Description
Ey, everyone! Back with the last chart for the second set. Presenting the fire woman, the badass guardian of the Sol Emeralds herself, Blaze the Cat! I had a lot of fun making a chart for her, and I had a lot of fun coming up with the power-ups and transformations for her. There's a lot to cover, so let's get into it!
Blaze: Off the bat, you've got the princess of the Sol Empire in base form. She's got her trademark pyrokinesis, super speed, hand-to-hand combat skills, Axel Jump, Burst Dash, Spinning Claw, and Fire Boost. This time around, Blaze has taken up Shotokan-style Karate to mix with her own type of hand-to-hand combat skills.
Blaze (Ignition): Heading down, we see that Blaze learned a few new tricks. Inspired by Sonic, Knuckles, and Silver, Blaze learned to use her flames to increase her power. Her unique Ignition ability allows her to cloak herself in an aura of intense flames and strike her foes with powerful fire-infused attacks. She can also project destructive fireballs, unleash exploding fire pillars, and enhance her speed and mobility via fire jets under her feet.
Blaze (Ignition: All Burn): With extensive use of her Ignition ability, Blaze discovered a way to utilize 100% of power. This, in turn, makes her flames much more potent than before. She can bolster her physical and fire attacks and move at even greater speeds and mobility.
Burning Blaze:To the left, we got Blaze's Burning Form. When Blaze harnesses the power of the seven Sol Emeralds, she becomes Burning Blaze. Like a Super Form from the Chaos Emeralds, Blaze gains increased strength, speed, and invulnerability. As an added bonus, her pyrokinetic abilities are enhanced as well.
Burning Blaze (Ignition): Blaze's Ignition ability also transfers to her Burning Form, granting her flames even greater destructive power than before and making her attacks much stronger.
Azure Blaze: Looks like we got something interesting here. Apparently, there's more to the Sol Emeralds than we thought. When strengthened by the Jeweled Scepter, the Sol Emeralds become the Magna Emeralds, allowing them to channel far greater power than before. When Blaze harnesses their power, Blaze becomes the mighty Azure Blaze. This can be seen as Blaze's answer to a Hyper Form. In her Azure Form, Blaze's fur and dress turn a shade of blue, and she wears her hair down. She also gains two tails, resembling the Nekomata yokai of legend.
Azure Blaze is far stronger than her Burning Form, allowing her to command blue flames that are much hotter than her regular flames.
Azure Blaze (Ignition): Blaze can also use her Ignition ability in her Azure Form. Blaze's already powerful blue flames are far stronger than before, producing flares resembling lightning.
Phoenix Blaze: Oh, goodie! Story time! Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, and Silver have all displayed incredible abilities and transformations to combat any threat to the world. Knowing this, Blaze believed she didn't measure up as the protector of her world, and threw herself into intense training. She acquired greater control of her pyrokinesis and new skills, but it wasn't enough. Remembering her friends' new forms, Blaze sought to gain one for herself. She gathered the Sol Emeralds and Jeweled Scepter and called upon the Power of the Stars. After turning the Sol Emeralds into the Magna Emeralds, Blaze merged their energy with a portion of the Power of the Stars. She let the power resonate with her heart and desire to protect her friends and empire. Blaze then gained a new form of transcendent power, a form that symbolized her soul alit with flames, Phoenix Blaze.
In her Phoenix Form, Blaze's fur and dress turn fiery orange, and she lets her hair down with another strand added. She also gains a pair of fiery wings, giving her an appearance similar to the Phoenix, a legendary, sacred firebird. As a "Limit Breaker Form," Blaze's body is filled to the brim with fiery energy that also flows from her eyes. All of Blaze's attributes are boosted to massive levels. Moreover, she yields unparalleled mastery over mystic flames that burn far hotter than even her Azure Form at full power. Blaze can also use her flames to heal herself and others.
Phoenix Blaze (Sacred Flame): Further up, we have the strongest variation of Blaze's Ignition, Sacred Flame. Blaze can cloak herself in sacred flames to increase her already immense power.
Whew! And there you have it! Blaze's chart was probably one the easiest and most fun charts I've done. Hope you all enjoyed the second set.
