## **Character Info**

This alternate form of Decidueye was recorded hundreds of years ago when the Sinnoh region was still called Hisui. Whether the change in evolution was triggered by the change in region, the space-time distortions that took place hundreds of years ago, or was just how Rowlets used to evolve in the past is unknown. Compared to the Decidueyes of the modern day, these Hisuian Decidueyes took on a more melee approach with kicking attacks and a Fighting-type compared to the ranged attacks and arrows that more modern Decidueyes use.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

An older model Poke Ball, once used by the Galaxy Expedition Team, will be tossed out onto the stage which Hisuian Decidueye will then pop out of.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby will have Hisuian Decidueye’s hat-like plumage sit atop his head.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Hisuian Decidueye will place its wings on its hips and lean forward a bit as it chatters as if mocking its opponents and calling them weak and pathetic.

**Down Taunt:** Hisuian Decidueye will do its best Karate Kid tribute and pose like it's about to perform a crane kick.

**Side Taunt:** Facing to the side, Hisuian Decidueye will give a small bow, tilting its head, towards its opponents.

### **Victory Poses**

1. Hisuian Decidueye will perform two powerful looking kicks to the side before making a short jump and spinning around itself with a third kick.
2. Hisuian Decidueye will be sitting on the floor in a meditative stance when suddenly its eyes will snap open and fix the camera with a glare.
3. Hisuian Decidueye will fall from the top of the screen and land with a superhero’s landing as it lets out a piercing scream.

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Triple Arrows:** This move can be used in one of two ways. The first way is to tap the special button which has Hisuian Decidueye grab an arrow and throw it in a straight line, or tap the button rapidly to throw up to three arrows one after another. The second way is to hold down the special button which causes an arrow to manifest in front of Hisuian Decidueye, eventually followed by a second and third arrow as you hold down the special button. When the special button is released, the arrows will fly together, spiraling around each other, turning them into one combined projectile. The first method of attack is faster and weaker, while the second is stronger and flies slower.

### **Side Special**

**False Swipe:** Hisuian Decidueye will take a flying leap forwards with one of its legs outstretched as it moves forward about 1/3rd of Battlefield. If Decidueye’s flying kick can make contact with an opponent they’ll be dealt a strong amount of damage, but won’t be sent flying. Instead the opponent will fall into a crumple state onto the stage. If this move is used in the air, they’ll flinch in the air for a quick second as they are stunned by the attack before being knocked back a miniscule amount. This attack comes with a slower ending animation making it difficult for Hisuian Decidueye to follow up on an opponent after landing a hit. Curiously, if this attack is used during a Stamina Battle it will never drop an opponent’s health down to 0% and will always leave them with at least 0.1% health.

### **Up Special**

**Air Slash:** Hisuian Decidueye will jump up into the air and spin around itself 360 degrees as it kicks up into the air with one leg and follow up with the other for a second kick as Hisuian Decidueye rises into the air. Making contact with Hisuian Decidueye causes damage, but the main damage comes from being hit by one of Hisuian Decidueye’s kicks. Additionally, little slices of air accompany Hisuian Decidueye’s kicks as a small damaging projectile that moves a very short distance away from Hisuian Decidueye.

### **Down Special**

**Gust:** Hisuian Decidueye will swing out one of its wings as a small puff of air bursts out from them. This Gust attack deals no damage and is instead just a way to knock opponents away easily. This attack doesn’t do much against heavier fighters like King K. Rool and Porky Minch, but will easily blast away lighter fighters like Jigglypuff and Geno. When a fighter is sent flying due to Gust, they are knocked upwards at a 45 degree angle away from Hisuian Decidueye.

### **Final Smash**

**Nine-Hundred and Ninety-Nine Arrow Raid:** Hisuian Decidueye will let out a large screech as a large feathered arrow appears in front of it and zooms forward going all the way across the screen with great speed. All opponents who are hit by this fast will find themselves pierced by it and carried off into a cinematic. This cinematic will take place in the fields of the Obsidian Fieldlands with a crack in space-time seen high up in the skies. Hisuian Decidueye will be seen silhouettes by the space-time crack as it opens up both of its wings as wide as it is able. When this occurs a storm of arrows will begin to materialize in front of Hisuian Decidueye before they begin to rain down hard on the opponents. The opponents may try to run, but they are unable to. In total Hisuian Decidueye fires 999 arrows upon its foes before the assault finally ends with Hisuian Decidueye dive bombing onto the field with explosive force thus ending the Final Smash and sending the fighters back to the battlefield heavily damaged and knocked away.

### **Extra Skill**

**Agile Style/Strong Style:** Like Pokemon battling back in the Hisui region, Hisuian Decidueye is capable of shifting his stance into either Agile Style or Strong Style. When just tapping the Extra Skill button, Hisuian Decidueye will enter Agile Style, however if they immediately tap a second time they will enter Strong Style instead. Additionally, if the player holds down the Extra Skill input they can tap the control stick left (Agile) or right (Strong) to choose which Style they want Hisuian Decidueye to enter. Once Hisuian Decidueye has entered a style they will be locked into it until they revert back to Normal Style. This Style shift is temporary and only lasts for about 10 seconds before Hisuian Decidueye reverts back to Normal Style. Hisuian Decidueye can also revert back to Normal Style by just tapping on the Extra Skill input again. When Hisuian Decidueye reverts back to Normal Style by any means, it is unable to activate this Extra Skill for 15 seconds.

When Hisuian Decidueye is in Agile Style, it’s attacks will come out faster and in some cases like with Triple Arrows and Air Slash will actually be performed faster as well. The tradeoff is that the damage values and knockback of Hisuian Decidueye’s attacks will be lessened.

When Hisuian Decidueye is in Strong Style, it’s attacks will be stronger in terms of both damage and knockback where applicable. For example, Gust will still deal 0 damage, but fighters will be sent flying away further making it more effective against heavier opponents. False Swipe still won’t deal any knockback, but can deal more damage although its properties when it comes to Stamina Battles remains unchanged. The tradeoff is that Hisuian Decidueye’s attacks come out much slower and in some cases move slower as well making it easier to dodge around them.

Hisuian Decidueye has both an additional midair jump and the ability to wall cling.
