Toroko Fighting All-Stars/Megalodo

Megalodo is a playable character in Toroko Fighting All-Stars.

Background
Megalodo is a scientist turned shark-man. Once interdimensional creatures appeard, he set out to research. However, upon finding a portal, Megalodo accidentally finds himself embroiled in a battle with Toroko's greatest.

Gameplay
Megalodo, overall, has pretty average stats. His basic mobility options are rather average, and so are his defenses. Although Megalodo's attack power is probably his weakest attribute, it isn't too extreme, and his great rushdown potential covers that. The simplicity ends here.

While Megalodo's basic options are crazy fast, his special grant him fantastic mobility and pressure. Fin Mixer, Rift Jump and Torpedo Shoot allow Megalodo to move around with ease, and are decently quick to boot. Additionally, Megalodo's dash is unique; it has him swim underground, invulnerable to all but his fin getting poked by OTG attacks. Megalodo can use this to cross under the opponent!

However, while Megalodo's health isn't a problem, his defensive game is. His only true reversal, Mega Breach, and is slow. Great White Maw, which can be used as an anti-air or a punish, are also quite slow in comparison to his other abilities. Finally, Megalodo's underground dash, unlike others, cannot be used indefinitely, and when cancelled into other abilities, a starter animation of Megalodo surfacing slows them down a bit.

During ToroTrigger, some of Megalodo's flaws are addressed, while his rushdown game gets a serious boost. Megalodo's dash can now be used without limit, and his backstep is replaced with a backwards version of this. ToroTrigger also enables use of an airdash in either direction. Torpedo Shoot gets an additional use, and Deluxe Great White Maw becomes available.

Moveset
walljump, airdash

Dev Notes
"I think a lot of the ZIN characters have cool moveset potential in general, so Megalodo likely wont be the last. Megalodo, though he seems like an average scientist dude (despite being a shark), I just saw him and thought 'Guilty Gear rushdown.' He's got a neat design and a sleek shark body after all. I hope his domination personality on the battlefield isn't unfitting."
