Introduction
This is for you, THExplosion24.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3121174548Director, by THExplosion24, is their own original modded character, that will (eventually) have 3 stances. They are an all-rounder, having 3 distinct stances: Rushdown, for fighting up close, Sword, better for fighting at medium range, and Zoner (WIP), for fighting mostly at range.

General Mechanics
Director's main mechanic primarily revolves around the super Dimensional Reel. There are a few things they can do with it:Summon the Dimensional Reel on a semi circle XY plot
use Splice after placing it, which can either be triggered as a teleport super to the reel or by splicing an attack through the reel. There is a toggle when using the super itself to teleport back to the location you warped from just like
Supercut.
use Shot, which will fire an unparriable projectile which you can change the direction of with the XY plot.
Desummon, which removes your Dimensional Reel and lets you place another.
Use Supercut. Supercut has different effects depending on which stance you are in. Here is what it does across all stances: You can perform any attack and immediately be spliced to your Dimensional Reel the second you attack, or you can hold, which won't teleport you, to trick the opponent into attacking or blocking.
Shot becomes a large yellow laser (which is taken directly from Sky Hunter).
Here are the effects of Supercut in Rushdown Stance:There are various changes for Stunt Double, Rush becomes Sucker Punch (although a weaker version), Ascend becomes Creative Shock, and there is a new option unlocked called Ambush (which was originally a standard option).
Tight Schedule now tracks the opponent.
Here are the effects of Supercut in Sword Stance Stance: Autograph becomes a fast moving card that explodes after a short distance.
Fine Print now fires a significantly faster projectile that has a lot more damage and hitstun.
Stance SwitchingDirector has 2 ways to switch stances: using the defensive option Shift Scene: S/R or using an attack. For attacks, using Floor Lighting, Paperwork, or Fine Print in Rushdown Stance switches to Sword Stance. In Sword Stance, using Tight Schedule transitions you back to Rushdown Stance. All of these attacks are listed in Supers if using them as a stance change.
Shift Scene: S/R has an IASA of 14, but in combo it's 8. It also gives you velocity based on your DI.
Defensive Options
Each stance has different defensive options, some of which are unique.
