Introduction

Insert character introduction here.

• Tracking Projectile: "Flame Detector" is a slow moving projectile that homes in on the opponent regardless of their location.

Playstyle

Muhammad Avdol is a Stand character who utilizes his flames and setplay to scorch his opponents.
Pros	Cons
Effective Setplay: Avdol's greatest strength comes from his ability to keep his opponent pressured on oki. With tools like "Crossfire Hurricane Variation" and "Flame Detector", He's able to make opponents think twice about what option they'll choose when waking up. High Damage Output: Avdol has very solid damage output by himself, but paired with assists like Josuke (Part 4) or Kakyoin, he's able to consistently 2-touch opponents with ease. Solid Reversals: Possessing an invincible, meterless reversal while in Stand On ("I'll burn you to cinders!") along with both HHA and GHA, Avdol can turn the tides on the opponent if they aren't careful.	Subpar Normals: While he possesses some good normals in his kit, most of his buttons are pretty mediocre - lacking in either range or hitstun. Single Hit Projectiles: While only being a downside in certain match-ups, all of Avdol's projectiles consist of only 1 hit, meaning they'll will lose outright to other projectiles that are fired in clusters.

5M

5M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 21 Mid - - - - - Avdol punches upwards in a swinging motion. Has a hitbox that extends far upwards. Can be used as an anti-air, but a very risky one. One of his main juggle tools. Avoid using this in grounded strings and opt for 2M instead to save it for juggles.

5H

5H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 32 Mid - - - - - Avdol summons Magician's Red, who performs a slapping motion From over his shoulder. Standard Standing Heavy normal. Gets the job done.

2L

2L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 12 Low - - - - - Avdol attacks with a crouching slap forward. Same range as 5L, but with the ability to chain into itself. Mainly used in blockstrings to keep the opponent pressured.

2M

2M	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 21 Low - - - - - Avdol performs a downward chop. The only normal in his entire kit that moves him forward a slight amount, therefore making it one of the better ones. Best used in grounded strings to close in the space between opponents for heavies to hit, but also works fairly well in juggles too.

2H

2H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 31 Low - - - - - Avdol summons Magician's Red, who performs a sweeping kick. Large sweep. Causes hard knockdown.

JL

j.L	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 15 Overhead - - - - - Avdol attacks with the tip of his knee. Moderately active. The only aerial in his kit with cross-up capability, albeit a small one.

JM

j.M

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 23 Overhead - - - - - Avdol summons Magician's Red, who attacks with a kick. Phenomenal air-to-air. Unfortunately has as much hitstun as a light aerial, meaning the window to convert off it is very small. It's near impossible to convert off it with normals from mid to max range, although it is possible to connect an HHA if it hits the opponent very low from the ground.

JH

j.H	Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 34 Overhead - - - - - Avdol summons Magician's Red, who performs a backwards slap. Mediocre heavy jump-in, only good for damage.

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. Light Projectile: 35 Ankh: 65 - - - - - - Medium Projectile: 35 Ankh: 65 - - - - - - Heavy Projectile: 35 Ankh: 65 - - - - - - Avdol summons Magician's Red, who creates a flame in the shape of an Ankh and directs it towards the ground. Afterwards, a larger Ankh rises from the ground. The most defining tool in Avdol's entire kit. The large Ankh launches on hit. The spot where the large Ankh manifests in depends on the version of the move that was used. Avdol can delay the large Ankh for up to 3 seconds by holding down the button. The initial Ankh can hit opponents without dissapearing, although it will not combo into the large Ankh unless it hits right before it touches the ground. L version: The Ankh manifests close to Avdol. M version: The Ankh manifests short of halfscreen. H version: The Ankh manifests around halfscreen.

Heart Heat Attack

Give me four wishes instead! 236 + Any Two Attack Buttons

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 216 (36+30*2+24+96) Mid - - - - - Magician’s Red kicks forward. If it hits, it then binds the opponent, hitting them a few times and launching them with a small explosion from its hand. Very fast HHA with moderate invulnerability on startup, making it a solid reversal tool. Has really good minimal scaling after long combos, making it worth it to meter dump for extra damage. Leads into a hard knockdown at the end, which grants enough time to plant 22X or set up s.236X for oki.

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. 340 (40+8*30+60) Mid - - - - - Avdol summons Magician's Red to creates a ring of Ankh-shaped flames. If the flames hit the opponent, Avdol makes Magician's Red send a barrage of these flames towards them, finishing with a huge Ankh-shaped flame appearing out of the ground. Very fast GHA that works the best as a reversal option. Hits on both sides. If blocked, the hitbox will reset and become active again. Deals good damage for a GHA.
