Riki

Description
Riki fights with hot-blooded passion!

Riki is Kunio's echo fighter. The concept of all his moves are the same as Kunio's, but most of
them have minor or major differences.
So his combos may but different as well.

If you want the classics NES feel, (or simply don't like the shading,) there is a button on the css
where you can toggle the shading.

--- Specials ---

Grounded NSpecial: Command Grab
All of Riki's NSpecial throws have different properties compared to Kunio's:
Attack - An untechable, downward throw into the floor (or bottom blastzone.)
Special - Throws the opponent forward. This throw is also untechable.
Strong - A powerful slam that deals high damage and knockback, while also sending the opponent backwards.

Grounded FSpecial: Lion's Leap
The leap is higher then Kunio's, but doesn't travel as far. The hand swipe freezes any hit opponents in place and
also bounces Riki back.

Grounded USpecial: Dragon Feet
The move speed is slower, and the jump during the attack is higher.

Grounded DSpecial: Signaling Hand
The hand thrust sends opponents behind and the headbutt sends opponents downward, burying them.

Aerial NSpecial: Stalling Surprise
Sends opponents upward instead of forward upon successfully countering.

Aerial FSpecial: Phasing Feet
Forward movement is a bit slower, but up and down movement is faster. Riki kicks less then Kunio, but if he hits someone,
not only does it remove pratfall, but Riki can also cancel out of it after the final hitbox.

Aerial USpecial: Rising Fist
The upward momentum it gives is the same as Kunio using this, but the spin kick will send Riki forward instead.

Aerial DSpecial: People's Elbow
Riki does not fall faster when using this, nor does the damage increase, but if he lands a hit, he can cancel into a different action.

Final Smash: Izuna Drop
Riki does the same dash and punch Kunio does to start it off, but instead of a series of punches, Riki grabs the opponent and slams
them on the floor after a large leap into the air. If Riki were to fall into the blastzone, the attack will end before he gets there.

--- Other Things to Note ---

Riki has 3 taunts.

Riki comes with custom ai where higher levels will understand how certain moves work.

Riki expression on his hud changes depending how hard he's hitting someone or getting hit. Parrying also affects this.

Some of Riki alternate costumes have special sound effects to them, which are signified by an icon at the bottom right of his character select portrait.

I've never actually played River City: Rival Showdown. So most of the special move names are actually made up.

@SonicZuki Alright, I buffed 'em. Hopefully it's good.

Kunio & Riki are decent but to be honest they need a buff because they are kinda weak every move set even there smash attacks are weak
