Papyrus/FourthRhyme's first version

The soon to be member of the royal guard enters Mugen with custom spites edited from UNDERTALE, his friends, and sink, for helpers, and three hypers with different effects.

Gameplay


Papyrus uses, and  for his basics, as well as in the commands for the special and hyper moves. These commands are fairly simple, allowing both beginning and advanced players to make full use of the character.

Papyrus's specials are all helpers of some sort, each different from the other and only one being summonable at a time. Of Papyrus's three hypers, two deal damage and one is more assist-based; Fabled Blue Attack only deals damage to moving opponents, which can be effective when timed to an opponents AI pattern, Shoppin'  lets the player select between either Tem Shop or Muffet, the former granting Papyrus armor that buffs his attack and restores his HP, whilst the latter summons Muffet's Pet to chase the opponent and bite them for damage. Finally, Portal Kombat creates a portal in the stage, which will randomly spawn assists on a timed interval. A unique feature of the assists is that both Mettaton and the very tall sink can be pushed around the stage, which can surprise unexpecting opponents.

Unfortunately, the character does have some problems; Some hitboxes are a bit inconsistent, Mettaton can corner an opponent if pushed enough times, and there are some misplaced gethit sprites.

Being built off the authors own Candyman character, Papyrus uses custom AI. It is relatively similar to the base character's AI, have an easy AI that frequently attempts to knock down airborne players.

 * Interestingly, there is code referencing a character with the internal name Undertale Alphys by FourthRhyme in the lose-by-time state and Alphys -Soul Mode- by FourthRhyme in the anti-cheap list. This could mean that FourthRhyme plans to create Alphys sometime in the future. The internal name Papyrus -Soul Mode- by FourthRhyme is also referenced
 * Portal Kombat 's name is a reference to both the Mortal kombat franchise an event level found in the first Plants vs. Zombies game.


 * There appears to be an unused animation for a bone-throw attack in Papyrus's .air file, although no coding for the attack exists, with the animation number not even being referenced in the .cns files.
