Description
Skilled protector of Hallownest, Hornet weaves her way into Rivals of Aether!

Wielder of needle and thread, Hornet utilises agility and movement to dance around her opponents and the battlefield. Set up traps with her spiked barbs and silk wrap to extend combos or close out stocks.



Gimmick: Silk wrap
Certain moves can apply a Silk status onto opponents. Hitting silked opponents with certain other moves will wrap them in silk for a short period of time, allowing for an easy follow up.

Nspecial: Spike barb
Hornet throws a spiked barb in front of her, which remains in place on stage. The barb will hit any opponents in hitstun, and causes silked opponents to be wrapped on hit. Barbs can be bounced off using moves like Dair, Dattack and Uspecial.

Fspecial: Silk dash
Hornet encases herself in silk and dashes forwards. Opponents hit by the move will get the Silk status effect.

Uspecial: Needle throw
Hornet throws a needle in a straight line that travels a set distance before returning. The throw can be angled up or down by inputing direction during the move's startup. If the needle hits an opponent, the stage, or a barb, Hornet will grapple to the object. Opponents hit by the move will get the Silk status effect.

Dspecial: Silk sphere
Hornet's needle flies around her in a large sphere surrounding her, a large multihit attack that can kill off the top. Silked opponents will also become wrapped on hit.

Dair
Dair bounces off opponents and barbs, and can be b-reversed on startup. Dair can be canceled into a special, doublejump or airdodge after a certain amount of time.

Directional Taunts
Press a direction while pressing Taunt to make Hornet shout a voiceline while performing an attack (with much slower framedata)


A full voiced mode will be implemented whenever Silksong releases and I can extract the voice files.

can you add voice lines to her attacks rather then just the taunts

Other gripe, actually, why does her side taunt mimic dash attack? I get that it's meant to be like the game, but dash attack has so little range and is a combo move rather than a burst option (still not the most fond of it). You'd be better off in all scenarios just using regular dash attack. I feel like it should be side special instead, especially since it's a very similar move and can cause silk wrap like her up special (the other taunt move).

This character has taunts that act like her special moves but slower, which I think is an amazing mixup. She also strikes a strong balance of great on stage and bad off stage, which I think is fine. If I would change something, though, I would make it so that her up tilt or at least her dash attack don't send you so far up on hit. I would probably also make it so it's easier to silk wrap someone (maybe around 3 moves instead of 2).
All in all, I really like Hornet. I see her as a sword fighting version of Maypul, even down to her side special and ability to wrap others. Very sick lightweight character (they are lightweight, right?).

this character is an absolute joy to play, but I find they're too strong for everyone involved to have fun in friendlies.
I'd like it if you added some endlag to her down special. it's extremely difficult to punish on whiff at present. due to the incredible reward the move gives on a target with the silk status I don't think that it would be an unfair change.
