[@Lmpkio]'Tis the specials I don't get.

The specials are basically the smash attacks. For Ex: Mario's neutral special is plucking fireballs, side special being the cape, up special being the Super Jump Punch, and the down special being to use FLUDD. In SSB4, you can also customize the move sets with 2 custom moves being available, though I'll put this as an optional thing.

[@Lmpkio] For my character, as a hint, I've gone for the sort of strange appearance of how Solid Snake as brought in, except a completely different franchise, move-sets and characteristics.

Using a revamped Snake eh? This'll be interesting. What are you thinking?
