Introduction

Insert character introduction here.

• EX Moves: For the cost of 0.5 bars, Caesar can perform enhanced versions of his special moves. These enhanced moves cause Hamon Damage against Stone Mask characters, making these moves deal extra damage against them.
• Seated Leap: Caesar has access to a Super Jump ability that can be cancelled into from normals on both hit and block, giving him solid combo extensions and allowing for some situational mixups.
• Aerial Chain Beat: Caesar can chain his aerial attacks, allowing him to have different combos and confirms.
• Setplay: Thanks to his "Bubble Lenses" and their delayed activation, Caesar can enable okizeme through repeated knockdowns and ambiguous cross-ups.

Playstyle

Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli is a Hamon character who thrives off of setplay and mixups.
Pros	Cons
Good Space Control: Caesar has access to several projectiles such as "Bubble Cutter", "Bubble Launcher (Air)", and "Bubble Lenses", meaning the opponent has to take risks to approach. Good Setplay: From any hit during a "Bubble Lenses" setup, Caesar can end the combo and return into an identical setup. Knockdowns: Caesar can score a knockdown from any hit, as his 2H will cause a hard knockdown even against airborne opponents.	Terrible Damage: Caesar cannot crack 200+ damage without meter, and is probably the least meter efficient character in the game, damage-wise. Stubby Buttons: Short normals with poor conversions make it hard for him to be the aggressor in neutral and bait Throws.
