[Char] Nya (rep char, collab with JoHo15)

[Nyamaiku]

Introduction
always wanted a rep char, JoHo15 helped with design, face pic, and did most of the sprite work

Description
An overall slow character who uses gimmicky and quirky moves, but make up for it by having good basic attacks with long reach. All of her basic attacks will drain some mp.

D>J Swaps places with a target up to half a screen in front of the character. Target is momentarily vulnerable to all attacks, including their own. Also works on teammates. Press J after a successful swap to perform an evasive flip.

DJA Draws a card that will provide 1 of 4 different effects:
Diamond- Creates an anti-magic crystal containing 12 pulses. It disrupts projectiles and destroys any airborne items. The crystal depletes 3x as quickly if directly attacked.

Club - Spawns 3 bouncy homing balls. These balls cannot be damaged and will keep chasing forever until they hit something.

Heart - Heals 100hp.

Spade - Gains a stored explosion, released by pressing DJA again. Can be used at any time when the character is on the ground. Other cards cannot be drawn until the charge has been used.

Can't wait for this one. Also, can you put in the Placeholder CharSelect when you upload the character as a bonus?
It looks funny af.

[Nyamaiku]

char is completed, comes with an AI that should be around original AI's level, also comes with difficulty checking

[LTWasabi]

Awesome character mate! Really fun to play with. This and your other work, Kaktena are 2 of the most polished original custom char and love 'em both.

[Nyamaiku]

real sry to those who already downloaded the char, but theres a prob with D>J wpoint, fixed it, also gave AI a tiny update.
first post has been updated with newest download link

Found 2 bugs.

Diamond shield destroys falling items.

If F6 is activated, Diamond shield doesn't break.

[STM1993]

Diamond disrupts projectiles and destroys any airborne items; this is done via itr effect 4.
So no, this is not a bug.

Diamond is a type 5 that uses mp: tag as its hit counter.
Turning on F6, which is a cheat code for unlimited mp, would of course prevent diamond from breaking; it is not considered a bug.

updated to v1.2, changes:
-added the ability to rebound weak balls to dice's number glyph part (demonstrated in the gif) removed in v1.420
-diamond crystal pulse count increased from 8 to 12, still breaks in 4 direct hits
-club chase balls dmg decreased from 35 to 30
-fixed a mistake i left in when experimenting with superpunch stuffs, will no longer do dmg + bounce
