Today, let's cover Mr. L! I ultimately elected against doing whole separate slots for Paper Luigi, Paper Peach, Paper Bowser, and so on, as those would be superfluous and there wasn't enough there to justify their creations, so for Luigi at least, this is as close as he gets. Mr. L is a major villain in Super Paper Mario, one of Count Bleck's minions. He is mysterious, always hiding his identity behind a mask, and I, for one, have honestly no idea who he could possibly be. Do you?

I elected to make him an echo fighter of Luigi, as (although I'm not entirely certain of any sort of connection between them) in person he fights very similarly to the way Luigi moves around in game, so it makes sense. The major differences between them is Mr. L's giant Brobot robot, which he uses to fly around in space and attack you with missiles and lasers and such (basically, a really great Final Smash).

Here is his moveset:

Standard B: Ice Flower
Based on the Ice Flower item in the Paper Mario games.

Side B: Boomerang

Up B: Super Jump

Down B: POW Block

Final Smash: Brobot
The Brobot will appear on one side of the screen, firing a number of lasers and missiles, before ultimately finishing you off with his super suction.

Entrance: Jumps onto the stage and poses.

Taunts: His flashy poses throughout the game.

Next up: Let's cover Geno! (Wouldn't it just be stupid if Nintendo shadowdropped a Direct with a Geno reveal before I uploaded tomorrow. Come on, Nintendo! Your timing has been impeccable so far. Throw me for a loop one more time! I dare you.)
