Example Combo: jump in hard kick, standing hard punch, Flank Divide

Character Notes: Clops weilds a cursed, blacked broadsword. It used to be his sword when he was a paladin, but it causes him pain to use it now. Any normal person would just drop it, but he has a problem holding on to the past since most of his family has been killed. Only a priest can hold/uncurse the sword and a paladin can use it.

MOVES:

Throw 1 - Going Down: Clops grabs the opponents wrist, pulls them past him, then slashes them in the back of the legs.

Throw 2 - Stay Down: Clops knocks the opponent to the ground with his shield, then stabs his sword into them.

Anticipation Counter:
Clops thrusts his shield in front of him. If the opponent hits it, he immediately slashes them to the ground.

Armor Pierce: Clops reaches up in the air, if he catches a jumping opponent, he holds them up then runs them through with his sword before dropping them.

Shield Charge: Clops runs toward the opponent with his shield held in front of him, knocking them down if he connects. He can't be knocked out of this move by non-super special moves, but can be stopped by a well timed sweep. This move starts quickly, but leaves Clops open if he's blocked or misses.

Red Flask: Clops throws a flack on the ground in front of him, causing a small explosion. If it hits the opponent they are knocked straight up into the air. Depending on which button is used Clops either stands still or jumps away while throwing it.

Blue Flask: Clops drinks a potion healing a small percentage of his life. This move leaves him very open, only use when your opponent is down or far away.

Yellow Flask: Clops drinks a potion that very briefly makes his attacks do more damage. Much quicker than Blue Flask.

Flank Divide: FB + P - Clops slashes once each time this motion is inputed, up to 3 in a row. First slash is horizontal, second overhead, third upward. 

Retreat: Clops turns around and steps away making a wide overhead slash that leaves a light trail in the air. If the opponent runs into the trial they take a little damage and are sucked towards Clops. This has a little lag when it starts.

Surprise Drop: At any time during Clops jump he can drop quickly, stabbing his sword into the ground.

Supers:

Red Blaze: Clops tosses 3 red flasks, each exploding in succesion from nearest to farthest from him.

Cut Session: Clops performs a retreat, followed by a flank divide and shield charge. He could do this combo normally, but this super has a quick start up, unlike the retreat and can be tacked on to the end of a combo.

Full Potion: Clops holds up his shield while drinking a green potion. The green potion causes Clops to heal more than a blue potion and gain strength longer than a yellow. This counts as Clops blocking normally, he can be sweeped or thrown out of this move.

Desperation - Glory of Taron: Clops runs forward, slashing 8 times, he then tries to grab the opponent for an armor pierce, if he succeds he then drops a red flask on them. While he is slashing he can't be knocked out of this move, but he can take damage.

killing blow - Clops tosses a red flask and follows after it. If the opponent blocks the flask he immediately grabs them and stabs through their abdomen. If they don't block they and Clops catch fire from the flask and fall down.
