Pyros

Pyros is a HAR created by James Sweeney on June 5, 2076. Its special abilities are Fire Spin, Super Thrust Attack and Jet Swoop.

The colossal Pyros unit is used primarily for space station design. Normally, the unit is equipped with a huge array of tools necessary to keep deep-space machinery in working condition. It uses its various jet systems to move itself between various objects in space without needing a shuttle or external jet pack.

In combat, the Pyros is a formidable arsenal of flame. It can change the direction in the air, jump forwards and backwards while attacking, and can "swoop" down on an enemy with a powerful blow. Pyros does lack in the speed department, but the damage caused by its flame throwers more than makes up for its sluggish movement.

OverviewEdit

Don't be fooled by its Thrust Attack, Pyros is a defensive bot all the way. Its flames have godlike priority, b+P and jumpkick are passable anti-air moves, and Jet Swoop is a fast, virtually unpunishable combo starter when done right. However, aside from the Swoop and df+K, everything Pyros has starts and ends way too slowly to make Pyros competitive. Pyros can't even pull off decent air combos compared to the other robots, with an average throw and slow jabs, so it can't do much damage. All in all, there are better options both on offense and defense.
