## Attributes

Steven is a melee-centric character whose moveset relies on his Gem powers coming from the Quartz.

Steven has average speed and power, being the game's all-around type of character. He can turn his fighting style into good amount of combos, not as many as some of the other combo-like characters.

Steven's range is however poor as some of his attacks have to be close up to those. He also struggles against characters who can chain combo or chain attack him. Shield Charge has alot of ending lag to it, making him open to getting hit. Rose Bubble can hold for exactly 4 seconds from attacks, but can dissapear if a Smash or Heavy Smash is inputted.
