Description:
『The Mountain’s Telegnosis』
Momiji Inubashiri

Vanguard is a fairly standard rushdown character, with solid close-mid range attacks and a fairly strong mixup game. (I know, *real* unique, but that’s what I got for a basic archetype summary)

What aims to set her apart a bit, however, are her (admittedly simple) mechanics: Charged attacks and Graze.

By spending meter, she is able to enhance some of her specials, making them stronger and sometimes giving them new properties, in exchange for higher startup.
Graze, on the other hand, is a movement option which costs meter and allows you to, well, graze through projectiles.

–Additional notes and stuff–

Part of the Hustletensoku collab, hosted by shay

Comes with background music! (Toggleable with Mod Options, and automatically yields to other characters’ music)

Moveset isn’t *quite* complete yet, there’s still a couple specials to be made along with.. well, all the supers. What’s there should be plenty enough to tear your opponents to shreds, though.
(More stuff should be coming rather soon, I just wanted ta get a release out before september, since it was right around this time 3 years ago that I first got into touhou)

Also hopefully coming soon: style-colorable particles

Kinda generic thing to mention but feedback is very much so appreciated, be it here or in one of her threads in a Discord server (like yodding or bracketeering)
