Post Anniversary Era - 29th Moveset
As the founder of Cryptoland, Connie brings in thousands of crypto-obsessed geeks to his luxury island in the hopes that they'll relax and get caught up in the surroundings so they don't think about what's really going on. This works for many visitors, but when the Sheriff of Nottingham makes a visit to his favorite vacation spot, things at Cryptoland seem great at first but then slowly take a turn for the worse as he notices more unusual things with the island, getting reminded about some past memories involving his allies...
It took around two years from conception for this to be fully realized, but I am thrilled to finally get the final product behind what started off as an in-joke with the TSLZ production off the ground! The Cryptoland animation always had a so bad it's good quality to me with many aspects ranging from the uncanny animation and stolen assets to the mere reason for its existence playing a factor into that opinion. Connie was a unique fighter to write up, mainly because of the main gimmick of the Cryptometer which we utilized, which was designed to help either help or hinder anyone who mains him depending on how well they know to work with it and develop strategies for it. I think the main challenge of the set was making sure the set was viable (and for a crypto/NFT character of all things), and at least to give players some reason to play as Connie over other fighters. Overall, it was definitely one of the most unique movesets to write for, and I'll admit the production crew and I probably spent a lot more time and effort on Connie's animations than the team behind Cryptoland did on their animation.
The bonus segment was a lot of fun to write up, particularly Paper Bowser and Kammy's interaction at the end, and I thought writing up dialogue for these two was a lot of fun.
Also, stay tuned until the end for a surprise!
This should go without saying, but none of us on the TSLZ team support the use of cryptocurrency and NFTs in any form.
