#NASB2_Plankton

About

The mini mastermind owner of the Chum Bucket, now with a mecha suit.

Playstyle

Plankton is a rare "zoner-grappler" archetype. He excels in wreaking havoc on-stage by spilling sauce everywhere, and then ending the stock with a devastating command grab. Plankton also has some of the biggest buttons in the game, and he can easily wall his opponents out with his devastating ledgetrapping.

If you like wreaking havoc wherever you go and being large and in charge, Plankton might be for you!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Heavy. Plankton has some of the best longetivity of any character in the game due to his weight and recovery mixups. Hits like a truck. Plankton can deal over 50% in a few small interactions if given the chance. Zoning: Plankton can spill sauce all over the stage and even fling it at his opponents, dealing damage to them and making it easier for him to kill them off of a command grab. In addition, he also has several other projectiles at his disposal, a ridiculously big grab hitbox, and several ways of keeping you out of his way. Grappling: Alongside his amazing projectiles, Plankton also has some of the most hard-hitting close-range options in the game, such as his devastating Side Special command grab, his amazing aerial options, and his grappling hook-esque Up Strong. Plankton can just as easily reel you in as fast as he can keep you out. Ledgetrapping: Plankton is extremely dangerous on ledge. He has several ways to wall you out and prevent you from getting back on stage without ever having to get off of it. Excellent character for beginners: Plankton is a great character to play if you are just learning how the game works.

Predictable: Plankton's gameplan can be rather linear, and if the opponent knows how to deal with his tricks, he will be quick work. Therefore, a Plankton player must always mix up their options in order to keep their opponent at bay. Big: Perhaps ironically, Plankton is one of the tallest characters (if not the tallest) in the game. This means he is more susceptible to damaging combo routes than most other characters. Slow-ish: Plankton's run speed is rather slow, so he will spend most of the match wavedashing to get around. Not much wiggle room: Plankton is huge and can take up a lot of the stage fairly easily. This means that on smaller stages, he doesn't have much room to run or spill sauce, so you have to be careful on where you land or position yourself.

Sauce Status Effect

Mecha Plankton has several attacks that can inflict the Sauce status effect, these attacks being Neutral Special, Slime/EX Neutral Special, and Charge Up Air.

In general, the Sauce status effect will slow down the opponent and set their DI multiplier to 0, meaning DI inputs will be ignored when they have the Sauce status effect on them. The more an opponent is hit with attacks that apply the Sauce status effect, the slower they become.

The Sauce status effect has six phases in total. When first reaching a phase, its lifetime timer will begin and any subsequent sauce hits will add a small amount of time to the timer. If an opponent is hit with enough sauce attacks, the status effect will progress to its next phase. When a phase's timer runs out, the previous phase will begin. If there is no previous phase, the Sauce status effect will end. Because of this, the status effect can last for a very long time if applied consistently.

Techniques

Up Special Height Boost Example

Up Special Height Boost

You can cancel Light Up Air early from frames 42-51 into Up Special. By doing this, you will increase the height gained with Up Special. If you do not cancel Light Up Air in time and instead allow the move to end, Up Special will not gain any additional height. Using the height boost can make a huge difference in recovering from long distances.

Ground Canceled Charge Neutral Air Example

Ground Canceled Charge Neutral Air

If you land on a platform on or the stage while you are propelling forward during Charge Neutral Air, you will cancel the move but retain your momentum, causing you to slide across the ground. However, hitting a shield before canceling your Charge Neutral Air will kill your momentum. Jumping shortly after the cancel will carry some of your momentum into the air.

You can perform this tech by either using an edge to land onto a surface, or by exhausting your fuel to negate the stalling effect and landing on a surface during the attack (much harder).

Edge Canceled Charge Neutral Air Example (with potential usages)

Edge Canceled Charge Neutral Air

Charge Neutral Air can be edge canceled by angling the move up before touching the edge of a stage. This will cancel the attack and allow Mecha Plankton to be fully actionable afterwards. Mecha Plankton must be at a specific height relative to the edge. If he's too high, he will fly past the edge. If he's too low, he will either ground cancel Charge Neutral Air, or become stuck against the edge.

Shock Wave Off Edge Example

Shock Wave Off Edge

If Mecha Plankton stands at a very specific distance behind an edge and uses Charge Down, the shock wave can fall off the edge. This can happen on platforms and on the stage. The distance you need to be from an edge is somewhat consistent with every stage and platform, but camera angles and stage terrain can make it harder to pinpoint where to stand to perform this tech consistently.

Slime Canceled Dash Attack Boost Example

Slime Canceled Dash Attack Boost

If you slime cancel during dash attack at a specific timing, you will gain a burst of speed. Jumping soon after the slime cancel will give you a large speed boost that carries into the air.
