Advanced Strategies

Jump Kick: Weak

Roundhouse: Good

This guy is cool. Not only does he look cool, he is a good fighter. His Hat Throw is steerable, which is good for hitting ducking or jumping opponents. It comes out fairly slow though, keep that in mind. While doing the Whirlwind Spin, he can not be hit by anything other than a missile weapon or the Ground Dmash. It takes a while to fire up, and there is a period where the Spin speeds up and slows down, in which you are vulnerable to regular hits. You must either kick or punch after you do the teleport, otherwise you are likely to get hit. The Aerial Kick is a good suprise weapon. Don't abuse it though, or you will get abused. Try jumping away from your opponent then doing it. Use it sparingly and when least expected.
