LETS INVENT MOVE VARIANTS AND NEW STUFF FOR LOCUST GUY :D (for fun)
every time people talk about new ideas for existing characters, locust guy always gets brought up, but i never see ideas for him, so i think it would be fun if we all came together and were clever with new ideas for locust guy :D (the lil MIT researcher deserves some love)
this is a community discussion, i want all of us to come together and think of cool ideas, so if your gonna comment, make sure its talking about what can be added as a good idea, instead of what shouldnt be added because its a bad idea. but criticism is allowed ofcourse
making ideas is super easy, it just requires imagination, it shouldnt matter if it didnt happen in canon, and there is no such thing as "nothing you can add to him".
the ideas im about to give are just ideas, meant to give out inspiration for your own ideas, so they arent balanced out. if you like anyone of them, please tell.
all i want is for us to talk about potential ideas for him :D, so, be clever
my piches for ideas:
- locust guy has 4 arms right? so, when using wing throw, i think it would be cool if locust guy could use other moves while using it, like crushing jaws or clever. or it could be part of a combination variant (like hakaris 1+2 or todo's black flash)
- or while flying with his wings, he could use other moves and vice versa, so while using clever, you can then use R and fly towards your enemy, or fly towards an enemy while wing throwing to have it easier to land.
- or you can throw enemies with wing throw into walls to deal damage to them, with the higher you are the more damage they will take from the impact with the ground
- maybe make crushing jaws be multi press move like Naoya's decisive strikes, so it can be used for combo extending or something.
- make black mucus 360 degree aimable in while in the air
- make black mucus chargable so it can be used to spam like ryus or mechamarus beams, maybe charging it can increase the distance it travels or the duration of its poison debuff.
- make the debuff from black mucus activate different variants, maybe biting a poisoned enemy with crushing jaws causes a variants where you immediately throw them into the air with the second bite instead of the third bite, or maybe just deals more damage (kinda like how insects cover their prey with acid before consuming them, unlike other animals who have stomachs with the acid)
- maybe make locusts R special double use when used just for mobility (not combo extending), like Naoya's R special. or make it so you can hold down the R ability to fly longer in exchange for ult.
- air variants where he crushes into the ground, like mahito, charles, yuji and hakari, for an air-comboer its strange he doesnt have one, maybe looking down while using clever, causes him to do a downwards pounce that breaks the floor
- grabbing an enemy with wing throw and then be able to scrape them into the floor like Gojos 3+R variant.
since hes a base only character, you can get away with him using R in exchange for balancing certain moves, like yuki and her R special.
passives you could give him:
a double jump,
a float (like princess peach in smash bros),
the ability to m1 while blocking cause of his four arms, but they are weaker m1s.
a mario jump where holding down the jump button makes him jump higher.
make him bigger since he was pretty big in the anime
R special breaks threw walls cause he broke lots of walls by flying threw them.
visual additions:
when you and the enemy are in the air after R, your character wont just be floating there, locust guy would be holding you with his second pair of arms.
evasiving as locust guy has his wings flap a little bit
you dont have to read these ideas, just come up with your own :D
