This character is fucking ass

please give unique block and dash animations

Dawg. It has a insta get up AND can get up mid air without burst
fix that if you dont mind

average phoenix match -> https://youtu.be/dRlA4Z9LOyo?feature=shared

cool character, very bad

Honestly the best buff would just be 3 air options. The whole gimmick is doing long air combos but it’s very difficult to fill the meter at all without using pride. I think the reach for the sky meter should fill up a bit faster and the character should have 3 air options.

No updates since February that really sucks because it has the foundation of a good balanced character. Needs a few more options and a damage buff then it'll be fire.

You wouldn't imagine the joy I get from combo'ing someone for 20 minutes for him to do the same damage with one move

This guy is soo cool please finish it

someone forgot to give this man frame advantage

From my testing:
Advantage: If you start a long aerial combo, and are good at predicting your opponent's burst, Phoenix can combo his opponent basically forever.
Disadvantage: IF.

Awful

Comically low damage attacks, and a pride meter mechanic that requires sacrificing entire levels worth super meter at a time to even put your damage at AVERAGE levels. Not very well balanced tbh. I should not be at frame disadvantage for hitting my opponent with a basic attack.

fun character, cool animations, but he is butt

hes butt

@Midnight thank you! That makes so much more sense.

dexter, yes ashtray can be combed into itself! however, a smart player can DI out extremely easily, which is what the weakness of the character is supposed to be.

ASH TRAY CAN BE COMBO'D INTO ASH TRAY INFINITELY AND ONLY BURST CAN GET OUT. ITS NOT OP SINCE ASH TRAY DOES LIKE 2 DAMAGE BUT ITS HILARIOUS

In reply to Zinrius, read this part of the description:

reach for the sun meter and greatly increase power of attacks.
channel your humility to gain super at the cost of reach for the sun.
fan your pride to increase reach for the sun at a cost to super.
stay your ambitions to stay afloat longer.

So far phoenix has won me games, albeit it does feel lack luster. What I don't understand is the Pride, Humility, etc. stuff.

Is this part not finished?

Very cool concept

If Flame Driver touches the ground in singleplayer while P2 controls are disabled, P1's turn never ends, so you're forced to stare at your fighters staring at eachother until timeout.

havent even subscribed to the character yet but author said schizo and made me laugh. Take my points

damn this character doesnt deal any damage

knee range isnt that good to start off a combo but the rest seems fine only segestion is give pride some sprites so that it looks like it does something, i dont use it just because it doesnt look like a move,
quite fun in singleplayer to make some combos

so my issues just the combo starters have very small range , feathers are fine as its hard to dodge so jumping around it is hard block and roll seems like only option around it

pride not looking like an actual move

thats all i got so all in all quite good

did i make it for you schizo?

I'm gonna keep it real with you g, this character sucks and doesn't feel good to play

sorry quag, i did end up having to nerf that ability.

Plus I don’t even need to use pride or humility or ambition for meter or Reach For The Sun just using it as a one frame situation forcing tool’s been more than enough!

I Love it already, it’s like an ol’ reliable. Ok enough in EVERYTHING, has tools that let you usually force a person to whiff cancel or get punished, AND it has amaizing mobility tools! Definitely a 10/10 for me. Can’t wait to see more.

as i said, still wip

reach for the sun is supposed to increase damage greatly, full reach for the sun does 4x damage on some moves, i havent added that capability with all moves and i might have to

please make it deal more damage

noted, ill fix it

humility grants more meter than pride takes. it allows you to get free meter by infinitely using pride then humility then pride then humility. this also punishes the opponent for pressing anything

By using pride you gain reach, by using humility you gain super which you can then use to use pride again then continue to infinitely instant cancel allowing you to punish your opponent for doing anything other than free canceling or holding still

pride takes super, humility takes reach for the sun, and ambition takes both. so you can use those moves to frame by frame and i do kinda like to keep it that way, because it isn't free.

Pride and ambition can be spammed allowing people to go frame by frame on moves like instant cancels but infinite

yeah, still wip.
any missing animations are on the todo list, along with more moves in general

the wings disappear a lot during certain moves like movement and dodge

he's super fun but lacks core moves, although the specials are really fun to combo with, only having 2 attacks can be frustrating when starting a combo

Very fun charecter but he definetly needs more attacks, some more ranged options and preferably an actual super but i see alot of potential and he really feels like a unique play style
