Introduction

Insert character introduction here.

• Force of Calamity: Wonder of U is protected from Normal Throws, and some of its moves are enhanced the lower its Health becomes.
• Step Dash: In place of a run, Wonder of U possesses a step dash that cannot be cancelled.

Playstyle

Wonder of U is a Stand character who manipulates the calamity to keep the opponent away.
Pros	Cons
Good Defense: Alongside having a counter, Wonder of U has the passive ability to tech any throws attempted by the opponent at the cost of White Damage. Comeback Factor: With Calamity Levels increasing WoU's damage and properties for its specials, they'll naturally become stronger the closer it is to losing the game.	Low Health: Wonder of U has amongst the lowest health in the game, making it more susceptible to high damaging combos.

Force of Calamity

• 
• 
• 

When Wonder of U's Health falls below certain thresholds, a bell will be heard, signifying the Calamity Level (visible above the HH Gauge) has increased. As the Calamity Level increases, Wonder of U's Special Moves, HHA, and GHA gain increased damage, with the former also gaining additional properties.

Wonder of U starts every round with Calamity Level 1, becomes stronger upon reaching Calamity Level 2 (achieved upon losing 30% of its total Health), and exhibits its maximum effectiveness at Calamity Level 3 (achieved upon losing 60% of its total Health). Calamity Levels gained will not be reversed should Wonder of U heal beyond their threshold (via White Damage, for example).

As a passive effect from this ability, Wonder of U will automatically escape universal Throws under any circumstance, at the cost of taking the Throw's damage as White Damage.

Light LV1: 70 (30, 40) LV2: 80 (30, 50) LV3: 90 (30, 60) Mid 24 - - -6 -4 Medium LV1: 70 (30, 40) LV2: 80 (30, 50) LV3: 90 (30, 60) Mid 24 - - -6 -4 Heavy LV1: 70 (30, 40) LV2: 80 (30, 50) LV3: 90 (30, 60) Mid 24 - - -6 -4 Shards LV1: 40 LV2: 50 LV3: 60 Mid - - - - - Wonder of U tosses a set of test tubes. The version used determines how far Wonder of U will toss the test tubes. The LV3 version causes crumple on the second hit. Despite being considered a projectile, it cannot be reflected. The test tubes will remain active even if Wonder of U is hit. If the test tubes clash against another projectile, their shards can hit opponents close enough to Wonder of U. If the test tubes do not hit the opponent, their broken remains will stay on the ground for 5 seconds, acting as a trap. However, the shards will not manifest if the test tubes are destroyed off-screen. For the LV3 version, the shards cause crumple on hit. L version: Tosses the test tubes about a character away. M version: Tosses the test tubes about two characters away. H version: Tosses the test tubes about 1/3 of the screen.

214X

Something's coming in! 214L/M/H Start Start LV1 LV1 LV2 LV2 LV3 LV3

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. Light LV1: 60 LV2: 75 (15*5) LV3: 90 Mid 44 - - - - Medium LV1: 60 LV2: 75 (15*5) LV3: 90 Mid 70 - - - - Heavy - - - - Total XX - - Wonder of U summons an object from the sky that falls onto the opponent. The version used affects the object's time of descent. The object's descent angle is decided at the end of the move's startup, ensuring the move reaches fullscreen. Despite being considered a projectile, the object cannot be deflected. The object dropped and its properties change with each Calamity Level: LV1 version summons a bunch of leaves, which do not possess noteworthy properties. LV2 version summons a larger bunch of leaves, which has a larger hitbox and hits multiple times. LV3 version summons a piece of steel rebar, which has an even larger hitbox and causes a groundbounce on hit. L version: Wonder of U summons the object immediately. M version: Wonder of U delays the summon. H version: Wonder of U feints the summon, only doing the first part of the animation. Wonder of U can interrupt the animation with normals from frame 21 onwards.

421X

You... attacked me? Me... How... 421L/M/H

Version Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. Light LV1: 60 LV2: 70 LV3: 80 - - - - - - Medium LV1: 60 LV2: 70 LV3: 80 - - - - - - Heavy LV1: 60 LV2: 70 LV3: 80 - - - - - - Wonder of U braces itself. If struck, it leaps backwards, with the handle of its cane coming off to hit the opponent. The move's startup changes depending on the version used, inversely affecting recovery. Properties on a successful activation depend on the current Calamity Level: LV1 version launches the opponent away. LV2 version launches and causes a hard knockdown. LV3 version causes crumple. Safer than most other Counters due to the Force of Calamity passive, but still loses to Assists, HHAs and GHAs. Can be triggered by projectiles. If successfully activated by one, the retaliation acts as an unreflectable projectile that lightly tracks the opponent, has very high priority, is allowed to score a Counter Hit, and deals extreme Guard Damage (which increases with each Calamity Level, instantly causing a Guard Break at LV3). L version: Fastest version with the most recovery. M version: Balanced speed and recovery. H version: Slowest version with the least recovery.

The point Wonder of U reappears in depends on the version used. All versions teleport a slightly shorter distance when used in the air. The direction Wonder of U teleports towards depends on which way it is facing, not on which side it is on. L version: Teleports in front of the opponent. M version: Teleports backwards (about 2 characters away). H version: Teleports backwards (about 1/3 of the screen).

Heart Heat Attack

The rain! It's coming down hard! 236 + Any Two Attack Buttons "It's best to prioritize safety." "It's best to prioritize safety."

Damage Guard Startup Active Recovery Block Adv. Hit Adv. LV1: 153 (10*14, 13) LV2: 181 (12*14, 13) LV3: 210 (14*15) Mid - - - - - Wonder of U walks away from the opponent as acid rain starts to pour. Very long startup, but compensates by hitting the entire stage. Deals a very large amount of Chip Damage and Guard Damage. Can hit OTG, and is capable of relaunching downed opponents. Oddly, it is not affected by OTG Damage Scaling penalties.

Great Heat Attack

Calamity is coming. 236L+M+H "You can't touch me." "You can't touch me." "Calamity is not a force for good." "Calamity is not a force for good." "Nor does it care about evil." "Nor does it care about evil."

Should the opponent try to attack it, they will be subjected to various calamitous events, culminating with an airplane's door crashing upon them at full speed. Counter, and the third most damaging GHA (and move in general) in the game. Safer than other Counter GHAs due to the Force of Calamity passive, but still loses to projectiles and Assists.
