The Thwomps

The Thwomps are the eighteenth character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.
== Character Description ==
The Thwomps are the main protagonists of the Newgrounds animated series of the same name. They are a duo of Thwomps employed by Bowser to stomp out the Mario Brothers once and for all. Unfortunately for him they... aren't the best at their job. Thwomp 1 is stern, maniacal and power hungry, while Thwomp 2 is goofy and slick. Combining their powers, the Thwomps try their best to prove themselves as soldiers.
===Role in the Beatdown Lore===
After their existence became known to DIO, the trio of Tord, Dan Backslide and Psycho Dad were sent to recruit The Thwomps. The Thwomps had just recently been fired by Bowser, who decided on firing his entire squad of Thwomps due to their lackluster performance. While leaving the castle, they came across the crashed runabout containing the villain trio. The Thwomps were eventually brought to DIO's hideout, where they were hired to join DIO's cause.
During their first assignment, The Thwomps were sent to the Abandoned House to intercept fighters from Beatdown. Once they had Strong Bad and John Egbert alone in a large room with them, The Thwomps came down and fought the two. Even with Strong Bad's call for backup, The Thwomps refused to let up until Thwomp 2 was unexpectedly struck by lightning. Coming face to face with the Kiran and Reinhardt, The Thwomps were quickly outnumbered by the mansion fighters teaming up with heroes summoned by Kiran. Gray eventually knocked them out of the house for good, and the pair retreated. Despite their apparent failure, according to DIO's Diary, he was glad to learn of the existence of Askr's summoner as a further point of investigation for his crew.
According to BeatdownBound, The Thwomps are mostly regulated to guard duties around the hideout. While they do not get out nearly as often as Tord and the others, they still keep a good rapport with Tord, being surprisingly friendly with him. Thwomp 2 also played poker with a few of DIO's henchmen, being irritated that he lost to Mrs. Mavilda and leaving once Daniel D. D'Arby began playing with her.
== Moveset ==
===Playstyle===
The Thwomps are known for taking a traditional Mario enemy and building upon their basic and well known elements with that classic Newgrounds sprite movie charm. They have the build you'd expect from a Thwomp- very heavy with terrible movement but powerful attacks. The added bonus is the strength of their aerials, since Thwomps are known to stomp. But like their source, the Thwomps can overcome their weaknesses when using their specials just right to unleash their full potential. As an Ice Climbers-esque duo, keeping both alive to maximize efficiency with their specials to guarantee a KO is what they are all about.

Attack 	Name 	Description
Standard special	Thwomp Stomp 	The Thwomps leap in the air, and pressing B again has them stomp downwards. Holding B in the air will simply perform the stomp without the jump. Doing it near a wall or ceiling has them cling to it, smashing down upon next B input.
Side special 	Stone Chuck 	Thwomp 1 chucks a stone forward, which stuns opponents on impact. It can be charged for a longer stuntime.
Up special 	Flight Blocks 	The Thwomps ride a pair of flying blocks. They can fly it anywhere and jump/Thwomp Stomp off it whenever they want. The blocks linger for a bit after being summoned, or until Up B is summoned again.
Down special 	GameShark Frame 	Thwomp 2 hides in a frame, causing him to momentarily disappear for up to a few seconds. Pressing Down B again will have him burst through the place he was summoned to stomp.
Final Smash 	Do The Time Warp	Thwomp 2 and a crowd of Thwomps appear to stun opponents by singing, and a portal appears that sends opponents through a time warp portal. Each segment of the FS deals their own damage (Thwomp 2, Thwomp crowd, and Time Warp portal), with earlier segments sending opponents into the following segments.
