Vani La Ori

Vani La Ori makes the cut into Smack Studio! Using her giant gunscissors, she'll be sure to trim down those in her path.

Vani La Ori is a swordie with specials tied to her base limited bullet count of 2. Press B to reload once she has used up both of her bullets. Using Ultra will reload Vani's bullet count to 4, giving her 2 extra bullets, so you can extend combo strings with Up-B, Side-B, or Down-B, or you can open fire with Neutral-B. If you use Ultra when she has 4 or more bullets, she will gain 2 additional bullets instead.

All of Vani's Specials utilize bullets. Pressing B during any of these moves (except for Neutral Special) will give Vani an extra version of her Special moves. You can press B again and again as long as Vani has enough bullets. You can tell how many bullets she has based on her meter. (It has no maximum limit - You can gain additional bullets by parrying your opponent's attacks.)

When using any of her throws, you can press B on the Startup animation before the opponent is thrown to deal a stronger variation of that throw at the cost of 1 bullet. These versions of her throws do have kill potential on platforms.

Jab: Vani has a standard 3-hit combo, but each subsequent combo move will send Vani backwards.
Side Tilt: Vani can kick off platforms with this move designed to send opponents away.
Down Tilt: Spikes aerial opponents, but punts upwards grounded opponnts.
Up Tilt: Combo starter that punts up opponents.

Up Air: Snip snip!
Forward Air: Snip snip!
Backward Air: BONK
Neutral Air: BONK
Down Air: Lonk Down Air but she bounces up if she hits an aerial opponent, and lands if she hits a grounded opponent.

Forward Smash: SNIP SNIP
Up Smash: SWONK MCBONK
Down Smash: Her strongest Smash Attack but also the one with the least range and reach.

Neutral Special: Pew pew. Press B when out of bullets to reload!
Side Special: Movement option. Pressing B once will make her shoot and use the momentum for another Side-B. Pressing B again during this second B will make Vani do a horizontal spinning attack.
Up Special: Vani swings her Gunscissors as two separate blades. Pressing B once will give her an extra Up-B. Pressing B again will make Vani gain another Up-B, but she will spin endlessly until she lands. All Up-B moves put Vani into pratfall, unable to do any other inputs until she lands.
Down Special: Same as Side-B, but diagonally and with more spinning. Press B again to make Vani perform a controllable spinning attack. Press B again to launch the spinning Vani forward. The blast from this 2nd hit can kill.

Ultra: Vani's Ultra fires 9 bullets that home at a slow, reactable pace towards opponents. It also has a hitbox on her blade as she returns in place. It also reloads Vani's bullet count and gives her +2 extra bullets she can use freely.

Vani has 3 Taunts. If you press A or Taunt during her Taunt animation, it will show her beautiful MS Paint chibi form. If you press B duing her Taunt animation, Vani will do the Lain dance.

Future updates (Soonish):
- LAP functionality
- Proper, unique Forward Strong of a wide swing of her gunscissors horizontally
