Description

So, a bit of backstory to that one: In Smash Ultimate, I sometimes host battle arenas with a roolset that aims to simulate a wrestling match (Only Stage being the boxing ring, HP-Match with 250hp, no items, no stage hazards) sporting the fantastic name SMASHDOWN VS 'ROAR! (Incine-roar. Get it? Me neither.)

To my surprise, most players instantly get what I'm after and behave accordingly: Lots of taunts, focus on grabs, playing a char that sort of fits. You get the idea. I started off playing as Incineroar to better convey the idea, but sometime along the matches ditched him for Pika Libre. (As fun as Incineroar is to play, I need someone a little quicker on their feet, and since Greninja doesn't really fit the wrestling-bill that well...)

A usual contestor in these sort of matches is King K. Rool, whose dthrow is among the most hilarious moves in the game...and so my Pikachu tends to get headfirst stuck in the ground a bit.

If you're interested in joining some of those matches, I'll gladly be your host^^ (IF you have a somewhat stable connection)

A happy new year, everyone!
