Introduction:

//What is this?//
This is an edit of Gaelik's Chuck Norris (you know, that one that gained the reputation of the cheapest char of all MUGEN history before the null chars came out) that makes him more "fair" and less broken while still keeping the character's madness ala garjian's Fair Akuma for it (an edit of Rare Akuma that attempts to make the character less cheap but still hard to fight against); a fun fact, I got this idea after Reading Wake_Lolley's comment of the Fair Akuma char on AK1, so shoutout to them! I know that leandroff5sfz3 made an edit where Chuck could get hit, but he was still not close from being considered "balanced", as most of his attacks could easily K.O. an average oponente in seconds. 

I didn't want to just make Chuck hittable, nerf his stats and call it a day, I wanted to make him play more like a "traditional fighting game character", or at least make him bear a resemblance of a traditional one. Take note that this edit does not make him 100% balanced or something, as his damage output is a bit high, he still can cancel his Normals to perform long combos that can sometimes lead to infinites and he has gained a few advantages to compensate for the removed cheap enhacements (obviously, not too much since that would kill the edit's premise); pretend that this edit turns Chuck into a Boss character :P

This edit also adds a custom A.I., though a really rough one. It tends to approach to the opponent to pressure them and perform grounded and aerial combos. It also tends to block attacks more than often, but you can defeat it with throws and counters. There might be some oddities on the A.I. since I suck at coding A.Is XD

======================================================================================
What is included? / What has been changed?
  *Chuck Norris is hittable, yay
  *Added a damage dampening.
  *Pressing start does not reset Chuck's state... it does nothing, not even a taunt..
  *Chuck's crouching uppercut no longer star K.O.s the opponent.
  *Most of Chuck's attacks can be blocked now.
  *Chuck Norris' Power bar is no longer set to full.
  *Hypers consume Power, wow.
  *Put some restrictions on attacks, like the missle when pressing Y and the grenades.
  *His teleport and time freeze requires Power now.
  *Added the Uzi from an older version of Chuck.
  *Road Summer Da is an Exceed now.

======================================================================================
What's left to do?
  *Maybe add a taunt.
  *More nerfs and buffs.
  *Bug fixes.
  *See what can I do with the missles that follows the opponent and that one infamous insta kill attack.
  *Improve the A.I. to make it less chaotic and less stiff, and maybe make it configurable.

======================================================================================
Gameplay:
Buttons: six-button character:
  D = down
  F = forward
  U = up
  B = back
  x = Teleport
  y = Missle
  z = A button needed to activated ZAWARUDO!!!
  a = Light attack
  b = Medium attack
  c = Strong attack

Gameplay style: Custom, I guess

Archetype: Probably rushdown

Custom AI?: Yes

Strentghs:
  .Racking combos with Chuck is not really difficult as one can simply mash the a, b and c bottons for some damage, though the damage dampener prevents them from K.O.ing the opponent too quickly
  .A plethora of attacks that can tickle almost every situation :)
  .Chuck is a really mobile character, being able to reach an end of a stage to the other in seconds

Flaws:
  .uhhhh, he can be hit?
  .Chuck has a rather poor aerial game as he does not have a lot of aerial attack options, and he can be easily punished in the air if an attack fails to make contact.
  .Some of Chuck's strongest blows requires a good portion of his Power bar, which can leave him with not Power if not used efficiently or mistimed.
  .Chuck lacks of a grab outside of his SGS... yeah.

Other Notes:
  .Some jokes of Chuck Norris that gave Gaelik ideas since why not?:

Chuck Norris can hold a deadly hyper lazer proton cannon with one hand.
Chuck Norris' mere footsteps can cause massive earthquakes.
Chuck Norris can make a nuclear explosion with a point of the finger.
Chuck Norris doesn't kick people into the sun. He kicks the sun into people!

Move Explanations:
---------------

Teleport: Teleports behind the opponent... yeah. You can become General from Kaiser Knuckle for a few seconds at the cost for some Power.

Missle: A missle spawns at a random position. Can be useful to scope iddling opponents, but it can be blocked and it takes some time to land so use it wisely.

ZAWARUDO!!!: "HOLLI SHIT IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE??" Yes, it is! Power gradually drains to 0, and attacks that consume Power makes the time freeze end faster, so use it wisely too.

FAKE ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!: A weak Roundhouse Kick (but hurts bad anyway). Distance travelled varies with button pressed.

GRENADE!!!: Throws a grenade that bounces around the stage and explodes after some time. Only one grenade per throw.

DYNAMITE!!!: Explodes the area. Can be used as a "get-off-me", but it isn't the most optimal move to use.

KNIVES!!!: Throws knives in the air. Can be used as an anti-air option, but it has low priority and disappears after some time.

DESTROY!!!: Well, DESTROYS !!!

UZI!!!: Ready... Aim... AUTO-FIRE! also not really optimal since it can be easily avoided by simply crouching, but it can be used as a way to shutdown your foes' approach options.

REAL ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!: HIS Roundhouse Kick makes people fly around the world.

DEADLY HYPER LAZER PROTON CANNON!!!: Heeza firin heez lazer!

FALCON PUNCH!!!: FALCON PAWNCH!!!!!!!!1 can be charged for more damage and you have super armor during the move.

Chun Kuk Do: A Shun Goku Satsu and the only attack that is unblockable since it is a throwwhywouldathrowbeguardableyoumayas-

GOTTA HELL!!!: The only attacks that can only be used while airborne. Use this attack with caution, as Chuck goes downwards really fast.

ROAD SUMMER DA!!!:  See the fact for details... It isn't a unblockable insta-kill anymore, but it deals lots of damage.

; QnA

Q: Why is there an interrogation mark next to the "F" in his displayname? 
A: "Completely Fair" is a really strong word to define this edit, despite most of the cheap enhancements being removed, but "utterly broken" is also not qa really suitable word, and also I don't know if this edit could be considered "fair".

Q: Why are some command inputs of Chuck's Hypers unaltered?
A: I mostly ignored some of the command inputs and thus didn't change a lot of them.. and I forgot to change them. I might change them to make them less abusable.

Q: Why is the NUKE!!! attack absent?
A: Because I don't know how I could place it and modify it while still making Chuck "fair" :/

Q: Why most of the explanations of the moves are just copied and pasted from Norris' original Readme.txt file?
A: Because I got lazy + I found some of these explanations a bit funny.

Q: Bruh why use Winane's AI coding when you can use M.U.G.E.N 1.0+'s AILevel trigger?
A: To retain the character's WinMUGEN compatibility.

Q: But why tho?
A: I like the aesthetic that WinMUGEN has.

Q: Do you plan on getting some cheap characters the same treatment?
A: To be honest I don't have a lot of plans on making cheap characters "fair", but I plan on doing the complete opposite :)

Q: What do you mean "the complete opposite"?
A: Try to figure it out yourself, old and depressing creature.

Q: Can I edit this edit?
A: uhhhhh... yes, I think.

Q: Wow, this is a poorly constructed Questions and Answers!
A: I know, the answers are too short and shallow.

; My personal 2 favorite Chuck Norris facts:
."Chuck Norris once threw a hand grenade into a crowd of 50 people, killing everyone of them then the grenade went off."
."When the Boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris. Another legend is that Chuck Norris sleeps with a night light. Not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris."

Also, I remember watching Dane Boe's Chuck Norris vídeos when I was younger, good times..
