Battle Craze!!/Sherm/L-Side

Overview

Playstyle

L-Sherm is an all rounder shoto character who excels in mid to close range with powerful fireballs, high damage conversions, decent pokes, and an armored C-tech.
Pros	Cons
Damage and Combos: Has high level combos which have both high damage and good screen carry. Projectile Game: Has an extremely versatile projectile, helped by the fact he can do it while in the air. Focus Attack: C-tech is an armored, dash cancelable move. This gives L-Sherm tons of flexibility in pressure and neutral. Straightforward: Extremely easy to pick up with a toolkit of easy to understand tools.	Block Strings: Has many gaps in extended block strings/mixups and only one safe special which is unrewarding.

Statistics

Trait	"Lazarus’ Comeback Effect": After Sherm’s life drops below a certain point, his Craze Gauge will automatically fill up for the rest of the round.
Health	1000
Mobility	Dash
