Darth Vader

The Dark Lord of the Sith from Star Wars forces himself into Smack Studio! Darth Vader is a heavy, highly defensive character with access to slow but powerful attacks and medium-ranged stun moves. This is almost a 1:1 port of the original Darth Vader MUGEN character.

MOVESET:
NEUTRAL SPECIAL: FORCE BALL
Darth Vader shoots a force projectile that travels a short distance, briefly stunning any enemies it makes contact with during its travel.

SIDE SPECIAL: SABER THROW
Darth Vader flings his light saber like a boomerang, damaging enemies in its trajectory multiple times.

UP SPECIAL: FORCE RECOVERY
Darth Vader leaps into the air.

DOWN SPECIAL: FORCE PULSE
Darth Vader briefly stores force power inside of him. After a short delay, he expends this force energy in a circle around him, stunning and damaging enemies.

NEUTRAL ULTRA: DARK LORD ASSAULT
Darth Vader rapidly dashes forward in a straight line, then stops at the first enemy he makes contact with. He then begins to hit the enemy with a swift barrage of attacks that deal heavy damage to the foe.

SIDE ULTRA: FORCE BLAST
Darth Vader charges immense force energy and force lightning into his hands, then releases it as a large ball in front of him, which stuns and damages any foes.

DOWN ULTRA: FORCE BARRAGE
Darth Vader uses the force to gather various objects in front of him, then controls the objects to home in and hurl at nearby foes.

NOTES:
- As a large and heavy character, Darth Vader compensates his weakness of being easily comboed with large hitbox attacks and crowd control

KNOWN BUGS:

FUTURE UPDATES:
- Will be tuned in the future for balancing, specifically his damage and animation frames may be adjusted
