Description
Sarolyn freezes the competition!

Sarolyn Cycroma is a swordie character that's specialized in slicing opponents with her icy sword, Monolice, as well as grabbing her foes with the darkness that she was born with. Strike fear into the hearts of your opponents and seize your opportunity to win!



Neutral Special - Shade Slash

Sarolyn summons a shadowy clone of herself. It only goes forward and serves more so as a projectile. The clone will only slash when Neutral Special is pressed again, allowing for fakeout setups. The clone can absorb projectiles in which that also increases Sarolyn’s Frozen Frenzy by one level. (What's Frozen Frenzy used for? See DSpecial.)

Forward Special - Midnight Grasp

A forward reaching grab. If the grab connects, Sarolyn can choose between four different directions to throw her opponent to. (Forward, Back, Up, or Down) If Sarolyn successfully grabs someone, her Frozen Frenzy will increase by one level.

Do note that the grab is only once per airtime unless you successfully grab an opponent. And yes, you can chain grab if you read your opponent's defensive options. :)

Down Special - Umbral Spiral

Sarolyn unleashes a swirling vortex via judgment cut. Each use of Down Special will consume all levels of Frozen Frenzy. Depending on the number of levels consumed will determine the power of the move.

~ No Levels - No vortex is spawned, though the judgment cut part of the move is intact.

~ Level 1 (C1) - A small vortex is spawned. It can absorb projectiles, has a slight gravitational pull, and lingers on the stage for ten seconds. It can also knock up anyone in hitstun, allowing for cool combo extensions. If it absorbs a projectile, it’ll evolve into a Category 2 and refresh the vortex timer.

~ Level 2 (C2) - A medium sized vortex is spawned. Similar to a Category 1, except the range it pulls in is bigger.

~ Level 3 (C3) - A large sized vortex is spawned. Similar to the previous levels, but it is bigger and has a bit of a greater pull than the other levels.

Note that Sarolyn can lose Frozen Frenzy levels if she is either hit, parried, or dies offstage! Be wise and play smart!

Up Special - Moonraker

A sword slash that circles around Sarolyn before slashing upwards at a somewhat decent vertical height. Afterwards, Sarolyn will go into pratfall.

Tips!

~ Up Air is another grab move that gives Sarolyn a level of Frozen Frenzy.
~ Speaking of Up Air, you can also fastfall and hitfall with it!
~ Most of your strong attacks are pretty slow, but have amazing strengths in return!
~ You can angle where your Down Special cut comes out with the left stick! Holding in makes it closer to you while holding out makes it further away.

Compatibility List

~ Kirby (Spamite)
~ Mt. Dedede Stadium
~ Boxing Ring
~ Hollow Knight (Reiga)


~and more to come!

I like the Kim possible reference you did with one of her skins in the game. Heck I was impressed with this character, i actually used her for a YouTube video I created. I wanted to test out the Green screen stage in this game. And it works, I made her do this cool slash downward in the air. ( she was knocking down Spyro the dragon out of that sky, if you’re wondering why she did that, well it’s a long story. I don’t wanna have this comment go on for too long) anyways. I wanna say you made a good character that not only fun to play. But also an interesting character. I hope that rpg game You’er working on is going well. Have a good day. Looking forward to rpg game you are working on.

@MementoMorgan, thanks for liking my characters! :D

yeah after i'm done with making stuff for rivals I wanna move on and make a couple of games featuring my characters, one of which is a turn based rpg that's been on my mind forever haha

if you or anyone else who wants to learn more about my stuff, feel free to hit me up on Discord (Kocakup) or catch me lurking around the RoA Extended Workshop server. I'm always down to share lore and what not!

I'm absolutely loving Kiku (I love brawler-style characters, I'm a transfem, and I love apples so like ofc) and Pastelle, so I'm excited to give her a try!
And I'm VERY interested to see more about this turn-based RPG she's made for?

thanks! hoping to continue to cook some more ^^

@Kocakup Thank you, I did not know she was that strong! Althought the CPU did kinda showed what she was capable of. But honestly I think people complain a little to much. Having a ridiculous CPU and a epic voice just gives Sarolyn more personality imo. Good job

@Angel Dust, thank you for the kind words! Unfortunately, I have no plans to buff side special as it gives Sarolyn a ton of utility if she lands it. A bunch of folks actually see her as pretty OP currently
