Lars

## Overview

I did not consent to knowing. It was foisted onto me by someone who will never be written about. They will not get an article, they will not be mentioned, they will not be thought of by anyone except for me. When I die, their memory will follow. It's what they deserve. Everything else I write, because only after I write it is it allowed to leave. But not this thing, this is something for me to keep. And it hurts me more than it hurts anyone else, but it's something that I have to do. The writing is, too. The writing is a compulsion and a knot. If I don't write, it becomes too much, very quickly. When there are so many things to think about, I will always be thinking about something. And very little of it is good. If I write, there are less things. Someday I may get a moment of peace. That is why I write. But writing forces me to relive it. Anything that is written has been ruminated and grieved over. It has been lived through lifetime and lifetime over. It erodes the body, and the soul withers in kind. But at least for those lifetimes, I can only think about one thing. I can focus on something, one thing, even if it mauls me. Even if I hobble away from the memory, broken in constitution and drained in soul, for a moment, I could focus. Someday there will be nothing left to focus on, nothing left to write, and that is when I will have won.

## Super Moves

*Note from F████ R████: He wrote this one in one three-hour session, so towards the end it gets worse. I can't do anything about it because for some reason the guy at the top doesn't let us edit his bullshit but get him to come back later and fix this one.*

**Witch Hook**

*The* combo ender super. A very strong command grab which does no additional scaling on its own and also combos extremely consistently when cancelled into from specials, meaning that this move does eye-watering damage from pretty much any starter. The extreme versatility of this move cannot be overstated. If this connects, it is strongly recommended that you close your eyes. Forgetting is difficult.

**Corpse Fuck Death March**

Has two versions. Both versions shoot a projectile that goes fullscreen. If the projectile hits, a small cineamatic plays. The Light version only has projectile invincibility on startup but starts up in four frames and the projectile itself goes fullscreen in six, making this an extremely effective whiff punisher or a reaction punish for other projectiles. The heavy version has full invincibility until its last active frame, but is much, *much* slower - eighteen frames, meaning that it can be OSed with a meaty light by any character in the game. None of these consistently combo from any specials because funnily enough the LP version is too fast and the HP version is usually too slow. I wish I didn't know what this looked like. I wish I didn't know what it looked like when it was over.

**Sketches of Wrath**

An extremely niche super. This is the only super Lars has that can cancel into Desperation, but it costs two bars, meaning that Lars can only effectively dump meter and get guaranteed value out of it when he has a full five bars of meter, or will build it during this super. It's etched into my skull. There isn't really any effective counterplay to this super itself, considering it's only going to be used when Lars has five bars of meter, but it's incredibly important to note that this super's most consistent route is from HP Fetus Theater, which can only combo from 3C. There are other very niche routes that this can combo from, but those take a lot more awareness and execution, so a lot of Lars players will probably end up throwing out 3C a lot. Block low and punish it. I can't sleep. I see it everywhere. It's on my eyelids. I don't want to sleep. I cannot sleep.

**The Resonant Frequency of the Human Eyeball is Approximately 19Hz**

A very strong two bar "utility" super. I don't know if what I'm seeing anymore is real. Causes the entire screen to start vibrating for about 10 seconds, though this effect is purely visual. There are pale forms running by me, just past the reach of my arms. Causes any normal hit to inflict an additional six frames of hitstun, any counterhit to crumple the opponent, and any true launcher to launch slightly higher. Sometimes they look like people and sometimes they look like faces. This means that any opening Lars gets during this super is going to have its reward massively increased if the player knows how their routing changes. I miss them and I wish I didn't miss them. The visual effect also makes it harder to read exactly what's going on, meaning that any ambiguous setups are made further harder to see coming. I want them to leave and they aren't leaving. Extremely dangerous super, though the timer isn't paused when Lars is being hit, and no changes are made to blockstun, so don't be afraid to challenge if you think the player will go for something fake. I need them to leave, I will make them leave.

## Desperation

**Drill**

i keep my eyes closed the whole time during this one. i don't want to know.
