Backstory

She has no lore!

Gameplay

If gun doesn't work, use more gun. Violet is a character that revolves around her bullets and how she uses them. With bullets, Violet has access to scary screen movement that can easily propel her across the screen in a second, great damage with her 236B, and overall tons of utility with bullets. j.2C is a great move in Violet's kit, being an overhead, a fatal counter, -3 at worst (on IB!) and helps out with Violet's movement game a fair amount.

However, all this comes with needing to manage bullets, Violet's main resource. If you don't manage your bullets, Violet will go into a state where she is unable to use any move that uses bullets, and if the opponent attacks you during this time, you are almost guaranteed to lose. Along with this, Violet has barely anything in terms of defense, not a good button to mash or a reversal/counter super. She can easily explode against players that quickly put her into disadvantage.

If you want a character that is aggressively rushdown flavored with a hint of careful resource management, Violet will fill that niche for you.

Playstyle

Violet is a close-ranged high mobility fighter with great movement and damage, provided that you can manage your resources well.

Great Mobility. - 6C, j.5B and j.2C cover a lot of ground and can be whiff canceled at any point. Having an air Throw Super. - Many characters lack the ability to throw an airborne opponent. Violet has access to a metered air throw that can either lead into a combo or a big knockdown to allow her to reload. High Damage. - Violet has access to incredibly damaging fatal counters, coupled extremely damaging combos if the player is willing to spend ammunition. Overwhelming Pressure - PLACEHOLDER

A heavy reliance on bullets. - Most of what makes Violet good goes away without her bullets, making it a struggle for her to survive without reloading. This means that she has to sometimes sacrifice damage to replenish her gauntlets. No reversal/counter super. - None of her moves have any invincibility on startup, and she has no move that acts like a counter. This means that for defense, violet has to rely only on the universal defensive mechanics of the game. Violet has to work hard and play well to get out of being pressured. Very fixed movement. - Violet's fast movement options are unable to be controlled by how far they go leading to a predictable approach The color Pink.

To-do

Basic stuff like the landing page and navbox is in, along with some system pages. System page is complete.

Clean up and finish the rest of the character pages. Every page needs to be updated to account for changes in updates 2.0 to 2.4. Create netplay page. Update FAQ Add patch-notes from 2.1 to 2.4. Finish adding frame data to every page, and begin adding hit-boxes to every page. Glitch is currently the gold standard in the gameplay section, hitboxes aside. (Avoid doing Violet's at all costs however!) When Adding Hitboxes: Only take images from Fighter Factory. This is to keep the look of the hitboxes clean! Ensure that this chart is updated over time.
