Sounds neat. I've got some ideas:
Flare: Stage-wide attack. It's the one we've seen so far.
Level 5 Death: Instantly kills any opponent whose percent is a multiple of 5.
Firaga: Most powerful fire spell.
Blizzaga: Most powerful ice spell.
Thundaga: Most powerful thunder spell
Lifebreak: Inflicts damage depending on BM's percent. At very high percents is an instakill spell.
Meteor: This one would work similar to PK starstorm.

I still want a Black Mage resprite similar to his appearance in Mario Hoops 3-On-3. If that happens, I'll be happy. Also, Black Mage can pull off a sick combo. If you do a F-Air twice, follow it up with a D-Air (sweet spot needed!), then, before it activates, finish the combo off with Haste, you'll get a sick finishing kill. Honestly works best on Sector Z, as if you do the two F-Airs, the opponent will land near the edge of the stage.

Hey did you guys know that if you do Black Mage's down taunt with a metal box on, it plays a metal version of part of his victory theme

Huh.

Although we of course have a changelog to look at, i prefer to look at the stuff myself so i can really see some of the bigger differences (Not going to mention animation tweaks though)

• NAir now drags the opponent and has a landing hitbox
• DAir now has 2 different hitboxes (or is it just 1? i actually forgot if an early hit was weaker in 1.1 or if the move was the same strength all the way through)
Both "sourspots" deal 8%, while the sweetspot (directly below Black Mage) deals 10%

Early hit seems to be a rather weak meteor smash
When the scythe is directly below BM, it'll deal 10% and deal stronger knockback (aswell as play an additional sound effect and summoning the reaper)
When it's going behind him, it'll meteor smash at a very nasty (in a good way) angle behind Black Mage


• Dash attack's hitbox now has a "late hit" hitbox

• Is it just me, or is the full charge Up-Smash stronger?
• Down Smash now sends at a semi-spike, though the freeze effect still doesn't last long at all. and the full charge version seems unchanged, as far as i can tell.

• Haste is now back to its 9b incarnation while still keeping the "obligatory sweetspot" command grab. On the upside, Black Mage can now slides forward/backward during the move, (possibly) granting him better spacing capabilities with the move.
• Meteor can now be angled by holding Forward/Down instead of Up/Down (a welcome change, it can be pretty awkward to press down then quickly Up for an uncharged meteor at a higher angle) And when grounded, the meteor stops in place right in front of Black Mage before being fired, instead of continuing to rise above his head and get interrupted by a platform as soon as it's launched
• You can no longer SDI from Stop! and it now has an additional effect: It paralyzes projectiles before reflecting them back

Thank god his air mobility got buffed. That was my main concern with the character.

His jumps actually got veeery slightly lower, according to the comparisons i made with my 1.1 pictures, but he's oddly floatier and i just can't quite put my finger on it, i think it's how long he just stays at the peak of his jumps

Sorry for double post but i think you all NEED to see this

So while i was testing for possible techs other characters can do with Rayman's plum, turns out Black Mage can perform an "ultra wavehaste" if it connects on top of the plum

the plum is broken and i absolutely love it

Indeed I dit this stuff like this on the last stock against a pretty well rayman main, and he said me that was fair but the lucky was still on him.

I'm really enjoying his buffed NAir's ability to drag opponents
this is a thing that you can do now lol

at least the devs actually implemented my "pls no sdi from stop" thing from over two years ago lmaoo

what amazes me is how black mage's dsmash has been useless since v0.7

Wait i just realised something

I'm still super unsatisfied with how landing dair functioned and wish it was safe on hit below like 70 LMAO

used to be this super cool combo starter but coupled with no hitstun on hit as well as i think being one of the laggiest moves to land with in the game you cant do much with it

all you would really need to do to fix it imo would be to buff the hitstun on grounded opponents!! then it would be a more high risk/high reward jump in for bm to mixup into alongside the rest of his aerials heck
