One idea that I threw out there Way Back When was basically just, imagine a little cloud that sort of floats up to the top of the screen and drifts around left and right, occasionally striking lightning that can hit either player (after saying this, I realized that I’d invented Sheep Man’s weapon from Mega Man 10).
I like the idea of a card that gets thrown out and then sort of goes up, like Rashid’s projectiles in SF5.
I remember one thing that came up in chat was the value of other characters’ stuff. Stuff like throwing paint (Valerie) that maybe makes the ground slippery so nobody can stop moving on one part of the ground, or maybe a rare powerup that makes a character (both?!) invisible based on Setsuki’s air super.
Since Lum is already in development, I suppose it’s too late too reply here?
I would love to see a Pandante reference. The golden panda coin? Or how about the gold fairy?
This would be perfect for texturing Lum’s coin toss! And the fact that Lum is already in development is hardly reason to stop yourself from offering ideas — the lightning cloud idea I came up with wound up being implemented in a later pre-Evo Patreon build (back when Lum was still available in his very placeholdery state). Ideas can’t hurt!
