Story

I'll do this with my hands!

Nigel Archibald Thornberry is a husband, father, and incredibly devoted Zoologist who Spends his life creating Wildlife documentaries with his nomadic family. His itch for adventure doesn't limit him just to the wild, as now it has gotten him into the Brawl! Absolutely Smashing!

Gameplay

Nigel Thornberry is a heavyweight fighter that emphasizes footsies. A lot of his attacks are on the slower side but make up for it with high knockback; a cancelled dash attack can quickly rack up any damage deficit Nigel might be at. His Up Light and Aerial Neutral Light are combo tools any explorer would want to have in their backpack that allow him to pressure opponents before ending with one of his powerful Strong attacks.

His Down Special Flick can decisively end a match with it's insane power, but you'll have to be very precise as the hitbox is extremely small, and despite being a heavyweight The Worm gives him one of the only intangible movement options in the game that can let him easily reposition or dodge an attack.

If you want to hit hard and have a smashing good time doing it, Nigel's who you want on your safari!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Mobility: Nigel possesses interesting mobility options with his natural aerial drift, Falcon Dive, Frog Hop, and The Worm. He has tools that most other characters lack and can use it well to mix-up the opponent.
Combo Game: What's Over There? is one of the best combo tools in the game, allowing Nigel to air juggle his opponent to kill %.
Walling Capabilities: Moves like Woodpecker and Falcon Five are great for keeping the opponent at bay, especially in tandem with strafe.
Vertical KO Power: His j.8L is a great normal which combos into Flick at certain percents, this along with his above average j.8S make Nigel's Vertical power nothing to scoff at.
Survivability: Being a heavyweight with good mobility and above average horizontal recovery, Nigel will be living to very high percents and opponents will have a hard time K.O-ing him.

Struggles Against Disjoints: Nigel likes to get in peoples face during offense and with no long ranged moves or disjoints of his own, He struggles against characters like Lincoln and Leo.
Poor Vertical Recovery: While Horizontally Nigel has no problem getting on stage, Vertically is where he falters. Smashing Whale is a lackluster recovery which doesn't go very high and has awful horizontal drift.

Jumping/Air Light Attacks

Woodpecker
j5L / Jump Light

Smashing!

Nigel pecks at his opponent like a woodpecker. This move is a good poke and a good get off me. The first hit oddly sends the opponent slowly downwards in place, which can lead to some rare but very powerful combos into Flick.

What's Over There?
j8L / Jump Up Light

Smashing!

Nigel sticks his big head up looking for something with his binoculars. One of the best juggle tools in the game: huge hitbox and can combo into itself. Can confirm into Aerial Up Strong or Flick for early kills.

Falcon Dive
j2L / Jump Down Light

Smashing!

Not to be confused with Captain Falcon's up special. Nigel does a bird-like dive onto his opponent. A bit awkward to use onstage, but it has a weak spike, making it useful as an edgeguarding tool.
