Fish

fish is a melee item in item asylum. It is a gigantic rainbow trout. 
==Functionality==
Using fish will cause the user to hold the fish outwards with both hands and start spinning while playing a "speeen" sound effect. The user gets +6 walkspeed while spinning. The spin will stop the moment the player stops holding fish's attack, with a 1 second cooldown applied to the item.
Striking enemies with fish deals 15 damage and applies strong knockback. A special "SMAAAASH!!" graphic will appear as visual feedback. fish's hitbox is 8 studs in radius and can only hit the same target once every 0.5 seconds.
===Synergy===
If the user has pinger in their inventory, the particle effect on pinger's projectile becomes a fish emoji (🐟), the effect upon hitting a solid surface becomes blue, and the ping sound effect is removed. This synergy is purely cosmetic, and additionally occurs with killer fish from san diego.
==Tips==
*The fish gains most of its effectiveness from being able to pin players in corners, or from being able to knock them out of the map.
**Even on maps without environmental hazards, pinning players against walls is an effective way to deal lots of damage.
**This works great on small maps.
*Use the movement speed granted by fish as a mobility tool to get in or out of fights.
*Most players will not stop spinning with the fish. Take them out with a ranged weapon from a safe distance or use some sort of weapon that stuns them for an extended period of time to move into melee range.
*Enemies immune to knockback such as Tanks or Juggernauts can be dealt constant damage due to fish's fast attack rate.

==Trivia==
*fish is primarily a reference to Booz with a Fish, a killer that is now replaced by the Noob with a fish from Midnight Horrors.
**The music that originally played when holding the item was Pokey from Earthbound. It is the same theme used by Booz with a Fish.
**The "SMAAAASH!!" graphic that appears when a hit is landed comes from the Mother series, while the sound and sprite of it are from Earthbound / Mother 2.
**The item's model itself is from a Roblox gear called Go Fish.
**The fish itself canonically belongs to ExpressTrainToHell (Booz) and is named "Charles."
*The warble-filtered "Speen" voice that fish plays originates from a video of streamer and YouTuber Vinesauce Vinny's Quick Gamecube Corruptions in response to an enemy in Metal Gear Solid spinning in place.
*The item can be found in Super Scuffle as a skin from the two games' collaborating.
