Redesign a boss from Brawl

[Perkilator]

Just as the title says, pretty self-explanatory. If you felt disappointed by how bosses felt in Brawl, you can always redesign their fighting style to fit more in a game like Ultimate. I’ll start:

Boss: Tabuu

Game of Origin: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008)

 

What does the boss do?

New Attacks:

-Bracket Circle: Tabuu turns into ten golden golden brackets and surrounds the player, charging quickly into them; any one that grabs the player (8%) flies up and then flies down to the ground (26%, medium knockback)

-Wing Blades: Tabuu lets out his wings and turns them into saws, spinning them around himself (32%, medium knockback)

-Shield of Chains: Tabuu shields himself with a force field and sends out fives chain whips that strike different random parts of the stage. Any one chain that grabs the player (11%) will be swung around and slammed onto the ground (25%, medium knockback). If none of the chains grab the player, Tabuu instead sends orbs of energy one at a time to each chain (which can be broken easily) that disperse electricity when they reach the ground (15%, OK knockback)

-Ghost Bullets: Tabuu splits into two of himself and both of him fly to both ends of the stage. Each projection conjures up a flame and fires a rain of bullets, both at once (22%, OK knockback). Only one of the Tabuu projections is the real one, and doing enough damage to him will break off the attack. The false projections are usually indicated by slight glitching effects.

-Dual Eye Lasers: Tabuu’s shape expands, and he disappears. He then reappears as two of himself as they both fire lasers from their eyes at random movement (9% each hit, small knockback)

-Electric Chain: Electric spheres circle around (6% each, medium knockback), and they form into Tabuu’s Chain of Light, which is amplified with electricity and which he lashes out in front of himself across nearly the entire stage (31%, medium knockback)

 

Old Attacks:

-Shark Blade: Tabuu turns into the shape of a shark and zooms to the opposite side of the stage (29%, medium knockback)

-Diving Slash: Tabuu teleports to one side of the stage, turns his hand into a blade of energy, and dives towards the opposite side on the floor (27%, medium knockback)

-Explosive Teleport: Tabuu sometimes leaves behind a small explosion when teleporting (5%, small knockback)

-Off Wave: Tabuu charges power with his wings, and emits a powerful outward circle of energy that can only be avoided by dodging (50%, far knockback; 5.9% when shielding, as this attack breaks your shield instantly unless you can manage to Perfect Shield in time). If your current damage is 50% or higher when you are hit, you will SD on the spot.

 

 

Setting/Intro: The same Final Destination where Galeem and Dharkon are fought, but without the additional platforms, slightly bigger, and bears a background similar to the background in Tabuu’s battle in Subspace Emissary. Tabuu materializes out of thin air, flaps his wings, and then recedes them.

 

Defeat: Exactly as in Brawl.

 

Who fights this boss in Classic Mode?

-Palutena (Ruler of Subspace)

-Bayonetta (Winged demon)

-Joker (Stand-in for Yaldaboth)

-Terry (Stand-in for Orochi)

 

These four are the exceptions because, normally, this boss is not fought in Classic Mode. Instead, he appears as a secret boss in the Final Battle section of World of Light after the true ending is acheived. He appears in a corrupted version of the portal created by Master Hand and Crazy Hand.

In Palutena’s and Bayonetta’s case, you need to win the secret battle in World of Light to fight Tabuu in Classic Mode.
