Clippy

Clippy is the fifth character in Lawl Assault. 
== Entrance ==
=== Greeting ===
Clippy's note body unfolds and the clip cycles onto it in the shape on a bicycle. 
== Playstyle Origin ==
Clippy often pops up providing helpful advice and asks for assistance to help the computer user with situations they may not know how to handle. Because of this, his special moves can make adapting to his playstyle more straight forward although some moves like his aerial attacks and special moves are a bit slow compared to his ground attacks. As a thin metal wire, he is a lightweight fighter. 
== Special Moves ==
=== Neutral B- Would you like help? ===
Clippy grabs his note and starts writing on it. When concluded, a lightbulb will appear above his head once. Clippy equips this lightbulb and is free to throw it as it slowly flies towards that one direction. It slightly stuns whoever it hits, if anyone. You can also hold B to create a longer lasting stun. However, if the supposed victim attacks the projectile first, they will be stunned for longer giving Clippy more time to attempt a modification of the former move. As Clippy, if you press B while the target is stunned, a popup is shown above his head with the following message: 
"It looks like you're attempting an attack. Would you like help?"
Below this text, you will be given 3 options: 
1. "Get help with attacking"
2. "Just attack without help"
3. "Cancel"
Both player can decide on if the stunned fighter's move gets either modified or left otherwise. As Clippy, pressing A or B will select the first option which modifies the previous move. If Clippy successfully manages to overthrow the opponent, their move gets modified. A caution icon will appear above their head if that's the case. The specific changes of the move are more framerate, less knockback and damage and huge endlag as their marked move concludes leaving it at possible risk. These nerfs last for 15 seconds and up to 2 moves and get modified at a time. Meanwhile, the stunned fighter's objective is to cancel the move before the player controlling Clippy manages to modify the respective move. Mashing either button will cancel the move. "Just attack without help" cancels the nerf. Of course, if Clippy fails the modification, the victim is released but also thrown down to the ground with no change. If a second opponent attacks either fighter during the selection process, Clippy's move will be cancelled. Shielding is another way to cancel the move. 
=== Side B- Shape Shifting Tornado ===
Clippy turns into a controllable tornado. In this move, windboxes are used to pull in nearby opponents and projectiles. When grabbed, victims will be flung backwards until the end of the move. The windbox radius may be big and strong enough to absorb things but the grab range is small and lasts for about 3 frames. Any projectiles caught in the tornado will be thrown forwards reducing their damage to 5%. Unfortunately, Clippy can still be caught by traps. If this move is used too frequently, the spin can get you dizzy which leaves Clippy with an opening. 
=== Up B- Paper Airplane ===
Clippy hops onto a paper airplane he just created and flies up and pops out before dropping down as he appears out of thin air. Before launching, Clippy can change his flying direction. As he flies away, he can swiftly pierce opponents in his direction so that when he reappears, he will drop into freefall with a chance to slam on them during his drop. The teleport space is lower than the flight depth. Airborne enemies will take more knockback when in contact with the airplane. The start-up has more frame data, but it can be shortened if B is continuously pressed. In that case, knockback will be increased although the flight will be lower than usual. 
=== Down B- Animate! ===
A popup with options "Choose Assistant..." and "Animate!" summons another office assistant onto the stage.
If "Choose Assistant..." was selected, you can actually choose who will be summoned. Use the D-pad to select your assistant of choice and then confirm with B. The assistant will have their own entrance then stay idle for 20 seconds. Press Down B again and they will perform their respective attack before leaving. After that, Clippy can select another assistant as only one can be in play at a time. 
If you chose "Animate!", the assistant will be summoned randomly and automatically perform their attack. 
Here are the 6 assistants that can come to Clippy's aid: 
* The Dot: Spins across the stage, jumps up and transforms into a work of art crashing into fighters.
* F1: A small ball hovers around F1 and gets inside him which causes F1 to jitter around and self-destruct, causing a small explosion. 
* The Genius: A trashcan is brought out as The Genius experiments with it which explodes, sending a fiery flame upwards, launching fighter in the air. 
* Office Logo: Spread its puzzle pieces and spins around, moving across the stage and then ends by an attempt to crunch on a random fighter for a second.
* Links: A cat that grabs an opponent, claws down and slashes them back leaving the victim to be stunned afterwards.
* Rocky: A file pops behind this dog which he burns to ashes with a flamethrower. The scorching file also does some damage when touched. If the burnt file isn't touched, it'll stay on stage. It brittles if another assistant is summoned or after 20 seconds. 
=== Final Smash- Revenge of the paperclip ===
A series of mouse pointers, arrows and hourglasses fly quickly across the screen. Shortly during this, a small group of pointers ambush the opponent will the least amount of damage, trapping them so Clippy can prepare for the final blow: As he approaches the victim, he grabs hold of them and they will hit the screen, usually resulting in a KO. After the KO, the screen is left with an angry Clippy for a second. 
=== KO Sounds ===
N/A
=== Taunts ===
Up Taunt: Zooms his head closer to the camera. 
Side Taunt: Puts on his headphones before removing them. 
Down Taunt: "How's life? All work and no play?"
== Victory Pose/Lose Pose ==
* Option 1: Clippy's clip turns into a bicycle which cycles away on his notepaper. 
* Option 2: Lies back and rests on his notepaper. 
* Option 3: Clippy's clip turns into glasses as he reads his notepaper from top to bottom. 
* Lose Pose- Clippy's clip folds into a lump on top of his notepaper.
