Biography[]
Markman is an inventor, and a huge fan of professional Divekicking. While watching his favorite fighters throw down over the years, he has perfected a device that gives its holder more precise control over their kicks, aptly naming it "Kickbox". Markman is on a marketing quest and wants to win this year’s competition using the Kickbox to show the world that they should buy his product.
Appearance[]
Markman is relatively muscular. He has pointy black hair and a stubbly beard. He wears grey pants and a black T-Shirt with the Mad Catz logo on it, and has black and red sneakers.
Gameplay[]
Moves[]
- Unique trait: Kickbox. Using his ground special, Markman can assemble the Kickbox. Once it's active, he enters Precision Mode and gets access to a unique special. While in Precision Mode, the Kickbox indicator becomes a second meter that slowly ticks down.
- Divekick: Markman kicks at a 55° angle.
- Electric Wind God Foot: By pressing
at the very apex of a jump, the Kick will be charged by lightning and travel much faster.
- Electric Wind God Foot: By pressing
- Backdash: By pressing
right as Markman is landing, he'll perform a backdash.
- Ground special (normal): Search. Markman searches the ground for Kickbox parts (casing, yellow button, blue button). He'll throw any junk on the ground. Only one piece of junk can be in the arena at a time, and each has a different effect:
- Gas: Coming in contact with it rapidly drains the character's Kick Meter.
- Oil: Causes characters to slide.
- Spring: Makes anyone stepping on it bounce.
- Glue: Momentarily holds characters in place.
- Black Hole: Characters stepping on it keep falling in a loop until they kick out.
- Air special (normal): Feint. Markman performs a hop backwards in the air.
- Air/Ground special (Kickbox): Up Kick. Markman performs an upwards kick. Can be used during a regular Kick and vice versa, which costs some extra precision meter.
Stats[]
- Kicks to Ground Special: 0
- Kicks to Air Special: 7
