The actual suggestions are spread throughout, but I feel the rest of the conversation is also decently relevant.

When’s Arg and Lum?
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:22 PM
On that topic. Can I describe what I think Arg is going to play like?
LordJimmyBones - Yesterday at 7:27 PM
do it
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:28 PM
bA: Dhalsim-like hitbox with staff, 0 degrees from straight.
fA: Dhalsim-like hitbox with staff, 30-45 degrees from straight. Anti-air, of course.
LordJimmyBones - Yesterday at 7:30 PM
so he has a staff
i see
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:31 PM
Doesn’t he though? I was pretty sure he did.
nA: I dunno.
CWheezy - Yesterday at 7:31 PM
he has a staff
phil/sage - Yesterday at 7:32 PM
jA: baiken jS
B/jB: baiken tatami/air tatami
C: baiken guardcancel
LordJimmyBones - Yesterday at 7:33 PM
get out
anyway
curious to see that
i wanna try new stuff
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:34 PM
B: Bubble, acts as a fireball but moves slowly. Can only have one onscreen at a time; either you can’t use another until it pops or disappears or it pops when you use another. Or you press B again and it pops to make a damaging explosion. Dunno which behavior would be best.

[This was a picture of Arg striking with his staff.]
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:35 PM
C: Slide. Hits once, chips twice. (It has two hits and at least the first knocks down.)
Thank you bug_deal.
jA: 0 degrees below straight.
djA: 20 degrees below straight. Or maybe more.
jB: Uh…you come up with an idea. Slips past an attack and takes chip for it maybe?
jC: I’d say drill, but I can’t see how Arg could do so within lore.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 7:40 PM
air bubble? arg seems like he’d have an air projectile
i would be down with arg just spinning down around his staff like dhalsim
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:40 PM
Good point.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 7:42 PM
like just gripping his staff with all his arms so he’s parallel with it and doing a drill
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:42 PM
Hmmmm…maybe for one of his supers he becomes slippery for a time and takes chip with no limited hitstun if he isn’t buttons when he gets hit?
bug_deal - Yesterday at 7:42 PM
maybe sort of above his staff like it’s a pogo stick and he’s drilling it in to your face
LordJimmyBones - Yesterday at 7:44 PM
cant wait to see a footage of this guy
im very interrested
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:44 PM
I seem to recall there was someone using SFV Dhalsim to rush down with a degree of success? That kind of super could enable that as an option for Garg.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 7:45 PM
i guess what i’m imagining is just faust’s drill
that’s why it’s so vivid in my mind
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:45 PM
I mean, I’m just spitballing here, but I would honestly be very impressed if my ideas came to fruition ingame.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 7:45 PM
yeah it’s just tossing out ideas
bubbles and drills sound fun
but who knows
ya never know how a fighter’s gonna play until they get in your hands…
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 7:46 PM
So, what would standing A be like? And how would B work of the options I provided?
Because I dunno for the former, and the latter would be broken if you could have a ton of bubbles onscreen. But simply disabling the button might be unfair for the player; but allowing further action could be broken. Tough to know without testing.
While I’m at it. I’d state what Lum could do, but 1. I have no idea what to do with his randomness, and 2. I have no idea who he apes, if anyone.
bug_deal - Yesterday at 7:56 PM
standing A, I would guess just a quick jab, maybe with a limb or a short motion with the staff
a reach with the staff seems more like a forward a move
maybe back A could be a very short range anti air like a move that ducks and pushes the staff up or something
GRAG - Yesterday at 7:58 PM
Rumor has it Lum is basically Blanka + Faust
bug_deal - Yesterday at 7:58 PM
yeah
Sotek - Yesterday at 7:58 PM
lum b: ball. lum c: item?
bug_deal - Yesterday at 7:58 PM
maybe B could be ground level fish projectile, and C could be a bubble that starts behind him and sort of floats up?
up and forward
or fish could jump out like a good short range arc projectile and bubble would slowly go acress the whole screen like a wave beam
GRAG - Yesterday at 7:59 PM
Should he actually have a super block like in Yomi, or should he have a more aggressive super?
NiGHTcapD {Shyne} - Yesterday at 8:00 PM
Hm…lift arm to diagonally forward, holding the staff vertical. Short range but hits jumping and low opponents. Arg sA good to go, I suppose!
