Fantendo Smash Bros. Victory/Strafe

This article is about Strafe's appearance in Fantendo Smash Bros. Victory. For the character in other contexts, see Strafe.
Strafe was confirmed to be a playable character in Fantendo Smash Bros. Victory in the Toroko's Fantendo Holiday Showcase 2015 presentation teasers and later the actual showcase. He plays a major role in the plot.
==Background==
Strafe is a former thief and assassin, born under the abusive father known as Lock. He left Noah to live in the United States after meeting two women named Leah and X-Ray and had various adventures with them, involving a cult of children, a immortal fisher, a group of cannibals and his evil possessed father. Since then, he has become a major part of Unten's group. He is talented with several kinds of weapons and has light magic from his mother, the goddess Palutena.
==Moveset==
===Standard Attacks===
Name	Info
Lock-Kick	Strafe does a kick that essentially locks the opponent in place before releasing them onto the ground for 7% damage. It has no knockback capability.
Strike Skiff	A very low hitting move, taking care of opponents that are small or connected to the ground with their legs. This move doesn't have a lot of knockback, similar to the Lock-Kick but it does 7% damage.
Uprising	Strafe rises upward with a light protecting him, doing about 5% damage to anyone in the air.
Black Mambo	Strafe jumps and kicks downwards, although this move has a lot of landing lag meaning that Strafe can be rather vulnerable after executing it. It does 8% damage.
===Special Moves===
Name	Info
Desert Eagle	Fires his Desert Eagle as a ranged attack that does 9% damage, although it has only 5 uses before he runs out of ammo. When he doesn't have any uses left, he has to wait for it to recharge over a period of 16.5 seconds. During this wait period he can use it as a melee weapon for 5% damage.
Power of Spectrum Laser Disruption	A energy attack Strafe has inherited from his mother, creating a strange projectile that expands outward as opposed to speeding away from the caster, creating dangerous areas that harm opponents for 4% damage before knocking them away. Strafe cannot cast this again until it eventually vanishes away 5 seconds after casting it.
Light Portal	A recovery move where Strafe disappears into a portal and appears above the stage. It is a quick traversal move but will leave Strafe helpless in the air until he lands, making it punishable easily.
Blue Grenade	Strafe unpins a grenade designed by Chelsea that first covers the area around in smoke and then explodes shortly after. The smoke has blinding effects, meaning that characters will move slower in it, while the explosion does around 10% damage.
===Memory Gear Moves===
Name	Info
Winter Eagle	Replaces Neutral Special: Desert Eagle.
Strafe attacks with a chilly version of his Desert Eagle. He can freeze opponents temporarily using this gun, but he has only three freezy bullets before he has to wait for it to recharge over a period of 16.5 seconds. During this wait period he can use it as a melee weapon for 5% damage.
Power of Glam Blaster	Replaces Up Special: Light Portal.
Strafe conjures a pillar of light that reaches opponents way up in the air or directly on the ground for 16% damage. Has no recovery usage.
Goo Grenade	Replaces Down Special: Blue Grenade.
Tosses down a grenade that expands into a gooey mess, allowing Strafe to take out trapped opponents.
===Finisher===
Name	Info
Mother's Blessing	Strafe's body is covered in light as he heals slowly in 5% increments. There are a total of 30 increments within 30 seconds, healing up to 150% damage.
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt - Pulls out a Sea Bass from his jacket and bites the head off it.
*Side Taunt - Throws his sunglasses to the side and then pulls another pair from his jacket.
*Down Taunt - Pulls out his flip phone from his jacket and looks at the time.
===Victory Poses===
*Strafe and Joseph arrive in a desert jeep, kicking sand onto the camera.
*Strafe puts his feet up on a table, pulling down his glasses.
*Strafe fires his gun as a vulture falls from the sky.
==Trophies==
TBA
==Trivia==
*Strafe's moveset is pulled from various sources, such as Fantendo Smash Bros. Lethal, Toroko Fighting All-Stars, Fantendo Smash Bros. Duel, and inspired by Palutena. 
*Strafe's glasses throwing taunt is a nod to K' from the King of Fighters series.
*Strafe's sea bass taunt and jeep victory are nods to Strafe: Warzones.
*"Black Mambo" is the name of a Glass Animals song that is based off Breaking Bad, particularly the theme of outwitting opponents that are a step ahead of you. This move can either be used to get a opponent off guard or be used against Strafe, tying in thematically.
