Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x Sports Balls

X   
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x Sports Balls is a crossover between Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Fighters Pass and various balls used in sports or athletic activites. As part of the Fighters Pass, more content will be added through paid downloadable content. This content will include the new fighter, Basketball, new spirits, several new music tracks, one new stage to play on, and a new Classic Mode route that can be taken by only Basketball.
This page was made by TheWikiOddish to collaborate with the other fanon Fighters Pass characters, Basketball being the 57th character as of the making of the page.
==What Is Sports?==
Wow, uh...this may take too long. That's kind of a loaded question. The entire history of sports is kinda complicated, though basketballs can be explained!
The game of basketball is usually set up between two teams of five players. The main object of the game is a basketball, a ball usually made out of rubber or leather. Players score points by getting the basketball into a hoop atop a pole, two of which are located on the two ends of the rectangular-shaped court.
==Challenger Pack==
As part of this Challenger Pack, the fighter Basketball joins the battle!
===Fighter #57: Basketball===

Basketball
===Basketball Moveset===
Gimmick: Air Flow
Basketball's main gimmick is known as Air Flow. During battle, Basketball will have a meter by it's health percentage that includes a red, green, and blue zone.
At the beginning of a battle, Basketball starts at the green zone, the very center of the meter. Depending on how you act, the meter will move to the red or the blue. If you attack often and are unhit for some time, the meter will turn to blue, giving Basketball a slight boost in attack power and speed. If you take a lot of damage and don't attack enough, the meter will turn to red, giving Basketball a slight decrease in attack power and speed. The meter resets to the center once Basketball is KOed.
* = Neutral Attack: Rolls forward violently, hitting once. Similar to Ganondorf's Neutral Attack.
* → = Forward Tilt: Rolls forward, doing three hits of multi-hit damage.
* ↑ = Up Tilt: Bounces upward, hitting opponents above. Can string into itself.
* ↓ = Down Tilt: Rolls in a circle forward, doing five hits of multi-hit damage.
*→  = Dash Attack: Bounces and rolls forward, hitting three times.
* →→ = Forward Smash: Charges itself and goes flying forward, hitting in front of it. The attack sends Basketball a fair distance in front of it, so don't use it by a ledge or you might go flying.
* ↑↑ = Up Smash: Deflates while charging and then inflates upward for a giant upward hit.
* ↓↓ = Down Smash: Charges itself, then spinning in a circle for a large multi-hit move. Similar to Peach's Down Smash.
* in the air = Neutral Air: Spins, propelling opponents away. The same as Sonic's Neutral Air.
*→ in the air = Forward Air: Spins forward midair, doing damage to those in front of it.
*← in the air = Back Air: Releases air from itself, doing damage while also creating a slight windbox.
*↑ in the air = Up Air: Releases air from itself, propelling it upward. This can give Basketball a little more height, making it a viable recovery option.
*↓ in the air = Down Air: Releases air from itself, hitting opponents down and also creating a slight windbox. Acts as a meteor-smash move.
* = Grab: Swings a basketball hoop forward, grabbing opponents.
* during grab = Pummel: Bounces into the grabbed opponent.
*→ during grab = Forward Throw: Spins the net hoop and then throws the opponent.
*← during grab = Back Throw: Performs a Behind-The-Back with the net hoop and then bumps the opponent.
*↑ during grab = Up Throw: Performs a Jump Shoot with the net hoop, sending the opponent in an upward-forward direction.
*↓ during grab = Down Throw: Holds the net hoop up, allowing the opponent to fall face-first into the ground through the hoop, doing damage.
* = Shuffle: Bounces back and forth repeatedly, doing damage to opponents around it. When the B Button is held, the move gets faster, bouncing left and right more repeatedly. However, if the move is used for too long or too much, then the Air Flow meter will start to move into red, decreasing the moves attack power and speed.
* → = Bounce Pass: A chargebale move that allows Basketball to bounce forward in the direction it is facing. When Basketball jumps during this move, the jumps do damage. When charged weakly, Basketball bounces a short distance but with high jumps. When charged in the middle, Basketball will go a medium distance with medium jumps. When charged fully, Basketball will go a long distance with short jumps.
* ↑ = Over the Head: Spins in midair and then shoots in a directed direction that is chosen by the player. Basketball can either go upward diagonally left or right or just straight upward.
* ↓ = Up and Under: Jumps upward before zooming in a downward curve, rolling across the stage in a similar manner to Sonic's Spin Dash move.
*= Final Smash: Athlete Within. Basketball zooms forward, hitting opponents in front of it. If an opponent is captured, a cinematic will play where a ton of different sports objects will fly at the captured opponent, doing damage. Basketball will then give the final blow, hitting the opponent straight on with fiery power.

===New Stage: Smashketball Court===
The new stage that comes with the fighter Basketball is the Smashketball Court. The stage is set up as a completely flat platform with two basketball hoops at the left and right of the stage. There are no major stage hazards, though there is a new way of KOing through the hoops. If you successfully meteor-smash an opponent into a hoop, they will be KOed and you can either get a +1 (in Time Mode) or an extra stock (in Stock Mode or Stamina Mode).
===Classic Mode Route===
Basketball's Challenger Pack comes with an exclusive Classic Mode Route that Basketball can go through. The route consists of battles against enemies, a bonus stage, and a boss stage.

==Trivia==
*Tables and inspiration by Exotoro, EnderLegends, IncarnateParanoia, Pokerninja2, TechnoTigzon, & Somebody495! :)
*The page was originally intended as a Joke Article, though TheWikiOddish eventually got interested in the project and it was eventually made into a real article.
*The page was originally going to be called Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x Balls, though this sounded weird and TheWikiOddish didn't want it to be confused with the historically archived "Balls" article.
*The idea actually stemmed from a strange dream that TheWikiOddish had about various inanimate objects getting into Smash not relating to games. Out of the many that were included, Basketball seemed the most interesting out of them.
*No, TheWikiOddish does not know anything about basketball or most of any sports for that matter. Please don't go to him for help or knowledge on sports. He does not play any. He only did minutes of research for all of this in order to make it.
*This is the first SSBU DLC pack by TheWikiOddish that doesn't contain a Mii Costume relating to the Fighter in the pass.
