wow this guy really isn't being worked on many more :'(

I'm kind of sad that this ain't worked on anymore. The concept is cool, especially given how much trouble Loxodont has caused in canon, but given how two attacks are instant kills, I'm still hoping that this gets picked up and re-balanced so that we can have this guy playable

This is a damn shame, this is one of those characters that you feel should have belonged in the game.

So idk if anyone else is having this glitch, but everytime his wall is put up just being near him causes the enemy to take constant damage.

One more idea, he could be the perfect candidate for a Rivals character to have a flame-thrower type move like Bowser or Charizard. He'd fire it from his Trunk, and you could angle it up or down. It would synergize well with his drones, allowing you to wall out enemies temporarily to let your drones come back around support you. If you catch an opponent near you with it it'd do a lot of damage, like Bowser in Ultimate.

Also, I think it'd be really cool if his character select/victory art was based on the pose he takes after defeating Clairen in her reveal trailer, one hand outstretched with a palm full of flame.

I really love the idea of Loxodont being in the game, and the sprites aren't too bad for a WIP, but the moveset really needs some work. There doesn't seem to be a central mechanic or theme like with most high quality workshop characters (Astra's cards, Kris' TP Meter). I think before you worry about sprite quality or balance, you need to plan out his moveset and think about how all his different moves will work together.

Perhaps have him as THE heavy character for Rivals, having a x0.8 knockback multiplier. To make him feel like a playable boss, his main gimmick could be that he can send out robotic drones to assist him in battle. Think Gargos from Killer Instinct 2016.

To make them not spammable, he could also have a power meter you need to manage, which fits his character since he's mechanical. How you'd fill it I'm not sure, but in any case it could be required to create his drones, and also be used for his strong attacks which are weakened when it's empty.

Gonna sound like everyone else as well. I like the character :) Good idea with good sprites and interesting moves. However, some attacks do TOO much damage, especially with the relatively low risk to use them. Really like the character though
PumpkinGuts 26 Apr, 2020 @ 8:01pm 
I don't wanna sound like everyone else, but the character does way to much damage. he's cool, he's fun, but the damage is whack. I also have to point out that the F-special doesn't really fit the character, I would change it to a dash punch that is most powerful behind Loxodont to directly rival clairen. overall i'm hyped to see this character finished, keep up the good work :)
SlapHD 18 Apr, 2020 @ 3:32pm 
Yea i agree with snom
Dextra_24703 18 Apr, 2020 @ 7:32am 
forward special for now is way to much of a hinderence for loxo. maybe rethink that idea.
CerealSSBU 16 Apr, 2020 @ 9:53am 
ok after further testing WHY DOES HIS UP B DO OVER 100%?
CerealSSBU 16 Apr, 2020 @ 9:46am 
ok, his moves do WAY too much damage and knockback. Lower the damage quite a bit, and make him a good deal faster, then I think this character would be great. Sprite is great for a WIP character, so keep it up!
JiJ 15 Apr, 2020 @ 11:19am 
Yeah I won't lie this is kinda neat. Smoothen animations a bit, maybe nerf him a bit so you can't just get a one-hit with his strong for balance, and you have something pretty cool here.
SPLITZER64 15 Apr, 2020 @ 7:18am 
He's fun to play as. I think you should make him a bit faster but everything else seems pretty good. Keep up the good work
The Robotic Fox 12 Apr, 2020 @ 6:51pm
