MOVES:

Throw 2 - Clops grabs the opponents knees, dropping them to their back, then swings them around once, tossing them behind.

Anticipation Counter:

Clops holds an open hand in front of him, if it is hit, he grabs the offending arm or leg, tossing the opponent behind him.

Specials:

Unseen Step: Clops disappears for a second before ramming the opponent with his shoulder. He can't be hit while invisible, if he connects, the opponent is launched into the air.

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.

Dragon Leap: Clops jumps to the top of the screen, attempting to stomp on the opponents head. Knocks opponent to the ground if it connects.

Dragon Defense: Clops jumps up and forward, catching anyone in his way and tossing them down onto their back. Can catch other dragoons during their jumps.

Shadow Hold: Clops points to the opponent, sending his shadow along the ground. If the opponent doesn't block, several thick, black cords grow from the ground, holding them immobile for two seconds.

Illusion Blade: Clops kneels, drawing a sword from his shadow and attempts to stab the opponent in the abdomen from his kneeling position, temporarily stunning them. This does no damage, but must be blocked low..

Beatdown: Clops takes a few steps forward, arms up, obviously trying to grab the opponent. He pulls them over by their shoulders, kneeing them repeatedly in the stomach, then smashes them down to the ground with his forearm. Mash the kick button for more hits. :P

Dragon Breath: Clops inhales and blows a cloud of cold air, freezing the opponent for a second and doing minor damage. Also stops projectiles.

Supers:

Dark Blaze: Clops points, sending his shadow hurriedly across the floor. If it catches the opponent, he follows up by tossing two red flasks.

False Image: Clops's shadow grows over him, revealing a copy of the opponent, weapon included as it falls back to the ground.
He still has his own moves and stats, but gains one of their moves as well. He will never copy their shield as he needs one free hand.

Life Withdrawal: Clops kneels, pulling a large sword from his shadow, immediately standing with a large upward slash. If he hits an unblocking opponent, they are caught on his blade. The sword disappears dropping them to the ground.

Desperation:

Final Flight: Clops grabs for an opponent right in front of him. If he catches them, he jumps with them, letting go at the top of the screen. He kicks them to the ground ahead of him with both feet, several spikes grow from their shadow as they land.

Killing Blow:

Clops takes off a gauntlet, dashing forward to swipe his talons at the opponents neck.
