He's a merchant and a thief AND a treasure hunter? Can't he pick just one?
=========================
Bravery Attacks
Leg Sweep: [Ground] A low sweep to the legs of his opponent, interrupting current action.
Quote: "Whoops!"
Back-Wheel: [Ground] Tarot flips backwards, kicking his opponent into the air. Causes Chase sequence if it hits.
Quote: "Up ya get!"
Springboard: [Ground] Charges and jumps into the air to land on opponent. Hitting [O] just as Tarot hits the opponent will result in a second attack, This can be done up to four times.
Quote: [Initial attack] "Catch me!" [Subsequent attack] "One! Two! Three! PAIN!"
Elusive Roll: [Ground] A counter-move. Timed correctly, Tarot blocks opponent's attack and rolls behind the opponent. Can immediately be chained into any Bravery attack.
===============
EX Mode
"Time to get rich quick!"
Tarot's EX Mode is Treasure Hunt. During EX Mode, his base movement speed increases by 1.5 and the period of invulnerability during a dodge increases as well. In addition, he gains the ability Foresight, which allows him to chain not only his Bravery attacks after using Elusive Roll, but also his HP Attacks as well. Finally, he gains Extortion--every time an opponent loses Bravery, Tarot gains 25% Bravery of the amount the opponent lost. This includes if the opponent successfully lands an HP Attack.
EX Burst
"All that glitters...!" - Upon initiating EX Burst.
"They say money isn't everything!" - (Alternate) Upon initiating EX Burst.
Tarot's EX Burst is Gilded Cage. The player must press the OPPOSITE of the indicated directional arrow, as Tarot moves behind the opponent, planting a series of jeweled rods in a patter around them. If unsuccessful, the poles explode, sending the opponent into the air. If the player completes the sequence, Tarot places all of the rods and they flash, turning the opponent into a gold statue before he smashes them with his staff.
"Is most certainly gold!" - Upon successfully completely EX Burst.
"Well they're wrong! Haha!" - (Alternate) Upon successfully completely EX Burst.
