Mad Jack

Inspired by "Mad Jack" Churchill, a Scotsman from the British Army who believes that any man who marches to war without his claymore is improperly dressed. As such, Mad Jack is a lumbering, overdressed soldier wielding a massive blade and a bow, and a set of bagpipes on his back.

Moves

  • Various claymore strikes. Weak version strikes overhead with the pommel, strong version is a weighty horizontal chop.
  • Bow and arrow. Power, distance, and speed depend on how long the attack button is pressed. Charging for too long has a chance to break the bow string, canceling the shot.
  • A combo of slow, deliberate strikes that ends with a loud *HRRNNK* from the bagpipes, sending the opponent flying away.
  • Jack begins walking forward while tooting with his bagpipes. Press any button to combo it into another action.
    • Punch causes Jack to headbutt the opponent with appropriate honking noise.
    • Kick cancels the song and returns him to normal stance.
  • SUPER: Dialing in a super combo during the bagpipes causes Jack to "honk" his claymore into the air, catch it by the handle, and use the momentum to spin with the blade for a highly powerful attack that hits low, then high.
  • SUPER: In the style of Robin Hood: Men In Tights, Jack draws his entire quiver of arrows and launches them all at once. A few hit instantly, some take time to reach the target, others ricochet off the edges of the screen and bounce around until they hit something.
