New Ability - Burrowing

[KieranH10]

Aight, so a while ago I had the realization that we lack an ability for characters who can burrow or dig beneath the ground.
Iirc there's characters who have been given Earth Manipulation for some reason simply for digging quickly (Granted, I cant remember any profiles off the top of my head), but this seems very wrong to me.
While theoretically, a character with Earth Manipulation would be capable of feats like this, not all characters that dig do so through Earth Manipulation, and often do it through other means.

Characters that can burrow beneath the ground should have it listed as an ability, not anyone can do it, it is an ability much like Flight or Acrobatics.

It should also obviously be noted that not anyone with a shovel would be granted this power, only those who have shown a supernatural ability to burrow beneath the ground such as those listed in the Notable Users on the Blog.

I also presented this idea in this thread already and the general consensus seems to be that it should be an ability. I have also Created a full Blog for this ability and it's page layout, obviously anything to be added or removed should be discussed here.

That's about it, the Blog covers the Power and there's not a huge amount more to mention...

I agree, this ability is pretty much useable by pretty much characters in the wiki.
I also feel this or this can be used as visual example for ability.

 

[KieranH10]

I don't think we can import videos as demonstration on profiles, unless we made it a Gif.
If the current Gif doesn't seem great, I also have some alternatives, such as this one from Ben 10, and another from Pokemon.

 

[Oleggator]

Also good, I may can convert videos as gif but those 2 examples above were one of my suggestions, so it can get well critique.

 

[Dalesean027]

You know I would have thought this is something that would have already been made but I never considered it much I guess and it all looks good too so I agree. Lol diglett was the first to come to mind reading this

 

[Hellbeast]

I’m down

Gorosaurus, Zilla and Baragon all get this

 

[OneBleachHurricane]

Would this apply to Zerg and some Terran units from Starcraft?

If they have feats of such I assume so. I'm not too knowledgeable on Starcraft however so I'm unsure.

 

[Oleggator]

They have and kinda a lot.
Basically Zergs itself are creatures that usually comes from ground and their "buildings" are litteraly some creatures with roots to ground.
But if put that Zerg stuff down I'll just show example:

 

[OneBleachHurricane]

Should I list all Ground Zerg VSWB Profiles which should have the ability or only those that actually have the ability to fight?

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Chopper from One Piece also has Burrowing I believe.

 

[KieranH10]

They have and kinda a lot.

From that video yes, I believe the one's shown coming from below would definitely have the ability if it becomes a Power.

 

[Oleggator]

Also my little not much useful but a bit criticism on profile, I think there's no need to mention
"Diglett and Dugtrio" and
"All Pokemon who can learn the move Dig" at same time.

Maybe change someone to knuckles who people pretty much acknowledging with that ability (To point out in good part of Sonic games knuckles digging is knowledgeable mechanic, so he can be good example).

 

[OneBleachHurricane]

Here are pages relevant to the Zerg:
Burrow (Liquipedia)
Burrow (StarCraft Wiki)

Here's a montage of it In-Game:


Also this:

 

[Armorchompy]

I agree with this.

 

[KieranH10]

That seems fair. I will change the Pokemon who learn Dig to Knuckles.

Here are pages relevant to the Zerg:

From that video I suppose that they should be fine yes.

 

[Starter_Pack]

First off, yes, I totally agree with this becoming an ability.

Second, on the topic of the image, can we possibly make a gif of this section of this video? I feel it does an excellent job showing a character burrowing in a nutshell, but I cannot find a proper gif of it for the life of me.

I guess I'm not the only one who usually associate sonic characters with drilling.

I'll try to find gif.

 

[Starter_Pack]

This one is close, but I think a gif featuring more of this particular scene would be better.

 

[KieranH10]

I can try and get a Gif extending that clip.

 

[KingTempest]

I'm all for this

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

For Chopper..


Also what about guys who can "swim" in ground?? Who don't have conventional intangibility.....kinda just exclusively swim in ground??

Like this...

I remeber there was a Dressrossa character in One Piece who dressed as Baby and fought Franky had that ability.
Couldn't remember the name.

 

[Armorchompy]

I think the latter would be Limited Intangibility

 

[XSOULOFCINDERX]

I agree with the OP.

 

[SamanPatou]

I agree with the power being a thing and the page looks good.

We should debate who gets it only once the page if officialized, though.

I think the best gif to show the power is the Furret one.

 

[KingTempest]

Senor Pink, and he has limited Matter Manip for it

 

[Shmooply]

This seems fine.

 

[Cul0r]

I agree, I don't think it makes sense to just be earth manipulation, mole-like animals and others will be getting this for sure.

 

[Starter_Pack]

I agree, I don't think it makes sense to just be earth manipulation, mole-like animals and others will be getting this for sure.

Case in point, Mole Knight.

 

[Armorchompy]

Jotaro Kujo should also have the ability he does it against the car dude

 

[Shmooply]

Case in point, Mole Knight.

I was gonna suggest him, dangit.
i feel like we should make a seperate thread considering that happened with all the other new or changed abilities but then again this still hasnt been accepted

 

[Starter_Pack]

Pretty sure the only thing left to decide is what image to use. Which, again, I'd like that Sonic scene used for the example.

 

[Theuser789]

This one is close, but I think a gif featuring more of this particular scene would be better.

I made a better gif for this
Here

 

[ElixirBlue]

This one is close, but I think a gif featuring more of this particular scene would be better.

Here’s an improved version of the gif:

 

[Starter_Pack]

Yup. Either one works.

Battle to the death for the right to feature your gif.

 

[ElixirBlue]

@KieranH10

Since this is the only P&A this profile can get on as an example, can you add https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Graboid to the USER section?

 

[DaReaperMan]

Miner (Clash of Clans) would also get this

 

[SamanPatou]

I think we should get more approval from staff, befote making this an actual page, for how uncontroversial it is.

@Antvasima @DarkDragonMedeus @AKM sama @Damage3245 @Mr._Bambu

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

I'm okay with this addition.

 

[Damage3245]

This looks fine to me.

Zetsu from Naruto can be added as an example user.
