Meat Boy (EFC)

Meat Boy is a starting character in Epic Fight: Commencement.
==Overview==
===Origin===
Meat Boy's first appearance was in Meat Boy, a flash game on Newgrounds. His first canon appearance was in Super Meat Boy in 2010. In the game, his girlfriend, Bandage Girl, was kidnapped by the evil Dr. Fetus. He uses his powers of immortality to pass through danger. In the 2019 game Super Meat Boy: Forever, he and Bandage Girl have a daughter named Nugget.
===In Game===
Meat Boy ranks 10th/20 on the official Epic Fight: Commencement tier list, placing in the top half of the C tier. Meat Boy is very fast, within the top 5 run speeds. He has a very good air game, having the fastest air speed of all characters. He can utilize many true combos involving repeated aerials. He has a very safe recovery that makes him invincible for a majority of it's time. Good players know how to avoid damage. Meat Boy can also jump higher if he's been running for a while, but can use his higher jump quicker by wavedashing.
However, Meat Boy has a few weaknesses. His tilts and specials aren't as intresting or spectacular, besides his down B counter. Although not the lightest character, he has the lowest defense of all characters. A few good hits can get him launched far. Although professional Meat Boy mains can avoid damage using movement techniques and clever use of aerials, new players might have trouble trying to use him. Meat Boy is considered to be the hardest character of the starting 12 to use.
