Puddle Teleportation

Puddle Teleportation is 's up special move in Fraymakers.
== Overview ==
When performed, Orcane disappears and then immediately reappears at a puddle previously placed, causing the puddle to disappear. Opponents making contact with him as he reappears are dealt high damage and knockback, with an early sweet spot dealing 12 damage and a later sour spot dealing 10 damage. If used on the ground, a new puddle is created where the move is used, and he teleports in place if no previous puddle is present.
If used in midair with no puddle present, Orcane rises slightly and enters special fall. With a puddle present, this can also be performed by pressing the shield input before teleporting. When performed at the same time as a midair jump, Orcane rises upward significantly, which is known as "Orcahopping".
This move is Orcane's primary option for recovering, as having a previously placed puddle allows him to immediately return to the stage regardless of his location. Its quick startup lag and strong knockback also makes it a powerful KO move and combo finisher. However, due to the puddle's stationary nature, it can also easily be predicted and punished by opponents. Additionally, not having a puddle placed beforehand leaves Orcane with very poor vertical recovery options.
== Origin ==
This move is based on Orcane's Up Special in and one of his main elemental powers. Its function in said game is nearly identical to its function in Fraymakers, in which Orcane teleports to a puddle if available and launches opponents where he reappears. Outside of combat, it is also used in the game's Story Mode to infiltrate the Air Armada using an unguarded sink.
Prior to being used by Orcane, this technique was used in a very similar way by Vaporeon in , which Orcane's moveset is directly based on.
