Dark Link and Master Chief

[isaiahk9]

In my fighter game, which two would be the best moves for dark link :
A) Mace - dark link whirls a giant mace and smacks the foe
B) Poison Arrow- Dark link pulls and shoots his bow, and if the enemy is hit by the arrow, then he is poisoned
C) Dark Magic - a blast of dark magic shoots out of dark link's hands and flies across the screen. If hit, the foe will suffer a dark explosion

What two moves would be best for master chief :
A) Gravity Hammer - master chief whirls a heavy electronic-mace type thing and smacks the foe
B) Spike Gernade - master chief throws a gernade that when it touches the ground it will explode, shooting out shrapnel that hurts the enemy
C) Brute Shot - master chief shoots out a gernade from a large gernade launcher, which explodes when it touches ground. it will fall down
D) Missile pod - master chief levels a sweet-looking missile launcher and fires a missile that travels horizontally and explodes if it hits the enemy

1) B + C
2) A + C

Wow sounds like a good game.

I would say A and B for Dark Link, and A and D for Master Chief. This will create an even balance with both ranged and melee attacks. Plus, I like the idea of the Poison Arrow for Dark Link because it is basically the opposite of what Link has.

thanx for your input. In the end i picked for dark link poison arrow and dark mace with dark magic as a sort of super attack that your character unlocks when he collects a certain item. For master chief . . . I'm gonna go with AC. if you want to see this game when it'll be done, ill post it in submissions under the name of "Free For All" in June or so. . .

If you want to go by the zelda games, dark link should have about the same moves as noraml link as he is basicly a copy or mirror image. Some dark magic would be apropite tho and i think a dark or shadow arrow would make more sence lore wise then a poison one. The mace is not as applicaple as it was only in a few games and never with mirror or shadow link to my knowalge.

do you allready have sprites for these attacks?

[isaiahk9]

made 'em myself. you can have them/see them when i submit the game.
personally, i don't think they're too shaby.

[petree08]

I wish i could make my own sprites. i always have to look up sprites on google and it's hard to find good ones

Found out I had room for my moves. Dark Link has sword-slash (dark master sword), mace, dark or poison arrow, and dark magic. Master Chief has energy sword poke, spike grenade, grav hammer and missile launcher.

And if each character had three "super attacks" like the Final Smash from SSBB, what should they be?

Even though nobody cares about this thread . . .
New Moves!
Dark link :
Dark Clawshot - wheels in the enemy
Dark Spinner - Flies dark link across the screen, damaging those in the way
Dark Bombchu - tracks and blows up on enemy
SUPER : Soul Suck Dark Magic - A ghost swirls around the enemy, and a chunk of their health is converted to dark link

Master Chief :
Trip Mine - blowing up booby-trap
Needler - spread-shot, firing three bullets at a time, homing, exploding shards of energy
Spartan laser - charge up for super blast
SUPER : Frag Frag grenade - A frag grenade will be thrown, which instead of throwing shrapnel, will throw more frag grenades, which will then burst with explosions and shrapnel. Basically, 6 explosions instead of 1 and 25 pieces of shrapnel instead of 5. pretty sick.
