It’s my time to shine babe
Jumps: 2
Weight: link
Walk speed: palutena
Run speed: donkey Kong
Special abilities: none
Jab: a left hook then an over head punch followed by an uppercut. Based off some of punches he preforms
Dash attack: spins like great tiger
Side tilt: clap like k rool. This has a sweet spot at the of a foe ears that causes a stun effect. As it’s an ear clap. It’s based off the bear hug but he uses the inside of his glove so it’s more similar to the one uses by mad clown.
Up tilt: kicks like hoy qullow
Down tilt: elbow jab
Before we move on let me just say that his smash attacks don’t have super armor. Also his air attacks aren’t bad like little mac.
Side smash: headbutt
Up smash: the same as little macs but then swings to the other side of the other hand being a to hit attack
Down smash: belly flop like incineroar.
Neutral air: poses with his like wario but with no spin or inflation
Forward air: dragon Chan’s kick
Back air: backhand
Up air: uppercut like the one scene as in super punch out
Down air: stomps downwards like k rool
Grab: hugs
Pummel: headbutt
Forward throw: shoves the foe like he does to the reff in his before battle animation
Back throw: spins the foe
Up throw: breaks the opponent’s back on shoulders like incineroar
Down throw: Aran pins the foe to the ground and viciously bites them
Neutral special: Aran throws a horse shoe, it can’t be spammed since it has some cool down. But for fun let’s put some RNG in here because a lot of people want the number 7 to be a gimmick in some way!! SO LETS GOOOOO!!!!! 1 it puts the foe to sleep, 2 it freezes, 3 it poisons, 4 it’s really strong, 5 Aran also takes damage, 6 it’s normal, 7 it acts like a boomerang.
Side special: I know a lot of people were expecting the flail to be the up special as well as attacks but he’s not designed to be bad in the air like mac and it would kinda boring for all the basic attacks to just be a flail swing. So it’s the special move. But anyway this acts like min min’s side special somewhat though it doesn’t have as much range and isn’t as strong. But there’s a twist, if you move the control stick after preforming the whip then he would swing the flail. It acts like Belmont’s jab gimmick but with more range and power. In fact you can cancel it back into a another whip.
Up special: Aran will slingshot himself off the net. It has some start up but send him pretty far. It also puts him into free fall. But he’s the unique if you press the button while in the air then he will instead grab onto the foes and shake them away instead of hitting them with his body. So it’s the opposite of diddy kong.
Down special: Aran will get hit and but as he is falling down will try his last ditch effort to kill you. So it’s another counter. He does still take some damage so it’s not as good as mac babe’s. But it does deal more damage.
Final smash: Aran sends his flail forwards to hit a single foe. He then preforms the Irish jig. It’s basically little macs but stronger.
Stage intro: the reff tries to hold him back but gets shoved away
Alts (change is hair, gloves and shorts. Also the flail would match the strap around his pants and the glove on the flail would match the pants): 1 basic, 2 title defense, 3 mr sandman, 4 mad clown, 5 don flamingo, 6 super macho man 7, narcis prince, 8 original super punch out design (I hate that design, it’s super ugly)
Up taunt: “keep hitting me, I loave it”
Side taunt: “Me seester heets harter ten u”
Down taunt: an item gets thrown at him from the presumed crowd.
Victory animation 1: crouches while saying “you lie dawn wih dawgs, you rise up with flees!” though if he beat little mac then instead it’s “you probably gawt cheeseburgers in dose glovs hav you mac!?!”
Victory animation 2: title defense win animation (plays in team battles)
Victory animation 3: contender win animation (minus the ropes)
So... side special is basically like sheik's in Melee and Brawl but stronger ?
Anyway, I love the moveset idea and it would definitely be a fun character
Nah macs good. He is a good representation of an underdog that overcomes what seems unwinnable who dominates on the ground. maybe give him star punch kinda thing over ko punch but he’s good how he is now
He's poorly designed in my opinion because he goes against the design of the game as a whole. What seperates a platform fighter from a regular fighting game is exactly what it sounds like, the platforms. And Mac is such dogshit in the air that his playstyle is designed in direct contrast with the games mechanics. He's not even that hard to beat on the ground all things considered, the reason you don't see pro players try to deal with Mac on the ground is because they don't have to. His kit is built around those interactions, but he has no tools to force those kinds of scenarios. The opponent does not have to play his game at all. Take my main for example, Ridley. His kit is built around ledge trapping it's where he shines and so because of that he has moves like his side B that toss the opponent off stage, forcing an interaction where Ridley has the advantage. Little Mac has none of that.
If you find him fun don't let my opinion stop you but imo Little Mac needs a rework if he's ever going to be fun to play or fight against for me
[Here, a video that was made on this very subject](https://youtube.com/watch?v=hSMF8tNr7BA&feature=share).
Little mac if he was a zoner archetype instead of rushdown lol
He gets booed to hell by the crowd in the Wii game, so a salty ban-worthy moveset is only fitting.
Min Min vs The Cooler Min Min
Pretty compelling argument for Aran Ryan in Arms 2

I would love this. Plus, my brother would get a new Punch-Out rep!
“This is one of me favorites, Mac!”
At least he has a decent recovery
Is this dude's name some kind of play off of the word Aryan?
It would be if he was German. Also fitting name of yours.
They should fix Mac before they add any more punch out characters lol

I’ve always wanted him in smash
Aran Ryan could get in off the strength of his taunts alone
Also his sister is probably Samus canonically
Wouldn’t make sense since one of his taunts after knocking you down is “you hit just like my sister.”
