It is time for the in-depth Ms. Steele character page. This includes backstory, design, all of her attacks, extra cosmetics, and all else I could think of. (Sorry it's a little late, whoops...)
Ms. Steele Doc
If you are struggling with any terms, feel free to ask in the ask box, or consult the FGC Glossary.
This Doc uses Numpad Notation. Further explanation below.
Numpad notation is a system for writing the inputs used in fighting games in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, and language agnostic way. This notation uses umbers in place of directions, according to their position on a keyboard's numpad. Numpad notation always assumes that the player character is facing the right side of the screen. Pictured below is each of the directions in numpad notation, represented by arrows on a gamepad's directional buttons, next to a full-size keyboard's numpad.
This is a simplified moveset for BotB's third character, Ms. Steele. An in depth moveset will be out this Sunday! (Several things stated in this post are simplified for ease of access. Hence the in depth explanation later on.)
Fighter Ability
Every fighter has a unique ability that alters their playstyle and moveset slightly.
Orbital Float Disk is Ms. Steele's ability. During fights, Steele rides around on a disc of advanced technology. She uses this to move around in the air and can use it to float in place for set amounts of time. This allows her to mixup her aerial movement.
Specials
- Neutral Special: Drone Strike
Ms. Steele opens her control pad and activates one of her hand drones, causing it to launch forwards as a long distance projectile. The special button can be held down to charge the drone up to make it travel faster and have higher damage, hitstun, and blockstun.
- Side Special: Hazardous Beam
Ms. Steele opens a welding laser she has mounted to her back. It charges for a split frame, then fires out a thin, powerful beam. The projectile is fast, allowing it to reach far off fighters very quickly. You can angle the side special slightly up or down to aim where the laser shoots.
- Up Special: Rocket Burst
The Orbital Float Disk charges up energy, then shoots a high power blast of power beneath her, launching her upwards. The downwards burst of energy is a powerful attack with high damage and downwards knockback.
- Down Special: Emergency Barrier
Her hand drones move out in front of her, pushing all of their fingers together, charging energy, and then creating a screen energy in front of Ms. Steele. It acts as a momentary barrier that can negate attacks for a very short time, but leaves her vulnerable afterwards.
Motion Moves
Motion Inputs are a set of secondary specials not specifically tied to the Special button. They instead are activated by doing a certain motion+Normal or Special.
- Upper Hand
Ms. Steele flicks her hand up. One of her drones will launch strait upwards. It acts as a projectile that hits multiple times, pushing fighters upwards as it moves. After traveling a certain height it will create a small burst of energy that launches fighters away. It then flies back to Steele.
- Rapid Deployment
All of her drones pull back behind her, revving up. She advances forwards on her float disk. While hovering forwards her drones all rapidly punch forwards as well in a large flurry of fists. This rapid series of punches act as an advancing multi-hitting attack.
Super Special Moves
These are unique moves that cost Super Meter. Each character will have a Level 1, 2, and 3 super. The Level 1 costs 25% of a full meter, Level 2 costs 50% meter, and the level 3 costs the entire meter.
- Level 1: Tricky Rocket Burst
Steele's float disk begins to charge up power for a moment as it starts to float in place. As it charges, Steele lifts her foot up. She stomps against the back of her hover disk, making it go off balance and flip sideways, with Ms. Steele keeping her foot pressed into it and her hand hanging onto it. As it goes sideways it fires off a huge blast of energy, launching fighters back and pushing Ms. Steele back.
- Level 2: Beta Pr. #76
Ms. Steele pulls out a strange contraption and throws it in front of her. It will expand and turn into a vertical circle of energy that floats forward as a multi-hitting projectile that moves relatively slowly.
- Level 3: Super Siphon
A cinematic plays of Ms. Steel typing a quickly calls down two large, chunky machines. A metal spike is stabbed into the ground. The stadium lights flicker as the two large machines shake and vibrate, sucking up energy and beginning to glow.
Ms. Steele then points forwards with a grin and a flash goes off as huge beams of energy fire out of the vent-like pieces, acting as a high damage full screen projectile.
(That is all! I hoped you enjoyed it. If you are looking for more in-depth info, look for the post coming this Sunday at 8 pm)
A cold and stern woman, Ms. Steele is a genius engineer who works for an unrivaled tech company. As someone born with with dwarfism, Ms. Steele has always wanted to create technology that would make disabled people's lives easier.
Having found the beginning of some shady paper trails related to her work and the C.U.R.G.E. Tournament, she figured she would investigate in secrecy. She has hired some help for her investigation and has joined the tournament with them to get a closer look. She wields a set of drones and hover tech in order to make up for her poor physical power.
We have no artwork of Ms. Steel yet, nor any good representation of what I envision her too look like. If you know of any artist's who specialize or have practice in drawing characters with dwarfism, letting me know would be greatly appreciated.
Ms. Steele is a mixed zoner, using her drones to control space and box out opponents. With access to unique aerial movement due to her hover-disk, she is able to play evasively in neutral.
