Arthur, The Astral Hero

by first time on uncut's, a spriting that few match, a smoothness that everyone harmonizes with, and a name that is well know by now
Zilch Posts An EXPANSION!
well, here's Arthur, the astral hero, the blue whirlwind, the noble hero and one of the master of spiritual arts, arrived the second flashing smashBrawl.

he's a versatile fighter but his usage is not so easy, his key attack can turn smashes into projectiles and deal lots of damage, he also controls wind so is a all-around swordfighter, his jump capabilities are very good since one of his air attacks lets him return to land as he attacks and has a good recovery, but itself without its recharging is a light fighter.
Motions:
any of blue color implies his special charge properties
any of cyan color implies is wind control properties

Smashes

19.Neutral
20.Combo:four single blows:if charged with neutral special this attack has a longer range(no projectiles) and does higher damage.
21.[]Up Smash:a jumping slash:if charged with neutral special, it launches a ''spirit edge'' projectile.
22.[]Side Smash:piercing blow:if charged with neutral special, it launches a ''spirit pierce'' projectile
23.[]Down Smash:sword attack that hits the floor:if charged with neutral special, it does a shockwave as he hits the floor with his blade, this attack has dizzy effects
24.[]Dash Attack:piercing blow at higher range: if charged with neutral special, this atack launches a spirit pierce at a higher speed than forward smash

Specials

25.Neutral Special:this attack is the key attack of using arthur
the attack may hit at any direction, as he moves back his sword the user can map any directional button to switch the direction of the attack

Also this attack(as i said before)charges arthur with energy, this energy can be used to turn smashes into lethal strikes or launch a projectile, any of the options is good

after an attack has been done or after 15 seconds after charge, the special charge is down and has to recharge again, also the recharge increases arthur speed and jump capabilities
26.[]Side Special:this one charges as well, but not tied to neutral special charge at all:this one attacks with wind pulse through a single slash, and if charge is complete lauches a twister that may deal some knockbacks
27.[]Up Special:a wind push that moves upwards and makes him also fall slowly
28.[]Down Special:spirit grenade


Aerials

29.[]Neutral Aerial:neutral attack, but in midair(unaffected by neutral special so if performed charge does not go out).
30.[]Up Aerial:a slashing attack completely diagonal upwards(same as neutral aerial)
31.[]Forward Aerial:horizontal slash that moves forward(same as up aerial)
33.[]Down Aerial:nice kick to anyone unlucky on the floor(same as all previous aerial attacks)
32.[]Back Aerial:this attack does no damge actually, is good for recoveries, atur does a third jump backwards like a flip: also if charged with neutral special this attac at the end of the flip shoots a spirit pierce from the tip of his blade, a very useful attack if used correctly

Grabs

34.[]Grab:grabs wit his free hand
35.[]Pummel:hits on heds with the handle of the blade
36.[]Up Throw:slashing strike(the same sprite as neutral special+up)
37.[]Down Throw:holds te foe high and hits it with a vertical slash
38.[]Forward Throw:wind pulse
39.[]Back Throw:horizontal spin slash that sends back the foe

50.[]Final Smash:ExaForz Quazar:this attack uses a different energy from his usual astral energy, the exaforz is a hidden art that provides the user of limitless energy, however few people have sucesfully had them in grasp quthout being consum in energy, this attack uses the exaforz to create a massive sized tornado of energy that forces enemies on it, if you get struck on it the chances of surviving it are about the time you are inside it, the tornado lasts 9 seconds of a beautiful yet deadly spectacle and it may do up to 120% damage, 65% is the regular quantity of damage you may take and te damage is decreased by the number of players in it.

Love it

Great customs. Almost in numbers heavier than mine too.

Zilch, I dun think you have to go through acception. Very nice.
The Idle could do with some hair movement and the shoulder pads are little strange in movement.
But very good.

Epic as always bud.

You need to re animate the second animations in both the combo & neutral special, they need to stay in place.

do i really have to?, that would make them look like it's moving back, well guess i'll do them.

Gah, the smoothness of these animations on this site hurts my eyes. *goes into expansion acception* Ah, much better.

However, I do have to note that not everything is animated to perfection, just as GTG mentioned earlier.

So smooth..Epic.

,:] thanks there

Are the sprites custom or edited?

believe it or not, they're 100% custom

The last charge frame and projectile could be better.

The arm that's finished shading has problems, it looks like someone dented his bone that connects from his elbow to his shoulder.

Well I have to point out the problems so you can fix them :<
Also, better shading than what I use since I just sort of shade randomly.

I fricking love this so far... especially the combo.
