Spongebob Squarepants (Character)

Spongebob Squarepants is a character in Nicktoons: Slimetime Splatter. He was one of the first four characters (alongside Timmy Turner, Jimmy Neutron, and Danny Phantom) to be confirmed, and the first overall to get a moveset. 
==Attributes==
As an icon for Cartoons in general, Spongebob is an all-rounder and among the easiest characters to pick up. His heavy focus on combos and confirms, alongside his squash-n-stretch nature make him a bit difficult to pin-down, but his range is lacking compared to other Nicktoons, forcing him to get close for significant damage.
His appearance is based off of his design in the main Spongebob series, with no noticeable difference. His Krusty Krab hat appears in his Even Numbered recolors.
==Moveset ==
===Ground Attacks===
Attack 	Name 	Description 	Base Damage
Light Jab 	KARATE! 	Spongebob pulls out one of his Karate gloves, and performs a basic slice. Comes out at frame 5, and knocks the opponent straight upwards, making it combo into any of his faster moves. 	3%
Heavy Jab 	KAH-RAH-TAY! 	Spongebob pulls out one of his Karate gloves, and performs a heavy slice. While another slow jab, it has next to no end-lag, making it nearly fully safe on shield, and shifts his hurtbox, allowing him to dodge and counter certain attacks.	9%
Up Tilt 	Woo! 	Spongebob raises his hands in a somewhat celebratory way. A simple combo starter and a slight anti-air. Its small range may make it work best as an out-of-shield option. 	5%
Down Tilt 	Squeaky Sweep 	A legsweep. It can scoop opponents from the ledge, meaning it can combo at any percent under MAX%. 	7%
Dash Attack	Stomp on Your Right Foot!	Spongebob dashes forward really far, and really fast. It is his only notable burst option, but the first hit is quite weak, and won't combo into the second hit until later percents. 	4% (first hit), 6% (second hit)
===Aerial Attacks===
Attack 	Name 	Description 	Base Damage
Neutral Air	Square Up 	Spongebob performs another cheer. It deals more damage during the first few frames. 	7% (early), 5% (late)
Forward Air	Jellyfishing 	Spongebob pulls out his jellyfishing net to attack his opponents. It's his slowest and laggiest aerial, but makes up for it with long range and great knockback. 	14%
Back Air 	Pulling Your Leg	Spongebob pulls his leg out behind him. It's his least laggy and most spammable aerial, albeit being one of his weakest. It can combo into itself at certain percents, and can auto-cancel from a short hop. 	9%
Up Air 	Imagination 	Spongebob creates a rainbow from his hands. A multi-hit attack, its main purpose is to pressure opponents on platforms. It works great as a combo extender, as the early hits will drag the opponent down for another follow up.	10% (total)
Down Air 	Wring Out 	Spongebob wrings himself to perform a simple spike. It's mainly used for early off-stage kills. 	13%
===Splat Attacks===
Attack 	Name 	Description 	Base Damage
Up Splat 	Rinse Cycle	Spongebob hops to performs . It serves more as a secondary anti-air as its knockback isn't as strong as other splats. 	13%
Side Splat	Eat This! 	Spongebob leans back and then extends himself forward with a Krabby Patty in hand. It's both his strongest Normal, with good range and a sweet spot on the Krabby Patty.	15% (arm), 21% (patty)
Down Splat	Leg Up 	Spongebob pulls his legs out to attack those nearby. It's his quickest, coming out at frame 8, but also his weakest. 	12%
===Throws===
Attack 	Name 	Description 	Base Damage
Forward Throw	The Washing Machine	Spongebob spins around with his opponent, before throwing them forward. 	9%
Back Throw 	Over the Shoulder 	Spongebob simply tosses the opponent behind him. 	4%
Up Throw 	Order Up! 	Spongebob tosses the opponent up with his trusty Spatula. Up Throw functions as Spongebob's main combo throw, being able to combo into moves like Up Air until MAX.	5%
Down Throw 	Porous Pavement 	Spongebob tosses the opponent down. Functions like Up Throw, but sends them behind him as opposed to in front of him. 	5%
===Specials===
Attack 	Name 	Description 	Base Damage
Neutral Special	Bubble Blowin' 	Spongebob blows a bubble. It can create openings for Spongebob to follow up on, or can be jumped on for an additional boost in the air. Opponents near Spongebob when he blows it will also be trapped in it. If Spongebob is quick enough, he can get a free follow up. It also functions with his Sidestep, which turns the Bubble around. 	5%
Side Special 	Patty Flip 	Spongebob uses his spatula to flip Opponents in the other direction. Alone, that's all it does, being unable to reflect projectiles like Mario's Cape. However, when paired with Down Special, it has much more of a purpose. Any move that it counters will make add a Patty to this move, with the same damage and knockback that you countered. It travels in an arc, but can be angled like Yoshi's Eggs. If Down Special tanked a projectile, however, it will launch the projectile back at them!	Spatula does no damage, Patty damage dependent on countered attack.
Up Special 	Inflatable Pants	Spongebob uses his Inflatable Pants from "The Sponge Who Could Fly" to propel himself forward. It has a hitbox when starting, but Spongebob is open throughout the move's duration. 	2%
Down Special 	Absorbency 	Spongebob puffs his chest up for a bit. It works like your usual counter, attacking Spongebob while he uses this move results in him pushing them back (with low knockback and no damage). Works best with Side Special, although it can only store one move at a time. 	0%
===Slimetimes===
Level 	Name 	Description 	Base Damage
Level 1	Feeding Frenzy 	Spongebob pulls out his grill and spatula to launch 8 Krabby Patties at his opponent, with an additional one that heals him 5%. It almost never kills, so it's best used to rack up damage or position someone for an edgeguard.	4% (each patty), 32% (total)
Level 2	Goofy Goober Rock	Spongebob dons his wizard costume from the first movie, and attacks an opponent with a powerful beam. Unlike Feeding Frenzy, this one has much more killing potential. 	44%
