The Radical Funky Kong Alliance of Funk!

[Cobalsh]

BUMP! This thread has now been slightly changed, all I'm willing to do since I've been up all night. But support icons, roster maker icons, music and more are coming soon! Stay funky, Smashboards.

I see a failed opportunity with the naming of this thread. What's wrong with "We Want the Funk! We Gotta That Funky Kong"?

I just got this thread from someone else, and am considering a new title. But I'll list this one, because you made me laugh so I hard I spit out milk.

Hey guys, according to this list, how would Funky Kong's moveset be classified? (hybrid classes are possible):

Zoner - Character whose strength lies in forcing their opponent to stay in a certain area. Ex:

Ranger - Character whose strength lies in their ranged attacks to force opponents to keep their distance. Ex:

Speedster - Character whose strength lies in their speed and ability to overwhelm their opponents with relentless attacks. Ex:

Trickster - Character whose strength lies in a quirky moveset that is hard to predict and can alter the battle field. Ex:

Bruiser - Character whose strength lies in devastating attacks to quickly finish off opponents. Ex:

Resistor - Character whose strength lies in super armor that allows them to tank hits to strike down opponents. Ex:

Puppeteer - Character whose strength lies in overwhelming opponents with relentless attacks stopping opponents from striking back. Strength in numbers. Ex:

Juggler - Character whose strength lies in being able to string combos together to finish off opponents. Ex:

I would take Funky over Dixie. Not K. Rool, but over Dixie.

Forget those other DK characters! Funky has always been the coolest. The guy wears a wife beater, and obviously smells really bad as his name suggests. Funky Kong doesn't care what you think of him, he's gonna punch your face in.

Funky would be best as a clone of Donkey Kong, not many development resources invested, but a new twist on an old favorite.

A few clone mechanic changes (all based off DK's moveset):

Side + B - Breaks barrel with his head, similar to Charizard rock smash. Variable knockback.
Neutral + B - At full charge, lunges forward a few steps with punch. No super armor, higher end lag.
Down + B - Horizontal knockback.

FAIR - Always spikes, faster motion.
Dair - Upward knockback, faster motion (like sheik).
Down Smash - Horizontal knockback.

Less power, but slightly faster than DK in general.
