[[OOC POST: Char's Moveset]]
Geez I hope I did a good job of making him balanced. |||orz
Charmeleon is the speed of the Green Team, having neither Blastoise's bulk nor Bulbasaur's tiny little nubs. He shines as an aerial fighter; his ground A moves are pretty terrible, really. His moveset changes depending on whether he's fighting with the rest of his team or on his own, so uh... yay for that?
He can also cling to walls, like Squirtle.
Ground A Attacks
Moves that don't involve Smashes or Special Attacks done on the ground
Neutral A Combo: Charmeleon slashes with one claw, then the other, then bites. Three-hit combo, not that special.
Forward Tilt: Charmeleon punches instead of slashing. Not exactly exceptional knockback.
Up Tilt: Charmeleon jabs up with his horn. A fast attack, but that's about all it has going for it.
Down Tilt: Charmeleon sweeps out with one foot. Short legs mean the reach isn't all that great.
Dash Attack: Charmeleon jabs out his claws.
Get-Up Attack: He stands up, swiping in front of him then behind him with his claws.
Ledge Attack: Char flips up onto solid ground, slamming his tail down as he goes.
Smash Attacks
Powerful chargable attacks that finish off foes with high damage.
Forward Smash: Charmeleon Charmeleon rams into the opponent headfirst. Not a bad KO move for Char.
Up Smash: Char looks up and spits out a small burst of fire. Decent reach, good knockback.
Down Smash: Charmeleon drops down and spins, lashing out with his leg in front of him, then behind. This hits twice; first with the leg, then with the tail when he switches sides. Pretty weak, as far as smashes go.
Aerial A Attacks
Attacks done while airborne.
Neutral Air: Charmeleon curls up and spins, leaving a trail of flame from his tail surrounding him. Hits on all sides. Similar to Lucas' neutral air.
Forward Air: Char twists in midair, lashing out with his tail.
Back Air: Like his forward air, except that Char does a full spin. This is one of his slower moves, but it has pretty nice KO potential.
Up Air: Charmeleon thrusts his horn straight up. Good for combos and that's about it.
Down Air: Charmeleon kicks both feet down at the same time. Meteor smaaash.
Grabs and Throws
Moves that utilize grabbing an opponent and tossing them elsewhere.
Grab: The usual grab. Char grips the opponent with them oversized hands of his. Pretty good reach for his size, thanks to his long arms.
Grab Attack: Char bites. Om nom nom.
Forward Throw: Similar to Mario's. Char spins once for momentum, then launches the foe. Easily his worst throw.
Back Throw: Also similar to Mario's. Charmeleon spins a few more times, breathing fire as he goes, then tosses the opponent.
Up Throw: Charmeleon simply tosses them upward. Not as fancy as the forward or back, but it's a good setup for aerial attacks and that's all you need.
Down Throw: PILEDRIVERRRR. Bounces enemies upward.
Special Moves
Moves used with the B button to create a variety of unique effects.
Neutral B: Flamethrower. Charmeleon's flamethrower bears more resemblance to Lucario's neutral B than Charizard's, however; he charges up then spits out a fireball. The charge can be saved up, but the more you charge it, the longer the delay after he fires it. Not quite as powerful as the other "chargers" (Lucario, Samus, DK, whatever).
Forward B: Fire Fang. This is similar to Diddy's forward B; Charmeleon launches himself forward and grabs onto the opponent, then pushes off after he bites. Can be tricky to aim and has virtually no knockback, but the damage is alright.
Up B: Aerial Ace. Charmeleon shoots from point A to point B in a straight line, and if you happen to be in the way you're going to be injured. You won't take damage, however, if you're at the starting or ending point. Sort of like Pikachu's Quick Attack meets Fox Illusion.
Down B: Green switches from Charmeleon to Blastoise.
* If Charmeleon is fighting alone, he instead uses Dragon Rage. This is a small shockwave of purple flame (about the radius of Charizard's down smash).
Final Smash
Ultimate moves used after getting a Smash Ball that change the tide to any battle.
Final Smash: Triple Finish. Charmeleon performs the Fire Blast part of it.
* If Charmeleon is fighting alone, he instead uses Flare Blitz. Yay for egg moves because I said so. This acts similar to Marth's Final Smash. Watch you don't use it close to the edge of the stage or you'll KO yourself ahurrhurr.
Misc. Moves
Things that don't have to do with attacks that every character still has.
*Dash: Charmeleon's speed is decent for somebody with such stubby little legs; he's the fastest of the Green Team. His running speed is about the same as Pikachu's.
*Jump: Charmeleon also has the highest jump of the Green Team, to compensate for his lack of wings.
*Double Jump: Not quite as high as his initial jump, but still pretty good.
*Shield: Red by default.
*Dodge Roll: Again, Charmeleon's dodge roll is the fastest of the Green Team's. Noticing a pattern?
*Spot Dodge: Standard stuff. Charmeleon does a gay little pivot to the side.
*Air Dodge: Same gay little pivot, just in midair.
Poses and Taunts
Fun little stuff that are done before, during and after matches.
*Introduction Pose: He bursts out of a pokeball. Standard Pokemon intro.
*Taunts:
Side: Charmeleon's tail flame billows up twice it's size for a brief instant and he roars at... whatever's in front of him.
Down: Charmeleon flexes his claws and bares his teeth, growling.
Up: Charmeleon yawns and stretches.
*Winning Poses:
- Charmeleon folds his arms, glaring at the camera for a moment before sharply turning his head to the side.
- Green pats Charmeleon on the head; Char wags his tail.
- Charmeleon loafs on his side, napping a la the anime.
Odds and Ends
Weird stuff some characters have or other things.
*Kirby Hat: Kirby has a horn, a little blazing tail, and angry eyebrows.
*Weight class: Depending on what Bulbasaur is, either a lightweight or a middleweight. 40 pounds, lol.
