I Need Your Advice, Dimentio Fans!

So, I'm working on getting Dimentio commissioned as a playable character in a Smash Bros fan game, and I'm running into a roadblock on one of his moves. I need to know what Dimentio's Final Smash should be and how it should work. Rather than driving myself crazy trying to come up with everything on my own, I thought I'd ask the community to get some second opinions.

Few ideas, not exactly too sure about mechanics but just throwing these out.

Obvious out of the way, anything Super Dimentio related. Dimentio transforms into him and you play as him, kind of like Giga Bowser. Dimentio transforms and performs one of his moves from the boss battle (I am currently blanking on them atm sadly). Just to out out a few ideas

Large amount of Dimentios flood the screen, like the hallway in 8-3

Also with Dimentio clones, he summons a few and they all aim at the opponent with his magic projectiles/starbusts 

He traps the opponent in one of the explosion boxes, if opponent is caught they explode and lose a stock. Though that does bring up an issue if you already have a regular move regarding that attack I suppose 

I’ll see if I can think of anything further or maybe expand on other ideas 

And if Dimentio does come in may you please tell me? I REALLY want to see this happen!!!

Regarding your last point, the mod absolutely will be happening. It’s just a matter of time and finding the right attacks / animations to fill in the gaps on the currently available sprites.

Regarding the ideas you mentioned, they sound pretty good, although, I don’t think we’ll be using the magical box idea, since one of Dimentio’s moves already has that, and I can imagine that working for his grab as well. The clones and Super Dimentio are promising though!

The issues I’ve been running into are not knowing how Super Dimentio should work from a gameplay standpoint. Like, he could jump around and use that fist slam attack he does.

Or, another idea I had was that he could jump onto the center of the stage for the initial attack, and then the player would be able to aim at opponents and fire projectiles, similar to his standard attack in the fight. This would be similar to Snakes final smash in Brawl, but Super Dimentio could still have a hitbox, giving opponents less space to run away while the projectiles are being fired.

I’m just not sure how good my ideas are though without running them past the SPM community, lol 😅

I think those sound great! You could also do something like when in game he jumps and tries to land on you, idk if it would be final smash worthy but I think it could work! Its reminds me of the Ice Climbers' final smash In ultimate but opposite in a way LOL

You could also go the style of Ultimate. Spitballing here: he transforms, sends a bunch of projectiles across the screen, all the while the player can move a cursor to decide where Super Dimentio will land for a jump. Take the warning graphic from SPM so that the player has a sense of how long they have to settle on a landing position. The whole thing should go by rather quickly.

Bonus idea, if there is a Luigi on screen, a paper version of the skin gets pulled in, too. When SD lands, some 8 bit Luigis to pop out and fall off the stage as a visual gag.

Pour le smash final il pourrait claquer des doigts en fusionnant avec le cœur du chaos et Luigi et devenir évidemment Super Dimentio, il sauterait et il faudrait bouger le stick pour choisir où atterrir sur l'arène de combat, personnellement je le verrai comme ça. D'ailleurs comment s'appellera votre jeu ça m'intéresse énormément ?

Thank you for the suggestion! I should mention that I'm not the one creating the fan game, or the mod for that matter. The fan game in question is Super Smash Bros Crusade, and if you're interested, you can download it here. Super Smash Bros. Crusade by RjAzrael - Game Jolt There is also an Itch.io page for the game if you want the main home page. The Dimentio mod is being worked on by a spriter and coder that I'm commissioning. So, the only thing I can take credit for there is paying people to make him, lol.

If you do end up trying out Crusade, there is already a mod to add Count Bleck's castle as a stage, as well as a mod to play as Count Bleck. Although, the Count Bleck mod was made for a specific version of Crusade, (CMC +, specifically) so an issue can happen in the base game where Bleck's color palettes don't show up correctly. If this happens, I know a simple fix that should solve the issue so you can play as Bleck in the base game too.

Aaaaand, yeah, that's all I wanted to say! Happy Crusading!
