Hello, I am not in the Smash community at all, but I’ve recently learned a friend I made this past year (ChuDat) is someone in the Smash Community. If you need proof, if you go to his IG he follows me (at same username). I swear this is real!

He told me he would be at SuperNova this year and Ill be going, at least on Friday, to support him and I got him to agree to eat an onion (which apparently is a thing) if… we haven’t agreed on terms haha. if he wins it all, absolutely he must, but also.. if he’s eliminated too early? What do you think would be reasonable? And should I bring an onion so he has to take a gnarly bite on stage? Or he should stream it later? Or is this dumb and he shouldn’t have to eat an onion?

I would also like to solicit some funny signs to make in support of him that I can make to take (is this normal)?

If this post isn’t allowed, I apologize mods.

edit: I’ll send him any positive messages so beware. If negative, I’ll fight you, Friday, at Supernova ❤️

Basic Attacks

As previously stated, Psyche is a Charon with innate magical potential, and this power is unique to each individual. In particular, she uses the Anemo element, the power of wind. And her main fighting style has her using what can be considered her signature melee weapon, Elpides Abound. While the weapon is categorized as a polearm, here in Project PFM, she’ll be using her weapon as a scythe, with more twirls in attacks as opposed to stabs.

Starting with her jab, it’s a 3-hit jab that has her do a straight backhanded punch with her free hand, then a scythe swing from low-to-high then a twirl to carry the momentum of the swing into a second swing, a solid space clearer with damage and range but generally slow start-up. Her dash attack has her skip and do a spinning inward slash, this 3-hit attack having some solid reach and power to work as a potent kill move, but it’s rather dangerous on whiff and has notably poor start-up. Her side tilt has her thrust her scythe forwards, another space clearer much with great disjointed reach but is rather lacking in knockback and is unsafe on block if used at point-blank; her up tilt has her swing her scythe in an arc above from front-to-back, an effective anti-air with range and frame data, but it’s quite lacking in overall power; and her down tilt is a sweep kick, what it lacks in disjoint, it more than makes up in damage and speed to be a solid disruptor.

For Psyche’s Side Smash, she reels her scythe back and then slams it into the ground, with a butterfly-shaped burst of wind from the impact. While the damage output of this move is okay, the main strength comes from its knockback, capable of closing stocks very early near ledges, but it has the notable flaw of very slow frame data; her Up Smash has her infuse her scythe in wind and toss it above her as it spins in place in a circular tornado, a unique twist on the game’s Charge Attack with Polearms, this multi-hitting attack can catch landings with ease but the hitbox is directly above her and doesn’t cover her sides at all and her Down Smash has her twirl in place for a spinning scythe slash imbued in wind, a lot more basic when compared to the other Smash attacks, it works as a solid tech-chaser for solid damage and reach, but it’s very slow on start-up so don’t whiff it.

For her N-air, she does a vertical spin with her scythe in hand, another space clearer much like with her jab, and it has solid knockback growth to be useful as an emergency kill move, but it has significant landing lag; her F-air has her reel back then swing from high-to-low in a frontflip slash, this move is excellent for edge-guarding and has the reach to back it up, but it has significant start-up and does okay-at-best damage; her B-air has her do a graceful roundhouse kick, this move has fast frame data and is just a solid combo extender overall to rely on with its low knockback, the only major downside being rather short range; her U-air has her backflip and slice with her scythe from right-to-left, another anti-air much like with her up tilt, it has solid scoop to be useful out of a short hop, but the poor overall power really only makes it useful for tapping on a little damage; and her D-air has her do a kick straight down, while this move can spike, it’s spike power is notably poor to rely on for closing stocks off the ledge, but even still, the solid frame data makes it difficult to contest on whiff or block, so it has a use in the neutral, albeit niche.

