Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl/Jenny Wakeman

Story

5 o' clock, get a call to go blading at the skate park down by the mall! But my mom says I got to prevent hostile aliens from annihilating us all!

Ninth in line of the "XJ" series created by Nora Wakeman, XJ-9 (AKA "Jenny") is an android designed for defending the Earth from all manner of threats, terrestrial or otherwise. Not only is she built to resemble a teenage girl, she thinks, feels, and lives like one and contends with trying to live the life of a normal teen while also keeping Earth safe. Still, with the strength of a million and seventy men, she's more than up to the task! If only she could go for a walk without rusting in the rain...

Gameplay

Jenny is a highly versatile all-rounder who can both zone effectively while also playing as a vicious rushdown character. She has arguably the best recovery in the game that can allow her to go deep off stage and still make it back, and it's impressive maneuverability allows her to recover both low and high and mix up her landing. Her jab combo can loop back into itself and rack up damage quick on anyone who lets Jenny get too close to them, especially on bigger fighters like Reptar. Her missile can be guided in any direction to poke from a distance and fumble recovery attempts, and anyone who dares to try and recover low against her will have to contend with two meaty mallets that can be mashed at ledge and be devastating for characters who's recovery pops them over the ledge like CatDog or Ren and Stimpy.

If you want to smother your opponent and not give them the chance to fight back, then upgrade your game with XJ-9!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Super Flying Robot: Jenny rules the skies with her recovery. While it does no damage, it halts her in place and allows her to fly freely in any direction with tight turns. She can recover both low and high and from far off stage, letting her go DEEP off stage to secure a stock and still make it back. If recovering low as Jenny, you can easily feint flying to the ledge before making a hard turn and flying up and around to throw off any edge-guard attempts and make it back safely.
Ban Hammer: Her Down Heavy is a tantrum of slamming hammers that can be mashed repeatedly to keep it going and can shut down any attempt at a low recovery that would put the opponent over the ledge instead of grabbing. Not to mention comboing it from a dash attack at ledge can lead to a spike.
Loop Structures: Her neutral jab is a 3 hit combo that can loop back into itself to quickly take damage if your opponent lets Jenny into their range. This can easily take the poor trapped soul from 0 to 50% if it's allowed to continue. Jenny however drifts slightly forward every time she performs the combo which will eventually push her through her victim and allow them to recover. To take full advantage of her devastating combo, don't be greedy and know when to end it on a Heavy Attack.
GET OVER HERE!: Jenny's grab has a deceptive reach, as holding down the input will stretch her arm out far to grab opponents that might be trying to keep out of her range

System Lag: Jenny's kill moves have slow startup and can sometimes be difficult to confirm from. Oftentimes has to look for an opening if she is going to kill with a strong.
No-Fly Zone: While she has an excellent recovery, it does no damage, has no hitbox and can leave her vulnerable. Avoid getting bonked on the head by flying in a deceptive route back to the stage.
Backfired: Jenny's Strong Neutral Air cannot be used reliably to RPS as it is too slow and sends her flying backwards.

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety

11%/11% (both pressed/held)	28/33	28-29/33-34, 2-3/7-8	64 (pressed), 38 (held)	-11 (pressed), -9 (held)
Jenny throws a tantrum and starts pounding the ground with two giant hammers. Very good at catching bad recoveries. Can be mashed by tapping the button repeatedly. Has a long cooldown animation. If an opponent catches you mashing and gets behind you, you might not be able to recover quick enough to avoid getting punished

Gliding Buzzsaw

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
11%	17	17-26	44	-18

UNI-BEAM! Wait, wrong game

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
21%	28	28-32	69	-9
Jenny charges and releases a laser from her chest. Has a long windup but hits hard and the blast propels Jenny backwards. Can be used in interesting movement situations and gliding across the stage. Can NOT be used as recovery option, the lag will kill you.

Lobster Claws
j8S / Jump Up Strong

BIG. MEATY. CLAWS!

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
13%	21	21-24	54	-8

An all expenses paid trip to the blast zone.

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
15%	20	20-25	51	-6
Jenny goes for all the marbles and dunks her opponent. Great for killing off stage, though going for more than one may be required in some cases. Useful for stalling off stage and mixing up recovery.

Special Attacks

Rocket Power
5P / Neutral Special

Wait, that's the wrong show!

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
8%	25	25-325	40	-3
Jenny fires a rocket from her arm, much like a certain other armored heroine. Once fired, the missile can be guided by inputting a direction. But unlike Snake in Smash, Jenny isn't glued to one spot while it's out. Rocket can be guided while blocking and even while doing other moves. Jenny can fire a second rocket after the first one, but the second one will not be controllable while the first one is still active.

Robot Wings
8P / Up Special

I can recover for free!

Damage	Startup Frames	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
