Metal Overlord (Mugen) Ideas

-----------------
Metal Overlord
For Mugen
-----------------

Metal Overlord (the final boss of Sonic Heroes), in M.U.G.E.N, is meant to be a boss character which emulates the "Apocalypse" style of fighter (mimicing Apocalypse's final boss appearance at the end of the X-Men arcade fighting game - characters who use the "Apocalypse" style include G-Akiha, Oars, and Rainbow Nanaya (in 2p and 3p)), as well as incorperating an attack style from the Red Dragon/Synn from the Dungeons & Dragons arcade beat-em-ups.

As his status as a final boss, Metal Overlord has higher stats than most fighters.
Life: 1750
Meter: 5000
Attack: 100*
Defense: 120
* While Metal Overlord's attack stat is the same as a regular character, his attacks do more set damage to compensate.
Additionally, like a large number of "boss" characters, Metal Overlord has super armor for the entire fight. However, if Metal Overlord is attacked enough within a short time period, then he will temporarily become stunned, and open for uninterupted attack.

Intro:
Neo Metal Sonic stands on a structure in the background. A close-up of him appears, before stating -
"All living things... kneel before your master!"
After this, he does the same thing as in Heroes - Lightning bolt, massive explosion. Transformation sequence is made a _lot_ quicker, skipping the Metal Madness phase, and, once complete, Metal Overlord flies up offscreen before coming back down on whichever side he's on (left for blue, right for red).

Outro:
Rounds before final win: States one of three quotes:
"See me as I am, no longer afraid of anything!"
"I shall become the ultimate overlord, ruling as the world's most supreme being!"
Or simply laughing

Final round win: Laughs, rises up from his place. States -
"How appropriate to have a robot overlord rule a robot kingdom!"
- and flies towards the screen, laughing again as the screen cuts to black.

Rounds before final loss: States one of two quotes:
"This victory shall soon turn into despair!"
"It's too late..."

Final round loss: Pulls the whole death scene in Heroes -
"GUUOOOOGH! WHY?! I HAD IT ALL! I AM THE ULTIMATE OVERLORD, METAL SONIC! I AM THE REAL SONIC...!"
- and falls out of view, followed by a "THOOOOOOM" sound and the screen shaking

Timeout loss (Is this possible?)
Looks down and states -
"It's no use... but why can't I defeat you?"

Attacks:
"Burn to death!" - Metal Overlord activates his flame arm and spews a volley of flame across the stage for a few seconds. Avoided by running to the far left/right, depending on what side he's on.
"Get away!" - Metal Overlord fires his fingers from his actual hand. When these fingers hit the ground, they create a sphere of crystal that shatters after growing to full size. If it hits the opponent, it will trap them and stun them, leaving them open for attack. Will auto-release after 5-7 seconds to prevent scams.
"I'll skewer you!" - Metal Overlord fires spines off his back, which create a crystal spike upon hitting the ground. If touched, they deal a sizable amount of damage and shatter. They disappear over time, but can also be broken with an attack.
"Hmph..." - Metal Overlord sweeps his tail across the ground. Knocks opponents down if it hits. Unblockable. Avoided by jumping.
"TAKE THIS!" - Metal Overlord leans back and shoots a ball of energy out of his chest cavity.
No quote - Simple swipe attack with either hand.
"I'll tear you to pieces!" - Grab attack. If successful, Metal Overlord swings his arm and dunks his opponent into the ground.

Supers:

"All life form data... has been successfully copied!" - 2000 meter. Launches 1-3 grey blobs (spits them out?) that transform into copies of Heroes characters, which harass the opponent. They die off after a certain amount of time or if the opponent deals decent damage to them. Uses sprites from here - https://www.spriters-resource.com/custom_edited/sonicthehedgehogcustoms/sheet/18318/ in terms of the transforming sludge (and don't forget to credit the spriter in the readme file, you dipshit!), might just be Team Sonic clones if complications arise in too many characters + randomness.

"I'll crush you!" (Idea 1) - Metal Overlord flies under the stage and rises back up with a battleship, before throwing it. The opponent must attack the battleship before it pushes them to the edge of the stage (or after a certain amount of time on long/infinite stages). If the ship reaches the end of the stage/takes too long to be destroyed, it will explode and deal an incredible amount of damage. Unblockable.

"I'll crush you!" (Idea 2) - 3000 meter. Metal Overlord flies under the stage and rises back up with a battleship, before throwing it. Fullscreen, can be stopped if specific "weakpoints" are hit before a certain time period. Deals lots of damage if not blocked, and still does decent chip damage.

*Roar* - 4000 meter. fires a MASSIVE laser from his chest cavity. Has startup lag and can be interupted before it fires, but once it does, it's unstopable. Does an absurd abount of damage if not blocked or avoided and does decent chip damage, but once it's over Metal Overlord will need to pause and recharge for a short time.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" - Exactly what it says on the tin. Only usable after one round loss and with full meter. Works like ZA WARUDO - The opponent freezes in time, while Metal Overlord is able to move freely and attack as he wishes. Lasts 5-10 seconds, disables meter gain for the rest of the round like Gill's Resurrection super.

(Posting this publicly to share with others, and while I WOULD like to create this at some point, if you think you can use my ideas in a character, Metal Overlord or not, then go ahead. Just please give me credit, okay? Thanks! ~DevilsLeftHandMan)
