Intangible counter fighter · Advanced
the phase-sage
“It only counts once it survives the smoke test.”
01 / BACKGROUND
Xenon studies many-actor worlds where survival is a matter of synchronization and phase — of arriving a quarter-beat out of step with disaster. A sage of resilient infrastructure, he can slip his whole body out of phase, passing cleanly through anything aimed at where he used to be.
He fights to show that the most sovereign defense is not a wall but a rhythm: brace the stack against one blow, resonate, and answer from a place the attack cannot reach.
02 / SPECIAL ATTACKS
Inputs assume the fighter faces right. W = punch · E = kick.
Intangible cross-through dash
Dash forward while INTANGIBLE — you pass straight through your opponent AND their attacks, ending up behind them for a cross-up strike. A dodge and a mix-up in one.
Intangible projectile reflection window
Snap into a phase-parry: for a moment attacks pass right through you, and any projectile that hits you is TURNED AROUND and fired straight back at whoever threw it — faster.
Teleporting gap-close strike
Teleport instantly to point-blank right in front of your opponent and land a fast strike. No invincibility, so it is a committal way to close distance and open them up.
03 / SPRITE SHEET
34 hand-drawn poses — the same sprites the terminal renders.
