Darmanna

Description
Join My Space Pizza !!!!!

The nearsighted sharpshooter Darmanna Al’darynn from the comic Space Pizza* claws her way out of development hell and finally claims her spot on the Rivals of Aether Workshop roster! This mod somehow took five years to develop! Insane!



Breakdown
Darmanna (Darm for short) is simple. She doesn’t complicate her plans; strategies and gimmicks are below her. Her game plan is to get in, kick ass, and get out - and her moveset has more than enough options to give her the opening she needs. She’s definitely not above showing off, however; her basic gameplay belies a sizable pool of flashy movement options to season her otherwise predictable strategy. While more than capable of putting up a fight, she needs to stay alert, as her poor defense and lack of stage control can make a single mistake deadly.

Backstory
The crass delivery driver for Cable City’s local pizzeria chain, Darmanna is a woman with simple goals - to get paid and live life free. Chained to her job with very little income to spare, however, she has found herself abundantly lacking both of those two virtues in her life, and naturally, she took the most straightforward approach to solve that - crime. Now she and her gang moonlight as freelance mercenaries, doing dirty work for any powerful figure willing to cough up.

Up / Forward Strong
Cheapshots

She doesn't fight fair.

Dash Attack
Party Starter

Darm’s powerful shoulder charge has a special property. If you hit someone with the powerful starting hitbox, you can cancel this move with a jump. This lets you follow it up with a quick aerial - or, if you’re feeling particularly evil, a wavedash.

Neutral Special
The Uzi

Darm has a gun. Her only projectile option. It’s basic, but hey, a bullet’s a bullet. Worst case scenario, you can also barrelstuff people and blast them away with the muzzle flash, if ya nasty.

Forward Special
Bullet Dodge

An incredibly quick dash forwards, sending whoever it goes through straight upwards. Useful for quick approaches, or to surprise opponents not prepared to deal with it. Landing a hit with this also refreshes your double jump, allowing her annoying air combos to continue if you’re accurate enough.

Down Special
Flashkick

A quick backflip. Useful for punishing poor approaches or getting out of disadvantage, kicking enemies away while putting yourself high in the air. You can airdodge out of the endlag, and if you hold special (or just use Down Special in the air) it will become a diagonal kick that sends her downwards, bouncing off of whoever it hits for a quick followup.

Up Special
Lead Ballet

A reckless attack where Darm does an acrobatic pirouette, dumping a magazine straight down. While this attack uses her gun, it doesn’t fire projectiles - although it will drag whoever it hits with you. You can influence your jump angle slightly with the arrow keys before you jump as well. Be careful recovering, as since this attack hits downwards instead of upwards, she is very susceptible to getting spiked.
