Aight, so Gengar then...

• Frame data is all over the place; some Normals are really safe on block, others are really unsafe on block.
• Gengar's got a lot of priority on his attacks despite how quick they are, though conversely, some of his Normals (typically his crouching ones) are stubs.
• The damage dampener does not affect Helpers, so moves like Shadow Ball and Night Shade don't scale whatsoever.
• 5B is ridiculous. It's fast (frame 6), safe (+15 on block!), and lets Gengar hop across the stage with a generous hitbox, plus it launches so it sets up for combos. https://streamable.com/kn3z0c
• 5C looks like an overhead, but isn't, yet 5Z doesn't, but is. It's a little confusing to be honest.
  
• Night Shade (QCF P) is unblockable at close-range because Gengar's movetype is set to I during the attack, while the Helper's HitDef comes out on the same frame the Helper is spawned; setting Gengar's movetype to A fixes this.
  
  • Night Shade is also attributed as an attack, not a projectile, so counters won't function properly against it and it doesn't clash with other projectiles.
• Shadow Ball (QCB P) is an easy infinite because of how high its hitstun is (+32 point-blank, +42 max distance) and because you can spawn another one while one is still out. https://streamable.com/zhx1ty
  
  • Shadow Ball is also attributed as an attack, not a projectile, so counters won't function properly against it and it doesn't clash with other projectiles.
• Hypnosis (QCF K) is busted.
  
  • This meaty hitbox:
    
    Which, granted, doesn't mean much without context, so...
  • It's unblockable. Sure you can jump it, so it's kinda like a grab, but it's so ridiculously active that you can activate the move, have the opponent jump, and it'll still be active when they land.
  • You can combo into it, so it's an unblockable move you can combo into on block.
  • It stuns the opponent for 400 frames, or about 6.67 seconds.
  • There is no check to see if the opponent is already stunned, so you can loop the move into itself to keep them stunned forever; sure, the move doesn't do any damage, but you can still timer scam with it, or more appropriately, do this: https://streamable.com/9swixv
• Dream Eater (QCB KK) giving Gengar 350 Life off what is essentially an easy hitconfirm is nuts. Sure it uses 3 bars and can only be used during Hypnosis, but Hypnosis.
• I kinda expected Super Hammer (QCF PP) to be an overhead considering the animation and how slow it is.

yay your very first pokemon has been released, keep it up. I'm trying these two later on

yeah the Gengar you use as a based was crapy made.
