Marco (Rave)

Marco (マルコ, Marco) is one of the main protagonists of the Metal Slug series and appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Rave.
He is voiced by Takenosuke Nishikawa, reprising his role from the Metal Slug series, as well as Neo Geo Battle Coliseum.
==Attributes==
Marco is a heavyweight with slow mobility on the ground and in the air. He is a projectile-based zoning character that can keep opponents away from him. He can also crawl.
He has a mechanic in which his neutral, side and up specials all use ammo, displayed via a counter above his damage meter. It can be refilled by using his down special, or if he is KO'd.
