Description
Someday Namco should gain another franchise of their's represented in Smash Bros. alongside Pac-Man much like how Capcom and Konami already have done. For which fighter that should be, I say Lloyd Irving, whose been one of the highly requested fighters. He certainly would make a good Smash Bros. fighter in a future installment, and this is what I think his moveset will be like:

For a stage entrance in VS Mode, Lloyd could use his trademark from Tales of Symphonia with a blue Rheaird onto the stage creating a dense cloud of smoke, which then then clears revealing Lloyd, who draws both swords and then moves into his battle stance.

Special Attacks
*Standard: Demon Fang
Lloyd launches a projectile at an opponent with his sword. Works similar to Cloud's standard special.
*Side: Sonic Thrust
Lloyd launches himself forward with his sword at an opponent.
*Up: Tiger Blade
Lloyd launches himself with his sword upwards, then slashes downwards while landing. Works similar to Ike's up special.
*Down: Rising Phoenix
Lloyd builds up energy before launching the attack onto an opponent. The more it's been charged the more powerful the attack will be, the less it's been charged it may actually end up being simply a Rising Falcon.

For a Final Smash, it would make sense that Lloyd uses Falcon's Crest. With it Lloyd launches himself up into the air fusing both of his swords into one large blade, then he'd home in on the nearest opponent as part of the attack's finishing touch.

For basic attacks, aerial attacks, dash attack and grab attacks, he'd probably use basic sword attacks along with Beast based Attacks as his Smash Attacks. I don't know if Lloyd has been known to throw objects in his own games, but if he has it would make an excellent forward throw.

For idle animations, I guess they can be based off the idle poses he has in his own games.

For taunts (I have no specific way of the input to say for sure):
*One where Lloyd makes an X Pose with both his swords.
*One where Lloyd thrusts out his left sword to the camera saying "This'll be a piece of cake."
*One where Lloyd points one of his swords into the air.

For Palette Swaps, likely they'll be based off different outfits he's worn in his own games along with those based off other characters in Tales of Symphonia, and maybe other games in the franchise as well.

When Kirby copies, Lloyd, he could either end up with Lloyd's hair or those white pieces on his outfit.

For victory poses, Lloyd could make poses saying stuff like "Well, that was easy", "Dwarven Vow Number 43: Never forget the basics", and "alright".

For a victory theme, I guess it might as well be the first portion of this tune from when winning a battle in Tales of Symphonia: youtu.be/xRVD6-Qpe54
