Madeline

Description
Play as Madeline from Celeste! Her airdodges and rolls have been replaced by a dash that can go in eight directions.
Part of Madeline (Badeline) also joins in during some of her moves!

Madeline now has Abyss Runes!
Check out Rune Buddy to use them:

Also has a new codec with Trum. & Alto:

Disclaimer: Badeline and Madeline's hair does not display in training mode or the workshop menu. There is no way to fix this issue as the workshop implementation is currently.

Now also has skins! You can mix and match any combination of Madeline, Badeline and Theo!

This version of Madeline features:
- Hair physics like those in Celeste.
- Theo during her Taunt.
- A winged strawberry you can summon with her Up-Smash.
* The winged strawberry flies away and hits opponents the next time she dashes.
- Dream Mist from DSPECIAL, that can extend and replenish her dash.
- She can also wavedash like she can in Celeste (different from Rivals of Aether wavedashing) by dashing diagonally towards the ground and jumping to get a speed boost.
- She can charge her dash with N-Special to dash two times before landing.
- Oshiro serves as her F-Smash to land heavy hits!
- [RUNE ONLY] A Dash Block from the level Reflections, which is activated by dashing into its sides.

Note about her dash:
- Her dash is a polite hitbox, meaning that it only deals knockback to opponents in hitstun.
- You can jump after dashing on the ground to perform a superdash.
- You can jump after dashing diagonally towards the ground (while grounded) to perform a hyperdash.
- If the dash is charged with N-Special, she will only lose the charge by dashing in the air or off the ground.

Did you know that the victory screen changes if you win without either dashing, dying or both?

I've made an effort to reduce the lag caused by DSPECIAL on some computers. Please tell me if this continues to be an issue

I've been having a lot of fun with Madeline and I feel they have a lot of potential, but I do have some personal gripes/critiques/etc.

- The dash is an interesting mechanic, but right now it doesn't feel very smooth to use, I feel like you should be able to use moves mid-dash, currently it doesn't feel overly useful outside of hyperdashing and recovery.

- Down Special is a great idea, but in its current state it doesn't feel worth your time to use. Neutral Special can do basically everything it can do but better. You can't set it up well since opponents can destroy it super easily, so it has no use in combos or recovery. If you're going to keep it as is, it should have some effect with the opponent as well. Maybe have them be able to dash through it, and make it so that if someone gets knocked into it, they'll go through it and be knocked back even further?

- Down Special can cause extreme lag in multiplayer 90% of the time. I don't know if you're aware of this bug or not, though.

i love this character, is interesting, specially the detail of the upsmash (ustrong), but i have some issues with the down B, is start to lag the game and i dont use it for that reason (even if i like it concept)

There are two different dash sound effects for which direction Maddy dashes. You are only using one.

In the description, there's a link to the Abyss Rune buddy. If you subscribe to that and equip the buddy, you can toggle a rune that grants you the old down-b

what does rune only mean? (I'm fairly new to the game). I really wanna get the dash block from the old down b back

For some reason it looks like Madeline's forward strong getting parried stuns her for significantly less time than the other moves. You can't even land a tilt before she dashes away.

I'm not planning to do a Badeline buddy myself, but anyone else can feel free to use my Badeline sprites to create one themselves (just credit the sprites to this workshop item in the description)
