Señor (Senor)

Señor doesn’t really want to fight. He just wants to have a good time. Please don’t attack Señor.

Señor is a heavy brawler with burst movement and technical recovery options. He excels at tech-chasing, option coverage and stage control, but his big body and fast fall speed make him easy to combo.

Strengths:
1. Heavy
2. Strong burst options
3. Good option coverage
4. Active hitboxes
5. Smash-like moveset
6. Simple, straight-forward normal attacks with good hitboxes
7. Potentially combo-breaking aerials

Weaknesses:
1. Big body, fast fall speed
2. Lower movement speed
3. Recovery is technical, requires good fundamentals

Señor excels at forcing tech situations and covering multiple options with burst movement or active hitboxes. Some of his moves that have more endlag also can jump or attack cancel on hit, meaning they can link into other options to extend combos, particularly vertically.

Señor relies on his neutral special, the pill bug, to help supplement his recovery and extend combos in the air. The pill-bug can be angled up or down, and angling it up in the air gives him even more vertical momentum. Grabbing the bug with side-special grants a significant vertical boost in addition to restoring wall jump and double-jump. Using down special on the pill bug sends it flying, increasing its knockback and damage.

These tricks, coupled with aerial down-special restoring jump, result in a technical but rewarding variety of recovery mix-ups, making him much harder to edge-guard than it appears at a glance.

Grabbing Señor’s bug from the air refreshes his double-jump, making it possible to grab multiple times (up to 3). This can be performed a couple of ways, but perhaps the easiest is fast-falling immediately after inputting neutral special. It may take a little practice, but it’s a valuable mix-up.

Aerial down-special refreshes Señor’s double-jump, making it possible to use more than once offstage.

Señor’s dash attack has a stronger early hit good for knocking enemies offstage, and a weaker late hit good for starting combos.

Some of Señor’s moves (down special, down tilt) can be jump-cancelled or interrupted with another move on-hit. Try linking them together to extend your combos!

Senor’s down special can also interact with the bug, sending it flying in the same direction!
