Phoenix 1.0.0

A.I. patch added

Rank:  Above Average

A character quite accurate to his source game - read, the game was terrible.
On the surface, Phoenix may seem quite weak - he can only do attacks in the air when jumping forward, for example.
But a closer look show that Phoenix is quite the janky character. He can only block low, and just ignores most attempts by opponents to combo him.
In particular, launching him into the air is a bad idea, as he'll just fall back down, recover and hit back with surprisingly fast and spamable normals.
Aside from a throw, a dash attack and a projectile, that is all Phoenix has though - he's not going to pull many tricks.
Still, for lacking any combos, the speed of his attacks can more often than not make up for it.
From his weird aspects, several opponents he shouldn't even be able to beat might just fall against him. In particular, he deals well with superarmor.
