===Playstyle===
===Playstyle===
Carmine is a powerful setplay-type character who can lay down a variety of moves that control various amounts of space on the screen, and can easily convert it into a nasty amount of combo damage. Playing against him can easily be bound to give you a run for your money if one isn't careful, especially with his ability to lay carefully-placed Dissolves and powerful footsies. However, the biggest thing to look out for with Carmine is that many of his Dissolve-creating moves all use up HP, and that there are gaps between a number of his powerful lockdown tools that prevent them from being abused safely for free blockstring pressure. Timing and manipulation is key to playing Carmine properly.
Carmine is a high damage rushdown character who can deal a huge amount of damage by himself. Unlike in UNIST, his set-play and mix-up are very linear here. Playing against him can easily be bound to give you a run for your money if one isn't careful, especially with his ability to covert any hit into high damage. However, the biggest thing to look out for with Carmine is that most of his blood moves all use up HP which can lead to an instant death if the player is not careful. To play this character well, good HP management is a must.

Carmine's ability to control/weaponize his own blood also gives him the ability to lay down Dissolves; Dissolves are pools of blood left behind by certain moves of Carmine's that will drain a portion of his own HP, but can interact with a number of his other moves for special effects that each have their own hitboxes. For example, his 236X turns an already-laid-down-dissolve into an advancing blood wheel on the ground, or his 214X shoots up another blood crystal from the pool itself. There exist moves that directly interact with dissolve pools without costing Carmine's HP, but cannot set down dissolves themselves.

This move is pretty strong when right above enemy heads as a way to bait anti airs. With an assist to help, you can cover j.C's recovery while making it confirmable. Be mindful that there is a dead zone right in the middle from wear he throws it, to the spikes created on the ground. However, an assist can clear it of this weakness.

Carmine's grab is a rather important tool for him to have. Compared to his base game, Carmine can confirm off of this as well as gain back a greater amount of health than he previously could. In BBTAG, where his mixup arsenal has been shortened, his grab serves as a noteworthy tool that should be feared.}}

Carmine's reversal action lacks much vertical reach, but surely makes up for it with its horizontal distance. As the animation implies, it can also help avoid against enemy crossups. His reversal action also sees use in applying his unblockable setups, by having them block in the air after a tech, such as a 236x, and landing this move. With a good partner assist, you can expect good followups after the reset. }}

Overview

"You only got one life. Take care of it... You got that, you piece of trash?!"

Backstory

Carmine Prime (real name unknown) is a 3rd year student of the same high school that Hyde goes to. Sadistic and maniacal to the core, Carmine possesses an immense lust for violence to the point that it has become his sole purpose in life. Despite this, Carmine actually holds an extremely low opinion of himself and has little to no sense of self-worth, referring to both himself as well as people like him as "trash of society." He has even stated that he couldn't care less if he died one day on a pile of garbage, completely forgotten to the rest of the world. Nonetheless, Carmine only wishes to do the one thing he has ever been good at and which gives him his reason to live - beating others. Carmine views the teachers at school who keep lecturing about his violent ways as a nuisance.

After being attacked by a Void and becoming an In-Birth, Carmine decided to use his newfound EXS abilities to fulfill his one desire: to fight. Now, he roams the streets during the Hollow Night seeking his favorite opponents in battle - other In-Births.

Playstyle

Carmine is a high damage rushdown character who can deal a huge amount of damage by himself. Unlike in UNIST, his set-play and mix-up are very linear here. Playing against him can easily be bound to give you a run for your money if one isn't careful, especially with his ability to covert any hit into high damage. However, the biggest thing to look out for with Carmine is that most of his blood moves all use up HP which can lead to an instant death if the player is not careful. To play this character well, good HP management is a must.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Strengths Weaknesses
  • Has some of the highest damage outputs in the game even without assists.
  • Above average health
  • Can reverse beat which allows him to confirm most grounded hits into a full combo/blockstring.
  • Great pressure and lockdown thanks to his specials, which is also helped by his dissolves.
  • Good space control thanks to his great normals, his specials and his dissolves.
  • In particular, his forward assist is effected by his dissolves and can help augment a partner's screen control and lockdown.
  • Can set more than double dissolves in this game compared to his limit of 2 dissolves in UNI.
  • Certain commands will recover some of his lost health.
  • Has an unblockable setup which becomes confirmable with a delayed assist.
  • His special moves are at the the cost of using his own health, though they won't kill him even if his life is at 1.
  • Gaps in between his moves such as the time the hitboxes are active can easily leave him open to deft users of reversals or counter-mashing during his offense, so his frame traps must have more thought put into them.
  • Tying into the above, reckless usage of moves can easily leave him punished if not set up properly.
  • His old Force Function, "Makure!" (Twist!/Twist up!) isn't in this game, meaning you can't move already set dissolves for better positioning.


EXS of Lifeblood: Blood Spike

Carmine's ability to control/weaponize his own blood also gives him the ability to lay down Dissolves; Dissolves are pools of blood left behind by certain moves of Carmine's that will drain a portion of his own HP, but can interact with a number of his other moves for special effects that each have their own hitboxes. For example, his 236X turns an already-laid-down-dissolve into an advancing blood wheel on the ground, or his 214X shoots up another blood crystal from the pool itself. There exist moves that directly interact with dissolve pools without costing Carmine's HP, but cannot set down dissolves themselves.
