Charlotte

Description
Character Overview

Charlotte hails from the world of the magical girl horror anime, Puella Magi Madoka Magica. She's a small bait-and-punish character who tricks opponents into a false sense of security with her low weight and slow speed, but becomes faster and stronger over the course of the match by using her air strongs to eat her own minions.

Down Special (Ground): Pyotr March
This is one of the keys to her moveset. On the ground, Down Special spawns a door that slowly spawn Pyotrs, her subordinate minions. On their own, they follow Charlotte and her enemies.
The door can be broken down by hitting it three times. However, while all of her minions are out, the door heals itself.

Air Strongs
Her air strongs, a set of command grabs with defined ranges, are the other key to her moveset. The only hitbox is on Charlotte's face. She can use them to eat her minions, gaining a buff I'm calling Sugar Rush[/b]. This buff, unlike most buffs on workshop, can stack; i.e, if you eat more minions, the buff gets stronger. It also lasts infinitely, until she spends too long on the ground.

Up Special: Up Special is a simple rising, damaging multihit.

i love the concept of this a lot (and adore charlotte) but as she is i feel she has a ways to go

the aerial focus is fun, but she has few ways to reliably stay in the air, especially without being hit while trying to position (maybe if her nspecial was just a peach float style move?)

the way to spawn minions is very slow and the door easily broken, and her air grabs to eat them are a bit janky as they are, plus it's very very easy to lose all the buffs at once resetting that very slow progress to zero again

plus after all that once you are fast it still feels like she is lacking in the capacity to finish an opponent off due to her lack of strongs

i really like what you have going and don't want to be discouraging! i really hope to see her updated more in the future

i could see her becoming a very interesting, unique and fun character i would love to use a lot if you keep showing her support

Is this character still being worked on? You've got a cool concept here, I hope you're still cooking

Unfinished character, slow to start, easy to punish.

The character is pretty creative but it's a bit rough, are side special and neutral special supposed to be only used as a movement tool?

Didn't expect this character, but I don't mind at all

i've been considering giving the strongs a weak non-grabbing hitbox, so i think i'm gonna do that now, thanks for the suggestion! side special is a basic momentum burst, like jirachi's, though i have plans to make it more interesting. neutral special commands the minions, and i plan to add something to it in the future, while fixing up a bunch of stuff with the minions and making them better--this was made to meet a deadline, so i had to cut down some of my plans.
thanks for taking interest in charlotte! the next patch will give her a side strong, the animation is pretty much done :3

This is a really cool character but I defiantally think the rest of her air strongs sprite should have a hit box even if it doesnt deal the same damage. It just feels really inconsistent and jank to use. Also side strong doesnt work I dont think?? I dont know if I doing it wrong but it seems like only down air strong and up air strong work. Finally what does side special and neutral special do?? Everything else is perfect though amazing character just a few small things feel a bit off keeping it from it being flawless
