Character Sheet: Rauru

RAURU

Now, let us go through and cover all characters now added thanks to their appearance in Tears of the Kingdom, either newcomers or old characters given more to work with, and at least one that got added through association. They are:

1. Tulin

2. Mineru

3. Purah

4. Rauru

5. Sonia

6. Zonai Construct

7. Gibdo

8. ReDead

9. Gleeok

10. Phantom Ganon

Next up, we have Rauru, the ancient king of Hyrule and leader of the Zonai people. He was the one who sealed Ganondorf away, and it is his hand that takes the place of Link's missing one. His moveset is a fairly easy movepool to work with, as it is literally through him that Link can use all of his new Zonai abilities, those being Fuse, Ultrahand, Ascend, Recall, and Autobuild. I have plenty to work with there.

Here is the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Ultrahand

A first press of it will shoot forward a beam that will let you pick up an opponent, a second press when the opponent is against something else will let you seal them to it for a short time (Think of it like every opponent is a Korok).

Side B: Fuse

It would probably be too complicated for this to let you fuse any two items into a bigger one, so in lieu of that, let's say it gives you three common fusions (say the rock hammer, the targeting arrow, and the fire rod) and cycles between the three.

Up B: Ascend

You can fly straight up and even pass through solid objects, letting you recover even when under the stage.

Down B: Recall

This will act as a counter of sorts, with you using it on oncoming projectiles, sending them back the way they came as projectiles against their user.

Final Smash: Sealing the Darkness

Now, while I'd love to make it be an autobuild of one of the many, many creative giant mechs players have created in the game, we have others that can take that up. Instead, we will have him launch forward against an opponent, place his hand against their chest, and seal them in place for a thousand years.

Entrance: He will appear out of a beam of light.

Taunts: Up, he will look to the sky and stroke his beard. Side, he will hold out his hand and flex it for a second. Down, he will drop something, then recall it.

Kirby Hat: His ears and hair.

Kart: A kart built through Ultrahand.

Special Move: He will use Recall on another racer, sending them back the way they came from a short distance. (That is evil, but I love it)

Spirit Battle: Himself and Sonia on Great Sky Island.

Victory Screen: He and Sonia will appear together, and they will nod to the player.

Losing Screen: He will stumble, say he failed, and break apart into glowing runes.

Color Swaps: His normal appearance, a green ghostly appearance, a version based on Zelda, Gorons, Ritos, Gerudo, and Zoras, and one that bears a distinct resemblance to his Ocarina of Time namesake.

Thanks for reading! Next up, Queen Sonia turns back time.
