Story

I'm READY!!!

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants of course! From the series of the same name, SpongeBob is a happy-go-lucky sea sponge who has been through all kinds of challenges, from saving Bikini Bottom from a robot army to saving Mr. Krabs from King Neptune himself. No matter what comes his way, SpongeBob is always ready for his next big adventure!

Gameplay

SpongeBob is an all-rounder character designed to be beginner friendly with fairly balanced attributes across the board. He has relatively quick attacks that could favor a rushdown playstyle along with a slow moving projectile that can cover a wide area of the stage. His recovery also sends him flying high up vertically which enables him to go deep off stage to secure the KO.

If you're new to the platform fighting genre and want a character that's easy to pick up and play, or if you're a veteran looking to learn the ropes of NASB's playstyle, this is one sponge you'll absolutely clean up with!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Good Recovery: Up special sends him straight up high. Combined with double jump and air dash, Spongebob can go deep off stage to secure a stock and still recover Solid Projectile: Bubble Blow sends out a slow moving projectile that travels far across the stage, forcing your opponent to react to it one way or another . Combo Game: SpongeBob’s scaling hitstun allows him to find combos on nearly all of his light attacks and kill confirms that continue to work past very high %s unlike the majority of the cast. If Spongebob is on top of you, it can be very hard to get him off reliably. Bring it Arouuuuund Town!: SpongeBob is an excellent all-rounder character, with tools to cover just about any situation.

Disjoints and Range: SpongeBob does not have a reliable disjoint unlike other characters in the cast. As such there are times where he has to work his way in to win neutral because he can get outranged easily. Barnacles!: SpongeBob is a middleweight, which means he can be combo'd by a lot of the cast but doesn't live as long as a heavyweight.

SHORYUKEN!

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
13%	15	15-18	42	-10

Box not included

15%	18	18-22	40	-5
An unusual attack for a down strong, having mostly upward hitboxes. Slow, but safe on block and can kill grounded opponents reliably.

Sponge à la Mode

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
13%	16	16-21	46	-21
A strong dash attack that is even better at leading into strong in exchange for being slower in startup.

Jumping/Air Strong Attacks

You know the planet in the background almost looks like a jellyfish

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
14%	17	17-20	42	-7
A decent enough disjoint that can fan away opponents with proper utilization. Great combo finisher for kills and edgeguards.

And if you look up here you'll see the name of this attack

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
13%	15	15-18	42	-8
Another very reliable uppercut. Many moves like up tilt, up air, up throw, and both dash attacks can lead to it.

Imaginaaation Kick
j2S / Jump Down Strong

With imagination, you can pretend you didn't just get spiked!

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
15%	18	18-22	40	-6
SpongeBob does an imagination powered axe kick that resembles a similar move belonging to a certain magic student from Primp Town that is a very strong spike and is good at punishing bad recoveries and finishing combos offstage. Very reminiscent of a certain poisonous frog from another platform fighter.

Stop on your right foot! DON'T FORGET IT!

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8%	11	11-190	32	-11

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
5% per hit	13	13-50	60	-88
An upward recovery move that can be hard to intercept due to its hitbox from above. However, its distance decreases if it hits an opponent.

Taunt

Taunt Button

"TaUnTiNg Is UnSpOrTsMaNlIkE!"

SpongeBob does his chicken impression from "Little Yellow Book". Mostly known for being a funny meme used to mock people, so it makes sense that it's his taunt in this game.
