Psycho-Man

The potency of Psycho-Man’s Concussions are reduced by 25% flat for each unique Buff on the Opponent, up to 3. This cannot reduce them below 0%. The potency of Psycho-Man’s Concussions are increased by 75% flat against Mutants. Combat Power Rate is decreased by 10%. Dev Notes: Psycho-Man makes up for this decrease in Combat Power Rate with other Power Gain abilities further in his kit.

Psycho-Man carries a Control Box with 3 modes: Hate, Fear, and Doubt, flooding his Opponent’s mind with the selected emotion at all times. The Control Box starts in Hate mode. While fighting as an Attacker, Psycho-Man cycles to the next mode whenever his Fourth Light Attack lands a hit or it strikes into a block. While fighting as a Defender, Psycho-Man cycles to the next mode when the Opponent fills a Bar of Power. If the Bar was filled during Psycho-Man’s Special Attacks, it cycles after the attack is finished. Psycho-Man’s abilities change depending on the current Control Box Mode. Hate: Opponents fight more aggressively, and suffer Passive Concussion during Heavy Charge and Heavy Attack, reducing Ability Accuracy by -75%. Fear: Opponents are 70% more likely to use a Special Attack, and suffer Passive Concussion during Special Attacks, reducing Ability Accuracy by -75%. Doubt: Opponents fight more defensively, are 70% less likely to use a Special Attack, and suffer Passive Concussion while Blocking, reducing Ability Accuracy by -25%. Hate: Striking the Opponent while they are executing or recovering from a Heavy Charge or Heavy Attack grants Psycho-Man 18% of a Bar of Power. Fear: Striking the Opponent while they are recovering from a Special Attack grants Psycho-Man 25% of a Bar of Power. Doubt: Striking the Opponent while they are Blocking grants Psycho-Man 8% of a Bar of Power. Opponent activates a Special Attack Psycho-Man’s mechanical exoskeleton causes his Opponents to suffer Critical Rating during their Special Attacks. Dev Notes: Psycho-Man makes it difficult for Special Attacks to land Critical Hits against him, regardless of what mode he’s in.

Whenever an Opponent’s Ability fails to trigger while they’re suffering from one of Psycho-Man’s Concussions, they are inflicted with a Heal Block Debuff for 3.5 - 9.51 second(s). If they are already Heal Blocked, and have been so for at least 0.5 second(s), they are Power Locked for 1 - 6 second(s) instead. Whenever the Opponent Heals while Heal Blocked, or gains Power while Power Locked, Psycho-Man gains 5 - 25.01% of a Bar of Power, scaling up or down with how much Health or Power they would have gained.
