Iscream
A Dark Presence, Iscream, has joined the fray in Aether! A lightweight character with incredible movement, Iscream’s attacks come out lightning fast, but leave you open for longer than average. Use your unique Curse mechanic to boost your damage output even further– at the cost of making your already-high KO vulnerability even higher.
SPECIAL MOVES
Neutral Special: Infernal Grasp
Iscream transforms one of their hands into a tentacle-like appendage, grabbing whoever’s in front of them and stabbing with their knife for decent damage and knockback power.
Side Special: Knife Toss
Iscream tosses their knife in an arc. The projectile bounces when it hits the ground or a wall.
Up Special: Power Pentagram
Shielding themselves behind a pentagram symbol, Iscream teleports if the move is used in the air. After the teleport, there’s a hitbox that lingers for a bit before the move sends you into special fall. If the move is used on the ground, it’s a faster burst option with a lot less KO power instead.
Down Special: Curse
If it hits, this move places a Curse on both you and your opponent for 5 seconds, making your opponent take 1.5x damage from all of your attacks, but you also take 1/6 of that damage in recoil from said attacks. (e.g., Original Damage = 10, Total Damage w/ Curse = 15 and Recoil = about 2.) The Curse cannot be extended while it is still active, and you cannot inflict the Curse on more than one opponent at a time unless it hits multiple opponents simultaneously.
