Suika Ibuki (Touhou) [0.9.3]

Download Link HERE!

Suika Ibuki is an Oni, who as expected loves drinking and fighting. Though she seemingly has no signs of ever being sober once she laid her chains on her trusty Ibuki Gourd. A gourd that infinitely replenishes sake just by closing the lid!
Her shtick is being to manipulate mass and interact with "things without shape" (Such as souls), and has massive strength to boot! Even being able to increase her own size, turn hair strands into miniature clones of herself or turn herself into mist!
With her powers she "gathered thoughts" of everyone in the world of Gensokyo to make them throw feasts or parties more frequently than anyone should.
Which eventually lead to an investigation by Reimu Hakurei and co. when Suika kept this going for a little too long...

Suika is a mix of a Brawler and a Zoner. Her special moves Spreadshot Oni, Spectre -Thin- and Gathering Oni allows her zone with relative ease. Even her Down Smash is a great option as well!
But if those options are out of the table... She's no slouch when engaging with close range combat either! With hard hitting moves like Side Smash, Up Smash, Down Tilt and Down Air.
Then moves such as Jab, Side Tilt or Forward Air to serve as quick or disjointed options if you need to play safer.


Special Moves

Neutral Special: Spreadshot Oni
Throws a single projectile that explodes into multiple projectiles in a circle. They don't do much damage on their own, but it covers a lot of space.
How far you throw the projectile depends on how long you hold the B button before she throws it.

Side Special: Spectre -Thin-
Suika pulls out some strands of hair to turn into miniature clones of herself! You can select 2 variants of this move whether you tap or hold the B button. 1st variation has the clones fly.
While the 2nd variation has the clones run on the ground. Grounded variant moving overall faster.

Up Special: Unpleasant Mist
Turns Suika into mist. Making her invincible for a short time. Also allows you to control freely in the air. Though this move deals no damage at all.

Down Special: Gathering Oni
Throws a Black Hole that pulls enemies towards the center. How far you throw the Black Hole depends on how long you hold the B button before she throws it.

Final Smash: Gathering Oni
Increases her own size exponentially! Dealing a nasty hitbox just as she grows bigger. Then you are free to rampage at your hearts content! (For a limited time)
She would grow larger than having 2 Super Mushrooms in quick succession. But the mobility is decreased in the process.

- "Blue Sky Blue", "Yuria de Mode", "Choco Rabbits". 3 different Voice Actors are listed from Suika's Mugen webpage. And of course... Language barrier makes it hard to figure which ones are actually used. So listing all 3 here until further clarification can be made.
