Oh yeah almost forgot, I will be taking into account obviously the developer's intended design around hard reads/good predictions and risky but calculated plays being rewarded. All the meter mechanics and system mechanics are gonna be taken into account. But obviously, in the state they are as of today. 

Yomi Hustle Unofficial Character Concept "Document": (UNFINISHED DRAFT, Version 0.1)

The "Soldier"

The Soldier is a, well, soldier by trade. Wielding a rifle, a small tactical handgun, and while a not particularly excessive, still oddly large spoonful of explosives, as well as a metal exoskeleton under his uniform. Which allows him to do goofy ah super soldier shenanigans. As god intended. The soldier's animations of course should reflect a slick special operator personality. Maybe he's a little full of himself, but it's not unwarranted, he's goofy with it in a good way. If anyone wants to make this character a reality and wants to draw the sprites, if you really hate yourself, you could totally give him stupid comical hair for him to mess with in his taunt. As god intended. But that's optional as I value human life. But above all else I would want him to match the other characters aesthetically. And really I'd rather see him become functional, and then be given proper animations and whatnot after, god forbid animations come first and they have to be changed. That sounds hellish. Maybe give him a hat instead? Idk. 

Appearance (in the context of gameplay): Obviously the character should have some defining traits but fit within the artstyle. This is all conceptual, I'm no good as an artist. Just basing everything off of the principals of the other characters. Though I feel this character is going to be a bit harder to make work in this style due to his nature as an "arsenal" character with guns that are meant to be more on the modern or even sci fi side.  Much like the cowboy he's going to have a weapon (two and a half really) that need to be their own color compared to the main body. Which of course should probably be about the same as the current 3 characters. Though you could incorporate the boots and/or combat uniform to further differentiate the character from the others. He has prominent kicking moves so boots might be warranted. I deliberately detail that the exoskeleton is under an outfit specifically because I'm sure it'd be an inconvenience to animate otherwise. There should also be a small holster on his waist somewhere. Somewhere for him to put and draw his handgun from when going in between stances. Speak of the devil, I'd like the handgun to be either modern blocky glock esque pistol, or funky sci fi pistol. If the former, it's a little 9mm. If the latter, it's a funny little laser gun. Either way you get the idea.

The Soldier also has a rifle on his back. You prolly won't be seeing most of it in his normal animations but for the record, I imagine it being a modern looking bullpup rifle. I decided it should be bullpup for multiple reasons. For one, bullpups are cool. Secondly, it can be shorter that way, rifles tend to be big and long, but the rifle's overall size can be made smaller and still make sense if it's a bullpup. This makes things easier. Thirdly, to justify the long reload. Bullpups aren't as quick to reload because of the placement of the magazine. I want it to be believable that this super soldier is super skilled and whatnot because that's the aesthetic. And a skilled soldier can totally reload a mag well in front of the trigger comically quick. But I think the reload for balance sake should be something you have to commit to. But not comically long, the rifle is already not gonna be very spammable as is. 

Main thing here, that is required for this to function; the rifle should be a different color from the main character color, and the handgun and holster should be different colors from that. I imagine the handgun being a darker grey while the holster is a lighter grey for example. 

Blocking, tech rolling, and getup and all that sorta stuff is the same as the other characters. Frankly if it's not mentioned generally speaking assume it acts as you'd expect from other characters. 

Just so you are aware, the idea behind this character is a character that demands good movement and skilled positioning. As well as management of resources, and preparation paired with the usual prediction. This character is acting as both a movement based rushdown character and the """""""charge""""""" character of the game.  

Stance Overview: Standing Stance (Default Stance):
Standing stance is the default stance of this character. In this stance Soldier's rifle is slung on his back and his handgun is drawn, but held closer to his chest than anything. The moves this stance is capable of doing is as follows: 

Movement:
March: Simple cowboy esque walk, but extra controllable and able to be acted out of after a little bit of startup for the first step or so. You can't use it recklessly at close range or anything but it's good for more precise positioning.

Super Sprint: A more powerful version of the "Sprint" movement tool I'll talk more about later. The animation I have in mind is most similar to Iron Man's dash from Marvel Superheroes. Using the exoskeleton for a big burst of speed. However this is slow to recover after the fact. In return it's free cancelable. It is very fast and covers a lot of ground though.

