Description:
The Relentless Hunter

In nature, lions, hawks, sharks, and nearly every other apex predator only average a successful hunt ratio of 25-30% There is only one animal that surpasses this trend with 95-100% success rate- if you want a job done, you call in a Dragonfly.

Fill them with lead

Rosso is a skilled bounty hunter firefly armed to the teeth with all kinds of tools for ranged combat

Firefly Drone

The drone is the main stage control tool at Rosso’s disposal, it works as a passive reflector that will send back any projectile it comes in contact with, at the same time it also has a scanner at the bottom that will mark opponents that pass through it. However that is not all since it can also be detonated like a C4 using down special, use this knowledge to punish opponents carelessly approaching the drone

Shot Rifle

Rosso’s rifle is capable of retracting its barrel to switch between a shotgun and a sniper rifle, the sniper shots are capable of going very far and can bounce off the drone allowing any fire angle, however if an opponent is marked the drone itself will automatically redirect the shot towards them. The sniper can be angled 360 degrees and its damage will scale higher by how long you keep aiming, you can also hit headshots with it, they give a small damage bonus and are indicated by a *ding* sound

Seeker Missiles

Rosso’s missiles, which are fired using neutral special, are able to track down any marked opponent or also be angled manually by holidng up or down during startup, each missile is angled independently therefore allowing for more coverage

Rocket Boost

Rosso’s back booster allows him to travel a fair distance upwards, the trajectory at which you move can be tilted and holding special when reaching the peak of the boost will make you transition into the aiming stance, also performing this move from the ground will not put you into pratfall unless you go into the aiming stance

Extra Information

Fstrong Canceling
Fstrong is a double input move, however hitting just fstrong 1 will allow you to cancel its endlag into anything

Aerial Flutter
Holding down the attack button while performing moves like Fair and Nair will prevent you from falling and will allow the move to connect fully, however this doesn’t work on whiff


Background

Rosso is a Dragonfly that works as a bounty hunter, the kind of hunter who if you heard you were on their list you would treat it like a death sentence. Like many snipers he is a professional with standards and their demeanor is no-nonsense, cold, and calculated.
After Loxodont’s rise to power he was frequently hired to take care of dissidents and as such developed a strong sense of duty and loyalty towards him. One day he was hired to dispose of Clairen and after tracking down her last movements managed to make his way to the past, all that was left now was to collect the bounty…
