Ice Man

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

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

Main
Ice Slasher

Ice Slasher is Ice Man's only long range projectile, and a very good one at that. Upon hitting mainfire, Ice Man will send out Ice Slashers at a pretty decent rate, and they'll tear through anything they touch.

Alt
Ice Lance/Ice Block

When you altfire, Ice Man will shoot out a short ranged, long Ice Lance. If this makes contact with anyone, it will slow them down for a period of time. If it contacts the wall or floor, it will summon an Ice Block. It acts similar to Guts Man's Guts Block, but if you hit it with an Ice Slasher, it will explode into powdered snow, which will also slow anyone that happens to be nearby.

Reload
Icicle Rain

Upon hitting reload, Ice Man will send out another lance, but this time, It will summon some Icicle Rain. This will only activate upon contact with a ceiling, but it will summon a hailstorm of Icicles that will damage and slow anyone they touch.
