About

Just your average Joe. Not to be confused with a kangaroo.

Playstyle

Rocko is a zoner, and an amazing one at that. While most characters are content getting in your face and getting their combos in, Rocko's not about that life: he'd rather summon Spunky and Jack(the)Hammer using his special attacks and attacking when you least expect it. Rocko possesses amazing stage control abilities and can wall you out better than most. In addition, he has some nasty strong attacks for securing the stock when he's walled you out long enough.

If you like sitting back and controlling the pace of the match, Rocko is the wallaby for you!

Strengths

Weaknesses

Defensive Beast: Rocko has some of the best defensive tools in the game and can control the pace of the match to his content. This is a great contrast to other strong characters in this game who are more offensive than defensive, and makes Rocko a very puzzling character to fight for some players.
Zoning: Spunky and Jackhammer are some of the best zoning tools in the game. Spunky in particular can be thrown to throw players off your scent.
Small: Rocko is a short little guy. This means in addition to his wall of projectiles, he is also not the easiest character to hit.
Fantastic get off mes: Rocko has fantastic aerials and normals to push his opponent away from him if they do happen to get in.
Amazing strong attacks: The majority of Rocko's strong attacks are all fast and kill early. In addition, Neutral Strong has a windbox, so even if your opponent blocks, you can pressure them safely.
Safe: Rocko's biggest strength. A majority of his toolkit is very easy to use and will keep the opponent at bay for the whole match.

Not many combos: Don't be mistaken, Rocko has some combos, many of which are great, but if you're looking for a particularly flashy character that has strong offensive prowess, you might as well go to the left and pick Tigre instead.
Light: While Rocko can live for a while due to his safe wall setups, he is quite easy to swat when you eventually do get in on him.
Buggy: Rocko is occasionally plagued with nasty glitches depending on the patch. This can either alter how he plays significantly or just be a minor problem.

Unusually launches opponents behind Rocko, which may make it a surprise reversal option out of the corner. Also keep in mind when using as a burst option.

"THE ABDOMINAL SNOWMONKEY!"

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	4	2, 8	0	-0
Rocko swings his rolling pin in a circle around him. The initial hit is on frames 4-5, and hits in front of and below Rocko. It has a more vertical launch angle than the late hit. The late hit is on frames 6-14, and covers a wide arc behind Rocko below, behind, and even above him, going from the ground to above a platform at shorthop height. It has about a 45 degree launch. Active frames end before the pin reaches straight above Rocko, leaving a blindspot diagonally above and in front of him Because of the disjointed range, wide arc, and active frames of neutral air, it's the go to spacing move for Rocko, especially since his other light aerials don't have huge hitboxes. The motion effect as of version 1.1 is currently bugged and does not always display correctly, do not use it as a visual reference when spacing

SHUT UP!
Strong

"You cheap little rotter!"

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	0	0-0	0	-0
Very good range (almost as long as a stage platform) and kill power. Has windboxes at the end of its range that may or may not come in handy. Colloquially known as "Joe Biden"

Family's Pogo Stick
Up+Strong

"Time to face to music Heff..."

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	0	0-0	0	-0
Unusual for an up strong as it launches Rocko into a high jump. There is a powerful initial hit, and weaker hits while ascending and falling. Rocko can drift freely left or right on the pogo stick to mixup where he lands. The move recovers in the air if you fall farther than your initial ground level (i.e. use off a platform and drift off the side).

Maintenance Hammer
Down+Strong

"Prepare to feel my wrath!"

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	0	0-0	0	-0
Most situational of Rocko's ground strongs. Powerful spike if hit, and at a VERY specific spacing can hit ledgehangs.

Special Attacks

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	0	0-0	0	-0
Rocko sends out Spunky, who bites any opponent in his way. Press neutral special while Spunky is out to command him to turn around. Tip: you can grab Spunky and redirect him with your throws! When Spunky runs around on his own, he has a detection box that tells him to pounce when it touches an enemy. If Spunky is grabbed and thrown, he is a constant hitbox instead.

Suck-O-Matic
Forward+Special

"It's got a mind of it's own!"

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	0	0-0	0	-0
Rocko hops on the Suck-O-Matic, an automatic vacuum that pulls opponents in and then launches them away. The non-slime version rockets Rocko forward continuously. Press a button to cancel this move at any time while it's active. Not a command grab. Sadly.

Jackhammer
Down+Special

"Ride em', Heff!"

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	0	0-0	0	-0
Rocko pulls out his jackhammer, which bounces on the ground repeatedly, dealing damage. Tip: combine Spunky with the Jackhammer to have it move even faster! PATCHED OUT AS OF VERSION 1.3: When Spunky is riding the jackhammer, you can spawn a second Spunky separate from the first.

Conglom-O Rocket
Up+Special

"900 bazillion bottles of root beer..."

Damage	Startup	Active Frames	Total Frames	Safety
00%	0	0-0	0	-0
Rocko grabs a rocket and flies up, then quickly plummets diagonally. This move is extremely easy to accidentally reverse. Input Diagonally Up + Special to avoid SDing offstage.
