Waku Waku 7/Fernandez/Introduction

Introduction

By the power of the Wakuwaku Balls, he was sealed in Wakuwaku Park. For a long time, perhaps from the circumstances in which he was imprisoned, he might have become an extremely good person!?.

Fernandez (AKA Makaitaitei Fernandeath in the JP version) is the aggressive boss character who can either play rushdown or stay at distance and attack with his ranged and mostly safe attacks. Nearly anything Fernandez does leaves him at advantage or safe, regardless if it hits or not. One of his main focuses is his size, making it impossible for most of the cast to jump over him. This allows Fernandez to force the opponent into the corner, where he can turn most situations into a 50/50.

Strengths

Weaknesses

Running in Reverse: Yes, Fernandez can run backwards. Combined with his fast dashes, this gives him one of the best mobility in the entire game. Big: Due to his size, it is difficult for many character to jump over Fernandez. Great Combo Game: High frame advantage to link basics, making 5A incredibly a freeform combo tool and 10F HaraHara. Healing: You can heal with his overhead. This can mostly make the game last longer, and it is quite useful if the opponent is conditioned to block low. Dizzy: Can dizzy really easily due to his normals and his counterattack move can dizzy. So it alternately is an excellent choice for ending rounds. Fastest HaraHara: His HaraHara is without a doubt, the fastest in the game. At 10F, this makes dealing with Fernandez an absolute nightmare.

Big: He is more suspectible to overheads, and his enlarged limbs can be attacked to counter his offense and also suffers against heavy projectile pressure. DokiDoki: DokiDoki is slow, and mostly useless. HaraHara is usually a better choice to spend meter on, really. Boss Character: He is banned in tournaments, and you can't play as him on Fightcade. And even if you could, people probably don't want to play with you.
