Buddy is wildly curious.

Buddy comes from a game called 'LISA: The Joyful', the third in a trilogy of games. In her universe, she is the only female alive, and from childhood, learned to defend herself. After a mysterious event called 'The Flash', all women disappeared, leaving society in a wreck. She is resourceful, even in the apocalypse, and is determined to not be held back by anyone or anything. She goes on a journey with Rando, a kind, muscular man, who aids her in battle, and Buzzo, a psycopathic gang leader with little to no sense of remorse. She's a megalomaniac obsessed with being the strongest so nobody can hold her down. Her moveset is based on the game's playstyle, which involves lots of running and climbing, so she has great mobility. She is a bit vulnerable offstage, but her specials make up for this.

Nspecial - [Firebomb] A moltov that sets enemies on fire, great for racking up damage.
Uspecial- [Rando's Assistance] Buddy hops on Rando's back as he uses his legs to push upward. You can act out of this move, but it can only be used once in the air. (Walljumps and getting hit resets this). Rando is invincible during startup.
Dspecial - [Dynamite] Buddy places down a bundle of dynamite which can hit both enemies and herself. It can be detonated by pressing dspecial or with fstrong or a moltov.
Fspecial- [Throat Lunge] Buddy stabs forward, and if it hits, a circle closes in. Pressing special when the circles overlap will have Buddy do a critical hit, sending farther.
*Other things* Jab and Ftilt function the same, and dair sends Buddy down at an angle.

[SPECIAL BOSS MODE] Choose the Big Lincoln skin on a lvl 9 cpu to see some real action, based off of the hardest boss in the game- Big Lincoln.

Thanks to Fespadea for helping me put my ideas into action, and Dunkelschwamm for the sprite rips.

I will try to keep Buddy balanced! Feedback is welcome.

Supports: Trum & Alto, Hikaru, Kirby, The Chosen One, Otoo, Feri, Toon Link, Mt. Dedede Stadium, Soulbound Conflict, Dracula, Daroach, The Trial Grounds, and Wall-E

Actually also buff forward aerial because it's not very useful, maybe with more knockback, or hitstun

Played with for a good while, good moveset, not very problematic conceptually but in my findings changes like these would be good:

- Side Special can be cancelled if pressed twice in succession, you can theoretically do an infinite at low percents and get them to around 100% consistently. Should not be cancellable.
- Down Special needs a cooldown, and a bit smaller of an explosion radius; too good for stage control and can be spammed.

In terms of buffs:
- Strong attacks need more knockback, and maybe another of her aerials; has no decent killing moves aside from up air.
