(yeah this is sort of a repost from the poll but this is basically a progress thread for Bomberman)
Bomberman

Representative of: Hudson Soft
First Game: Bomberman (1985 port in Japan)
Progress: 5% (only concept movesets are done)
Playstyle: Highly damaging character with his traps.

What's left?:
-Mainly sprites in order to start programming him. Still haven't decided whether to go with a Bomberman II-styled head (left sprite) or a Bomberman 1-styled head (right sprite)
-Need to figure out attacks for helpers.

Strengths:
-Scary damage output.
-Tons of knockdown options to help him set up bombs.
-Has a ranged attack that is unaffected by projectiles.
-Several anti-airs that can help keep the opponent from getting too close.

Weaknesses:
-Only special move that can be chained into and combo sacrifices Bomberman's health. His juggles are where most of his damage output comes from.
-Only reversal requires him to sacrifice health.
-Specials hit indirectly, require specific conditions to connect or are just plain risky.
-Poking game isn't entirely great, his pokes are either too short or have a bit of startup.

Moveset:

Basics
  • High Kick (B, Kick) - Long-ranged anti-air; goes over crouching opponents.

Specials
  • Dyna Sweep (D, DF, F, Punch) - Bomberman puts a bomb on the ground that blows up after several seconds. Holding backwards keeps the bomb in the same position while holding forwards or no direction will have him roll it along the ground. (Forwards will have him roll it farther) On hit, the bomb can launch the opponent upwards. The bomb itself bypasses anything but is unable to make contact until it explodes.
  • Bomb Toss (B, D, DB, Attack) - Bomberman tosses a bomb in an arc. Holding forwards or backwards will determine the arc it flies in. The attack button you press will determine the bomb's timer. (Kick has a much shorter timer) The bomb itself bypasses anything but is unable to make contact until it explodes.
  • Air Strike (F, D, DF, Punch) -Anti-air special; Bomberman jumps forward with his hand out and if he grabs an opponent, he'll toss them onto the ground with a bomb and it'll explode upon hitting the ground. Has some invincibility in the beginning. Can only grab aired opponents. Will get beaten out by other attacks once the invincibility wears off.
  • Self Destruct (F, DF, D, DB, B, Punch) -Bomberman whips out a bomb, holds it up and it explodes in his face. Bomberman is invincible during the whole start-up of this move and this move can connect after a basic attack. Every time it's used, Bomberman ends up losing health. This move is not safe on block.

EX Specials
  • EX Dyna Sweep (D, DF, F, Select+Punch) - The bomb is only laid on the ground but does not explode on it's own. Pressing A+B will cause the bomb to explode.
  • EX Bomb Toss (B, D, DB, Select+Attack) - Both versions have him throw one bomb with a long arc and a longer timer and another with a short timer and a high arc.
  • EX Air Strike (F, D, DF, Select+Punch) - Drops the invincibility but increases the damage.

Super Attacks
  • Flaming Impact (Level 1) (D, DF, F, DF, D, DB, B, Punch) - Bomberman gains a flame powerup and plants a bomb. It explodes and shoots a flame across the stage and one to the top of the screen. Good to use as an anti-air and avoids projectiles. Only super that can be chained into.
  • Explosive Target (Level 1) (D, DB, B, DB, D, DF, F, Punch) - Bomberman puts on a vest and holds out a bomb in front of him. Upon getting hit, the bomb blows up on both him and the opponent although Bomberman is left undamaged. The bomb will still blow up after a certain amount of time and the explosion can hit but it leaves Bomberman open.
  • Destruction (Level 3) (F, DF, D, DB, B, Punch + Kick) - Bomberman shoulder charges the opponent and on hit, grabs them, tosses them into a pit that appears out of nowhere that's filled with enemies, and then tosses a bomb into the pit, causing the whole pit to explode. The charge comes out super fast, has invincibility at the beginning and is projectile-invincible throughout the whole charge. Horribly unsafe on whiff or block.

Helpers:
Black Bomberman:
  • Standing - Runs at the opponent, bypassing any projectile. If he grabs (blockable) the opponent, he sticks a bomb in their hands and then runs off. The bomb itself will explode and the opponent will launch into the air. (1000 Power)
  • Crouching -

Lode Runner:
  • Standing - Creates a pit in front of him. The opponent can fall in and get trapped. (500 power)
  • Crouching - Climbs on the top of the screen and if he lines up with the opponent, he falls down and stomps on them. (500 power)

Challenger:
  • Standing - Tosses several knives at the opponent. (500 power)
  • Crouching -

Extra Stuff:
His standing sprite was based off of this:

Seems like a pretty spiffy and well though out character. I personally prefer his right form more, makes him look a bit more badass.

Here's Bomberman's possible final stance animation (yeah I accidentally blew his sprite up):


The eyes aren't exactly final, I might stick with those or use the Bomberman 1-like eyes.

Stick with Bomberman 2's eyes. The first ones don't look right in a way that makes me feel a bit paranoid looking at them. (No Offense)
