Brawl dissection - squirtle

I promised that i would do this post what feels like months ago but was probably a few weeks, so here is the long, long awaited squirtle post.

Squirtle would be one of the pokemon trainer's three pokemon, he is by far the fastest out of the three but does not do great damage. When you first see the pokemon trainer in the subspace emissary this is the only pokemon you can play as, this didn't bother me at all as squirtle is my favourite of the three. Squirtle has decent jump height and can also wall jump which is a useful skill that i think all characters should have, but don't. Pretty much all of squirtle's a attacks are close range hits that don't make th opponent go very far, while his smashs on the other hand are quite good. His normal b move makes you charge fo a second then you will be able to use the almighty attack, water gun once, then you will need to recharge. Water gun does completely no damage but does push the opponent back, like kyogre's attack but weaker, this at first seems completely pointless, but when you think about it don't you hate it when yuo hit an enemy off the stage and they are coming back so you knock them away and this then allows them to use their up b to get back up, while if you had just left hem they still would have made it, well with water gun you can push them away from the ledge without letting them use their up b again. His side b is the move rapid spin, he goes inside his shell and spins toward the opponent at a very high speed, making this attack very dangerous for you if they dodge and you are close to an edge. I don't find this attack very useful though as you can't stop it very quickly, meaning that by the time you do you are usually well and truly beyond help. His up b though i find quite useful, he uses the move waterfall, which is a bit ironic as he is moving upwards. But anyway, you move upwards causing damage to any opponents who get close and making you unstoppable for a short amount of time. And of course his down b switches him out. Squirtle is a pretty good character in my opinion, thouhgi don;t really use him much.