Jump: Duh, jump. More like Wizard's jump than Ninja's jump though. No flippy spinny. Maybe his max jump height would be worse than average too. 

In the air Soldier can do the following movement shenanigans:

Exo Double Jump: Very precise and controllable double jump Works off of an "air" meter the exo suit runs off of rather than air actions. Recharges slowly when you are on the ground. I'm half tempted to come up with some sort of way to refuel mid air for an air action and meter, but I think using a resource that's more limited than air actions is a notable weakness I feel this warrants having. You use more air the higher or further you jump.

Exo Air Boost: Uses a lot of air, but launches Soldier in a manner similar to Ninja's momentum release. Except you can actually control it directly. In the same way you'd control teleport or a double jump. Meaning you can react out of it very quickly. Very strong, probably in every situation. Should use a lot of air in return. Note that you cannot use this on the ground, that and the air meter are the balancing factor here. 

Exo Air Blast: Uses a ton of air, but in return sends opponents hit in a direction based off of their position relative to yours when they are hit. Basically, if they're below you or something, launch em down. And vice versa. Also deletes all projectiles within range of the blast. It deals no damage but can spike your opponent off of the ground and into the air. Maybe useful in the right scenario. Kind of just a burst with no invincibility though. Maybe it could get a hit of armor for initiative though.

Air To Ground Slide: Soldier falls to the ground and does a slide, the slide goes a different distance depending on distance fallen. This has a hitbox obviously but is mainly a movement thing to chase after people after a conflict in the air. Not super safe if whiffed, hits as a low, but is pretty good on hit. But obviously reactable. This is free cancelable. Because that'd be cool.

Back to movement on the ground:

Sprint: Sprint causes you to enter a "sprint" stance. Where you start moving at a relatively fast pace, but it has a fair bit of startup, but you can react afterwards at any time with a turnaround, a sprinting jump that keeps your momentum and lets you do air stuff but returns you to sprinting when you hit the ground, a shoulder tackle (free cancelable) that would act much like Ninja's drop kick in function (but obviously grounded the whole time) and finally, attempt to aim your handgun. Which would essentially end your sprint right then and there. Sending you back to standing stance. But at the cost of lots of recovery. But not as much as the super sprint's recovery.

Ducking is an important "movement" action but I'll talk about it when we get more into relevant attacks.

That's it movement wise. Obviously backwards movement should have the penalties like everyone else has. This is supposed to be a rushdown character after all. Maybe even make his backwards movement cost air lol. In general I'm trying to make sure that running away and doing shenanigans with his longer ranged attacks isn't valid as a response to the neutral. It should really only be an option when Wizard and Ninja start spamming their projectiles. As this character specializes in anti projectile shenanigans. 

Normal Attacks:
(These are all free cancelable unless stated otherwise.)

Pistol Whip:
Duh. I think this could have a cool animation. But it's basically a pommel, or at best a pre buff ninja punch.

Exo Punch:
Uses a little bit of air, and has a fair bit of startup. In return thought it gets extra range via a burst of air in front of the fist. But also sends you sliding backwards a bit. Decent damage combo ender and poke. Initiative could maybe give this a hit of armor or something. However, in the range where the fist and air hit together, you get a nice sweet spot, which would send the opponent at a nice angle into the air. I think to balance it, it could maybe be just slow enough that if you predict it coming you can wait and do nothing for a turn and parry the hit if they don't whiff cancel. High risk high reward for all parties involved. Using it proactively and predicting it proactively with stuff like initiative DP is the goal here. 

Big Ol Roundhouse:
It's what it says on the tin. Think a Terry Bogard standing forward forward medium kick in Garou if you know that game. Don't whiff it, you'll die. But it's a nice combo starter with good range. Instant cancels out of this would be good. But I see it being predictable to parry if used unwisely. Free cancel resource sink.

Shoot!:
"Today is Friday, in California." "Guh?" References aside relative to what you're used to this is a weird projectile. You cannot aim it, and it doesn't auto track onto enemies. It fires a noticeably slower bullet than cowboy's, in a cone of random spread in front of you. With each shot getting less and less accurate than the last if used repeatedly in a combo or in a row. Low damage, low base knockback. Prolly good at mid range, if only as a pestering tool. More likely to hit the ground or sky than your enemy if you use it dumbly though.

Grab:
Grab.

This is where I'd put air normals, but it's nearly 2 in the morning and I don't find them to be critically important. I also don't have anything in mind.

