Introduction

Insert Intro Here.

• Mounted: While on his horse Diego cannot be downed by a sweep, be thrown, or be crumpled, but also loses access to Stylish Guard, Stylish Evade, and Throw.
• Holy Corpse Parts: Diego can pick up the Holy Corpse parts, gaining different blessings with each part obtained.
• Scary Monsters: Has an install that turns him into a dinosaur for a limited amount of time, drastically changing his kit and giving him unlimited armor.
• Aerial Chain Beat: Diego can chain his aerial attacks, allowing him to have different combos and confirms.

Playstyle

Diego Brando is a Mount character who utilizes his ABC
Pros	Cons
Pro 1: TBD Pro 2: TBD	Holy Corpse Reliant: Diego's Gouge does not knock down naturally and requires the use of Are you ready?! to cause knockdown. However, this is only available when Diego has at least one corpse part, meaning that knocking down the opponent without a corpse part can be very specific Bad HHA: Diego's HHA has a lot of recovery once it is finished and does not allow for him to create long combos while in the form, making it extremely risky to use in situations where it does not guarantee a victory

Scary Monsters

Diego's HHA tranforms him into a dinosaur for a period of time. While he is in this form, his moves are all different and he has an unlimited amount of armor. The form can allow for combo extensions and help him to win the neutral, but it has a large amount of recovery once the short timer runs out, making it a very risky option for what can end up being very little reward.

Holy Corpse

All of the Steel Ball Run characters have the Holy Corpse mechanic. This spawns three parts of the Holy Corpse over time for the Steel Ball Run characters to collect. Each piece collected provides a buff to the character that is active until the character loses it via being knocked down, which drops the most recent piece collected. For Diego, the buffs are applied as follows:

• One: Gains access to Are you ready?!
• Two: Increases the performance of skills
• Three: Increases the rate at which the HH gauge increases
