Hope everyone enjoys the new update!

@Enomilli

Thank you for the notes, but I'm currently holding off on explicit nerfs or buffs at the moment because she is being tested for legality in certain WS brackets like FTL. She's legal in Workshop Elites and Round-A-Bouts, if you were interested in seeing how she performs in those ecosystems against those characters.

One other thing, I'm not the biggest fan of her "Cold" mechanic. Just doing extra damage for landing a few attacks in pretty boring. It doesn't even change how you approach the opponent whereas Zetter's fire status means you want to land a Strong to capitalize on the massive knockback boost.

If it were to have a similar passive effect and big pay-off to Zetter's fire, perhaps it could increase the start-up of the opponent's attacks by a small amount (10-20%, rounded up) to make the opponent vulnerable to Frostine going on the offensive. If that isn't possible it could also simply reduce the speed of their movement. And for the big pay-off, if the opponent gets hit by the Ice Statue's explosion (and maybe some other stuff like U-Strong?) while afflicted, they're frozen. Think Olympia's crystallize but rather than breaking upon hitting the ground they're stunned until a short time has passed or they've been hit by an attack.

Continuing what Enomilli said on balance, I think her d-air also comes out a bit too fast for how strong it is. Could probably use a bit more start-up.

Also have another suggestion for deepening the mechanics of her moves around her statue. Namely, it would be cool if you could detonate it in a way other than launching the opponent into it, I'm thinking hitting it with her projectiles could make it explode allowing you to punish opponents who approach it carelessly and set traps to cover certain movement options or recoveries.

N-Special's normal version and U-Special's daggers could both do this, and empowered N-Special could do the same but have the ice bat continue after hitting the statue whereas the normal frost missile and ice daggers will be destroyed upon hitting the statue.

Her jab should not kill. I've killed people at almost 76% because of the knockback and angel it sends at. Having less knock back but keeping the angle would allow for you to follow tech chases or be good at the ledge.

Her back air is also too strong for how fast and easy it is to land. It should be more of a combo tool with less knock back but set up into dairs or uairs.

Her forward air's hitbox is too big and the knockback angle is too unfavorable. Giving it a smaller hitbox (it has teleported people into its hitbox many times) and knocking people up and diagonally would be great.

Last her down tilt is too fast with not enough end lag to justify it killing. It being a set up would be better.

She's very floaty with a good recovery so her playstyle should lean toward off stage aggression or chasing kills as opposed to getting kills out right much like how it is for Samus in her own games.

Being this versatile with this much ko power is too much for all she has already.

@The Ogrelord i actually agree! We're planning on eventually giving her a grab system on ground and more throw directions for statue! I can't say when it'll come out, but keep your ears peeled!

Really great character, feels like she'd fit right in with the base cast with how she's derivative of Samus but puts her own twist on things.

The one thing I think would be nice to see is more control over how you throw the ice statue. Not being able to turn around after grabbing it to throw it backwards makes it a bit awkward, and it would be great if you could throw it upwards as well.

The other changes are good, jab 1 connects to jab 2 more consistently at lower percents, but not the tilts. It pushes the opponent way too far away and they just ground tech before the next attack comes out.

@neurosis51

there was a huge patch last night, see if that addresses it, when you can, unsub and resub to force update!

I think it should pop the opponent up or something similar since jab 1 doesn't even let you convert into her tilts.

Her 1-2 jab doesn't link properly at all. The opponent instantly falls out after jab 1 and they can recover dodge.

I legit thought she was a Forsburn advanced skin due to the pose she was making onher banner

Amazing character. Great Morrigan animations. Plays like samus on crack. Some things to consider: Fair is massive and doesn't really align with the animation. It's also very easy to link for off-stage kills. Secondly, ice clone's trap explosion feels very inconsistent, and I think a large part of that is being active for a single frame. All in all: great character 9/10

Great character, fits really well with the cast. I love her moves and the Castlevania references! My only minor nitpick is that I think the cold status mechanic could be expanded a bit. Still, great work!

His name is Rykenburn :)

Who's the fire buffalo guy :0

cool bat

I second this, this character does indeed look so freakin cool

This character looks so freakin cool
