Adeline (Kirby) Discussion

Today's Special Attack Moveset has been brought to you in Part by professorfandango!

Granted Adeleine has only appeared in one game (Kirby 64) but she's a very interesting character - not only is she the only human character in the entire Kirby saga but she can make direct reference to other characters that deserve a bigger role but have no way of being playable:

Standard Attacks

See Captain Olimar

Smash Attacks

Paint: Derived somewhat from Kirby's Paint ability, and also the paint can in Kirby's Air Ride this glob of colour will blind an opponent, momentarily reversing their controls. Useful for edge guarding!

Special Attacks

B: Co Kracko For a while my Adeleine moveset involved concepts from Power Paintbrush and made up stuff, but since her whole deal is painting things which come to life I felt this was a good idea. Here she paints a Co Kracko which floats sideways slowly before dissipating.
up+B: Dynachick For her recovery she paints a Dynachick and clings onto it as it flutters her to safety and disappears.
side+B: Canvas Curse Think the Nitro Wheel from Megaman 10, except a clay ball is rolling on a trail she draws.
Down B: Whispy Woods Jr. Painting it on the ground, the sprout erupts from the ground, dealing damages and launching upwards. These three attacks take three well known Kirby bosses (who are too cumbersome to be playable) and transposes them into attacks. Of course for the sake of downscaling, young versions of the bosses (all of which are actual enemies) are used.
Final Smash: Mr. Bright & Mr. Shine These two haven't been around much lately and even in their early appearances they only used this attack once - a shame since it was the most interesting weapon in their arsenal. Adeleine paints copies of the sun and moon monsters who then leap into the sky. Mr. Bright remains static and Mr. Shine stays on an orbital path around him, but also following Adeleine. After a few moments Mr. Bright overheats wildly and engulfs the entire field in flames! The only safe patch is the shadow that Mr. Shine casts directly over Adeleine so in those brief moments any opponents will have to try to fight their way into the shade.

Congratulations! You've made the most topics and won the prize! Are you happy?
Put some actual thought into your suggestions. It's great to see you are capable of copying and pasting but it's not what we're looking for.

As of now you are prohibited from creating any more character suggestion topics for one week. (11/14/14)
You can use this time to create some movesets on your own. This isn't a contest.

Hey! She's an Integral Part of the BitF Cast, Bro!

might as well have eario to round out the cast

She hasn't been in a game since her debut.
Not counting the 20th Anniversary, where she was still only a part of the game she debuted in.
Even then, being in an unofficial web comic doesn't mean much. I mean even with that popularity if you want to bring BiTF into this, she should be placed in after King Dedede. Who's like the real star of the entire comic.

The moveset is pretty lackluster, and there's a whole lot more to one than just the specials and Final Smash.
When you simply say 'look at x's moves' for normal attacks and just copy off someone else's moveset you just look you don't truly care about the character and think Crusade's dev team just wants to stuff as many characters as possible. If you would look at the roster, you would see that they're trying to added new unique ideas into the smash formula, not just adding in a bunch of filler with one gimmick in each character and call it a day. I mean there has to be a reason why the latest demo took two years to complete, right?
If you want people invested in the idea, you need to show interest in it yourself. Look at the Shantae topic and see the amount of thought put into the original post. If you show no interest in the characters you suggest, nobody will share interest in the character either.
So my advice to you is to:
A) Think of a video game character that's appeared on a Nintendo platform that you'd love to see in the Smash formula.
B) Spend some time thinking of how they could fit in the Smash formula, while being unique from existing fighters in both the official release and Crusade.
C) Then share your thoughts in a paragraph per move. Normal attacks and grabs aren't necessary, but they would certainly help. Those naturally don't have to be a paragraph long, but a description of the action is much better than just saying it's a ripoff of another character's move.

Words to live by...

If you want a good look at how it should be done, check out my Layton topic:
https://projectcrusade.forumotion.com/t3573-professor-layton-professor-layton-discussion
(Though it could be improved if I had pictures for every move...)

Admittedly, I get lazy in some topics (Beat just has specials, Maxwell has nothing but he's kind of a special case), but Layton is one of the best topics here.


Back to the topic at hand...

I actually like Adeleine. Though she would be the 6th Kirby character (Behind Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, Waddle Dee, and Gooey) and she has only appeared in one game, she would bring a paint-based character to the game. The other obvious paint character (Bowser Jr) ended up in a clown car instead. Attacks involve painting things to aid her and painting the battlefield in general, creating damaging zones that opponents have to avoid. Only one special should involve painting an ally (neutral).

I might work on a full moveset later to show her true potential.
