easiest way is to copy from another character (i suggest bandit)
next you will need to change the sprites. After it you will only need to add some special moves to the character.

That way you don't have to make all frames from standing, walking, running, all the rest, it will be a very hard work.
You can still modify them in case you want a quick or a slow run attack etc.

It is very hard to teach data changing. Best way to learn it is by trying, and understanding what each keyword means. I was also learning by trying all things out myself.

But the basics are that keywords (such as itr, body) declares something (itr declares damage / effect to opponent, body declares the character's position).
Parameters (such as x, y, dvx, dvy, injury, oid, etc (so many) ) are numeric variables that determine the move's attributes (such as damage position and damage amount, character movement, object with which id to spawn, etc)

keywords are written in tags ( '<' and '>') e.g. "<itr>"
parameters are followed by 2 dots (i mean this: ' : '). e.g. "dvx: 3 dvy: 0"

But from where will I get the Bandit's data? I can't find it in my lf2 data folder. Sad

If you have the data then please post it here. It will prove valuable to help me make my character. Very Happy
