Pyro
(BIG THANKS to FelixBlobDev for letting me use his animation.gml code for Pyro!)
(Voice and victory theme are Cinder from KI 2013)
The burning spectre Pyro has arrived in Rivals of Aether! Pyro is a powerful zoner who can keep his opponents at bay and even combo them with his dangerous projectiles!
SPECIALS:
———————————————-
Nspecial: Solar Sphere
——————————-
Solar sphere is an aimable projectile that fires in any 8 of the cardinal directions. This fiery ball travels through solid surfaces, and even ignites anyone it touches.
Fspecial: Fire Bomb
—————————-
Fire bomb is a 2-part attack. The first use of the attack has Pyro hurl a sticky fire bomb straight ahead, attaching to the first opponent hit. Once the bomb is attached, Pyro can remotely detonate it ant any time by pressing Fspecial again.
Dspecial: Extinguish
—————————–
Pyro reaches forward and snuffs out the flames of any and all opponents who are burned. This attack lands no matter where an opponent is, but it can only be used if at least 1 opponent is burned.
Uspecial: Meteor dive
——————————-
Pyro will enter a short stationary stance, after which, he will fly in the current direction of the joystick in any of the 8 cardinal directions. This attack can also be repeated a second time by tapping the same or a different direction quickly after the first.
UNIQUE RESOURCE: HEAT
—————————————–
Pyro has a unique resource known as "heat". Heat, unlike other traditional meters, only builds up while someone is currently burned. If Pyro uses extinguish, he will stop gaining heat until someone is burned again. When he is at max heat, he will laugh and his meter will begin to flash. At this point, Pyro’s next use of Nspecial or Fspecial will be replaced by 2 powerful super attacks:
Super move 1: Inferno
——————————-
A multi-hitting, screen-filling beam of fire that carries opponents across the stage while doing significant damage.
Super move 2: Cataclysm
———————————-
A "familiar" looking attack, Pyro lunges straight ahead with his fist. If he makes contact with someone, he will immediately stop before unleashing a devastating eruption of fire, sending his opponent reeling.
Pyro’s proportions and some attacks were made referencing Team NeRVe’s Fox mod. Check it out here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1941825892
