==Summary==
Ruby Rose is classified as a Zoning type of character. She has an impressive ground game and air game. Ruby plays around using weapon techniques like using her Cresent Rose as her main source of weapon. Cresent Rose can transform into a certain weapon in some of Ruby's moveset. Her Forward Smash is a Projectile that she shoots at her opponents. Most of her Specials (Excluding Side and Down Special) can make her use the gun move as well. Her Back aerial can use the gun as well.
Ruby has good comboing, her Neutral attack is a good start up for it. Then she can perform a nice Dash Attack too. Forward ariel is a good tool after wards then  Down Aerial is a good finishing move.
Her Specials are very well made as well. Her Standard Special is Snipping Mode, which allows her to change Cresent Rose into a Rifle Gun and has fast projectiles to keep space around her opponents. The Projectiles are very fast and cause huge damage to her opponents.
Scarlet Blitz, her side special, can make her slash and blind opponents around her. It is also a nice recovery move for horizontal features around her. She also leaves Rose Petals from behind.
Proplusion Shot, her up special, is one of her main moves of recovery, which it is one of the best recoveries in the game. Ruby shoots downwards 3 times in a row with the last one shooting her high. It can also Meteor Smash her opponents.
Ghost Wolf, her down special, functions similar to Meta Knight's Dimmensional Cape and 's Fire Teleport. Which is a sneaky move when she wants to surprise her opponents with.
Ruby's flaws, however, are very severe, and one of them lies in her very poor recovery. Although it may be one of the best, it covers little horizontal distance and can be gimped by those with a reflector or when anyone can meteor smash her off the stage. Another problem with Ruby is that she is lightweighted can is easy to be KO'd off the stage. Players must becareful when using Ruby at high percentages, because there are heavyweight characters that has a rough KOing move like for example has High KOing moves and Ruby must avoid moves like that.
==Moveset==
Attack 	Name 	Damage 	Description
Neutral Attack 	 	5%, 5%, 8% 	Ruby Slashes downwards, then upwards and horizontally with Cresent Rose's Scythe form.
Side Tilt 	 	7% 	Does a swing forward.
Up Tilt 	 	8% 	Does an overwing swing.
Down Tilt 	 	5% 	Ruby swings his Cresent Rose downwards.
Dash Attack 	 	11% 	Slides along the ground to a halt and slams with the broad part of her Cresent Rose in front of her. Fast but easy to punish.
Side Smash 	 	16% (uncharged), 25% (fully charged)	Ruby transforms her Cresent Rose from a Scythe to a Gun and charges up and shoots the opponent.
Up Smash 	 	15% (uncharged), 20% (fully charged)	Ruby does a strong swing upwards.
Down Smash 	 	16% 	Ruby slams down her Cresent Rose.
Neutral Ariel 	 	5% 	Swings the Cresent Rose around herself in a wide arc.
Forward Ariel 	 	5% 	Ruby swings her scythe horizontally forward.
Back Ariel 	 	5% 	Shoots backwards launching her forward.
Up Ariel 	 	11% 	Pushes her cresent rose upwards, with one hand holding the base and the other holding the blade. Very fast and with long hitboxes in terms of duration.
Down Ariel 	 	10% 	Ruby swings her scythe downwards. It can also meteor smash.
Forward Throw 	 	3% 	Shoots the opponent in the face.
Back Throw 	 	3% 	Turns her upper body around and does a backwards kick.
Up Throw 	 	5% 	Hurls her opponent in the air and does a kick.
Down Throw 	 	7% 	Slams the opponent forcefully into the ground.
Neutral Special	Sniping Mode 	13% 	Ruby aims Crescent Rose using the gun part of it. While it's out, she doesn't slow down, though she can only do single jumps. You can angle her aim with the analog stick by moving it up and down. Pressing B shoots with Crescent Rose; the bullets are indeed pretty fast. While running, you can snag others with the blade part of the scythe/sniper rifle. You can swing them away by turning the other way (which is done by tapping the analog stick in the opposite direction). Pressing A reverts Ruby back to her normal stance. If you're knocked away, you can do this to snag the edge of the stage.
Side Special 	Scarlet Blitz 	20% 	Ruby charges forth after reloading Crescent Rose. Anyone near her will be slashed at, leaving rose petals in her wake as she runs. The more opponents she slashes, the more rose petals she leaves behind. They don't really do much aside from annoy you and get into your eyes, thus causing blindness. You can turn by tilting in the opposite direction (tapping does a back swing with Crescent Rose) and you can do single jumps.
Up Special 	Proplusion Shot	6% 	Ruby uses the gun part of Crescent Rose to propel herself. In the air, you can shoot 3 bullets in one go. The buildup time lets you choose the opposite direction you want Ruby to shoot in in order to either knock away the competition or assist in giving herself a boost up and/or then some. If you manage to do this while you use someone as a footstool and move the analog stick up, you'll perform a meteor smash.
Down Special 	Ghost Wolf 	7% 	Ruby throws her hood over and teleports, leaving behind a pile of rose petals. The way this works is similar to Meta Knight's Dimensional Cape except she does a slash that deals 7% damage automatically upon her reappearance. Anyone nearby Ruby as he throws her hood over is also swept into the teleportation, and is then shot in the head, which does more knockback and damage. The first few frames are also able to deflect projectiles (unfortunately not fully-powered ones).
Final Smash 	Red like Roses 	30% 	Ruby will turn the stage dark in the background with her Parts of her color Red like her Hair. Time slows down on her opponents and she can slash and shoot her opponents. Once its over the targetted opponents gets launched. A Cutscene happens she turns her Scythe into a Rifle and charges up fully before a flash happens and shoots out a large blast at the opponents damaging whoever she slashed the most.
Works similar to Infernal Climax from Bayonetta.
===Taunts===
*Side Taunt - Ruby swings her scythe around and brings her arm out saying "Come here!"
*Down Taunt - Twirls her Scythe around.
*Up Taunt - Turns around putting her Hood over then back taking it down.
