John Egbert

:
John Egbert is the second character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.
==Character Description==
John Egbert is one of the main characters of Homestuck, where he and his friends play a game on his thirteenth birthday that holds major consequences for the fate of the world. He is very lighthearted and energetic, always enjoying a good prank on his friends. He has a peculiar taste for bad movies, and in particular loves Nicolas Cage in Con Air. He's also quite selfless.
==Moveset==
===Playstyle===
While not being as honed as a fighter as the other Beta kids, John relies on powerful tools like his hammers, his sylladex and his alchemized items in battle. John can hit hard with his hammer and keep his foes at a safe range, however without accounting for the movement of his foes he can leave himself wide open. He does well at being able to keep foes at just the right distance away through wind gusts or reckless hammer swings, while also collecting items or traps from foes to fuel his own projectiles.

=== Special moves ===
Attack 	Name 	Description
Standard special	John's Sylladex	John uses his overly-complicated Sylladex to captalougue things in front of him or items he's holding, including physical traps and physical projectiles. When not in front of items he call pull one out of his stack and place it back with B. He can only hold 3 items, and attempting to grab another will cause the bottom item to be thrown forward.
He can switch between Stack and Queue Modus by holding B. Stack Modus only allows the top item to be thrown, with the bottom item dealing minimal damage. Queue Modus locks out the item on top, however when the bottom item is launched it will do higher damage. (ex. a Home Run bat would do 28% damage)
Side special 	Pogo Hammer 	John charges up his Green Slime Pogo Hammer by slamming it back and forth on the ground. You can use the analog stick to aim which way he'll be fly out and slam it down, and the move is chargeable (full charge is shown by green ghosts surrounding John). A full charge will also break shields on hit and charging will still deal damage if opponents get close, however during the charge projectiles will stop John.
John can also use this move in the air to recovery.
Up special 	Rocket Pack 	John gains a boost upwards with his Rocket Pack. You can change the angle he goes before liftoff and can cancel the move with B mid-flight. Cancelling the move mid-flight will put John into freefall.
Down special 	The Windy Thing	John summons a gust of wind that will flip opponents in front of him and blow them forward, while pushing away any projectiles and traps away (non-physical projectiles are simply stopped). Opponents further away will simply be slowed down as they try to push through the wind.
This special does no damage, however it has an invisible cooldown to prevent spam.
Final Smash 	Heir of Breath 	John transforms into his God Tier and attacks the stage with tornadoes and gusts of wind. Tapping B will spawn the tornadoes and tapping A will spawn gusts of wind. Only the tornadoes deal damage.
Throughout the attack John will be protected by a giant tornado, which will suck up opponents and toss them out when the Final Smash ends, in either 10 seconds or when all opponents are KOed.

==Trivia==
*John shares a few parallels in his moveset with Lawl Nova's Jade:
**Both use their Sylladex as a Neutral B (Stack and Queue, Pictionary)
**Both use their Strife weapon with a unique attribute as a Side B (Hammerkind and Riflekind)
**Both have a boosting Up B (Rocket Pack and Iron Lass Suit)
**Both use their God Tiers as their Final Smash (Heir of Breath and Witch of Space)
*John's official render was changed during Viola's moveset, matching his style with the Hero Mode art style from Homestuck much like Karkat.
