Ah, the Mangle. A personal favorite of mine, I wanted to make sure I did this jumbled mess justice. She's designed to be played in any way seen fit, as a rushdown, ambusher, stealth, even a zoner could work. A jack of all trades, but a master of none, to play him effectively you'll need to embrace all her playstyles on the fly.
Now, you may have noticed, there's no scrapped alt this time. That's because Mangle's original moveset was actually released! I believe it was the third one I ever made, so obviously I wanted to do it justice with this rework. Also since there's no scrapped alt, I'll be going over everything here instead of splitting it into two posts.
Originally, he was a lot more basic, I think one of the original ideas part of this kit was a charge move, but I decided to change it due how bland it was, essentially making her a gimmicky MX. The idea was then repurposed into Jaws. I had also planned to let Mangle crawl along the walls, like the several times characters like Rosemary and Niloticus had been teased to do so but never ended up getting to. That idea would also go unused, namely because it didn't make good sense for her kit, but it would be re-used into the ceiling crawl mode!
Another thing I wanted to really focus on was Mangle's iconic radio noises, since her original moveset really didn't make use of them at all. For clarification, her idle (radio sounds) get louder the more any of your abilities are empowered, meaning you're trading off stealth the more you boost any ability.
Oh, and yes, Foam Noose is based off FNAF World and that one teaser of Mangle hanging. I love FNAF World.
