>>33372673Even at Pikachu's height? That's not unreasonable. Shit, I'll even come with a quit special moveset for the little bastard:
B: Drain Punch - pulls back both fists, and then launches one first forward in an underhand position Bruce Lee style. If it connects, saps health from an opponent and gives it to Marshadow.
Side B: Close Combat - holding down B charges up, and releasing it causes Marshadow to jump backwards and then dash forward into a rush. When he strikes a target, he immediately beats it down.
Up B: Rolling Kick - Marshadow does a leaping roundhouse kick and lands with a stomp.
Down B: Spectral Thief - Marshadow goes into a stance and extends its shadow directly in front of it. The hitbox of this move locks opponents in place and saps their power. Changes what stats get buffed for Marshadow/debuffed for opponent based on which character the attack was used on (ex. using on Bowser increases Marshadow's weight, using on PIkachu his speed, etc.)
Final Smash: Soul Stealing 7-Star Strike - works and looks just it does in Pokemon SM. Can hit multiple targets.
It could also have moves like Fire/Thunder/Ice Punch for standards, Shadow Claw, Poison Jab, its dodge could be based on Shadow Sneak... it could be a really cool, varied close range fighter. It would be short, speedy, and deal damage (plus two of its attacks "draining" opponents), but balanced by it being incredibly light, defensively frail, and having literally no ranged attacks.
