Bio: This is Neil. He wasn’t born faithful, but when he found the Church at eighteen, he thought he'd finally filled the void inside.

Normal Attacks
Jab: A palm strike of the left hand, followed by a roundhouse kick of the left leg, both boasting poor damage. He finishes by hitting the opponent with his cross, which does better damage. Additionally, there is a hitbox right on the cross which boasts slightly more damage.
Forward Tilt: Swings his rosary forwards. It's angleable upwards or downwards. There is a sweetspot on the cross that does more damage and knockback. It has good startup and meh endlag, making it somewhat spammable.
Dash Attack: Neil stops running and juts his hand with his cross out a little, sliding forwards a bit. His entire arm is a hitbox that gets weaker overtime, except the cross. The cross is a sweetspot, boasting the most damage and knockback. Neil has long endlag after this.
Up Tilt: Neil raises his cross up like a relic in one hand high above his head. If the opponent hits his arm, it does less damage, but if his cross hits the opponent, it does substantially more damage and slightly more knockback.
Down Tilt: A sweeping kick across the floor, boasting somewhat low damage. It has meh knockback and frame data, and has a relatively low chance to trip.
Aerial Attacks
Neutral Air: Spins his rosary all around himself once. It's somewhat weak and boasts meh knockback and scaling, but it is good for getting a move out fast and snuffing out projectiles.
Forward Air: A quick, outward jut of his cross, boasting good startup but poor endlag. If the opponent hits his arm, it does less damage, but if his cross hits the opponent, it does substantially more damage and slightly more knockback.
Back Air: A donkey kick behind himself. It boasts a good bit of startup, but in return it does good knockback, being able to kill offstage at higher percents. It also boast decent range as Neil sticks his leg out, but it gets weaker over time.
Up Air: A spinning swipe with his cross in his hand from right to left. I

Input Commands
Input Command 1: [An input string consisting of 🡠, 🡤, 🡡, 🡥, 🡢, 🡦, 🡣, 🡧, and Special (S) at the end of said input string. A Fighter can have up to three of these, and they are usually either reserved for moves that could have been Specials, or high-skill combo tools, unique attacks, or defining character mechanics. For example, Terry’s Power Geyser is one of his Input Commands as it rewards him with a more powerful attack for doing an input string. This assumes your Fighter is facing right.]
