Spy (butthataintindie)

The Spy is an unlockable character in The Fighting Game of Everything.
==Bio==
The Spy, true to his name, is a mysterious man, and we do not have much knowledge of him. An enigmatic rogue, armed with a butterfly knife, a revolver, his Disguise Kit and Cloaking Watch, and having all the charm to wrap it all up, there’s a chance you won’t notice him until it’s too late…

*If the Invisibility Cloak is on cooldown and not being used, rangers can easily target him
* A few hits and your Disguise is off

*BLU Team
*Classic Spy
*Spybot
* A Hat To Kill For + Chicago Overcoat
==Specials==
===Cloaking Watch===
The Spy uses his Cloaking Watch to go invisible, being immune to all attacks the opponent throws at him. The invisibility cloak has a time limit, however: after around 10 seconds of invisibility, the watch will run out of power. It slowly regenerates over 10 more seconds, unless the watch is used again: there is a bar below the Spy’s that shows how much time the watch can be used for. If it is the maximum (5 bars), then it can be used for 10 seconds: each bar gives you 2 seconds of time. You can stop the time limit only by exiting invisibility, so it is recommended to quickly sneak up on your opponent before it runs out. The cloaking watch does not allow you to use any move, as it will expose Spy’s location afterwards.
====Disguise Kit====
When the cloak runs out of full power, or if a button is pressed while the cloak is active, Spy will automatically change into a Disguise. This lasts indefinitely, until Spy loses at least 15 health, which is guaranteed to happen sooner or later. The Disguise Kit has the same cooldown as the Cloaking Watch, so this can be used. However, a major benefit is that the Spy can copy one of the opponent’s specials, with weaker effects. For example, the Spy can receive a Sandvich and heal a little by disguising as the Heavy, though it is only a one-time use and does not regenerate until the Disguise wears off. The disguise does not allow you to use any other move, as it will expose Spy’s location and remove the disguise afterwards. Therefore, it is important to time this move right, and use it only when it matters the most. 
===Sapper===
The Spy can use his sapper to stun opponents for a few seconds. With the opponent stunned, he can aim for a revolver shot or a backstab. However, it is easy for the opponent to dodge, and has a cooldown of 3 seconds. When fighting against the Engineer, the sappers have the ability to disable his sentries, which is described in better detail below in the “Vs. The Engineer” section.
===Revolver===
The Spy fires his revolver, dealing minor damage and pushback. This move has a 5 second cooldown, and works best at close range - it can lead to a combo which can end in a backstab.
===Knife===
The Spy assumes a fencing position, spins around his butterfly knife and uses it to stab, with two quick slashes and a thrust. When not done from behind, the attack only leaves small cuts and deals only minor damage and no pushback at all. However, if this is done from the back…
====Backstab====
Spy’s backstab is one of his deadliest moves. When sneaking up on an enemy, Spy can use his knife to backstab an enemy. If sweetspotted (which it usually is), a decent amount of health is taken out (a fourth of the health at most). With this move, it can easily result in your opponent being downed. However, a backstab gives the knife a cooldown of 10 seconds, to prevent it from being too powerful.
==X-Factor==
===Right Behind You…===
A variant of the normal Backstab. In this move, the lights on the stage are forcibly turned off as the opponent is confused and unable to move. The Spy slowly makes his way towards the opponent, making his way towards their back side. Once the Spy approaches, he delivers a faint “Right behind you.” and takes out a third of the opponent's near health, stunning them.
==Play objectives==
===As the Spy===
The Spy has an impressive toolkit of specials, but to compensate for that, he has low health on par with most rushdown characters. To play Spy, it is important to master his toolkit and use his specials only when needed. It is advised to cloak up first, then sneak on the enemy and sap them before leading into your combos.
====Vs. The Engineer====
The Spy has a very interesting matchup with the Engineer. His sappers are the main reason why this matchup is considered this, as they are one of the few specials that are able to disarm a sentry in one hit. However, to do this, he needs to approach his sentries, and since Engineer is considered to be a ranger, many of his sentries will mow him down. To fight against that, Spy must sneak up on the sentries using his Cloaking Watch and sap the sentries. Keep in note, however, that using a sapper removes his disguises.
===Fighting Spy===
The Spy is a mix-up character, meaning that it is hard to predict his moves. As a result, any fighter can work the same against Spy. It is important, however, to watch out for a cloaked Spy and wait until he has to put on his disguise. His low health makes him easy to take out once that hurdle is dealt with.
==Animations==
===Entrance===
The Spy decloaks from being invisible, as he cleans his suit and brushes blood off his butterfly knife, before he spins it around to point it at the enemy.
===Stance===
The Spy stands with his knife in his right hand and his revolver in his left. His legs are close together, with his feet separated. Occasionally, for his idle animation, he can be seen spinning around his butterfly knife.
===Taunts=== 
#The Spy flicks away his used cigarette and grabs a new one from his disguise kit.
#The Spy hides in a cardboard box. He can slowly move and sneak around, but is vulnerable to attacks. Once he tosses aside the box, it deals some damage and pushback.
#The Spy throws around some dollar bills.
#The Spy activates his crab-walking kit, grins, and begins to dance around like a crab.
===Victory===
The Spy brushes his suit, fixes his tie, and says his quote.
===Time-Up Loss===
The Spy cloaks back into being invisible as he leaves the arena.
