Slayer

"First off, let me explain what dandy-ism is..."

Slayer is entering the mayhem of Rivals of Aether! Slayer is a fleet-footed powerhouse on the ground, but a sub-par fighter in the air. To make him shine, make the most of his powerful ground game.

IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED GUILTY GEAR OR ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH ITS MECHANICS, PLEASE READ THIS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nspecial: Dandy Step
------------------------------
Slayers iconic special move from guilty gear. This move is unique in that the attack is a simple backstep into a lunge without an input. But if you press attack or special after the backstep, you'll get one of two follow-ups:

Pilebunker: A powerful dashing punch that is great for closing out combos and scoring KOs.

Cross-wise heel: a two-part kicking attack that consists of a lunging kick, followed by an upwards somersault kick.

Fspecial: Mappa Hunch
--------------------------------
A simple lunging punch. not quite as strong as pilebunker, but the faster frame data and usability in the air give it its uses.

Uspecial: Dark flight
---------------------------
I was a little unsure of how to handle slayer's recovery, so I made up a move for him. This move sends slayer flying at an upwards angle. be careful though, it has no hitbox to protect you from attackers.

Dspecial: Bloodsucking universe
--------------------------------------------
What's a vampire without a bite? Slayer's other iconic move from the guilty gear series is his trademark bite. Though the move does little damage, it heals slayer for 10%, and can be used off of his jab as a combo extender/ender.

Unique mechanic: TENSION
---------------------------------------
The trademark staple of the guilty gear series is an integral part of slayer's kit, allowing him to do the things guilty gear is known for.

Super attack: Dead on time
--------------------------------------
When Slayer has 50% or more tension, he can perform his super attack. this attack has a rather long windup, but the payoff is well worth it; dealing very high damage and knockback, on top of being invincible once the attack begins.

Roman cancels
-----------------------------
When Slayer has 50% or more tension, he can press the parry button at any point of an attack to perform a roman cancel; leaving his opponent locked in place for slayer to do anything he wants. This allows to create combos that would normally be impossible, like Ftilt into Dsmash, or Fspecial into Nspecial. Mix and match to create the most dandy combos you can!
