Boggy B (Worms) Discussion: Incoming!!!

CJ wrote:

what you think of a "wind" mechanic?, It could help to make Boggy B it even more unique?

It sounds pretty cool but how would it work in a Smash setting?

I'm not sure, maybe we could add a wind bar to the Boggy B HUD?, and the wind direction change from time to time

After looking at the moveset again, I'm not so sure about the wind mechanic. The u-tilt bow and bazooka are the only weapons that would be affected by wind, at least if we want to keep things canon.

As a side note, I kinda feel that the current Down B is a bit much. I think we should try limiting the amount of helpers to 4 max. If I were to choose 4 helpers I would say:
1. Sheep (moderate damage + detonator)
2. Skunk (poison)
3. Mad Cow (high damage)
4. Old Woman (highest damage + steady timing)

I had a hard time choosing between Old Woman and Inflatable Scouser (IS). The IS is more unique and gives potential to follow-ups but Old Woman is more iconic.

I guess you're right

Support, why not? I usually back up my supports, but I just like the idea of playing as a worm. He's pretty iconic too I suppose.

Great, Thanks Steve

I'd like to supply some reasons why Boggy B would be a worthy candidate in Crusade.

-The Worms franchise has been around for more than 20 years and is still going.
-The Worms franchise also had at least one game on every Nintendo console from the SNES to the Wii. They even had games on the handheld systems from the Game Boy to the DS.
-Boggy B would represent Artillery games, a genre that's not yet represented in Crusade or any Smash game for that matter.

If you like, you can add that to the OP, CJ.

Can we also add when ever Boggy uses a Ryu move he gains his headband? 'Cause doesn't that happen in the games?

Yep. That would be his Fire Punch and his Dragon Ball move.

Added, Thanks TaXMaN

Great, Thanks

Edit:
I Updated the moveset

Updated some things

I used to love worms and the moveset is great so I support!

In terms of the Up special, maybe you could have a aerial variant that changes it into the jetpack since it would be a little difficult to aim a airstrike while falling.

His new down special could be the sentry gun, black hole or bubble trouble.

Bubble Trouble could be used for Boggy's shield

And before I forget,I support Boggy's inclusion

The jetpack could be something unnecessary considering he has multiple jumps, But I will not deny that the Jetpack is quite iconic
I think it could work if we limited the jumps to three or four

Edit:Updated support list

Lmao. as hilarious as this is, i can only support how well thought out this is. Remove the wind mechanic thing to keep things consistent and we have an actual classic-projectile character user, such as very little to no mobility and an overwhelming projectile game plan. I would just like to consider stuff that wouldnt make characters like Fox holding Down B automatically win the waiting game.

Moveset updated!

I support this. Having a worms character is a neat idea!
For some weird reason, I think of a battle between Boggy B and Earthworm Jim. That'd be pretty fun.

Support list updated!

I was just waiting to see this somewhere. Absolute support from me!

Now, for some ideas of mine:
-I do think the wind mechanic is quite unnecessary. I mean, sure, it appears in the Worms games, but it doesn't need to be adapted to Smash.
-As of moveset, I'd make his Down Aerial the Pneumatic Drill and the Down Tilt could be the Blow Torch. Both attacks having a similar function of doing damage as long as the button is held down. And for the Dash attack, the Kamikaze attack could work just fine, it fits perfectly. (of course, Boggy B wouldn't die after using this)
-As a unique twist, for his alternate colors he could instead use many of the hats from many of the Worms games. As examples:
--Green military helmet
--Red headband
--White/Blue viking helmet (from whenever you use the Battle Axe in the Worms games)
--Yellow construction helmet (from whenever you use the Pneumatic Drill in the Worms games)
--Black pirate hat along with an eyepatch (somewhere in Worms 4 Mayhem)
-In terms of voice, his voice from Worms Blast could be used.

The problem with hats is that would take a lot of work, If there was a way that doesn't require so much work, it would be a great way to represent the characteristic personalization of the saga
Also i added your ideas and updated the support list!
