@MiningBoy Depends on what you mean by "teased" As he was visible on our roster images (the little boxes with characters) but greyed out (meaning incomplete). During that time he was more-so an idea that I wanted to do. But when the Mario Jam happened is when development really started, though I lost motivation nearing the end (though I had gotten a huge portion of him done at that point) hence why he released far after the jam had ended. But if I was to give a rough time-frame I'd say a few months of proper development time once I had properly started.

I saw this teased like so long ago, how long did this character was in the works for?

METAL SONIC WHEN

Right, the main reason for Ptooie being able to hit around more closer to gordo was mainly to give it a flaw but also a new use case. As it can be very good for Plant himself to hit it around, but it can also just as easily be turned against him. The parrying thing is very true though, I could maybe make Ptooie not spike shortly after being parried so it'll pop you up instead.

also true i need to get the explosions of the fspecial to stick in my memory as its main use goal

ptooie being reflected by damage is new to plant (in the smash design ptooie is closer to mii brawler's shotput than king dedede's gordo when it comes to projectiles with hitboxes and hurtboxes) which is weird, but fine, I guess. it also spikes now, which is cool but means that ptooie to cover recovery is now pretty bad actually I think (now a parry is like instant death as the parried ptooie shoots straight back down to spike at 100mph). and dair seems to have a little pogo to it on hit which is fine and good all it means is I'm gonne need to remember i have to actively hitfall in every situation to chain dair into grounded moves, but thats just pure skill issue

@Conway Appreciate it! I can fully understand the change to DTilt being weird, and I can slightly get jab (though in an upcoming patch I did buff the jab to be a lot quicker as it was very slow) but I'm curious on what's weird about Ptooie and Dair?

And I have considered something for fspecial, but as of the moment the only real difference with charge is its time, and also how strong the explosion is from when it touches BAir.

You're free to say anything if you think theres some stuff I could take a look at though!

I guess now the speargrub and spiderboi plant has competition as my favourite plant now. of all the piranha plants i've looked at in the workshop, this is the one that made shooting fireballs have a good place in the moveset without breaking or replacing a move that feels pretty central to the character after its inclusion in smash. it has so many unique changes that I respect so, so much. maybe the only plant change concept I like more than the ones in this mod is a fully charged side special cloud having more use than just larger and longer lasting, like elliana cloud knockback. I just have a lot of little changes to the specials and the dtilt and jab to get used to. i will say dair and ptooie feel real weird

@cybop 9 The SOU Frisk is by a friend, we're just on a team! If you look close at the image you can see a little circle on the top right of each box. Each color corresponds to a member, in my case; green! :)

don

don

make Shadow the hedgehog pls

we need porky from earthbound dude

are there any more Piranha Plants I should know about? (that Squidward meme)

this is cool!

Will you also make ashley from warioware or the masked man /porky from earthbound?

@DonGT also nice SOU frisk

This is like the 4th really solid Piranha Plant on the workshop wth

@cybop 9 I do agree that I could technically have chosen someone we don't really have on the workshop, and trust me my future characters totally will, but for now I wanted to properly represent my main from SSBU with some extra flair to him.

@cybop 9 in my opinion this one feels like the most faithful one on workshop, while also being highly polished and generally very fun all around haha

@DonGT i see but you know you could make something other then a piranha plant maybe uh... sh$t im not apart of the mario community i dont know that much characters

I wish plants were real...

@cybop 9
There are a few, but I still wanted to have my own fun take!

at this point we have like too many piranha plants now
