Heavy Lobster (resprited + updated)

[Now redone with custom spritework to fit the Rivals aesthetic, along with balance changes and fixes detailed below!]

---

Special Moves:

Neutral Special - Fire Wave: burns close-range opponents and provides a steady (but wavy!) stream of damage.

Side Special - Mini Lobster: spawns a mini Heavy Lobster that charges up and glides forward at high speed, ramming into enemies and knocking them forwards.

Down Special - Paint Blob: spawns a blob of paint that hops forward several times, and knocks enemies upwards.

Up Special - Boosters: propels Heavy Lobster up a fair amount, and can be cancelled mid-flight by aerials. You only get one charge at a time while midair (one is restored by walljumping) - after that, all you'll get is a small explosion and a bit of height!
