Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl/Hugh Neutron

Story

Once when I was seven years old I sat on a banana, and of course, that changed my life. Hubert Beaumont "Hugh" Neutron is the father of Jimmy Neutron. He hails from the titular series Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. He's a very eccentric, goofy man with a fascination for pies and ducks. He's known to be quirky and absent-minded, but is always a good-natured father figure at the end of the day to his son Jimmy, and a loving husband to his wife Judy.
Hugh's inclusion in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl originated from an internet campaign to add him to the game, backed by none other than his voice actor, Mark DeCarlo. He was later added as the Summer DLC for the Universe Pack.

Gameplay

Much like his personality, Hugh is a very quirky and unorthodox character in Nick All-Star Brawl. For example, he is extremely slow on the ground when just using his dash, but to make up for it, his wavedash is one of, if not the best in the game due to how slippery it is. He is also the only floaty character in the game, having a double jump that allows him to soar in the air higher than the rest of the cast. Perhaps most unique to Hugh, though, is the fact that he has a back air. By holding strafe and back when performing a neutral air, Hugh will instead do his back air move. This is extremely useful for edgeguarding and his combo game. He also has a great recovery, as both his up special and double jump help aid him when the time comes.

Hugh's full potential has yet to be explored in full detail as he is a rather new addition to the cast. However, from what is known thus far, he is most proficient at edgeguarding and anti-airing his opponents, while struggling if he gets stuck in a combo or his opponent lands on top of him offstage.

Oh, also, by doing +Taunt, he will do his own version of Chun-Li's Hoyokusen. No, I'm not kidding.

Strengths

Weaknesses

One of if not the best wavedash in the game. Sends him very far forward and is useful for getting in on opponents as well as giving him tricky movement.
Double jump allows him to go higher than any other character in the game. This is useful for both edgeguarding and his combo game.
- Only character in the game that can double jump cancel. Can carry momentum from his double jump into his aerials.
Strong anti-air game with his neutral air and back air. Back air in particular allows for very unique combos.
Taunt kick move does 30% and kills most light characters around 80%. It's also Frame 8.
Strong Up Air and Down Strong are both great kill moves.
His Light Down Air is very safe on block (+5), very disjointed, can be canceled on hit, and is very good against more linear recoveries such as Nigel and CatDog's.
Relatively decent pokes, in both Down Light (1 and 2) and Jab.
Okay projectiles.
Best voice acting in the game. Hugh Nation!

Hugh is abhorrently slow on the ground without his wavedash. He has the same run speed as Reptar.
Tall midweight, with a floaty double jump. This allows him to get comboed easily and combo-heavy characters like Garfield can be a real struggle.
Down Light 3-5 are pretty bad.
Both of his down aerials are "stall-n-falls", meaning he cannot cancel the move until he hits the ground or (in Light Down Air's case) the opponent. This makes breaking out of combos significantly harder for him to do, and edgeguarding with these moves can be an extreme risk.
Worst strong dash in the game. Can't be used to cancel into another move, its horrendously slow and its only real use is for a Hail Mary edgeguard situation.
As of the Rocko patch, his kick move is considerably harder to do due to a bug, hindering its usability in his kit.
Due to his double jump, he struggles to get out of Down Air chains compared to most of the cast.
Very unorthodox and input-heavy character with a lot of weaknesses, meaning he is hard to use at higher levels.
