How about a ball and chain? Kind of like the one in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The regular attacks would like the hammer's, or two downward strikes and then an upswing. You could also use an upswing to start into a swing combo like the Switch Axe's "Hack n' Slash," only that would be called the "Swing n' Bash." As for a charge up move, you would start to swing the ball over your head until it reached top speed. From there you could choose one of two options as to how you can attack. The first being that you could stand still and do a super slam by swinging the ball right into the ground. The second option would be to keep moving to do a spinning strike in which you would continually hit your target until you stopped, or launch the ball into your target and allow you to strike it from a distance. This would cause the ball to be stuck into the ground. You'd be able to dodge with a side step or roll if you needed to avoid attacks, and then yank it back to you, causing further damage to your target.
