Slugcat

Description
Slugcat, the Wanderer

-Neutral Special-
A radial selection menu.
Pressing and holding Neutral Special opens up a menu allowing you to directionally choose from four different weapons that Forward Special will use.
The options being: Spear, Rock, Explosive Spear, The Grenade
You spawn in with the regular Spear selected.


-Upward Special-
A super jump.
Quickly twirling his body, Slugcat takes to the skies by propelling himself into the air!
Not very high, though. Going into Pratfall after reaching his maximum height.


-Forward Special-
A selected item throw.
Throwing one of four different things...
The Spear: A medium sized projectile that when thrown spears to enemies and walls. If connecting with an opponent, it will stay on them for a long time. Hitting them will retrieve the spear.
If thrown and it lands the floor, it will be protruding out. It can be slapped around, allowing it to be hit into enemies!
When thrown into a wall, the spear will become a platform to stand on. Pressing and holding downwards into the spear while standing on the platform will make Slugcat hang from the spear.
Lastly, if the spear is stuck horizontally in a wall and you're next to it, hold Special, he will grab onto it and pull himself up.
The Rock: A small sized projectile that flies through the air, bouncing off of enemies that it hits.
When it hits the ground, it'll roll for a bit. After it stops, you can hit the Rock to launch it back into the air.
The Explosive Spear: The same as the regular spear, except has a delayed explosion after it connects with walls, floors or players, with a powerful knockback!
The Grenade: A small sized projectile that when connecting with walls, floors or players explodes on contact.


After throwing any of these weapons, there will be a cooldown on them before they are reset.
Trying to throw a selected weapon that is on cooldown will confuse Slugcat.


-Down Special-
A flip and spear.
Slugcat leaps up and away, throwing a spear downwards below himself, and eventually perching on top of the spear.
While perched, pressing down will make him shimmy downwards, as well as pressing attack button will make him do a sweeping attack.
You can jump off anytime, and jumping near it will make him perch back onto it.


-Unique Upward & Forward Strong-
A bombardment of explosives.
Reeling back, Slugcat throws a Cherrybomb. If it hits the floor it will flop around, pushing enemies away.
Although if it hits an enemy, depending on the direction it was flying, it will continue the momentum and carry them in the same direction, rapidly attacking along the way.

There are two charges of Cherrybombs, if you try to throw one without a charge, Slugcat will be confused.

It's handicapped on purpose, right? Very light, can't kill at all and for some reason huge hitstun. It's well made and polished, the moveset is pretty nice as well, but unfortunately the lil guy is not very fun to play as; would at least be a nice "challenge character" if it had any means to kill at least.

Love the lil' guy, but I've found a bug. on the climb down and climb up animations, it instead calls the fspecial hurtboxes... additionally, ow, 2.0 knockback value is agreeably nutty, I die from center stage at 40%
