#taz urchin

[mooselybased]

Time for another Adventure Zone platform fighter moveset, and our first NPC from Ethersea, it's Urchin! This brings our total number of fighters up to 28, meaning just two more until I take a break on this series. Any guesses as to who the final two characters will be?

Urchin is, at present, the lightest character on the roster, meaning he gets sent flying easily. But, as Rule #3 of Ethersea states, Urchin is never where you need him to be, which translates to having lots of movement options to ensure he's never where his foes want him to be.

Urchin's neutral special has him pull out a depth charge, which explodes a set time after it's pulled out. Release the button to drop the charge and have it roll away, or hold for the duration to be sent flying by the explosion, as a potential additional recovery option.

Urchin's down special causes the bathysphere, AKA Urchin's rec room, to appear around him before immediately plummeting, damaging and potentially spiking anyone below him. Just be careful not to use it over the ledge.

Urchin's up special has him pop open a vent out of nowhere and climb in. An exit vent appears a set distance away in the direction held. The vents stay on screen for a short time, during which Urchin or any one item or projectile can pass through them before they vanish.

Urchin's side special has him roll into a spiny ball and dash forward a good distance. This move will stick to whatever surface it starts on, allowing for Urchin to climb walls or even move across the underside of platforms.

Urchin's finale has him bust open a hatch in the floor of the stage and start going nuts on the inner mechanisms. Sections of the stage begin to haphazardly fall away while explosions appear unpredictably throughout, before getting reset when the move ends.

Could you draw an urchin or angus please! Your request doodles are so cute and I think they’d be so cute in your style!

Both! Both is good!! I was trying to show someone in the blink shark server my process so I have a teeny incomplete recording of it too!

thinking about this moment again and i’m gonna explode

i see almost no one talk about how after the confrontation with orlene urchin made an origami flower for devo out of scrap metal!! like!! makes me shake and tremble like it’s such a small thing but it was also the only effort after that encounter that made devo genuinely smile

i like to imagine that devo still has it and keeps it at his station on the coriolis so he can look at it and be reminded that he is cared about :’^)