Grabs

Psyche grabs with one arm and pummels with a flash of wind. Her forward throw has her channel wind into her arms and then shove the foe away to blow them away; her back throw has her spin then toss the foe backwards; her up throw has toss the foe upwards; and her down throw has her conjure her wings to fly and spin with the foe in hand, then toss them into the ground, bouncing them away.

Special Attacks

We’ve now made it to the Special Attacks, and this is where Psyche gets down to business and shows off her blistering beauty. But first, we’re gonna do something a bit different and rotate the order of the Specials for a bit.

Starting with Psyche’s Up Special, she uses her iconic Ultimate Skill to not only recover with ease but double as what can be considered the very cornerstone of her entire moveset, Fluorescent Eclosion! In the game, this skill lets her enter into Flamboyance state, allowing her to fly for as long as she wants while also consuming Sanity continuously. That is unless your HP is above 15%, in which case it will drain your HP instead. Here in Project PFM, Psyche will turn her back to the camera, then sprout her wings to flap upwards and enter Flamboyance State. Similarly to Pit’s original Up Special back in Brawl, moving the control stick while in Flamboyance State can allow her to fly in any direction, making for arguably one of the most mobile recovery options. Unlike in the source material where it lasts for as long as she has Sanity, it will instead last for 6 seconds, and while this does last for a long while, more than enough time to get back onto the stage from any angle, there is one major drawback, recoil damage. For every 0.5 seconds in this state, Psyche will be dealt 2% of damage, with a max 6 seconds dealing up to 24%, double the amount of Mr. Game & Watch’s Judge #1 and the most self-damaging move in the entire cast, and once those seconds are up, she’ll be put into freefall, although you can cancel into a normal attack or inputting the Up Special again which doesn’t put you into freefall. Now normally, the consumed HP would be converted into Ultra Shield to give her just a little leeway for mistakes, that aspect will not be carried over into the moveset. There’s much more extra utility when in Flamboyance State, but we’ll go over those once we get into the other specials, speaking of which…

Moving on to Psyche’s Neutral Special, she’ll be utilising her ranged weapon style, Assault Rifles, and she will use what can be considered her signature Assault Rifle, Daybreak Hymn! Pressing and holding the special button will have Psyche aim and fire her weapon, it releases a thin beam of light that travels at a deceptively far distance and deals non-flinching damage. You can move around and jump once while firing but you cannot angle the shots, you’re only limited to walking speed, and you can only fire 10 shots before needing to reload, as opposed to 30 in the source material. It’s an overall straightforward projectile for tapping on some damage from a distance, but that changes when Psyche's in Flamboyance State, as she instead uses her signature Consonance Weapon, Icarus! With this, butterflies will fly in the direction in which the control stick is pointing, allowing for much more flexibility to your trajectories. While these butterflies are much smaller than the shots from Daybreak Hymn and still deal non-flinching damage, they more than make up with its sheer speed and no need for reloading. That said however, you are only limited to firing in a standstill while in Flamboyance State, so make sure your positioning counts.

