s/a/r is startup / active / recovery. blk and hit are frame advantage in frames. reach is world units from this fighter's own origin; a move needs 0.84 to work at point blank, where two origins sit 1.24 apart.

Specials

SIGNAL LANCE — 236+A. A lance of green signal-light at 0.30 a frame for 60 frames — 18 units, longer than the stage. It crosses the WHOLE screen, and it gets there almost three times faster than Mag's.

LANTERNFALL — 623+A. The lantern comes down on an arc OVER his head — the box starts behind him and ends 1.41 in front, so it covers a cross-up as well as a jump-in. It is an OVERHEAD: crouch-blocking it does nothing. -16 if you stand up and take it.

LAST TRAIN — [4]6+A. He simply walks through you: 3.8 units of advance with TWO hits of armour for the first 24 frames, so the poke you throw at it does not stop it. 16f startup is the tell, and -9 is the bill if you block it.

END OF LINE — 236236+HEAVY. The lantern goes out. 420 damage across 2.24 units of reach, invulnerable for twelve frames. If you are on the screen, you are in it.

On the select screen

The Warden — TERMINUS, ELEVEN YEARS

Station warden of the terminus, in a greatcoat down to the rail and a signal lantern swinging on a chain from his left hand. He never hurries and never speaks above conversational volume. His reach is not something you out-poke. It is something you solve.
