Seelkadoom The Hedgehog (Sonic RPG) [CMC+ v7]
- A Mod for Super Smash Bros. Crusade.
Dr. Eggman's failed experiment gets sent to Crusade! What kind of power will the fighters witness? Find out by downloading this mod! (and also doing chores to make the mod work on your crusade build)
Seelkadoom has the gimmick of having Mana Points (MP). MP is very useful, without it some attacks will be weaker than you want them to be...
How to get MP? Seelkadoom gains MP passively, but at a very slow rate. If you want to gain MP much faster, use Down Special - Osmose. It absorbs the MP of your enemy (sort of), but it has limited range so you can't use it too far away.
When you have max MP, Down and Up Smash attacks become insanely powerful. Use them wisely, as you lose all MP when you execute Up/Down Smash.
There are other uses of MP, but I won't comment them here. Find out for yourself!
Hey friend, one day you would make a final smash to the mod, I know that it is already very powerful but seriously you need a final smash that guarantees good damage to the enemy.

Review TLDR: rushdown is your friend, mana isn't.
Seelkadoom is a well crafted character despite his origins. He's a overly flashy powerhouse that uses oppressive tools to keep the match under his favour. Although I don't really want to focus on his primary moveset, moreso talk about his special attacks, primarily his meter reliant ones.
The way you gain "mana" as Seelkadoom is with the use of Osmose, his down special. It's a simple charge you can hold and gain even more charges over time. This is important, as it's needed for oddly chosen moves that become unusable once he's out of charges, and consumed by other moves that aren't affected by the unusable state.
I think this is the one character that deserves a meter if anything. I was confused when I first played him when my down tilt didn't come out the second time after using it, until I figured out what was the cause. If you or anyone else wishes to improve him this way, then go right ahead. It will be much appreciated.
Another glaring flaw is some of his Mana affected attacks. Side B and Up B are unaffected by this, since they are somewhat useful in their own right. Unfortunately, his down tilt, Up Smash and Down Smash are very mediocre, the former two especially. Use Down Smash only for cheese with it's impressive range. At max, it's very good, almost too good.
I don't think it was intentional to see his Mana charge as a flaw to his gameplan, but when stacked against the rest of the cast he does a lot what they can do for free. There's a lot of potential to see this character perform at his best, but right now, he's below average in the special department. If you want to use him for rushdown strategies, go right ahead.
To conclude, he is a very stylish, very well put together character, taking his flawed Mana system aside. He has terrific aerials and very safe attacks, making him perfect for anyone who's aiming to play a fast paced fighter who can unleash a power blast at any given moment.
there's an error on seelkadoom's dat file. the last alt that shows on the busts and portraits doesn't show unless you increase the number on the dat file from 7 to 8 to finally be selectable
fully charged max mp down smash does a total of 78%. That's kinda too much if you asked me. try decreasing the max amount to 50% and the minimum amount to at least 25%. the size could be kept the same. the first hit of side smash could do 15% instead of 20% also set the up smash projectiles to do 5% per proj instead of 10%. another thing, decrease the distance for osmose by either half or 1/3 the distance. he's also slightly bigger than shadow unless that's the point. one last thing, make zair deactivate the free flight up special gives you instead of having to press up special again. Those changes could make him a little more balanced to play as and fight against. everything else is pretty much ok.
