Description
The children of the beast below are known simply as Carcossant. Their motivations are mysterious, but their ferocity is matched only by their submission to the hunger of their god.

A special collab between fellow TGP member Mcducky and I for the Unorthodox Workshop Jam hosted by Zetta on EXW. Please let us know what you think!



Summary:
Carcossant is a very momentum based fighter. They use a quick and overwhelming dagger based moveset to take down the enemy before the parasite devours them. Though their death is imminent, while under the embrace of the parasite they are awarded immense power, speed, and unique functionalities. These are granted in 3 levels that unlock over time, or temporarily after taking an enemy stock. At the end of level 3, all Carcossants perish, succumbing to the hunger of the parasite.

Level 1 - No access to strongs. The weakest form of Carcossant.
Level 2 - Gain strongs.
Level 3 - A large speed boost and special move upgrades.
Level 4 - death :)

Specials:
Nspecial - The Burning Blade
The burning blade is a unique projectile, recalling to Carcossant on an additional press or after hitting the opponent. At level 3 you teleport to the blade while it is out on button press after recalling it, or if it hits!

Fspecial - Parasite Hammer
Using their parasitic enhancements, this is a fast movement tool with heavy killing power. You can angle this upwards or downwards. The sweetspot spikes! At level 3 you can hold down special to teleport to a deployed burning blade.

Uspecial - Parasite Cutter
A frantic blade based recovery that spins Carcossant like a whirlwind. This special has both a grounded and aerial version. At level 3 you can hold down special to teleport to a deployed burning blade.

Dspecial - Devourer
This grab move is one of the most important tools in your arsenal. During levels 1 or 2, this move grants you temporary access to the abilities in the next level, on top of being a powerful attack. At level 3 the move gains soft armor, and you will instead stave off the parasite's hunger as they feast on the enemy, temporarily giving you immunity from the parasite's embrace, and allowing you to continue your master's work.


Training Mode
While in training mode, you can press down and taunt to force parasite's embrace, killing Carcossant. If you press up and taunt, you will gain permanent access to level 3 until switched off.

im trying to add a lifesteal mechanic to my character, and i would like to know which script does that

@Laz
thats the intentional counterplay. its up to the Carcossant player to play aggressively. Dspecial temporarily leveling up their levels, as well as stalling meter when killing with Carcossant means that the playstyle is Snowball or nothing.
Laz 4 Apr, 2024 @ 3:24pm 
I think the character concept is fine. But since the meter does the work for the opponent, they could just time him out and win with no engagement.

@mrcthulhu

this may be a bug that occurs due to external factors. I reccomend unsubbing and resubbing just incase. Additionally, workshop is still in a messy state at the moment due to the base cast getting most of the bug fix attention recently.

Hello there. I'm not sure if this is an intentional part of the move, but I've encountered it a couple of times. Sometimes the character will have their up-special give no vertical height for the rest of the match. I'm not entirely sure how to cause it, but it seems to happen in games where I do the grounded version

@the magic toaster

ill look into it!

Howdy there your character is pretty neat but I have some feedback regarding him for you. There seems to have been a small over sight for when you use him in mirror matches where if both players do his normal special and they make contact with each other they continue to hit each other forever and never disappear even when you lose a stock or anything and completely locks you out of the move. Video would probably be better but heres a screenshot of it making contact. https://imgur.com/a/cj1cpMf

This character is pretty sick, and I love the idea of Link's normals being applied to a more aggressive character. Hoping that Carcossant gets recognized by the devs and added to the official Rivals cast, I feel like they're perfect for it.

This character is dope and I can tell the skill ceiling is high. I love it.
