NEKU SAKURABA
INTRODUCTION
For all of those who have played TWEWY, they know the MASSIVE amount of unique options Neku could have as a moveset, and know he would make an amazing addition, but that's not the problem. The problem is he's a third party character as he's owned by Square Enix. However, with Neku showing up in other titles such as Kingdom Hearts, the fact that SE and Nintendo are quite good friends right now, that there are going to be a few new third parties, and the fact that TWEWY was on Nintendo only console (or handeld, whatever) series ever, the chances of Neku being added if SE gets a character slot are quite high, so does he have a chance?
MOVESET OPTIONS
With over 300 different pins, all with their own abilities present in TWEWY, Neku has more that enough options to pick from when it comes to having a moveset. These are just some of the pin psyches that I feel would work well. These aren't all of my ideas, only a few, and I may add more of either my own, or other people's to this later:
SHOCKWAVE - Neku swings his hands through the air creating a small piercing blade from him fingertips. I think Shockwave could easily be implemented as his standard attacks, being used as his jabs and tilts. As it is in the game, they would combo into each other allowing for small 1-2-3 jab strings, and possibly knock up on the third hit to allow for a follow up. This would be Neku's bread and butter close combat option and would be generally fast and safe, but not have much range.
FORCE ROUNDS - An energy projectile that allows Neku to shoot glowing bullets from his hands. Could easily be used as either a Standard Special which would allow him to camp and have a good ranged zoning game. Could possibly even angle the bullets or shoot a small burst or rapid fire of bullets.
PYROKINESIS - Neku creates a stream of fire crawls across the ground and lasts for a short period of time. Could be his Side Special and allow Neku to stop approaches and control parts of the stage for short periods of time. This wont be a spammable move, nor a great punish, but will be there more to pressure your opponents and set up for more of your other attacks.
THUNDERBOLT - Neku summons a small bolt of lightning to strike an enemy in front of him. While this may at first seem like a replica of Pikachu's Down Special, it will act much more differently. It will still be a Down Special, but instead of starting far above Neku like Pikachu's Thunderbolt, it will start much closer to the ground, will pass through platforms, and will appear a short distance in front of Neku. If it connects, it will briefly stun the opponent and strike them again, stunning them again which allows Neku to follow up if the attack lands. However, even though it will come out somewhat quick, but will have a lot of lag on Neku's end, allowing an easy punish if he whiffs it.
VULCAN UPPERCUT - Neku jumps up with his hand in front of him giving him horizontal height and creating a shockwave that carries enemies with him. Basically, a shoryuken. While this wont give him much height nor allow him much forward momentum, he would be allowed to input it up to three times in succession before going into special fall, which in the end would allow him to move quite a distance both upwards and forwards. Each uppercut will pull the opponent up with multiple hits into the last hit of the uppercut, which would then launch the opponent away. While this means people would be able to DI out of it, that's why he has multiple jumps to basically catch anyone who tries to escape. It would be used both as an anti air, and Neku's main recovery move.
PSYCHOKINESIS - Neku can grab anything with his mind, and hurl it somewhere else. While this wont be a normal attack, I feel it should be influenced in his throws. For example, he could effortlessly throw someone behind him for his Back Throw, or maybe for his Down Throw he could summon a car to crush someone with, who knows?
FINAL SMASH - FUSION - Neku summons Shiki and as Neku and Mr. Mew unleash a fury of attacks all over the screen. When Neku aquires the Smash Ball, he can activate this attack. After activation, everything will instantly stop. Shiki will then appear allowing Neku and Mr. Mew to flash all around the screen and attack everything. It will hit all enemies, will go through all shields, and hit regardless of the position on the stage (although it can be dodged with a sidestep or air dodge). Due to the ease of landing it, it will do minimal damage in comparison to other final smashes, and although it can kill, wont kill until medium to high percentages.
