Souly: I'm in the process of brainstorming, I don't want him to use a sword, since this is already kinda zelda-esque in my mind. That would just be too close a connection. I was thinking something more of like a melee with a dagger kind of fighter. Possibly 2 knives or something cool like that. But I wanted to try and experiment with like combo attacking in game maker, so that like, if you're running you'd roll into the character, and then like, 2 slash types and maybe a kick or punch. I dunno, I think I'm going with dagger as of right now, it seems to fit the style of the character. He looks like someone who'd walk around with a little wood sword.
EDIT: Some attaking animations:
