Chosen Undead - Smash Bros. Ultimate Moveset

CHOSEN UNDEAD HAS BEEN SUMMONED TO SMASH

______________________________________________________

stage: Bonfire - a traveling stage themed around bonfires from a handful of locations in the game.

-starts at firelink shrine (flat walk off stage) for about 15 seconds. crestfallen warrior is visible in his usual spot. uses the bonfire warp screen distortion when warping between locations
- 1st warp is the bell tower with the undead parish in the background, it is a flat stage with a wall on one side. a gargoyle appears as a stage hazard.
-2nd warp is blighttown, a collection of several rickety platforms that can be destroyed, with more of blighttown and the ground floor visible in the background.
-final warp is anor londo, stage is the bridge (minus lift) with a flying buttress floating platform. There are anor londo archers in the background, who slowly but continuously shoot gigantic dragonslayer arrows at the fighters. the archers cycle uniformly between targets, so everybody gets a chance to be shot at even in 8-player smash.
-returns to firelink at 3 minutes.

battlefield and omega versions are based on firelink shrine and feature a bonfire in the center.

MOVESET

unique mechanic: roll attacks - chosen undead can do a quick neutral attack immediately after a roll.

up special - prowling demon - a prowling demon appears and grabs the chosen undead, lifting him upwards into the sky. you can drop out at will. if an enemy hits you out of it the demon will aggro, attacking them with its spear.

neutral special - 2-hand weapon/swap weapon - holding the button will put away your shield and allow you to 2-hand your primary weapon. this will make all of its attacks stronger at the expense of no longer being able to use the shield or its ability. your skill also changes to match the weapon that you are wielding. tapping the button will cycle your primary weapon, tapping it consecutively allows you to very quickly cycle to the desire weapon. primary weapons are shortsword, greatsword, spear, and staff. shortsword is small and weak but with respectable attack speed. greatsword is slower but stronger than the shortsword and with greater reach. spear is even longer than the greatsword and much weaker, however it has a very strong tipper mechanic. staff utilizes a variety of magical attacks, primarily flashsword for neutral and farron dart as the jab attack, with smash attacks being more powerful spells with wind-up and end lag as tradeoff. up smash: soul greatsword (overhead slash with magical blade),  side smash: soul arrow (shoots ranged projectile), down smash: hail (projectiles fall to the ground around you).

specific alt costumes, like solaire's set, use a talisman instead of a staff. the miracles function identically to sorceries, but are visually distinct to represent miracles. ex: lightning arrow = farron dart

Staff is instead a talisman when using solaire, he uses miracles instead of spells, which only changes the visual look of the attacks.

side special - skill - chosen undead will use one of multiple skills, depending on his weapon of choice and whether or not his shield is in use.
	shield - shield bash/block - tapping the button bashes the opponent with the shield, gaining superarmor and damage reduction during the animation. the bash does little damage but can knock opponents out of their attack animation, and combos into neutral, allowing it to function as a more hands-on "counterattack" when used effectively. holding down the button brings up his shield, gaining superarmor and damage reduction from the front only, for as long as you hold the button. while using the spear you can attack with the shield up, but with notable wind-up and end lag on the attack.
	shortsword - stance - tapping the button does a quick but weak attack that deals a large amount of shield damage. holding down the button does a slower 2-hit combo with decent knockback.
	greatsword - stomp - tapping the button does a quick stomp that interrupts and pushes back the opponent. holding down the button follows up with a very slow superarmor attack with very good knockback.
	spear - charge - tapping the button does a slow stab with the spear; enemies hit by the tipper are command grabbed and slammed against the ground. holding down the button transitions into a running charge attack that deals multiple ticks of damage and pushes the opponent backwards.
	staff/talisman - steady chant - tapping the button, after a short wind-up, increases the damage of your next magical smash attack. holding down the button, after a longer wind-up, upgrades your next magical smash attack to a superior dark version of the spell with more range and damage.

down special - ???

final smash - chaos storm - gigantic pillars of molten flame erupt around you periodically for several seconds. the pillars leave large pools of lava behind that deal damage to enemies when walked on.
