taunting makes you metal

[djlo]

easy peasy: after mario shrinks back to normal from his taunt, he gets a metal box. it doesnt have to be permanent. is pretty balanced since being metal has cons(harderr to recover)

[zikkh]

Hmm, I don't know. It'd cool if he could adjust how much metal affects characters to begin with. Like, if metal made characters "half as heavy" as it does now then I'd say it'd be pretty balanced. (heavy as in, not falling slower but getting knocked away farther)

What if it made him giant instead? It would fit the taunt better, and having a much bigger hitbox is a pretty fair tradeoff.

that could be cool too. i know that 20xx pack has the ability to play as gigabowser, sopo, male wireframe etc. it would be cool to have metal mario in there some how.

I second taunt > metal, especially since you have to work to get his taunt in full. Maybe having an option for giant would be cool too, e.g. taunt up on d-pad for giant, down on d-pad for Metal... left for invisible? (Is there a state that can pass as flying hat?)

Also these should definitely be temporary, but lengthy enough to reward finishing Mario's taunt.

i think metal wouldnt need to be temporary(but would reset on respawn) cuz like i said it has downsides(effectively makes you a super heavy fastfaller so you can be comboed easily).

same with giant, since it enlarges your hurtboxes.

invisible could be cool if it used the cloaking device(but still allowed you to take damage, which the cd doesnt)

for flying, maybe he gets like 5 extra double jumps?

more than one seems hard though so my vote is for metal

[thedarkwhite]

^I'd say maybe 1-3 extra jumps/just one crazy high 3rd jump/bunny hood jump buff stats/something else.

I agree though--out of everything, I'd prefer metal.
