GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat/APEX-Mechagodzilla

NOTE: This page is under heavy reconstruction.
Mechagodzilla-NEO is a playable character in GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat. It is based on the Monsterverse Mechagodzilla from Godzilla vs. Kong(2021), making it the newest playable character in the cast.
==BACKSTORY==
After King Ghidorah's release from Antarctica and subsequent death at the jaws of Godzilla, monster attacks seemed to slow to a crawl...until five years later. Spearheaded by the son of he who sacrificed himself to save Godzilla in the battle against Ghidorah, a third Mechagodzilla was created completely secretively. Using a severed chunk or two of Ghidorah's brains, the robotic titan was developed by Apex, a shady, secretive company unofficially part of the Global Defense Force, in the hopes of exterminating all kaiju to make humanity the dominant species once more, starting with Godzilla and King Kong. Though the two together shut it down, those who survived the mass conflict salvaged what they could and rebuilt this Mechagodzilla again and again. But sometimes, perhaps the psionic power of Ghidorah calls and takes the reins off himself...
==GAMEPLAY==
Contrary to other Mechagodzillas, Mechagodzilla-NEO is extremely melee-oriented. That's not to say its weapons are ineffective, but among all of them they're the weakest. It makes up for this, however, with incredible physical stats, both in terms of inflicting and taking damage. It's also a fair deal faster than most other Mechagodzillas, so a good amount of mixup can be offered with this devastatingly powerful foe. However, it does come with a drawback that shackles it for a good while, but once the gloves come off all one can do is pray.
==HOW TO UNLOCK==
Mechagodzilla-NEO can be unlocked, but the process might make it one of the last. First, all other Mechagodzillas, all other Global Defense Force units, Scylla, Behemoth, King Kong, King Ghidorah, and the M.U.T.O.s must all be unlocked. Then, using either Godzilla or King Kong, play "Insurrection" in New York. Destroy three red crystals randomly assorted around the city, then with the aid of Mothra, defeat the enemy M.U.T.O. duo, Kamacuras, Gigan, and King Ghidorah.
Mechagodzilla-NEO must then be defeated in the corrupted night version of Hong Kong.
==ELEMENT MATCHUP==
*Weak vs.: Explosive
*Resists: Edged, Alien Energy, Concussive, Electricity, Freezing, Heat
==MOVESET==
*Mechagodzilla-NEO can hover; however, it gradually drains Energy.
*At the start of battle, Mechagodzilla-NEO is completely immobile for four seconds while it powers up. Once it does, it moves at only 50% the normal speed, it starts with no Energy, and its Energy regenerates at a severely reduced rate. However, over time its speed and Energy regeneration gradually speed up until after 30 seconds, it moves at normal speed and has greatly increased Energy, although not quite as fast as other monsters.
Input 	Name 	Description
B/B/◯ 	Rigid Flail 	Mechagodzilla-NEO swings in a large arc with one hand.
B/B/◯ + Up 	Grabdozer 	Mechagodzilla-NEO lashes out with one hand, attempting to grab a foe. If it hits, it will throw them down to the ground and literally drag them along before throwing.
B/B/◯ + Down 	Spiral Punch 	Spinning it rapidly like a drill, Mechagodzilla-NEO punches out with one hand, claws at the ready.
B/B/◯ + Left/Right 	Crush Claw 	Mechagodzilla-NEO steps back and lunges forwards, snapping repeatedly with its giant crane claw hands.
Y/Y/△ 	Usurper Upheaval 	The ultimate destroyer swings its foot upwards before reeling back and making a bigger kick. Launches foes into the air slightly with the first hit, leading right into the next.
Y/Y/△ + Up 	Hover Charge 	Using its jets, Mechagodzilla-NEO lifts off the ground slightly and lunges forwards, feet extended and charged with plasma energy.
Y/Y/△ + Down 	Rubble Stomp 	Mechagodzilla-NEO slams a foot down in an attack that has little range, but if it hits an already downed opponent the game will temporarily freeze as a sickening crack is heard. The unlucky victim will be immobilized and open for severe punishment.
Y/Y/△ + Left/Right 	Sideswipe 	Firing up its jets, Mechagodzilla-NEO lunges to the left or right, depending on which direction was inputted, before swinging a mammoth foot parallel to the ground. Knocks foes off their feet and trips them to the ground.
B + Y/B + Y/◯ + △ 	Demise Drill 	For as long as the buttons are held, Mechagodzilla-NEO takes a step to the side and lashes out with its tail, drilling with the spikes, gradually increasing in power, speed, and Energy consumption.
B + Y/B + Y/◯ + △ + Up 	Plasma Slugger 	Mechagodzilla-NEO winds up and throws a slow, powerful punch infused with plasma energy. Upon hitting a foe, the foe will briefly levitate in place from the severe shock before abruptly being flung away.
B + Y/B + Y/◯ + △ + Down 	Cut Down to Size 	Mechagodzilla-NEO makes a full rotation, sweeping with its tail. Does more damage if Mechagodzilla-NEO is losing.
B + Y/B + Y/◯ + △ + Left/Right 	Merciless Pike 	Mechagodzilla-NEO lashes out with its tail quickly, impaling a foe on the spikes. Interestingly, the foe will be completely immobilized and left stuck on Mechagodzilla's tail; this makes all its tail attacks slower, but increases their damage massively. The foe will be immobilized until they mash out or enough time has passed, usually around ten seconds.
ZL/Left trigger button/R1 	Shoulder Salvo 	Mechagodzilla-NEO unleashes eight homing missiles, one after the other, from its shoulders. The missiles fly straight ahead for a while before they start homing in on foes, giving ample time to shoot them down.
ZR/Right trigger button/R2 	Plasma Fusion Fire	Exploding with plasma energy, Mechagodzilla-NEO emits a nuclear pulse-like detonation in every direction, sending everything in the vicinity flying.
ZL and ZR/Both trigger buttons/R1 and R2 	Proton Scream 	Mechagodzilla-NEO unleashes its devastating energy beam. This beam can actually pierce through obstacles and monsters alike, only being stopped by the ground, though with every object pierced the beam becomes weaker.
While grabbing foe, B/Y/X/B/Y/X/◯/△/☐ 	Crane Drop 	With its opponent held tight, Mechagodzilla-NEO leaps up and mockingly drops them, before picking them up and slamming them down again, like a crane game.
While grabbing foe, B/Y/X/B/Y/X/◯/△/☐ + Up, Left, Right, or Down 	Infinite Drill 	The metallic monster glares down at its foe and holds its tail at the ready. It starts to drill and spin, closing in and shredding the foe's flesh.
B + Y + ZL/ZR/B + Y + One or two trigger buttons/◯ + △ + R1 or R2	Psion Pulse 	Mechagodzilla-NEO unleashes a powerful psionic blast to everything in a large radius. All who are afflicted are stunned for a long period of time.
Rage attack 	Possession 	The pull of King Ghidorah overwhelms Mechagodzilla-NEO, who rapidly flashes red and blue in an almost epileptic display. Then, turning golden, it unleashes an extremely powerful Proton Scream that does not weaken with penetration for ten consecutive seconds. It should be noted the attack does dual-typed Alien Energy and Electricity damage, and if a monster is weak to at least one it will do double damage(even if they are immune or healed by the other). Meanwhile it emits a painful psionic field that does small Concussive damage in a decent radius.
