Description
This character has a newer Definitive Edition that has a lot of changes I am leaving this version up as a legacy version. They can be found here: https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2921407044

Short Background / Summary
Klockwurth is a support specialist in the resistance from Clarien's timeline. The resistance was just a nuisance to Loxodont... until Klock defected. Now, it's personal.



Gameplay
Klockwurth is a slow, heavy, medium range brawler that uses a versatile shotgun to excel at medium range. The shotgun allows him to aim shots and functions as a melee weapon that gives his normals sword range. Keep the shotgun loaded with a combat roll reload. Use your shotgun to shoot your Suitcase Bomb to assist you in controlling the stage. Use your tools to keep your opponent at Klock’s preferred engagement range.



Specials
Tap Neutral Special - Quickdraw

- Gameplay: Klock Quickdraws his shotgun, and fires it from the hip.
- Projectile attack with good disruption.

Hold Neutral Special - Aimed Shot

- Gameplay: Klock focuses his aim to aim the shotgun 360 degrees.
- Hold Neutral Special + Joypad input to aim. + release special to fire an aimed shot
- When aiming in the air, he will slow down to allow for fine aiming and perhaps even juke opponents.
- His shotgun comes with a kick ass laser sight, you can see where you're aiming.

Forward Special - Reloading Combat Roll

- Gameplay: Functions similarly to a normal roll, but has the added benefit of reloading your shotgun.
- Usable in the air.
- 2 second cooldown.
- Takes longer than a roll to start up.
- Has invincibility frames of a normal roll.

Taunt - Reload In Place

- Reloads the gun without movement.
- Shares a reload cooldown with Fspecial.

Down Special - Suitcase Bomb

- Gameplay: Klock throws a suitcase. The suitcase must prime for a short period (so it doesn't blow up instantly). Any hit box that hits this bomb will explode with a hitbox.
- Cooldown after throwing.
- Bomb can hurt Klock as well and will also block his shots.
- Klock should ideally use his shotgun and an aimed shot to set the bomb off from a safe distance.
- Move affects his momentum in air and lowers his gravity, use it to set up come unique approach routes.

Up special - Reverse Maneuver

- Gameplay: Klock ascends and does a back flip. He will then glide.
- This move does not set you into pratfall, use it to mix up engagement routes with Klock.
- You can do any action after the start of his glide.

I am planning to rework the character to update his moves / his game feel / his effects. A full resprite of everything is not currently planned though, that'd be too much work for an otherwise unpopular character.

Causes frequent frame drops, could use a resprite

@bearNstyyn This character is not very competitive. He was my first character and I didn't know a lot when doing him.I plan to revisit him in the future with moveset changes and a rework to bring him up to a higher level of quality. I am working on other characters at the moment so it may take a while before it happens.

I think this character needs some more kill power. His knockback multipliers may not be high enough on strongs and aerials

I actually just added everything I have into a collection, unsubscribed to all my items, and then subscribed to the collection and it worked. Just unsubscribing and subscribing to the item wouldn't work and it would show me just an X for Klockwurth on the custom character menu.
To those of you who did have my problem, sharing your collections with friends is the way to go.

What are you seeing when you try to play the character online?
