hey logan I agree with most of ur stuff but I have to say I dont see trunks using his sword unless its like a deathblow or something, I just think that if he would hit with his sword in the melee logically people shouldeve been cut unless u wanna see a sword hitting the flesh and just a random "boom" appearing out of the place and no limbs cut
other stuff u said seem fine by me,
goku-regular punches
vegeta- about the same just more agressive like u said
picollo- arm streching and mostly punches
buu- chubby moves, slow and strong
cell- I think should take like one move from each char, would be intersting that he will use a goku punch like one time and another time use vegetas or picollos trademark punch
frieza- now theres a hard one, I guess tail hits would be nice
krillin- some nice kicks like u said could do the job
gohan- cant say for sure, guess like goku with few slight changes
trunks - cant say for sure again, but dont think sword is a good idea
ASIDE FROM THE ATTACKS!!!
I have a suggestion, while in advanced melee, I think it will be a good idea to make some punches/kicks have a "push" effects, for example, goku against vegeta, goku starts a combo with a few small punches, medium kick and some more small punches:
so what I am saying is if goku hits the medium kick the enemy will be pushed away a couple of meters and then u(the player) will fly to the pushed away enemy and continue the combo from there, also another suggestion is having the enemy being thrown in the direction that he was hit, what I am saying is if u use a hard punch/kick and its in the end of the combo and it hits it will send the enemy flying in the direction which the punch/kick was directed, example: u pressed punch and it has the down direction and then if u hit the enemy he will be flying crashing down instead of now that when u hit someone u send him flying straight from u.
so if u combine my 2 suggestions (of course if u choose to accept them
)
u can get a very nice and more realistic combo, imagine:
picollo punches goku a few times, then uppercuts (medium punch with the up direction) him- he is "pushed" up away into the air and then u fly up to him and use both hands together just like in the show to hit him in the back flying down to the ground, or another example is punching someone a medium punch which makes him get "pushed" a bit down and then u fly down catch him and knee him in the stomach (sounds familiar from the show right).
happens a lot in the show and I think what I suggested can also make it happen in esf
respect for all staff for they are doing the great job!
also if anybody thought about this idea b4 me plz dont spam cause i didnt know!
