Description
ONCE AGAIN BIG THANKS to FelixBlobDev for his animation.gml code carried over from Pyro!

Victory theme is Glacius' theme from KI 2013

My first Echo Fighter! I can't believe I'm rehashing ideas already. Frostbite is an "echo" of Pyro, with frostbite borrowing Many of Pyro's tilts, specials, and aerials, while also having many of his own. Frostbite is all about freezing his opponents in place before delivering the finishing blow with his powerful attacks.

Nspecial: Shiver Skull
---------------------------------------------------------------------
An aimable projectile that functions almost identically to Pyro's solar sphere. Freezes opponents on contact and applies the "SHATTERED" status if the ice ball indicator on the HUD is opaque. Otherwise, knocks opponent back.

Fspecial: Frigid Spike/Skewer
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frostbite tosses an ice spike straight ahead. If this projectile connects, 3 ice shards will rotate around the opponent. Pressing Fspecial again will activate Skewer; causing all the shards to converge on the target and send them upwards.

Dspecial: Magnetic North/Repulsion
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frotbite pulls any shattered opponents towards him. This attack can be changed to Repulsion by pressing shield in conjunction with Dspecial, which sends shattered enemies away form you.

Uspecial: Ice Sheet
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frostbite summons an icy platform directly beneath him. Pressing Uspecial while a platform is out destroys it.


TRAIT: COLD Meter
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike Pyro, Frostbite builds his meter traditionally by dealing damage with all of his attacks. each successful strike fills the COLD meter, and when it's full, his next use of either Nspecial or Fspecial will be replaced by a powerful super attack.

TRAIT: SHATTERED status
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Any opponent hit by Either Nspecial or Flash Freeze will become "shattered", indicated by cracking ice block animation above their head. Shattered opponents take more knockback and 2% more damage from all of Frostbite's attacks. An opponent cannot be shattered again until the ice ball indicator on the HUD is opaque.

Super Attack 1: Flash Freeze (Nspecial with full meter)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frostbite freezes time in midair before unleashing a full screen blast of ice that freezes and shatters all opponents hit. This leaves opponents frozen in place longer than Shiver Skull.

Super Attack 2: Blizzard (Fspecial with full meter)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frostbite freezes time before snapping his fingers and summoning a powerful blizzard that covers the whole screen and damages opponents constantly.


Frostbite's proportions and some attacks were made referencing Team NeRVe's Fox mod. Check it out here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1941825892

Hail sprite crashes the game when loading (why is the sprite 16000x4000)

@drybowser321 I agree with you. I sincerely like everything about this chracter but you cannot recover with that up special. It is literally impossible. and the cool down does not help.

@George Seinfeld
I just dont want to sound like complain. Hence, below are some possible suggestion in my humble opinion:
option1: a new up special: that may take a lot of time as there is a lot to do in the background that need to designed and programmed.
option2: reduced the cooldown of the current up special and allow frostbite to create another stair. In other word, he can create two consecutive stairs. That way, frostbite can climb back up using those two stair.
option3: or if the cooldown mecanism is not possible to implement. Have him create a maximum of two stairs. No cooldown. However, if there is already two stairs, and that I want to create a new one. The oldest stair will disappear first.

Thanks

please fix his recovery, theres nothing good about it, i mean the concept is cool if the platform launched you or something but the cool down on it too, that always gets me killed

I'm hoping that when I try this guy out I don't have the same problem.

My only beef with Pyro as a character was how much he talks and how loud it was, other than that he is a fun fighter.
