Please let the final smash be the BFG9000

I feel like super shotty would make a better fsmash. Also, I made a specials moveset a while back, lemme see if I can track it down...

Edit: Found it

Also, if it wasn't obvious, support.

Defiantly supporting, I remember playing Doom for days on end a few years ago.

Support, haven't even played Doom lol

I'll SUPPORT. DOOM has always been a favorite

Supporting the character, because Doom is important to gaming history

Thats understandable, Pixel gore never really bothered me too much. But show me even a little cut in real life and i get really uneasy.

If I may give a suggestion for an Up-Air and Down air:

UAir: Doomguy jabs his chainsaw upwards. It traps opponents before launching them away
DAir: Doomguy pulls out a shotgun and shoots it downwards. It can meteor-smash opponents directly under Doomguy, and it can stall Doomguy in the air, similarly to ROB's DAir.

I'm too fucking poor for the new Doom, anything in it that might work for this set?

There are Finishers in that game that could work as Jabs, aerials, and Tilts, but I don't own the game, so I can't go into a full analysis.

I came up with a moveset.  Not sure if I should put it here or make a new topic.  Doomguy's main gimmick in my moveset is having different weapons to switch between.  I chose the (Super?)Shotgun, Chaingun, Rocket Launcher and Plasma Rifle, but I'm debating about reducing that to just Chaingun, Rocket, and Plasma since the Shotgun shows up so often in the rest of the moveset.

More thoughts:
I'm not sure what to think about Doomguy's mobility.  I'm thinking he should be very fast and very heavy, but I have no clue what he should be like in the air.  On one hand, the original Doom didn't even have a jump button, so I would think Doomguy should be as terrible in the air as Sm4sh's Little Mac.  On the other, he's leaping off jump pads and rocket-jumping in Quake 3, and 2016 DOOM gave him a double jump to work with.  So you could make the argument both for and against him being a great air fighter.  I'm not really sure which is more accurate.

(I also have an idea for Ranger (the Quakeguy) as Doomguy's alt. If such a thing were to happen, I think I'd make Ranger a lot better in midair than Doomguy, to reflect Quake's 3D trick-jumping roots and all.)

Another idea for an Up Special would be Doom 3's Grabber, having him use it as a grappling hook to pull himself up.

Another thing, I think Doomguy should be immune to some types of stun, particularly explosions. You're never really stunned in the Doom or Quake games, the screen turns red and shakes a bit but you can still fire and move. I think that should be reflected somehow - what good is a rocket-jump if you can't move after doing it? - but I'm not sure what degree of stun immunity would make him OP.

EDIT LOG:
(11/4/17) Changed the Chaingun and Plasma Rifle mechanics, explosion immunity, Grabber as USpec
