Tails

—–

Tails has a very aerial focused playstyle, oriented towards taking opponents out for long strings of aerials and specials in the air. His Neutral and Down Specials use some of his gadgets that he’s made as long ranged options. Take flight with your Forward and Up Specials to chase after and follow up your opponents!

Tails pulls out one of his gadgets to fire off an electric projectile at opponents. Inflicts brief stun on hit. If fired in the air, it will be shot at a downward arc that ricochets off the ground.

Tails dives forward with open arms. If Tails comes in contact with someone, he’ll grab them and kick them upward. Is useful as both a horizontal recovery option as well as an offensive tool. Goes into pratfall if whiffed, so be careful.

Tails’ trademark ability takes form as his Up Special! With this move, Tails can ascend upward by holding or mashing the Special button. After a while, he’ll go into pratfall after getting tired. While flying, you can cancel the move into any of his aerials: if you hit someone with that aerial, you can avoid pratfall to keep the string of aerials going!

Tails pulls out his Remote Robot gadget from his very own game, Tails Adventure. Once thrown, this robot will travel at an arc, and once it lands, it will walk back and forth on the stage. If it comes in close contact with an opposing player, it will jump upward and explode! Opponents can get rid of it by hitting Remote Robot with any attack, so be careful.

Hitting Remote Robot with Neutral Special will cause it to instantly explode with a strong hitbox.
Touching Remote Robot with Forward Special will cause Tails to pick it up and throw it as a projectile!

Some of Tails’ normals also have unique attributes to them.

Tails slides forward. Can go off ledges. On hit, you can jump-cancel it.

A powerful uppercut using one of Tails’ gadgets. Has a sweetspot at the tip of the fist.

Uniquely, Tails cannot perform a DACUS (Dash Attack Cancel Up Smash) with this move. However, by jump-canceling Down Tilt on hit, you can cancel into Up Strong, gaining a lot of speed!
