Shenyan, The Drunken Pirate Steals the Update!
[h3]Today is a glorious day for Two Strikes![/h3]
The Eighth Character arrives in the game! Shenyan, the Druken Wokou!
Shenyan is an insane character, not gonna lie to you! Don't let his age of Death trick you into thinking he's a nice old man. He is here in purgatory for his insatiable blood lust focused on one thing only: Creating misery for Hozoin. You see, they are long long-time acquaintance, childhood friends. But now, any of this matters anymore. You have to wait for the Lore to be ready to know why, sorry.
[h3]Gameplay![/h3]
This drunken pirate has one of the fastest walk speeds and dashes in the entire game. He can get in and out like no other.
Shenyan has two attacks, pretty standard. His trickeries are not in different attacks, but using the ones he has to make everyone very uneasy.
Shenyan's weak attack is fast but has the shortest range in the game, although his strong attack is by far the longest-ranged attack in the game, even beating Hozoin's weak attack.
[h3]What is Unique About Him?[/h3]
Shenyan has unique interactions with his Strong Attack. After a start-up animation, he enters a state where he keeps spinning his rope until it is finally released for a powerful attack. During this state, he can:
By the power of drunkness, Shenyan can even break game rules, doing whatever he wants with his strong attack.
[h3]Balance Changes[/h3]
Thanks to the player @Green, that gave invaluable feedback, I decided to give some buffs to Miyo. He felt, just like me, that She was maybe too deep into deception and lacking a little in some practical uses of her dashes. So,
We are working in the lore and story mode, so soon you will have these things, but before that, enjoy Shenyan.

Shenyan has unique interactions with his Strong Attack. After a start-up animation, he enters a state where he keeps spinning his rope until it is finally released for a powerful attack. During this state, he can:
- Press again Strong Attack to cut it short and release it earlier.
- Press Weak Attack to use it in case an enemy comes too close.
- Dash forwards, to maybe use its Weak Attack.
- Or just dash backward, to start all over.
By the power of drunkness, Shenyan can even break game rules, doing whatever he wants with his strong attack.

Thanks to the player @Green, that gave invaluable feedback, I decided to give some buffs to Miyo. He felt, just like me, that She was maybe too deep into deception and lacking a little in some practical uses of her dashes. So,
- After the dash forward attack, her recovery has 5 frames less, making her less susceptible to counters.
- Her back dash now doesn't have the "attack preparation" animation, making it a lot more reliable to close up the distance.
