Character Sheet: Pyoro

PYORO

Today, let's begin our short-run of manga-based (and one Wario Ware) characters. I should note that many characters from Wario Ware also received upgrades to their movesets. For instance, 5-Volt gained her astrally-projected monster side as an Up B, and Penny Crygor incorporated her water pack for at least two moves, breaking her away from being an echo fighter for her grandfather. Other than that, here's our newcomers!

1. Mario-Kun

2. Tomboy Peach

3. Mechakuribo

4. Pyoro

With the premiere of Wario Ware: Get It Together, we saw all of our favorite Wario Ware developers get the chance to be playable in their microgames by getting sucked in. And, spoiler alert, Pyoro, the hero of the video game series Wario started his company to compete with in the first place, came to join the fun. In the game, he first takes the form of a monstrous final boss, sending his eyes forward and flying back and forth to attack. After revealing himself, he becomes a playable character in his own right, using his extendable tongue to reach out and grab things. Take this, and top it off with everything Pyoro has done with his mini-games before, including extending his tongue, spitting seeds at high speed, flying, and stretching his beak, I think we have a clear case.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Tongue Grab

His most iconic attack, he will extend out his tongue, similar to Yoshi, snagging a character and pulling them in closer to combo into.

Side B: Seed Spitter

He will fire seeds rapidly from his mouth as projectiles, sorta like a machine gun, but, you know, with seeds.

Up B: Flight

He will flap his wings with heavy effort, raising himself a short way off the ground slowly, pulling from his original inability to fly.

Down B: Golden Watering Can

Based on the item the Wario Ware developers had to assemble in order to defeat him, he will pull out the watering can and sprinkle in on the ground. A first sprinkle will cause a leaf to sprout. A second sprinkle will make it bulk up. The third will cause it to shoot straight into the air as a beanstalk, launching anyone too close.

Final Smash: Boss Battle

He will take on the boss form he transformed into in Get It Together, moving to the side of the stage and mostly reenacting his actions from the fight, charging forward, sending out a bunch of eyeballs, and biting at the characters.

Entrance: He will flutter in a video game 8-bit form.

Taunt: Up, he will extend his tongue and grab a seed out of the air, eating it. Side, he will flap his wings and rise for a second. Down, he will sit and play his own video game.
