Crustle is a heavyweight fighter who specializes in controlling a large amount of space with its control over the earth. While they are certainly a slow fighter who can’t really stay in the air at all, Crustle more than makes up for it with their simple to understand repertoire of powerful attacks.


Crustle swipes up with one of his claws to summon a massive spike out of the earth. Functionally identical to Regigigas’ Nspecial, this attack creates a large, stationary projectile on the ground in front of you that can be used to defend yourself against other projectiles or to start combos at a mid-ranged distance. The spike created from this will spawn on the ground in front of your location no matter what, whether that space is on the ground below you while you’re airborne or if it’s a nearby wall

Crustle rears up before slashing both claws forward in a cross shape. A fast, simple burst movement option with decent range that is generally useful for challenging opponents who get too close to you. Can be canceled into Utilt on hit for a quick combo extension or potential kill confirm

Crustle leaps into the air before crashing down into the ground in a childish rage, creating a large shockwave around them. Functionally similar to DK’s Down Special in Smash, Dtilt covers a large chunk of space around you and can be held to loop the initial slam motion for as long as you hold the attack button.

Crustle Sprawls out before dropping rapidly to the ground, creating a shockwave as they land. Dair is a fairly conventional stall and fall move that leads into a slightly smaller, albeit slightly stronger, version of Dtilt upon hitting the ground. You can cancel out of the falling portion of the move with a jump, wall jump, or Uair after falling for 32 frames, potentially allowing you to save yourself if you accidentally do it too far off stage.
