Nathan Graves from Castlevania Circle of the Moon has brought his crazy Yu Gi Oh cards into Smack Studio. He can use these to change his special attacks into different kinds of attacks depending on the situation. From simple projectiles and combo tools, to healing and an Electric Wind God Fist, he has an incredible variety of attacks for any situation.

NEUTRAL SPECIAL: KNIFE / MARS ACTION
Throw a small knife. Its small and weak, but it comes out fast.
If you have used a card, this attack will change depending on the card.
Salamander: Fire Sword. Throw the sword in an arc. Good for striking down approaches from above.
Serpent: Ice Sword. Very fast slash that can be jump cancelled on hit, allowing for an easy follow up and combo. It deals very low damage, though.
Cockatrice: Hammer. A slow attack that ignores shields. Requires careful usage and positioning, since it is at its most powerful when striking with the hammerhead.
Thunderbird: Martial Arts. Fast command grab that knocks the opponent behind.
Unicorn: Holy Sword. Very long sword that heals 1% on hit. If it hits on its very first active frame, heals 2% instead.
Black Dog: Gun. Pull out a gun that deals great damage, but early on has very low knockback. At higher percentages, however, is really strong. It has generous startup and endlag, though.

SIDE SPECIAL: CROSS / DIANA ACTION
Goes forwards, then back. It can hit multiple times, and is a great weapon for any situation.
If you have used a card, this attack will change depending on the card.
Salamander: Fireball. A fireball that gradually slows down. It stays on screen longer than most projectiles.
Serpent: Ice Burst. Attack that pushes the opponent away while dealing good damage.
Cockatrice: Spear. Hop forwards, then slash up. Great movement tool, and for setting up a Hammer swing, juggles, or combos.
Thunderbird: Electric Ball Hunter Fist. Dash forwards, then do an electric uppercut. Somewhat hard to land, but stuns the opponent.
Unicorn: Holy Arrow. Short ranged projectile that knocks the opponent inwards, allowing for a follow up.
Black Dog: Dark Void. A black hole that deals continuous damage to enemies within. It does not deal any knockback, though.

UP SPECIAL: ROC WING
Jump very high up. Cannot hurt the opponent and suffers from poor horizontal drift. but is great for vertical recoveries. and can be acted out of.

DOWN SPECIAL: DUAL SETUP SYSTEM
Choose from one of six cards to change your Neutral Special, Side Special, and Ultra! Each card is meant to support one specific playstyle or theme.
Up Input: Salamander. The aforementioned attacks will have a fire aspect and will be mainly focused around strong zoning.
Left Input: Serpent. Grant ice attacks, mainly focused on comboing.
Right Input: Cockatrice. Grant the stone element. This is a hybrid of the Golem and Cockatrice cards from Circle of the Moon, and the playstyle is focused on rushing in and doing big damage.
Down Input: Thunderbird. Grants electric attacks. Focuses on stuns and grappler playstyle.
Shield Input: Unicorn. Holy attacks. It has the utility of being able to heal the player.
Attack Input: Black Dog. Darkness attacks. Destroy shields, and control the stage.

ULTRA: GRAND CROSS / SUMMON
A shining cross that knocks opponents up, dealing 30 damage.
If you have used a card, this attack will change depending on the card.
Salamander: Shoot a large fireball forwards.
Serpent: A burst attack that, while weak, has high scaling and can kill with ease at higher percentages. However, it deals only 10 damage.
Cockatrice: A barrage of stones that stun the opponent.
Thunderbird: An electric barrier that knocks the opponent away. Good for edgeguarding and killing off the side.
Unicorn: Heal for 13%
Black Dog: A big, homing dark void that deals constant damage.
