Description
A Blood soaked vagabond from the flameless future arrives to wreak havoc in SSL. Bearing a striking resemblence to a certain Gold manipulating punk, Dogyoku possesses strong ranged options to keep opponents walled out. Be wary though, as all of his long ranged options deal self damage, making managing your vitality a must. Utilize your powerful ranged tools to overwhelm opponents until there'snothing left!

Gimmick: Blood Puddles / Forgers Dial
Using Certain attacks (Nattack, Dtilt, Uair), Dogyoku can place a puddle of blood on the ground at the cost of taking a bit of damage. This puddle will stay out on the field until he creates another or consumes it with certain attacks.

Hitting the puddle with the Nattack projectile will cause the puddle to release a projectile reminiscent to Classic Dony's Nspecial, controlling the space near the puddle with a long lasting projectile that can easily be converted off of.

Notable Attacks

Neutral Attack - Sun Dial
Dogyoku throws a sawblade made of his own blood across the ground. If done in the air, he throws the projectile at a diagonal downward angle. This acts as a solid, long lasting projectile that can be easily converted on hit. Useful for aggressive pressure or ranged harassment, though do keep in mind that if the projectiles are destroyed, they do not leave a puddle behind. Deals 5% self damage upon performing the attack.

Ftilt - Sword of Midas
Dogyoku creates a sword out of his blood before stabbing it into the ground. He then rips it out, summoning a collection of large swords in his wake. This attack serves as a massive poking tool with good damage and kill power, though the endlag is steep to compensate. If a puddle is active, the swords created for the second hit of Ftilt spawn at the puddle's location instead, making for an excellent ranged harassment tool. Deals 4% self damage upon performing the attack.

Utilt - Protection Fee
Dogyoku takes his pocketed arm out and thrusts it upwards in an attempt to grab the opponent. If he hits them, he drains their vitality while blasting them away in an explosive burst of blood. Utilt fulfills a similar function to classic Dony's Dstrong; a command grab that heals you on hit. Unlike Dony's though, Dogyoku's acts as a solid anti air and powerful kill option, making it quite dangerous to get hit by. Heals 10% on a successful connect.

Dtilt - Golden Surge
Dogyoku points forward while summoning a torrent of blood forward. This move acts as a mix between classic Dony's two Dtilts, both acting as a tool to quickly get up puddles, but also as a solid combo starter and extender. Deals 2% self damage upon performing the attack.

Uair- Citrine Retreat
Dogyoku spins in the air before hurling a crystalline shard of blood downwards. If this shard hits the ground or an opponent, it erupts into a bed of crystalline spikes. Not much to say here; it's a decent recovery tool that throws a projectile below you. Do note, the projectile thrown here will only create a blood puddle if it hits the ground, not if it hits an opponent. Deals 3% self damage upon performing the attack.

Dair - Grounding Claws
Dogyoku summons a massive set of golden claws before slamming it downward upon foes. This move is functionally a more massive version of Classic Dony's dair, covering a ton of downward space due to just how big the claws he summons are. It also gives a bit of vertical momentum, which is very useful towards his recovery.
