[Char] Nino

[Memento]

So today I started working on Nino (yay! :P) and I need to discuss stuff with y'all..

1. His run+attack is against the laws of physics :P He has way too less momentum to move that much, either we can 'increase his running speed by a bit' and/or 'lower the distance and speed of his slide kick'.. I'm personally thinking of doing both of them a bit to reach a satisfactory looking move.

2. As much as a I like the hold back powerup for ball, it doesn't look that good as he's stuck in a frame. what I suggest is :
Either make the bigger ball some other combination move (DvJ or something) or
Make the first 2 balls sharp hitters (less damage, but piercing that leaves opponents in Dance of pain but won't make them fall), after that pressing "A" again will launch the bigger ball. coz of "dance of pain" it'll be tough to escape that move.
(I wanna do the latter) :P

3. So what's next move for Nino? Any ideas?

1. doing both would be fine

2. Not sure if we communicated it in this topic, but as it disturbs the gameplay, the powerup will go out and we'll go for a more simple approach. We could make him simply shoot 2 smaller balls, both with fall: 60 and bdefend: 64 for example. New ball sprites would be good I think. He's using the small fading projectile atm, but that one was supposed to be quite weak, thus it also looks weak. Perhaps we should make it actual balls, like I suggested here

3. He needs a move that swipes multiple opponents. Original Nino had a powerful charged sliding attack. I suggest he starts with a charge (+- 1 second total), then a slide (+- 1 second total, to gain some distance) and immediately follows up with a powerful upward swinging kick (considering it is a charged kick, it can have some extra area of effect).