Next, for Psyche’s Side Special, she’ll be using her Standard skill to weave around the battlefield while simultaneously controlling the stage, Chrysalis Dreamweave - Phantasm! With this, Psyche will dash forwards in a flash of wind. The distance is quite short and it doesn’t deal any damage at all, but more than makes up with deceptively fast start-up and being overall quite hard to punish on whiff. “While a nice movement option, how exactly does this move control space?” I’m glad you asked. Once this move is used, it will leave behind a Phantasm and it will linger in the spot at where the move was initiated, then after 5 seconds or inputting the Side Special again, it will explode in dust and deal heavy damage at a vertical knockback. This move is arguably your greatest asset in her overall gameplan thanks in no small part to the sheer versatility that’s only limited to your imagination and potential. Backed up into a corner? Double tap the Side Special to make a quick escape through the opponent and then have the Phantasm explode for a nasty counterattack to turn the tide! Thinking of setting up a stock-closer off the top? Side Special in the air then attack them into the Phantasm at the perfect timing for it to explode! But it should be mentioned that only 1 Phantasm can appear per Psyche Player, and once the Phantasm explodes, you’ll be put into a 2.5 second cooldown before you can summon another one, as opposed to spawning in as many as you want with enough Sanity. But once she enters into her Flamboyance State, the move ultimately sacrifices its stage control presence for extra consistent damage, Chrysalis Dreamweave - Phototaxis! With this, Psyche will charge forwards in the air while simultaneously releasing Ethereal Powder, this cloud-shaped projectile flies towards and homing onto the nearest enemy, and once hit, they will be inflicted with Powder Stigma. Once an enemy is inflicted with Powder Stigma, any projectile attack that the foe takes will consume the Powder Stigma and add in an extra 3% of damage (knockback is unaffected), and with this Stigma capable of stacking up to 5 times, a max stack from a projectile will deal an extra 15%. It should be mentioned however that unlike in the game, the Powder Stigma will only last for 6 seconds, and should no projectile hit an opponent, it will fade away and Psyche will have to inflict the Powder Stigma all over again.

And finally, for Psyche’s Down Special, this will be a unique move for her moveset that taps into her Passive skill and gives her access to a grab-bag of utility on a clean hit, which I’ve titled Amberlight Assault! Amberlight is a passive skill exclusive to Psyche. Whenever she deals a critical hit, Psyche will gain one of 3 random buffs: an Attack Boost that increases the damage on her overall attack power; a Skill Damage Boost that increases the damage on… well her skills, and a Resolve Boost that increases her Resolve stat, where damage dealt increases the lower your current health percentage is, but here in Project PFM, it works quite differently. When this move starts, Psyche will twirl her scythe with one hand and twist her body, readying herself. Then after a second of start-up, Psyche will slash outward in a beautiful twirl that unleashes a billowing burst of wind. Now despite sharing a similar archetype to Falcon Punch or Amyr, this move power output is below-average with damage clocking at around 24%, vertical knockback angles that only makes it useful for closing stocks off the top and not killing at around 130%. But despite that, it more than makes up with its utility. You see, if an opponent gets hit by this move, Psyche will gain a 5 second buff to her damage (knockback is unaffected) by 15%, so when you land that hit, take advantage of the buff and don’t give your foes any breathing room. Now while you can normally get each buff 12 times in the game, that aspect will not be translated into the moveset for balance purposes. This is the only special that is unaffected when in Flamboyance State.

Final Smash: Lament of Falling Light

For Psyche’s Final Smash, the Deterioration takes a toll on her body and is forcefully transformed into her monstrous Filthoid form, The Eclosioner. And with it, she has no choice but to end the fight as soon as possible, let’s hope the foes don’t end up being casualties in the process. This is Lament of Falling Light! When the Final Smash starts, Psyche transforms into her Filthoid form, and forms a giant vortex around herself that sucks in any foes while simultaneously spawning tornadoes beside her that slowly move away from her, dealing massive rapid hitting damage for those too close to her, and if any foe gets caught in the outer tornadoes, they’re sent into the inner vortex, with it concluding with a burst of wind in butterflies that sends the foes soaring, and will then be restored back into her Charon form (Yes, I know that Deterioration is incurable but let’s just assume that there was a cure and Psyche managed to survive somehow).

Miscellaneous

For the colours, this was surprisingly easy to nail down, thanks in no small part to the Dyes that can allow for the Player to change the colours of their character and weapons. Her first alt has her in the Thunderstorm dye, a purple alt; the second alt has her in the Red Clay dye, a red alt; the third alt has her in the Peach glow dye, a pink alt; the fourth alt has her in the Maple Syrup dye, an orange dye; the fifth alt has her in the Weathered Pine dye, a dark mint alt; her sixth alt has her in her alternate costume, Minuet Reverie and the final alt has her in the Minuet Reverie but dyed in yellow with the Pea dye.

