Darc Sharc

Darc Sharc, the unorthodox gambit, is a floaty staff-wielding zoner with a variety of tools to wall the opponent out, balanced out by a low weight, poor options in disadvantage, and a lackluster recovery. His main gimmick is a set of 4 symbols on a cycle, which augment the effects of his specials.

Darc Sharc's main gimmick involves 4 suit symbols that affect his Neutral, Forward, and Down Special. The symbols cycle on a set rotation, changing whenever he uses a special attack. The order of symbols in the rotation goes...

Each symbol also has its own category of effects it applies to each of Darc Sharc's specials...
♠ Spades: Multi-hit attacks, which can lock the opponent in place for follow-ups, or carry them closer to the blast zone.
♦ Diamonds: Massive projectile bursts that cover the stage, deal great damage up close, but also deal very little knockback.
♣ Clubs: High damage and high knockback attacks. Very straightforward, but very effective.
♥ Hearts: Healing attacks that deal very little damage to opponents in exchange for, well, self healing.

Neutral Special: Dice Toss
Neutral Special tosses out a dice, then hits it forward. Dice are bouncing projectiles that can be hit by the player and opponent, exploding once it hits an opponent. You can change the launch angle of the dice by holding Left, Right, or Neutral. You can also press Shield before the charge to cancel the swing! This puts you into pratfall, but you're able to hit the dice with any attack once you land on the ground.
♠ Spades: Creates several small explosions, launching the opponent upwards on the last hit.
♦ Diamonds: Bursts into a spread of diamond projectiles.
♣ Clubs: Explodes with high damage and knockback.
♥ Hearts: Deals 1%, but heals Darc Sharc for a small amount.


Forward Special: Symbol Shot
Darc Sharc grabs one of his symbols, then throws it out as a projectile. Depending on the symbol, Forward Special becomes drastically different...
♠ Spades: Fires a spinning spade drill, which accelerates as it travels and can hit the opponent multiple times.
♦ Diamonds: Fires a wide spread of diamond projectiles.
♣ Clubs: Fires a massive club-shaped projectile that deals high damage and knockback.
♥ Hearts: Fires a homing heart shot, which deals 1%, but heals Darc Sharc for a small amount.


Down Special: Trap Card
Down Special turns a symbol into a floating sigil, which explodes after 1 second. The opponent can hit the sigil to destroy it before it explodes.
♠ Spades: Creates several small explosions, launching the opponent upwards on the last hit.
♦ Diamonds: Bursts into a large spread of diamond projectiles.
♣ Clubs: Creates a massive explosion that deals high damage and knockback.
♥ Hearts: Creates a healing pulse, which can heal both Darc Sharc and the opponent.


Up Special: Card Warp
Up Special is a standard omni-directional warp. Darc Sharc is fully invincible while invisible.
