Introduction

THIS IS A PERFECTLY BALANCED VS.

Gameplay

Strengths	Weaknesses
Is a giant Can hit hard Has a ton of armored normals Unblockable missiles Really good overheads Can pull off sick combos off stray hits Fairly easy yet damaging combos for a VS game.	Is a little slow, has to commit if dashing Jumps have 13 frame startup and can be punished during this period Can fight zoning but struggles a tiny bit Because he is the shorter of the two giants, juggling him is easier

Moves List

Normal Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5A	10	-	-	-	-	-	Much like Lightan, it's terrible when whiffed, but on hit or block it's extremely fast.
2A	15	-	-	-	1040	Armored	Even more annoying, has some armored frames when his shield is facing outward.
5B	19	-	-	-	2560	-	PTX turns and gives a swipe, no real complaints.
6B	38	-	-	-	5600	Overhead	PTX pulls out his chainsaw and runs it across the ground, overhead.
6B -> 4B	7	-	-	-	-	Low/Hard Knockdown	PTX pulls out his chainsaw...then he doesn't, he just explodes the entire ground in front of him. Enjoy that 50/50. After doing this, you can easily VS Tackle or Caliber Execution right after.
2B	19	-	-	-	1600	Low/Sweep	PTX does a quick sweep. Can easily link to 2C.
5C	21	-	-	-	7037	-	Honestly, I forgot this normal exists. There's very little reason to use this aside from the damage, I guess. Hits twice. Could be an anti-air.
2C	25	-	-	-	8969	OTG	Very little reason to use this in neutral, but it's great in combos or after L-P Buster. It hits OTG so squeeze out that insane damage. If you got some BBQ, you can OTG twice.
3C	18	-	-	-	3600	Launcher	Kind of forgot he even has a launcher, hitbox is really low. It's not useful for much.
4C/6C	16	-	-	-	7200	WallBounce	PTX's grab, tech with 360C. Make sure you learn this because if you don't, PTX can make this an infinite.
j.A	9	-	-	-	-	Overhead	Jumping knee, pretty decent.
j.B	12	-	-	-	-	Overhead	Jumping knee, very rare that you'll see this.
j.C	15	-	-	-	-	Overhead	PTX takes a seat in the air and lets out exhaust, has a VERY wide hitbox and starts up fast. Expect to see it as a surprise overhead when combined with Baroque. If done as an oki option, it can be very ambiguous.

Special Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Weapon (Left Weapon) 214X (Right Weapon) 236X Gatling Shotgun Unblockable Missile Reload Input when weapon is missing	-	-	-	-	-	Projectile/Unblockable	PTX takes a knee and lets off whatever weapon is on his shoulder. A shoots downward. B shoots horizontal. C shoots upward. For Shotgun and Gatling, the weapons degrade after three uses. Missile degrades after a single shot. Missiles are unblockable and cause hard knockdown. When weapons are exhausted, input the command for the missing arm to restock. The weapon that you receive is random.
Caliber Execution [2]->8X	24/26/28	-	-	-	-	-	PTX pulls out a chainsaw and goes upward. Very little reason to use any version besides heavy. Combos right after M VS TACKLE.
VS TACKLE [4]->6X SNAPBACK!!!	32/34/41	-	-	-	-	Wall bounce/Snapback/Armor	PTX charges towards the opponent with shield out. Completely armored during active frames (but why?). Light and Medium causes wallbounce, Heavy causes snapback.

Super Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Arsenal Barrage 41236X	-	-	-	-	-	-	PTX spins around and shoots the current weapons on his arms. If one or both weapons are missing, he'll get new ones. Instead of shooting one unblockable missile, he'll shoot four (but you can block the missiles if completely full screen or standing directly in front of him). After it's done, he has to manually reload all weapons.
Tactical Caliber 623XX	1+31	-	-	-	-	Overhead	PTX pulls out a chainsaw and swings it around. First hit is overhead.
L-P Buster 421XX	1+27	-	-	-	-	-	Invincible until he stops dashing, PTX powers up and slices you up. After it's done, you can follow up with 2C.
