Gunvolt (Rave)

Gunvolt (ガンヴォルト, Gunvolt) is the main protagonist of the Azure Striker Gunvolt series and appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Rave.
He is voiced by Josh Keller in English and Kaito Ishikawa in Japanese, with the former reprising his role from the English dub of Azure Striker Gunvolt: The Anime while the latter reprises his role from the main series.
==Attributes==
Gunvolt is a middleweight with fast mobility on the ground and in the air. A majority of his moves involve projectiles from his gun, the Dart Leader, although he also has some physical attacks. His moves can tag opponents three times, making them more sustainable to damage from his neutral special. He can also wall cling.
He has a fighter ability called the EP Gauge. It is a meter that depletes each time his neutral or side specials are used, although it is refilled over time. It can also be refilled by pressing the shield and special buttons simultaneously. If he reaches 100% or 30% or less in stamina battles, Joule appears next to, granting an additional jump, as well as boosting his attacks.