Special moves, very cool! I'll have much more eventually but in the meantime I'm dying.

Bionic Uppercut:
This move has a switch you can flip that allows you to use it in conjunction with a chunk of air bar to give it a dashing forward effect. Something in between an electric wind god fist, and a Balrog rushing uppercut. A combo starter and a good combo tool in general. Have it send vertically at a suboptimal angle if used repeatedly in one combo though. Give it a hit of armor for initiative and it instantly becomes a big scary ground tool. But pretty rewarding to block or parry. Honestly reckless use prolly wouldn't get good players unless it was used as a initiative read. It'd prolly be at it's best as a whiff punish tool and combo tool.

I planned to do more tonight but it's two in the morning and I'm dying. I'm talking a few types of grenades, some locked behind meter usage, many supers, the crouching stance with it's own shenanigans, how the rifle's gonna work in detail, and so much more. More is coming soon adjacent. So this isn't the finished first draft, not even close. But in the meantime, give me feedback! I want it, I need it, if I don't get it I'll become a plastic explosive. Only god knows what will happen then. I need the feedback, I wrote this in the middle of the night, there's bound to be something wrong with it! In the meantime, I gotta do my english final tomorrow. It's a good thing that I'm damn good at english class. Then I'm done with school till January, so that's fun. Lots of time to slap my keyboard as I usually do. Will be fun. I'll regret staying up this late later. As per usual. 

Didn't get as much done as I hoped. Was working on another project with a friend. Refined what was already there in some ways, and added air normals. Give it a look!

Shoot!:

"Today is Friday, in California." "Guh?" References aside relative to what you're used to this is a weird projectile. You cannot aim it, and it doesn't auto track onto enemies. It fires a noticeably slower bullet than cowboy's, in a cone of random spread in front of you. With each shot getting less and less accurate than the last if used repeatedly in a combo or in a row. Low damage, low base knockback. Prolly good at mid range, if only as a pestering tool. More likely to hit the ground or sky than your enemy if you use it dumbly though.

A knife!:

It’s a knife, basically a cowboy slash, but with much, much, much worse range. Maybe better frame data in return? But you basically have to be point blank for this one. Having worse range than even the pistol whip. But in every other way it’s a good move. This is the combo starter you wanna go for on the ground. Most of the time though you’ll be coming in from the air.

Rifle Butt:
Lunging attack with poor recovery on whiff. Kind of like ninja nunchucks, but not attached to a stance. This move exists to be instant canceled for the most part. As it's a slow recovery from having to throw the rifle (which is on a sling mind you) back over your shoulder. But, surely it can work just as well in the corner or with some additional setup, right?

Grab:

Grab.

Normals are a bit different in the air of course:

Dive’n Slide:
Soldier does a diving kick that keeps his momentum upon activation without changing that momentum whilst in the air, when he hits the ground he does a slide, the slide goes a different distance depending on distance fallen. This has a hitbox obviously but is mainly a movement thing to chase after people after a conflict in the air. Not super safe if whiffed, hits as a low, but is pretty good on hit. But obviously reactable. This is free cancelable. Because that'd be cool.

Sky High Shoot!:
Shoot diagonally upwards in an inaccurate cone of fire. Basically a standin for air punch, and would shoot at a similar angle, at close range that's basically be what it amounts to in function. But you could roll the accuracy RNG and see if you can scare your opponent out of the air as well.

Freedom Knee: 

Free your soul from your body. Basically, a captain falcon esque swaggy knee attack, as an aerial combo ender. 

Parachute:

Doesn’t slow your descent as much as you’d hope. Above the head combo ender, that launches downwards on hit and doesn’t let you act until you hit the ground. May seem weird, but you can cut the cord with an instant cancel (IC would cost an air action in this instance), and re-create an aerial fight scene post parachute failure straight out of an action movie! To clarify, this wouldn’t slow your fall much, that’s not how soldiers use parachutes. My father was in the 82nd airborne and they practically hit the ground at 30 MPH, which causes 82nd airborne fighters to lose inches of height due to bone loss over time. 

Air Stomp:
Spikes the enemy directly into the ground, if it hits a grounded enemy, spike them into the air. 

Daring Dive:
Downwards knife thrust, basically a kick equivalent.

