Rhodium

Disjointed moves with limitations. Uses down-special to charge moves.

Specials

Up - Loop Slash

• Quickly curve backward and up

Side - Memory

• Perform a hit in place, then quickly attack horizontally
• If attack lands, or an attack hit shortly before activation, then Rhodium remembers and moves toward that target
• If the horizontal leap connects, then Rhodium may act after the move; otherwise, become helpless
• Tip: Immediately using side-B after connecting with fast move, like nair, to home in for a follow up

Down - Refresh

• Rhodium's primary mechanic: using down-B refreshes every normal move
• Can be jumped out of start on frame 4, and is intangible on frame 1
• If no moves have been burned, has a frame 1 hit with weak knockback and horizontal trajectory
• Tip: Can double-Refresh to get out a hit even if moves have been burned; Refresh -> Jump -> Refresh before leaving ground (3-frame window; frame 4-6)
• See Refresh and Burn section below

Neutral - Burn

• See Refresh and Burn section below
• Shakes as it adds to the burn counter, until a move condition is met

• Divisible by 5: Kick
• Divisible by 9: Spin
• Divisible by 13: Back Stab

Refresh and Burn

Every normal move (taps, tilts, aerials, grabs, throws) has some hitbubbles that only activate while it's refreshed. Using a move burns it. All moves are restored whenever Refresh (down-special) is used. Many attacks gain a sweetspot or additional range, like forward-tap or grabs. Some take on new trajectories, like throws.

Each time a move is burned (once per animation between refreshes), the burn counter increases by 1, which is used by Burn (neutral-special). Using Refresh fully resets this counter. A consequence of animations is that moves spanning multiple animations, like forward tilt (e.g. ftilt -> ftilt-up) or tap attacks (f-tap -> charge -> release), count multiple times and can be exploited to quickly reach a given number.
