Introduction

Insert character introduction here.

• Life Regeneration: Part of the damage Wamuu receives is converted into silver, residual health, which he passively recovers over time.
• Modes: Wamuu has three different installs, all of which change the properties on his special moves.
• Step Dash: In place of a run, Wamuu possesses a step dash, which covers a longer distance than most dashes. This makes him one of two characters who lack the ability to run, the other being Johnny Joestar (while Dismounted).

Playstyle

Wamuu is a Mode character whose gameplan is centered around the neutral.

Modes

Wamuu has access to several installs in order to enhance his abilities.

• Wind Mode (Mode 1) is activated by pressing the Style button, and costs no meter. This Mode enhances Wamuu's special moves by increasing their damage and adding other properties, such as brief invisibilty (which brings immunity against most projectiles). This Mode also shortens Wamuu's jump arc in addition to making said jump faster.
• Vapor Barrier (Mode 2) is activated by pressing 22S, and costs one bar. This Mode further enhances Wamuu's special moves, in addition to making Wamuu invisible and immune to most projectiles. Wamuu's jump is at its fastest (and his jump arc at its shortest) in this Mode.
• I shall see with the wind. (Mode 3) is Wamuu's final install, and is activated by pressing 63214+two attack buttons. For the cost of two bars, Wamuu enhances his special moves the most, gains access to "Whooosh!", and can deal chip damage with his normals. Unlike the previous modes, Wamuu's jump is not altered in any way.

The following moves are affected by all Modes:

• Raging Tornado Aftermath!
• Never stand in my shadow!
• He bent backwards!
• I, Wamuu, will now consider you to be worthy prey!
• Victim of your own delusion

The tradeoff for using Mode is that while in "Wind Mode" and "Vapor Barrier", Wamuu is unable to build any meter until he either turns off Mode (by pressing Style again, only in Mode 1), uses an HHA or GHA, or is forcefully knocked out of the install by taking a hard knockdown. Additionally, activating "I shall see with the wind." locks Wamuu out of his other two installs for the rest of the match, each of which have their own advantages.