Airborne Cartwheel:
Basically, think an aerial spinning multi hitting neutral air from smash brothers. Like a chuck spin, but with less horizontal range and more coverage around the body. Which would synergize more with Soldier’s kit. 

Special moves, very cool! I'll have much more eventually but in the meantime I'm dying.

Bionic Uppercut:

This move has a switch you can flip that allows you to use it in conjunction with a chunk of air bar to give it a dashing forward effect. Something in between an electric wind god fist, and a Balrog rushing uppercut. A combo starter and a good combo tool in general. Have it send vertically at a suboptimal angle if used repeatedly in one combo though. Give it a hit of armor for initiative and it instantly becomes a big scary ground tool. But pretty rewarding to block or parry. Honestly reckless use prolly wouldn't get good players unless it was used as a initiative read. It'd prolly be at it's best as a whiff punish tool and combo tool.

this is coming along very well

Heyo! Sorry for no updates for a while. I've been busy, but I've been doing a ton of work today! So much it'd be too hard to detail it to you all. But I've added grenades to the moveset, some supers based off of Call of Duty perks, and reworded a good chunk of stuff. Also refining the doc. 

Also, for now I've decided that the character will be named the "Operator".

I also have some concept art from BBoshi Toshi, AKA Usop from the modding discord. Who originally knew me from this post before I joined lol. 

We are getting significantly closer to a finished character. But we're not even at the home stretch just yet. When I finish the normal standing stance (hopefully soon), I'll have to move on and make the crouching stance. Speak of the devil, I'm also giving that stance a different, more defensively oriented set of super grenades. Though they parallel the three I've had this whole time. I'll post all the grenades now as they are the highlight of my recent work besides some ideas for supers. Starting with the only one of them to be a special move and not cost meter, the main medium range projectile of this character, accessible in all stances, the Frag Grenade:

Frag Grenade:
This character’s main mid range projectile. Using this move sends you into a new stance like using nunchuck. You pull the pin of the grenade, which takes a handful of unactionable frames, at which point you immediately become actionable again. You can block, march, and sprint. But you can also wait to hold the grenade. It has a 5 second real time timer before detonating. You can choose to throw it, which allows you to control how it’s thrown via a jump-esque analogue wheel. Depending on the angle and strength you can lob, toss, underhand throw, or even roll the grenade on the ground. Use the predictions to help you aim the throw! Since you don’t throw immediately and can stall, you can also easily airburst the grenade. The actual toss has plenty of startup, but recovers pretty quickly. Allowing you to chase after the grenade. But do note that when you have a grenade in your hand, you can't do any traditional attacks! And so long as you aren't launched into the air the grenade will stay in your hand while you are being hit. So be careful! You can only have one grenade on the screen at once, using the move again will allow you to attempt to grab it, and throw it again. However, the opponent can hit the grenade with attacks to send it in the direction of the attack. And the grenade can harm yourself upon detonation.

NOTE: When holding any grenade that is not thrown instantly, you can use a bar of meter to use “Fast Hands”. A Technique that lets you reset the cooldown of the grenade, as well as (if you choose) throw the grenade with much fewer negative frames immediately.

(Here are the super grenades for standing stance, all of the below are 1 super bar a pop.)

Flash Grenade:
Throws a timed grenade that in its explosion radius does no damage or knockback but inflicts high levels of OTG hitstun. Rolling or blocking is the only means of avoiding when caught in its radius.

Hellbuster Nade:
Instantly thrown grenade that sits on the floor for a couple seconds before sending two nunchuck whip esque projectiles out that multihit and carry the opponent in both directions along the ground.

(Had to edit this one in cause I'm a dummy and forgot it)

Impact Nade:
Simple instant thrown projectile that explodes upon contact with anything for big damage. The grenade itself can be parried which instantly defuses it, but the explosion cannot be parried and does decent chip damage. Don’t throw this one on the ground trying to roll it…

(Grenade related super for standing stance:)

EOD Vest (Level 2):
Makes you immune (armor and no damage) to two of your own grenades. Breaks after those two grenade immunities are used, and can be re-applied.

(Now onto crouching stance grenades. They still cost one bar a pop, but are more defensively oriented.)

(How did I mess this one up! Another edit, another grenade I have to add after the fact.)

