Monarch

Play as Monarch, the masked duelist! Aid him on his quest to seek out the strongest fighters of the realm!

[Tournament Players] Use Monarch Lite from here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555683408

Using Portals
Place a portal with neutral special, and then you or your opponents can traverse it! Careful though, it will get destroyed after 6 uses! Each of your other specials has an interaction with portals as well, try it out!

Back Air
Landing back air and holding attack will make you disappear, and pop back up just before the opponent’s hitpause ends for a spike! Use careful timing and positioning to move your opponent both sideways and down in one move!

Forward Air
Forward air is a 3-4 hit aerial combo. Tapping attack 3 times after the first hit will do 3 hits, but holding down attack after the second hit will shoot the gun for a smaller hit before the finisher. Switch up how many hits you use depending on the position of your opponent!

Up Air
Up air is an upwards thrown projectile, and when it lands, Monarch will automatically teleport below the opponent for a follow up strike! You can also throw it through portals!

Neutral Air
Neutral air has a small window of invincibility before it hits. Use this to dodge and attack at the same time!

Forward Tilt
Forward tilt teleports you forward and strikes in the opposite direction! Use this to get behind opponents or counter their moves!

Forward Strong
Forward strong teleports you back before a huge forward slash. Use this do dodge attacks backwards, or pivot to get behind opponents! The backwards teleport also carries you through portals, allowing you to strike unexpectedly!

Down Strong
Down strong teleports you upwards, before doing a downward slash. Use this to spike opponents at a ledge, or dodge over attacks!

DACUS
Quickly input up strong after a dash attack for a long ranged sliding up strong!

Aerial Cancelling Upspecial
During the endlag of up special, before pratfall, you can input an aerial instead!

Attacking Out of Dspecial
Using the 3 second time on down special, you can strike as soon as you teleport!

Dspecial Stun
If your opponent is in hitstun when the timer ends, they will get stunned as you teleport! Use this to follow up with an aerial!

Charged Specials
Using any special through a portal will put it in a "charged" state, stunning your opponent when the special is activated!

Dspecial Charging
Dspecial can be charged in a few extra ways when stuck to players. Hitting a charged uspecial, a regular fspecial, or having the opponent walk through a portal will charge the knife.

Note: Effects too much for your computer to handle? Press taunt before a match starts to enable lite mode, and most of the flashy effects will be disabled, letting your toaster run smoothly! (Lite mode will also automatically enable itself if your game drops below 45 FPS and stays that way for 15 frames)

Dtilt->Utilt->Fair
A basic combo that starts on the ground and leads into the air, with high damage potential

Landing Nair->UStrong
This works well to catch opponent’s off guard, especially if you dodge an attack during the approach.

Uair->Dair
A good simple follow up for some extra damage.

Jab1->Jab2->Ftilt
A simple way to send the opponent to the other side of the stage

Thanks for trying out this mod! It took about 8 months to complete, and I hope you like it! This was a sort of test to see how far I can push my animation skills after Tenru. The next character I make will probably have a simpler design, and might come out faster (if I start work soon). Making mods is pretty fun and gives me something to do, and it’s a cool community to be a part of.
