance: An Eggplant falls from above and Condor swoops down and catches it.

Taunt: Stretches his wings, turns to the sky and screaches triumphantly.

Stats:

Size: 6/10
Weight: 7/10
Speed: 6/10
Traction: 4/10
Strength: 7/10
Jump: 5/10
Fall: 6/10


Specials Attacks:

Up B: Hurricane Hawk - Essentially a clone of Link's Up B, using his wings instead of a sword. However it differs in that he becomes a tornado of frozen winds.

B: Frostwind Falcon - Flaps wings, blasting a freezing wind forward.

Side-B: Freeze Eagle - Slams his beak into the ground, forcing a large ice stalagmite upward. Foes that get slammed by his beak will be buried, but not in rock like with DK's side-B, but with ice that freezes them and drains their health the longer they stay buried.

Down B: Vulture Vice - Grabs enemies and wraps them with his wings. A brief motion and he flips his wings open, launching the frozen foe outward.

Final Smash: Harvest - Condor will flie around the stage freely, controlled by the Control Stick. From anywhere you can drop two things: Topis or Eggplants. Topis do less damage, but stay on the stage longer and Eggplants knock foes incredibly high upwards.

Not sure, since he's never seen walking. I like the idea, but let's hear your excuse: How would he operate (move, hold items, hold people, hold the stage, etc.)?

[Kriven]

He'd walk like a real bird would, except a little more menacing looking and with shorter legs (and less bobbing necks.)

He seems to be skilled with holding things in his talons, as such he flies when he is holding items or people, as for stage grabbing, he'd use his wings and fold them over the flat of the stage.

As for basic attacks, single talon scratches, wing smacks, quick pecks and other various techniques. His grab-attack would be to peck the foe (like a bird pecking it's carried meal to make it stop moving.)

[Shrikeswind]

So, he'd grab enemies by pecking them, then throwing their stunned body?

[Kriven]

Pretty much, yes.

Hm. Well, I like it. Moveset will be renamed, but...
