Shikamaru

I figured that seeing as Shikamaru finally got a decent sheet, I'd make him an expansion. Don't expect Shikamaru to be the usual Naruto character with the same Teleport and Kunai moves, he'll be alot different.

Neutral Special: Shadow Possession Jutsu
This is Shikamaru's most famous attack, it doesn't do damage on it's own, but using a strategy it's devastating. Once it connects to the foe they are completely trapped. Shikamaru can then control them. For example if Skikamaru taunts then the enemy taunts, if he uses his Side Special the enemy uses his Side Special. The way to use this to their advantage is to use a technique that due to the moveset differences will hit the foe before it hits you. If you press the Neutral Special again he throws a Kunai. The Jutsu is cancelled if you jump or if the characters cross positions (For example, if you you the Side Special when trapping Ichigo, Ichigo will disappear and reappear behind Shikamaru, breaking the Jutsu. This Jutsu also doesn't last long, so act fast.

Side Special: Paper Bomb
Shikamaru throws a bomb, it'll stick to whatever it touches, be it foe or floor. It sticks for about 2 seconds before blowing up. It if hits the foe or floor, and after it comes in contact with another enemy (Or even Shikamaru) before it blows up then it'll stick to the other person.

Down Special: Shadow Neck Bind
Shikamaru casts a shadow that grbs the enemy and chokes them, minor damage and low knockback, but it puts the foe to sleep.


Up Special: Spirit of Asuma
Shikamaru delivers an uppercut with Asuma's Trench Knife, pulling him upwards. The ghost of Asuma also appears behind him, but it doesn't affect the range or anything, it's purely decorative.


Final Smash: Shadow End Game
Shikamaru makes 9 paper bombs attatched to shadows restrain the enemy, he then throws a cigarette at the paper bombs, blowing the enemy away!

Nice! Moveset seems good.

Down Special could be Shadow sewing Jutsu:Shikamaru launches a dozen shadow spikes from his shadow, to penetrates all foes in it path, but range is limited, and can only be performed when Shadow Possession Jutsu is complete.

Oh and nice job with the idle, and sprite sheet find.

...Could you edit the idle and add more motion? Come on, arms should be less stiff, hair should move. At the very least. You could add a whole lot more.

K, just a bit creeped out.

Yeah, I'll probably give that a go soon. I won't change the hair though, not only do I suck at hair, but no other part of the expansion has the hair moving, so it wouldn't fit the style.

Also, I'm adding some more stuff.

STOP STARTING EXPANSIONS.

No.

FS should be that move he used to kill blow up Hidan.

Why is it that his clothes have like no movement at all.

Maybe, it depends on how cool it'll look. If so I'll make the current FS the Down Special.

In the idle, the only movement is in his right hand and the ankles. His knees should be the part bending, not the shins.

As I already said I'll fix it, just later.

Also, I think I finally have a full moveset, I'm writing out the Up Special now.

UPDATE: Added some more stuff.

I'm quite enjoying this sprite style, I can see me making Itachi in this style after Shikamaru.

Another little update.

Also, I just got the idea of renaming Chakra Trench Knife to Spirit of Asuma, anyone agree?

I don't see why the name matters at all.

Spirit of Asuma does sound cooler...

Minor Update: Added things like Hang and some Misc stuff.
