Introduction

A kid finds a lighter in the grass and picks it up because he's gonna smoke cigs or something I dunno, turns out the lighter is a giant fridge that fights Mecha Godzilla.

Gameplay

Strengths	Weaknesses
Is a giant Can hit hard Gets good Baroque boost Has the ability to reflect projectiles Being slightly taller than PTX, juggles are a bit harder to pull off	Gets zoned out extremely easily Extremely slow Attacks are highly telegraphed Outrageous recovery on virtually every attack with tiny Baroque windows Slightly taller than PTX so he has a bigger hurtbox Pretty much the worst character in the game

Moves List

Normal Moves

Normal Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5A	8	3	24	-	1280	-	Pretty fast, can probably shove back PTX a bit or hit enemies trying to super jump away.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
2A	7	3	-	-	1200	-	When whiffed it has horrible recovery, but on hit or block it chains into itself. Really annoying poke, you could probably take entire matches just running up and doing 2A.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5B	18	-	-	-	3900	Overhead	Kicks and hits twice, really slow. To its credit, it's an overhead.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
6B	16	-	-	-	3900	Overhead/OTG	Lightan reaches over the entire screen and punches the ground. If you get a knockdown for any reason and have a nice reserve of BBQ you can cancel and use this to OTG and wipe out most of their health bar. Otherwise it's a really bad overhead.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
4B	16	-	-	-	8736	-	It's literally 5B but 2 frames faster + longer range and doesn't cancel into anything... but damage is good I guess.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
2B	19	-	-	-	1920	OTG	Lightan Punch. This move has MASSIVE pushback, making it hard to justify using, which is terrible because it's the only way to properly link into his launcher. 2B -> 5C -> 3C is the only way to confirm his launcher outside of a raw 5C.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
5C	18	-	-	-	3200	-	Lightan Kick. On hit it confirms to 3C.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
2C	22	-	-	-	3320	Low	Lightan Sweep. This is one of his few good normals; you can Gold Quake or BBQ 6B and turn the entire match around if it hits.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
3C	21	-	-	-	3360	Launcher	For all of Lightan's faults this is a pretty good launcher, and he has a real BnB to follow it with. If blocked, just Gold Press to safety. This move also has an insane hitbox, reaching up to max super jump height. Use it to stuff people trying to dash overhead. However, the hitbox is small so it may be easy to whiff this punish.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
j.A	9	11	-	-	920	Overhead	Jumping knee. It's active so that's something.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
j.B	11	7	-	-	1760	Overhead	Lightan reaches out and palms; really good air normal. Mandatory for his loop.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
j.C	14	8	50	-	4480	Overhead	Lightan Stomp. Recovery is abysmal, but it's a good overhead otherwise. Leads to Gold Crash if opponent is grounded, if airborne it'll have an extremely high chance of whiffing.

Special Moves

Special Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Tank Slice 41236X	13/17/22	-	-	-	6427/6967/7509	Projectile Reflect/Hard Knockdown	Lightan kneels down and slices the air. Reflects projectiles. B and C version cause hard knockdown. Can be used as a frame trap from 3C... sorta.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Battleship Breaker 63214A/B 63214C Snapback!	22/25/27	-	-	-	8656/9892/11167	Overhead/Wall Bounce/Snapback	Lightan jumps and kicks the air. A and B versions wall bounce, C version is a snapback. Good ender for his loop.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Gold Press 360C	19	-	-	-	12000	Command Throw	Lightan's other throw; you can still tech by doing a 360 and tapping C. Does great damage but the threat of teching is too high.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Gold Quake 22X	41/44/16	-	-	-	8120/9300/10280	Overhead/OTG/Low	Lightan stomps the ground. Full screen low, easy confirm for Gold Crash. Messes with background stage elements.

Super Moves

Super Moves

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Gold Kick 63214XX	11+18	-	-	-	16800	-	Invincible on startup. Lightan kicks the air, and if it connects he crushes them under his foot. Decent super, can be an ender for his loop. Hitbox is vertically tall so it can also work as an anti-air.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Gold Crash 41236XX	29+12	-	-	-	14240	Low	Gold Quake but super. Hits low but that doesn't really matter. Only way to reach Finger Crash. Usable in air.

Move	Startup	Active	Recovery	Block Adv	Damage (Billions)	Properties	Notes
Finger Crash Gold Crash -> 236XX	-	-	-	-	20800	-	After sucking their robot soul out, he tosses them on the ground. Decent damage adder and it's not like you're using the meter for anything else. To its credit it piggybacks off Gold Crash so you aren't spending four meters. Risk one bar and you can decide on hit if you want to spend the other two.
