So... Remember when I made a thread about a v3 update to Metal Anyone? yeeeeeaaah... I've kinda lost interest for that.
I decided I should use the permission I asked for more than a year ago to at least release an upgraded Metal Anyone port. Y'know, to do the mod some justice.
Is Metal Anyone v3 coming back? I'm not sure. For now, consider it canceled.

Metal Anyone
What is a Metal Anyone you may be wondering?
Metal Anyone is an alternate version of Metal Sonic. Yes, I know there's a ton of these already (in fact I released one a couple of days ago). But this one comes all the way back from 2.1!
His main gimmick is his ability copying mechanism. He can copy other characters' abilities! However, you can't freely control it.
Metal Anyone will pick a random ability each time you enter a new level or die. It changes every time!
Now, let's see all of these abilities, shall we?
It's just the good ol' thok, is there much to say? Double jump to zoom forward with a huge burst of speed!
Double jump to start flying for a limited time. Keep tapping the jump button to ascend. When time runs out, he'll get tired and slowly sink back down.
Double jump to glide in the air towards where the camera is facing as long as jump is held. Glide into a wall to climb it.
Press jump while climbing to jump off and point the camera away from the wall. Press spin instead to jump without changing the camera.

This isn't an actual jump ability, it's more of a pasive ability. Metal Anyone will jump higher the faster you go.
Do I even need to explain this? You just get an extra jump. That's it.
You most probably know this ability already. It allows you to lock on to any nearby enemies and dash into them. If no enemies are nearby you will perform an Air Dash, a weaker thok without the spinning.
Legacy version of the hover, ported over to match the original version! This acts pretty similarly to the current one Metal Sonic uses, but never makes you fall.
This is the opposite to the float ability, a nerfed version of the hover. It will not maintain your height as well but still serves its purpose.
This is where we start getting to the weird unknown base game abilities. Telekinesis will allow you to push enemies away by pressing the Jump key, or towards you with the Spin key.
This ability will invert your vertical speed. I know I know, sounds complicated, but to sum it up it's pretty much just a falling speed dependant double jump. Or a Crawla Bounce on command if you will. Use it right on the water's surface for maximum effect!
Press Jump twice to initiate it, it will lock your speed and direction but thrust you upwards. Press spin to then quickly drop!
First of the new abilities integrated from 2.2! You can "swing the hammer" (or spin in this case) by pressing Spin on the ground or Jump mid-air! This mode's spin attack may have limited usage, but it can break spikes and bustable floors, as well as power springs!
While standing still, point the camera at an enemy or monitor to make a cursor appear over it. Press spin to fire a cork at that target.
Double jump to bounce off the ground and some hazards as long as jump is held. Bouncing can also destroy some floors.

And of course, Metal Sonic's abilities.
Double jump to hover as long as jump is held, but he'll lose height if he slows down too much.
Keep moving at high speeds to increase his stats, letting him charge through spikes and sprint over water.
