I was thinking of interesting weapon designs for my next add-on and the first thing that came to my mind was something that ejects out of your head, to like, hop over barriers or launch a surprise attack on people on the platform above you, or something similar.
Initially I was thinking "A howitzer hat!" but than I started wondering how exactly I'm supposed to mount an entire cannon to the top of someone's head without making it's presence that known. So, I scratched that idea for a while and started gaming.
After a few minutes of Brawling as Ness, I finally used his B move: PK Flash. I was like "Holy crap it's perfect!" so I modelled up a red baseball cap in MS3D, flatshaded it and all, but stopped before scripting it. Blockland doesn't like non-original ideas much, particularly ones from other games. So I'm asking you guys for feedback.
Get together a PK Flash script, or not?
(For the guys who haven't played Earthbound or SSBM/SSBB, PK Flash is a move in which Ness (Who is a psychic) shoots a green psychic bolt out of his head and either onto himself or onto the ground infront of him, where it either fizzles out or EXPLODES in a gloriously awesome explosion of DOOM, blasting anyone in it away and leaving him open for attack. I'm thinking of translating this as a 1-shot attack that makes a green, moderately slow moving bolt pop out of the weapon (Ness' baseball cap) and onto the ground: When the bolt hits the ground it EXPLODES into a similar green explosion of awesome making the unfortunate victims (and user's, generally) screen freak out and making them all rocket away with the addition of maybe 20 or so damage: Or just exclude the damage entirely, for the sake of balancing.)
Yes I'm a freaking EB addict.
