Universal Mechanics

Instinct

Pyromania: Can activate in air. Cinder is permanently Fired Up while Instinct lasts.

Combat Traits

Fired Up: After 8 seconds, the fire on Cinder's body shines brighter, and his next special will be powered up.

Burnout Enders: Fission and Inferno enders cause Potential Damage to build on the opponent's life bar for a short period of time. This period is extended if the opponent uses punches (Fission) or kicks (Inferno).

Cinder throws a great big bomb. Uniquely, the buttons you press change the properties of this shadow move. LP+MP sends the bomb full-screen. LP+HP sends the bomb mid-screen. MP+HP sends the bomb in a high arc close to Cinder.

Cinder performs an increasingly elaborate string of attacks before kicking the opponent away. Mediocre damage for an ender of its type, but if they're still burning up while it's happening, the damage jumps up considerably.

Where would a juggle character be without their shadow juggle cashout?