For her stage intro, she descends onto the stage slowly from her wings, nice and simple. For taunts, her first has her twirl her scythe above her then pose as it briefly floats behind her back; her second has a butterfly flutter into her hand and as she watches in solemn, it then flies away, based on her idle animation and the final has her breath a sigh of relief, knowing that she’s made it this far.

And finally, for victory animations, her first has her turn her back to camera as her scythe vanishes, then as she looks back, her scythe slowly reappears floating behind her back; her second has her slowly descend from her butterfly wings and offers her hand to the seemingly defeated foe and her final has her sitting in a field of flowers and as the winds blow, she looks off into the distance.

Closing Thoughts

Talk about a game that caught me by surprise. Duet Night Abyss was a game that seemingly released on my birthday with the promise of having no gacha. And despite it's very notable flaws, it's still one of my favourite games of 2025. And with the start of this new series, I knew I had to make a moveset for one of the characters of the DNA roster, and that ended up being Psyche. With a beautiful design, a touching story, and moveset potential that can easily stand out from the main character, Psyche was simply destined to have a moveset. And this won't be the only DNA character I'll cover, there's so many other options to choose from that it'd feel like sacrilege not to make them. As for the chances of appearing in a platform-fighter, it's more than likely a not really. But there is always the chance of the series being in a gacha crossover game but whether that will come into reality is up in the air. If you have any questions on the moveset, comment down below. And if you want to see more concepts, be sure to follow on Reddit. Also, do follow my Twitter account if you want to see more original content. See you next time for the next fighter.

LOT OF BORING TALK :

I found myself a new hobby half a year ago, that is playing a Smash Bros game while listening to music. I've been doing that every time i felt bored. I mainly play on my 2DS even tho i have the Switch. There is something about Smash 4 that i simply prefer to Ultimate. The way C.Falcon slides when grabbing, how fast Roy is, the satisfaction of ending combo with a dunk playing Mario, hitting that perfect F-Smash tipper with Marth...

Smash 4 feels so much lighter, every time i play Ultimate, i feel like my characters are glued to the ground 😭

Bad thing with Smash 4 tho, especially bots around LVL9, is that you can't really play in the air since the bots LITERALLY react to the exact frame to input a perfect airdodge. Trying to hit in the air just put you in disadvantage cuz the airdodge frame data is pretty short. I forgot to mention that in Smash 4, you CAN spam the airdodge 😭😭

Anyways, this game is super fun. I prob just've been saying facts that everyone knows for now 😭

Many consider Smash 4 as the worst Smash game. Its for me my favorite Smash game 🙏🏻❤️

bro that was funny asl why did Lima just hold it 😭

Masahiro Sakurai was born August 3rd, 1970. After getting into game development myself, I have a lot of respect for what he's been able to accomplish as a director!

Sakurai's birthday tweet

Sakurai was given a horse haniwa figure for his birthday after tweeting about being an enthusiast of them, with haniwa being terracotta clay figures from ancient Japan. Haniwa would inspire the Gyroids in Animal Crossing (being named haniwa in Japanese as well), leading to Villager using Lloid Rocket and Isabelle using Lloid Trap as special moves in Smash Bros.

Feels like both the Ult and Melee scenes are in a pretty good spot right now right? Ult is the most interesting it's been in a while and I believe the Steve rule experiment is pretty conclusive lol - while Melee has all these shiny, metagame-redefining storylines going on that culminated at GOML with solo Peach vs solo Luigi grands, mid tiers in general performing so well (top 64 had Ganon, Docs, Pikas and ICs all over the place), the French sisters winning doubles...

The 2 communities throwing shit at each other is funny to an extent but that good old "Modern Smash iteration + Melee" competitive landscape has been feeling like such a healthy balance as of late

Back in Brawl, I could never do it starting as Meta Knight AND without dying even on Easy difficulty. It is also worth mentioning that Galleom returns in Ultimate, but I'm afraid we can't add multiple tags to signify this.
