The psychic feline from Pokémon teleports into Smack Studio! Espeon is a fast, light-weight character with access to close-ranged attacks and long-ranged charge moves.

MOVESET:
JAB - SCRATCH & BITE
SIDE TILT - PSYCHIC FANGS
UP TILT - HEADBUTT
DOWN TILT - COVET

SIDE STRONG - BODY SLAM
UP STRONG - SAND ATTACK
DOWN STRONG - THUNDER WAVE
GRAB AND THROW - PSYCHIC

NEUTRAL SPECIAL: SHADOW BALL
Espeon begins charging a shadowy blob to be hurled at the opponent. The damage, size, and knockback increases with charge time. The charge is stored and can be paused with tech, movement, or damage. It is nearly identical to Cora's neutral special as well!

SIDE SPECIAL: MAGICAL LEAF
Espeon summons three homing leaves that chase enemies.

UP SPECIAL: ZEN HEADBUTT
Espeon begins charging willpower to its head until it leaps into the air, tackling opponents during its jump. The distance traveled, damage, and knockback increases with the charge time.

DOWN SPECIAL: REFLECT
Espeon creates a wall of light that reflects any projectiles it comes into contact with.

NEUTRAL ULTRA: GRAVITY
Espeon channels a psychic field in a circle around her. Any enemies who make contact with the circle are grabbed and lifted into the air with telekinesis, then launched straight down. This attack always launches enemies in front of Espeon.

NOTES:
- Espeon's side tilt (Psychic Fangs) ignores shields!

KNOWN BUGS:
- There is a slight visual glitch on the stage, Neon Lights, where Shadow Ball (Neutral B)'s visual may be obscured by the lights on the stage. This may be related to an interaction in the z-axis.

FUTURE UPDATES:
- Will be tuned in the future for balancing
- Shield size is too big - will be adjusted once the shield resizing update comes out!
