Weapons for characters! (character design, not cosmetics)#418

A little thing I just thought of.

Rivals 2 has a TON of freedom when it comes to character design, so I’d personally LOVE to see some unique weapons on characters!

We’ve already got great examples:
Olympia: Crystal boxing gloves? Awesome.
Maypul: Leaf Katars? Awesome.
La Reina: Wrestling style with a steel chair?!? Dope!

But uh… the other weapons… are kinda basic? Like, Clairen having a laser sword IS cool don’t get me wrong, but then lox just has an axe, fors just has a dagger, slade just has a sword, fleet just has a bow…

Again, still fit thematically amazingly! But I’d love to see some more uncommon weapons in upcoming characters. I’m sure Mina will have a ton, but something like a meteor hammer, or a bo staff, or a whip, or a spear, or broadsword like a zweihander…

I could go on, but you get the idea lol.

(Personally, I’d love to see a type of vehicle lol, whacking people with a motorbike sounds dope, ie wario ssbu)

I’d love to hear other people’s ideal weapons to see in-game, too!

I’m hoping we get some proper staff action if Master Cai gets added in, we don’t really have much in the way of polearm users across platfighters. Artemis’s halberd would also qualify.

Both of these are pretty simple and basic weapons, but I’m sure they’d come with their own elemental gimmicks to add some flair
