Celia
Hey all! Jerome here, teaching you all the ins and outs you need to know for Celia, the Chi-guided Shinobi!
NSPECIAL:
Celia throws out a chi-incarnated kunai from her scythe, launching in front of her with an active hitbox. Once it stops moving, it will no longer have an active hitbox, and will remain idle until further action is done. It will disappear on parry.
Mechanics:
-Tapping the button will cause it to spin in place, creating a hitbox. This is somewhat attack-cancellable, meaning you can use it to mix up DI and extend your strings after a powerful attack!
-Holding the button will cause Celia to go into a focused state. by either tapping a direction, holding a direction, or doing a mix of the two, the kunai will move in one of the 8 cardinal directions of your choosing, up to 3 times! When the kunai is moving, the hitbox will return as well.
(Notes: -If the button is mashed, the movements will stop quicker and change direction quicker as a result.
-for clarification, "doing a mix of the two" means tapping for one direction, and holding for the others, or any combo like that.
(i.e. tapping up, then holding to the right will make the kunai move up once, then right the rest of the way: ^ > >.))
Further mechanics based around the central gimmick will be discussed later.
FSPECIAL:
Celia throw out a seed that, once planted, will sprout into a crystalized chi trap. This trap triggers when the following occurs:
1. Opponent is in hitsun and is launched into the trap,
2. Opponent runs into the trap
3. Celia gets hit into the trap and is in hitsun.
The seed is also an active hitbox, so feel free to try and use it as a combo extender as opposed to a trap! And don’t worry; even if it is a trap, if it lands in a place you don’t like, you can recast it once the cooldown is over!
Mechanics:
-If the seed hits the kunai while it’s out and idle, it will launch straight up (Kinda like maypul’s lily!) and come back down, stopping where the kunai was initially. This acts as a different avenue to landing the aerial hitbox!
-If the kunai makes conact with the trap, the trap triggers and sends the kunai upward for a free extra movement!
-Hitting someone with the seed when a trap is already active WILL deactivate the current trap.
USPECIAL:
Celia launches a hook in one of 8 cardinal directions. Depending on what it hits, different interactions will occur!
Interactions:
-Hitting an opponent will launch Celia to them, allowing for combo extensions!
-Hitting a base form kunai will launch her towards it, and the kunai towards her original position, creating an active hitbox and momentum for both entities.
-Hitting a kunai in hyper mode (to be discussed shortly) will cause Celia to move, but the kunai will not.
-Hitting platforms or the stage will cause her to move towards it depending on the direction (NOTE: hitting walls will renew your double jump!)
DSPECIAL:
Celia launches herself foward, in an arched kick (you know Shiek bouncing fish? Kind of like that.) Pretty straightfoward tbh.
-If you hit a kunai, you will bounce off of it, having another option for movement. Unlike Sheik, Jumping off does not renew the hitbox, and is solely a movement option. This also applies to when an opponent is hit.
GIMMICK:
If the opponent is hit with the kunai in any way, a counter is added to the kunai (This is seen audibly and visually on the kunai itself). Once it hits a counter of 3, pressing nspecial again will activate HYPER MODE. In this mode, you cannot tap or hold like you would normally. Instead, on tap, it hones in on the opponent, and acts as an active multhit hitbox. Once it lands, it will return to Celia and the counter will go to 0. Will also disappear on parry or death.
NOTE: in hyper mode, the only way it can move is upon triggering and it moving towards the opponent. Keep that in mind before you activate! If It’s too late, and you’re at 3 ticks, you can always use uspecial to move it around before triggering!
Have fun experimenting with the interactions between her specials, and use her large disjoints and combo tools in order to overwhelm your opponent and win the game! Thank you for download Celia, and I really hope you enjoy her. Much Love!
