Character Sheet: Skyla

SKYLA

Next, we come to Skyla, the Flying-type gym leader of Mistralton City, and a professional pilot in her own right. Her gym is full of cannons in the first games, and giant fans in the second, probably the second biggest reason I reconsidered the gym leaders in this way.

Here’s the moveset I came up with:

 

Standard B: Swanna

Performing acrobatics

 

Side B: Cannon

She will climb into one of her cannons from the first games’ gym and shoot herself across the stage.

 

Up B: Airplane

Now, just Fly would fit here fine, like with Falkner and Winona, but since she does fly a plane, she can take that up too.

 

Down B: Giant Fan

She will bring up a giant fan from the second games’ gym and use it to blow a strong wind across the stage.

 

Final Smash: Mistralton Gym Flying Aces

She will send out Swanna, Braviary, and Unfezant who will divebomb the stage.

 

Entrance: Her opening pose and line.

 

Taunts: Up, an “air battle” from the anime. Side, spinning and posing with an ace pilot pose. Down, tinkering with her plane.

 

Kirby Hat: Her hair and bows.

 

Kart: Based on her plane.

Special Move: Giant Fan.

 

Spirit Battle: On Castelia City (omega form), with her original team and strong winds.

 

Victory Screen: “See, I told you I would win.”

Losing Screen: Handing over her badge.

 

Color Swaps: Her normal outfit, one based on Elesa, one based on Winona, based on Swanna, based on Braviary, based on Altaria, based on Unfezant, based on Mandibuzz.
