[Char] Darius (Levi Version)

[rewlf2]

Introduction
Darius is a character originally created by Prince_Freeza (Pf) and was remade once by him. I got his permission on revamping his character, but this time I made him a different character from both versions, a character who excels in deception and close-quarter combat, capable to confuse enemies while dishing out damage.

Description
Darius retains his slow movement, but is nothing like his other versions.

He does not have either long-range or z-axis oriented abilities, instead he is capable to nullify incoming threats and trick enemies with feints, delayed attacks and highly damaging melee combos. He does not have straightforward combo damage like Davis and Dennis, but can react to crowd control much better.

I did a virus scan on virustotal.com, it showed no problem.

I also uploaded a duplicate on google drive. I suggest google can scan for me.
