Espio the Chameleon 1

---

-- General --
Espio is a versatile character whose abilities constantly flow with each other, allowing for a high skill ceiling. Espio's prime difference is that he spins like a top, instead a ball. Meaning you can't take paths that require you to go under a spin gap.

-- Stick Cling --
Espio's base ability from Knuckles' Chaotix. Hold Jump while near a wall to cling on to it. While clinging, you can run up, slide down, or shimmy side-to-side on the wall to reach places, just like Knuckles. However, you won't hang on to the wall for a lifetime. The less stamina you have, the slower you'll run, until you can no longer climb. You can also cling onto ceilings by holding Jump when you make contact with them!



-- Charge Jump --
Espio's primary ability when holding Jump in mid-air. The power of your jump is determined on how long you hold down Jump. Releasing the Jump button unleashes a double jump with the charged power added!


-- Spin Drill --
Stuck in a room where the Spindash and Non-Spindash paths split? Worry not, Because Espio can break bustable floors! Simply spindash on the breakable floor for a short period of time to break it!

-- Battlemod Abilities --

Invisibility: Turn completely invisible and sneak around to trick opponents! Don't go too fast though, or you'll be able to be seen!


Leaf Swirl: Espio's primary move from Sonic Heroes! Spawn a tornado covered in leaves, and knock away any opponents who are in the tornado!


Charge Thrust: While performing a Charge Jump, press Fire to shoot in any direction so pleased! It's great for evading, and for approaching!


-- SRB2Persona --
Espio's persona is Jiraiya, returning from Persona 4. Espio learns Wind, Psychic, and evasive skills to use in battle. However, Espio has pitifully low HP and defense. Any dangerous enemy encounter can easily result in dying, so it's wise to pick your battles carefully with Espio. Espio also has a unique normal attack, Stealth Strike, which has slightly higher critical rate and accuracy compared to the average normal attack.


During Tartarus exploration, Espio can use still use the Charge Jump to easily navigate around floors. He also has his wall run still as well! Although the wall run is only really useful for extending your jumps and saving yourself from the pits of Tartarus rather than gaining height.