Concussion Bomb:
Flips Enemy Backwards like Zephyr, and does lots of hitstun. But that hitstun is only on counterhit. So it can be baited or reacted to by simply doing nothing

Thermite Bomb (Charge Only):
Grenade that’s thrown straight in a slightly lobbed trajectory every time. But sticks onto enemies or surfaces and does minor damage every turn when in its AOE. If you can stick the opponent, they’ll take lots of free damage. Combine that with EOD, and you might even get a combo off of the last few hits of the fire.

Sticky Grenade:
Can’t be cooked, but will stick onto surfaces and players from which it cannot be removed. Besides that works just like a frag. 

(I might make this one not a super. Maybe. We'll see.)

Anyhow, I'll finish this update with a few other supers I had in mind. Some I've had since the beginning, but mostly ones I came up with recently.

Standing Super (I have a couple more I'm brainstorming but this one I've finished):

Precision Airstrike (Level 3): Call in an A10 Warthog airstrike on a specific part of the map via angling where you are looking at through binoculars. Higher you look the further away you will call the strike. The strike will then take a while to happen, but will do massive damage to both the enemy and yourself if you are caught in its radius. No aircraft actually appears on screen, it just fires from above off screen. Hitboxes only appear when the bullets actually hit the ground causing a barrage of small AOE damage that adds up quickly. These prolly shouldn’t be parryable.

Crouching Supers:

Trophy System (Crouched) (Level 2):
Thrown object ala caltrops. But only a single one. When it lands, it will then delete all projectiles in a radius of it for a period of time.

Double Match Grade Cutter (Charge Only) (Level 1):
Essentially a double flash kick. But if the last hit connects, do a scripted finisher that launches and does good damage.

Bomb Drone (Charge Only) (Level 3):
Activates a drone with bombs on it, leaves the main character vulnerable and unactionable, but lets you control the drone like a wizard orb, and detonate it on command or after a certain amount of time like a sticky bomb. Very dangerous high damage attack. If the Operator can find a way to get the plus frames off of crouched moves to combo into this, you’ll be crying.

That's all the cool work I've done today so far. Give me your thoughts! All the people who I've shared the doc with are liking it so far!

Yo its Bboshi, ya rember me? I was hoping to talk with you bout something rn if you can.

I wasn't expecting to have a move like this but I think it's cool. Adds to the "arsenal" character vibe I was going for.  I need more wacky special moves anyways lol.

Shotgun Blast:
Pull out a shotgun from nowhere, and rack it (many inactionable frames). At which point you can aim the shotgun, and fire one of many shots. A normal buckshot shot, which is basically just a really long string of hitboxes, each further away hitbox dealing less damage, less knockback, and less hitstun. Hitting it point blank would be incredibly rewarding, but any further away and it wouldn’t be worth much. The other shots are mainly utility. A fire shot which sends out a wall of fire that lasts for a little bit and moves slowly. A slug shot that shoots a straight shooting big projectile that does decent damage at all ranges, but can be intercepted by other projectiles, and moves at the same speed as the handgun's bullets. Which would be a slow speed, if you don't remember. Finally, you can go for stock swing, a decently long range low hitting sweep attack where you swing the back end of the shotgun at them fairly quickly. Whichever action you chose, afterwards, you quickly toss the shotgun away and get back into the normal standing stance. This is essentially a backsway-esque move, you use it in prediction of the enemy doing something silly and putting themselves in danger. But, without the actual backsway that makes it easy to dodge things. In return, you get a few more options than backsway, including multiple utility options. But don't use it recklessly!

Heyo! Sorry for no updates for a handful of days. I've come up with nothing quite groundbreaking sadly. So, I think it's about time I start work on crouching stance and it's moves. I hope to have a finished draft in mere days now. But that doesn't mean I won't add onto the draft if I come up with more moves. In my eyes the character isn't finished until I can play them as a mod and they feel satisfactorily fun and balanced. So until then things are subject to change. 

When I get to a finished-adjacent draft I'm happy with, I will finally post the link to the google doc here for you all to see! 

In the meantime I've actually been working on a different character, and helped another person with their character. I won't talk about either here, I've moved to the modding discord for most of my shenanigans. But I'm going to keep doing updates here out of sheer obligation. I will see this to the end. In memorium of the steam release inevitably turning this Itch page into a graveyard, I must do it. It's a moral obligation. This is my preverbal homeland, I'll be the last to see it off.

As I write stuff up I will of course post it here. As per usual. So stay tuned!
