So once upon a time, Smash Academy was a fighting academy. The time-honored tradition of beating the hell out of each other with bombs and paper fans is inexorably tied with the school. Knocking each other into the stratosphere is part of the Smash Academy curriculum, so in theory every student and teacher there can battle against each other in a smash bout! But that leaves one important question... how would they fight?
1. Post with your vision of your characters' movesets, as though they were actually in a Smash Brothers game! Be as descriptive as possible. Use the handy cheat-sheet below.
2. Play out a hypothetical match with someone else. How would fire magic go up against ice breath? If your character is better suited to staying on the ground, how would they handle an aerial opponent?
3. USE THEM IN IN-GAME SMASH COMBAT. 8D
Walk: Do they walk? Sneak? Hover? Hop?
Run: How do they move when they have to GTFO?
Jump and double-jump: Do they jump, use magic or some anti-gravity technology? Do they use a grappling hook or some sort of tool assistance when they double jump? Do they have another move altogether, intead of that second jump?
Standard Attack: What's your character's primary weapon? How do they use it? Are they trained in it and have a clean technique, or are they just flailing and hope something connects? Are their attacks above or below them different, and is so, how?
Strong Attack: When they want to hit a little harder, what do they do? Switch weapons, or just grip the one they have with both hands and channel all their botched anger management training?
Special Attack: Do they use magic? Summon minions to do all the hard work? A special weapon? Or do they have some other special ability they would use here?
Smash Attack: Here's the wind up, aaaaaaaaand...
Final Smash!: GET THE SMASH BALL GET IT GET IT, YES AWESOME you got it! WHAT HAPPENS NOW??
Shield: Would they use a normal Smash shield? Or do they have a gadget or spell of their own that does the trick?
Grab: So how do they grapple? Some sort of beam, or telekinesis? Or do they just grab their opponent's lapels, and
Taunt: THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. No, seriously, they just launched their opponent into the exosphere and the crowd's chanting their name! What do they do?
Victory stance: They won! So after the match, how do they express themselves while laurels and accolades are thrown at them and the KOs tallied?

Run: He lowers onto all fours and gallops like a majestic bear. A... really fat, majestic bear.
Jump and Double-Jump: He just jumps. It probably makes a SPROIYOIYOING noise.
Standard Attack: He's got some big ole bear claws. I mean the pastry, of course! No, but, seriously. Punches, kicks and big biting chomps are his standard non-Pokémon-moveset weapons of choice. He's an animal, so, he fights like one.
Strong Attack: Shadow Ball or Blizzard. Both have nice range.
Smash Attack: Crunch! Omnomnom gonna eat you bro.
Final Smash: Giga Impact. I imagine this working kind of like Super Sonic, but with a lot more collateral damage.
Shield: Just sticks out his belly. Seriously, you can drop kids on it from a balcony and he'll barely notice it.
Grab: He just uses his big fuzzy bear hands.
Taunt: He probably just giggles. He's not really mean spirited so... yeah. Just chuckles. Chortles. Maybe a guffaw.
Victory Stance: See Icon!
no subject
Walk: With CONFIDENCE.
Run: Just BOOKS IT. Even does that arm-swingy thing, and uses his whole body in the movements.
Jump and Double-Jump: Standard human jump, standard double-jump. Double-jumps feel so impossible, but welcome to Smash. I can't for the life of me think of a recovery jump, either, so I'll just leave that up in the air. (dohohoho)
Standard Attack: Standard attack would probably just be his fists. Good thing gesturing with his fists seems to be Chili's motif...
Strong Attack: I tried to think about what a waiter could do and I decided that he could probably take one of those culinary torches and just use that because Why Not.
Smash Attack: SIMISEAR'S FLAMETHROWER yes thanks.
Final Smash: The triple attack in SSBB is a good idea for Chili, too, since he operates in threes thanks to his triplet brothers. I always thought that if he were doing a team battle, his Final Smash could be powered up with his partner's cooperation. On his own, he'd just send out three of his Pokémon: Simisear, Heatmor, and Darmanitan. THREE TIMES THE FIRE.
Shield: Normal smash shield, probably.
Grab: He'd be the type to just use his hands and grab the person like he's grabbing them by the collar of their shirt. Even if they don't have one. If not this, he'd probably get one of his 'mons to do it.
Taunt: I feel like his sprite animation from B2W2 might be decent enough.
Victory Stance: FIST PUMP
no subject
Run: He runs with his arms close to his sides, and isn't especially fast. More of a jog than a run.
Jump and Double-Jump: Jump is simply a jump, but double jump involves Honchkrow lifting him. As such, it yields a brief hover time
Standard Attack: Weavile appears and slashes the opponent twice for overall normal damage
Strong Attack: Houndoom appears and uses Flamethrower
Smash Attack: Gyarados appears and uses Earthquake on a small segment of ground
Final Smash: Red Chain: Cyrus summons the artifact, leashes the opponent, and uses THEIR Final Smash
Shield: Crobat appears and serves as a shield
Grab: He doesn't so much grab so much as sort of pushes them over
Taunt: Cyrus doesn't taunt. He just turns around and takes a look at a book for a moment
Victory Stance: Cyrus doesn't gloat (well, not here anyway). He takes the Red Chain in hand and stares at it, muttering about how the state of things is deplorable.
Also losing stance! He just applauds in a non-sarcastic golf clap.
