Fanmade Dissidia NT Moveset: Machina

Hey! So I've constantly thought about who should make it into Dissidia NT's growing roster when I noticed that Type-0 and Tactics are lacking in Spiritus/Villain reps. So I thought about Type-0 and figured that Machina should take that role. While it can be disputed that Machina should belong to Materia, since he is the closest Type-0 can get to a Main Protagonist, his actions in the game itself would title him the Antagonist in many cases.

And Opera Omnia listed him as one of Spiritus' warriors so...

Machina Kunagiri

Source Game:

Final Fantasy Type-0

Faction

Warriors of Spiritus

Role

Assassin / SPEED

Unique Mechanic: AG Gauge

Machina can extend the amount of bravery hits in his attacks at the cost of Dash Gauge. This is meant to resemble the AG Gauge present in Type-0. The extensions cost 25% Total Dash Gauge per second.

Bravery Attacks

Neutral Ground (2 Inputs)

Slash to the right with both Bolt Rapiers, then repeat towards the left.

Forward Ground (1 Input)

Dive forward with Rapiers extended, drilling into them, then drawing Rapiers out

Neutral Air (2 Inputs)

Slash to the right with both Rapiers, then swing downwards.

Forward Air (1 Input)

Charge towards foe, drilling into them before shoving them away

Dash (1 Input)

(Ground) Roll forward and extend right Rapier

(Air) Spin anti-clockwise and extend right Rapier.

HP Attacks

Cyclone Drive

Machina pulls his Rapiers back, hunching over before leaping forward, extending his blades forward with drills spinning.

Siphon Sword

Machina jumps forward, extending his Right Rapier to pierce into an enemy. Restore 10% of HP Damage dealt.

Stunning Slash

Machina slashes both blades to the right, then left, ending the attack with a inward to outward slash

Guardian Blades

Machina extends his rapiers outwards beside him, forming blue shields before spinning in place. Blocks incoming BRV attacks. Successful HP attack grants Defense Buff for 15 seconds, shown by blue plates rotating Machina.

EX: Awakening

60 Second cooldown

Assume an aggressive stance, emitting a red aura while doubling attack speed, and allowing Machina to chain his Bravery Attacks into a HP attack. Depletes Dash Gauge while in use (10% per second) and being on the ground doesn’t recover Dash Gauge. However,successfully landing BRV attacks will increase the Dash Gauge. (50% Dash Gauge per successful attack), and the Dash Gauge cost for extending attacks is removed during Awakening.

Cutscene in NT

New DLC character's don't get one. I'm sad.

The Camera opens up with a view of Akademeia, before a white portal brings out Ace, Ramza and Kain. Ace takes a few steps forward, looking upwards.

Ace: This is where my class stays between missions...

Ramza and Kain walk closer to Ace.

Ramza: You also lived inside of an academy?

Ace looks to Ramza, nodding his head. Kain looks ahead, scowling.

Kain: Be on your guard, we are not alone.

Ace and Ramza look ahead, where they see Machina (White Tiger l'Cie) standing before the Vermillion Bird fountain. Ace glares before bringing out his cards. He throws them towards Machina, who glances behind himself before jumping aside, turning to them to stand up.

Machina: Ace...

Kain and Ramza draw their weapons

Ramza: I take it he is an adversary of yours?

Ace: He is a l'Cie of the Empire, an enemy of ours.

Kain: You need not speak more. We will fight with you.

Machina looks down to the ground.

Machina: I don't want to do this... but you leave me no choice...

Machina draws his weapons, ready to fight.

Battle

The battle will consist of:

Machina (White Tiger l'Cie)

Terra Manikin (References Rem, Machina's childhood friend and fellow Cadet)

Bartz Manikin (References Izana, Machina's brother who loves Chocobos)

Music: Servant of the Crystal (Arrangement)

Post Battle Cutscene

Machina drops his rapiers, kneeling down as they fade away. Ace keeps a glare on Machina.

Ace: It's over. You cannot beat us here or at home.

Machina looks up at Ace before looking to the ground again.

Machina: I don't want this fight... I don't want to kill you...

Kain puts his lance behind him, while Ramza sends his sword away.

Ramza: Our enemy is defeated, we need not stay longer.

Ace looks to Ramza for a few seconds before looking back at Machina, putting his cards away.

Ace: You're right... Let's go.

Ace, Ramza and Kain walk past a defeated Machina, who gets up and looks to Ace as they leave through a portal. Machina takes off his helmet, he looked like he was crying.

Machina: I'm sorry... I was wrong...

Machina looks to the ground in defeat. End scene

End

Ok I'm done now. I've had way too much fun writing all this, so I hope you enjoy it! I left out Quotes because there's so many to write and I don't feel like it.
