Putrolce

Description
It's Chow-Time!
Putrolce, the Never-Ending Hunger, alongside her demonic mask Salvbub, are here to sink their fangs into the opposition! With brute strength, a set of monstrous jaws, the ability to mold stone itself, and a ravenous appetite, Putrolce can chase down opponents to deliver powerful blows and devastating bites, as long as she keeps her hunger in check.


Hungry for Meter Management?
Putrolce is all about hefty damage and killpower without sacrificing too much speed and survivability, as long as you keep her from going too hungry! Her Hunger Meter drains when performing most of her attacks, but it increases greatly whenever she attacks by biting down someone or by using her mask, Salvbub. Hunger is divided into 9 "pips", and depending on how filled up her meter is, she will be in one of 4 states:


( 8 - 9 ) Overstuffed: When Putrolce is full or mostly full, she will be Overstuffed, with her speed slowing down and her attacks becoming sluggish. However, her attacks will greatly increase in both damage and killpower, letting her rack up damage and favoring attack trades.
( 3 - 7 ) Normal: The state that takes up the most space in her Hunger Meter. No real gimmicks are present in this state, so it's a nice balance between speed and strength.
( 1 - 2 ) Ravenous: When the Hunger Meter is close to empty, but not fully, Putrolce becomes agitated, speeding up massively and gaining faster framedata at the cost of some of her power. Use this state to quickly chase down any prey that tries to run away from your wrath!
( 0 ) Famished: If you're too careless and drain the Hunger Meter all the way, Putrolce gets exhausted, losing most of her strength and speed with no benefit at all. Avoid this state at all costs!

Special Moves
Neutral Special: Snack on the Go
Putrolce's abilities allow her to eat monsters called "figments", by encasing them in rock.
A Sleeper is a type of figment that's normally inert and just causes drowsiness, and for this move Salvbub upchucks one eaten earlier, still encased in its stone coating, decreasing your meter a pip.
The Sleeper will break free on its own, moving forwards in a wavy motion and homing in slightly to the nearest opponent, but if a petrified Sleeper hits the foe it will attack in a voracious frenzy and follow up by ramming into them teeth first! After they attack, Sleepers will stay floating on stage, where they can be grabbed by Dspecial or Uspecial to be eaten again, gaining 2 pips for a net profit. Up to 2 Sleepers can be spat out onto the field at once.

Fspecial: Rock Bash
Putrolce encases her arm in stone, charging shoulder-first with a powerful dash! This attack has different properties based on your stances.Using it on an idle Sleeper will yield different results depending on which stance you're in when you use it.

Uspecial: Street Shark
Leap high into the air like a great shark, and crash down onto the ground! Pressing the Special button again lets you perform a grab during your ascent, snatching up any opponents or Sleepers into you grasp with your stony claws! The amount of voracious bites you perform also depends on your stance.

Dspecial: Gargoyle's Curse
Putrolce steps back before delivering a piercing stab with her arm! Anyone unfortunate enough to get hit will be briefly petrified into a statue before Putrolce chomps down on them, recovering a great amount of Meter and even deals extra damage at the tip. This move also works on idle Sleepers, and pressing the Special button again will let you throw it again, this time the Sleeper staying petrified until it hits the ground.

Other Notable Moves
Dtilt has Putrolce taking a scoop of rocks and consuming them. You can cancel out of the animation a lot sooner than you think, but if you let the entire animation play out you gain 2 pips of Hunger Meter.

Jab, Dtilt, Ftilt, Nair, Dstrong, Dspecial, and Nspecial stay the same across all stances.

Her Dattack, Scarab Dash, can be cancelled into Ustrong on hit.

I'm not sure if she should have that normally since her recovery is already pretty decent. It'd be a fun rune idea, tho! I may add dash attack into up smash as a rune too.

Ye! The overstuffed and voracious modes fixes really fit more. and the nerf on gaining one meter from d-tilt doesnt impact you as much as I thought it would. Forever rip dash to up smash 💔

Also would she ever able to stick onto walls with down special? Just suggesting this again since corrin/sephiroth from smash can do this but if she cant its a-ok.

Ay! I'm glad to hear that! I was a bit worried some of her overhauled moves would feel weird so it makes me happy to hear she's still liked by her usual players!

A chomper alt isn't a bad idea either :YuutoWhoa:

overall she feels slightly slower but still hits the same, although some mechanics were changed I think some (like the 2nd up b after the sleeper is out and the new fspecial/dspecials) allows for better stuff shes kewl 👌W character keep it up [pvz chomper alt when?]

I also LOVE the sleeper setups/combos with her. W character, my main right next to Pici.

This character is extremely fun, made my friends pissed off at what I was pulling. Kinda wondering if she'll be updated again, like her down special sticks onto walls like sephiroth's sword in smash.

Oh right yeah. A patch is planned to release soon that reworks a few of her mechanics, and lots of bugfixes too
