Dark Matter

-----
Dark Matter is a powerful floaty zoning character who specializes in controlling a ton of ground with his various other-worldly projectiles and large sword normals. His floaty mobility also allows him to stay in the air for long periods of time, making him very threatening while he’s there. Utilize his powerful space control tools and Dark Matter minion to keep opponents overwhelmed before the final strike!
-----
Using his Fspecial, Dark Matter summons a dark blob that travels forward before forming into a smaller Dark Matter Minion when you release the Special button or after a few seconds. Similar to Absa Fspecial, you are able to control the vertical trajectory of the dark blob while its traveling by pressing up or down, allowing you to set it up in more convenient areas or to snipe opponents out of the air!

Once the Minion is out on the field, it will in place until you command it to perform specific actions. The minion is immune to damage as long as it isn’t doing something, though hitting it or parrying Dark Matter while it is active will destroy it and put it on a cooldown.

Performing a strong attack while the Minion is active will cause it to unleash a small blast in front of it in the direction of the strong you performed. These can be used to harrass the opponent from the minion's location, though due to how committal his strong attacks are, this can be risky. The Minion will start fully prepping to unleash the blast after you release your strong charge, which results in some strongs being faster than others.

Pressing Fspecial while the Minion is active causes Dark Matter to order it to detonate, functioning almost identically to Absa’s cloud pop. If he performs the move while he has any Dspecial orbs on him, he will instead send them off to the Minion rather than detonating it, turning it into a sawblade which lasts longer depending on how many orbs you sent off. You can choose to detonate it if you have Orbs on you by pressing parry during Fspecial’s startup.
Based on Dark Matter’s original set of projectile attacks from Kirby Dream Land 2, Dark Matter channels dark magic at the tip of his blade before shooting it forward as a quick projectile. If you hold the button down for a bit, he will swing his sword to shoot off a powerful projectile that stuns opponents if it hits for a powerful combo extension. However, this powered up projectile can be reflected back at him if they hit it with a physical attack, making the game turn into a brief game of hot potato until one player gets clipped by it.

Shooting the Minion with an Nspecial projectile will cause it to travel a short distance forward. Hitting it with a charged Nspecial causes it to travel significantly further.

Acting very similarly to Zelda's Up Special from the Smash bros games, Dark Warp is a decent recovery tool and mix up option that allows you to catch opponents off guard over long distances. The initial swing sports a quick hitbox that is designed to theoretically lead into the more powerful second hit, though that is largely dependent on the opponent's DI and Drift. However, Uspecial offers little in the ways of recovery mixups and is highly venerable once Dark Matter reappears, making reckless usage of Uspecial liable towards getting punished heavily. You are able to teleport to the Minion’s location by holding the special button, though this can still be easily punished if you aren’t careful about it.

Dark Matter rears its cloak up and proceeds to spew out golden orbs from its own body, which begin to encircle them. They will summon up to 4 orbs before stopping, though you can cancel out of the summon early by pressing the jump or shield button, allowing you to keep yourself safe while setting up. Pressing the attack or special button during the summon will transition into the orb launch early.

Once 4 orbs have been summoned, pressing Dspecial causes Dark Matter to launch all of his stocked up orbs in a barrage of large projectiles. If any of the orbs hit, they begin to orbit around the opponent for a few seconds before slamming into their location. This secondary barrage has signifigantly better tracking if the opponent is in hitstun when they start to home in, making them useful for extending combos. Similar to Sephiroth Fspecial, these orbs force the opponent into a dangerous scramble situation where they have to avoid taking damage to escape the barrage, though the tracking on the barrage is weaker if the opponent isn’t in hitstun

You can perform both of his taunts while in the air to stall yourslef for a bit (or just to show off).
