Sandbag May Cry

A modified Sandbert featuring multiple Devil May Cry mechanics! (Please note! Some of the code used to create this character was partially based off of code originally written by Giik for the original Workshop version of Mollo, and was adapted with their permission.)

Mechanics are as follows:
* Neutral Special has been modified to function more like Ebony & Ivory from Devil May Cry. You can move forward and backward while firing.
* Taunt while holding a direction to switch between one of four different styles.
* Up = TRICKSTER, which lets you perform a forwards dash after exhausting your double jump by pressing the jump button again.
* Left = GUNSLINGER, which replaces jab and Neutral Special with attacks based off of DMC5's Ebony Shot and Ivory Shot. One fires a quick volley of weaker shots, the other fires a single shot with knockback.
* Down = ROYALGUARD, which lets you gain Royal Charges by parrying, then spend them to cancel air dodges and parries into Shine-like attacks. (For testing purposes, Sandbert starts fights with 99 Royal Charges.)
* Right = SWORDMASTER, which currently does nothing.
* Sandbert has a meter that fills up as he dishes out and receives damage. When it's full, using his Down Special will activate Devil Trigger, which lets him cancel attacks into each other a la Turbo Mode. Getting KO'd halves your DT Meter.
* As Sandbert fights stylishly and flawlessly, his Style Rating goes up from D to SSS. The higher it gets, the faster his DT Meter fills up. Getting KO'd immediately reduces your Style Rating to D.



I wanna upgrade this to a full DMC5 Dante moveset eventually, but don't have enough spriting know-how to really do that rn. Also it's been an aeon since I last worked on this and don't really remember what I'm doing.
If you wanna continue the project, feel free to steal the baseline and refine it to your heart's content. Just credit me (and of course Giik) when you're done, eh?
