Search Man

Brief overview of the character. Try to "sell" the character.

Overview
General breakdowns of passive abilities, gimmicks, and their movement + health.

Main
You have to lock on first, (which isn't affected by gravity,) which is shown with a target cursor. When it touches someone, will them lock on to them. You can target up to 4 people, and the longer the target is on an opponent, the more missiles will be shot at them.

Alt
Search Disk is a disk which bounces off walls.

Item
Summons 3 bushes horizontally. If Search Man stands in these bushes, he will be hidden. Teammates can also hide in these. You can use this to set up cheeky hiding spots to home in on people discretely from.

Reload
Your reload is a high jump and if you press mainfire, you will shoot a barrage of missiles. Pressing altfire will shoot a faster Search Disk.
