< Pyros >

Creator .........: James Sweeney
Creation Date ...: June 5, 2076
Special Abilities: Fire Spin, Super Thrust Attack, Jet Swoop


  Manual:

The colossal Pyros unit is used primarily for space station design. Normally, the unit is equipped with a huge array of tools necessary to keep deep-space machinery in working condition. It uses its various jet systems to move itself between various objects in space without needing a shuttle or external jet pack.

In combat, the Pyros is a formidable arsenal of flame. It can change the direction in the air, jump forwards and backwards while attacking, and can "swoop" down on an enemy with a powerful blow. Pyros does lack in the speed department, but the damage caused by its flame throwers more than makes up for its sluggish movement.


  Matts:

The Pyros is another example of a 'bot that relies primarily on raw power to win. Although many of its moves work fine against a human player, as there is minimal reaction time, you have to rely more on chipping away at your opponent in One Player or Tournament Mode as the computer blocks most of the moves every time. Although its flames aren't nearly as powerful as its arms, they are invulnerable to attack. Any special move that comes into contact with the flames (with the exception of the Thorn's Spike Charge) is almost always stopped cold. That, and AI flaws with the Pyros's Crouching Heavy Punch & Fire Spin, make it an entertaining, yet challenging, 'bot to use.
