Scott Pilgrim is one of the 40 starting characters in Psychedelic Taco. He is the titular protagonist of the series, summoned as a dream within the world of Psychedelic Taco. He was addded to the roster as he is a deeply complex hero and the star of one of GG's favourite films.
After meeting the girl of his own literal dreams, Ramona Flowers, Scott must battle her seven evil exes to earn the right to date her. Faced with 'The Glow' an emotion manipulating virus created by Ramona's ex Gideon, Scott ultimately comes to terms with his flaws and his past by merging with Nega-Scott, which allows him to defeat Gideon and start a new stage of his life with Ramona.
Fighting against Scott is the nightmare Harley Quinn, another flawed comic book character with an evil ex of her own.
==Gameplay==
Scott is an all-around fighter, having average athletic stats but fast attacks and an ever rising attack power. He is built to create long combos to utilise his passive. He attacks with his own body, utilising various moves taken from Street Fighter alongside original techniques.
Scott's passive is Torontos Finest. Next to his Reality Meter is a combo counter. For every hit Scott deals, the counter rises by 1, slightly increasing his damage. After three seconds without landing an attack, the counter resets. The maximum combo count is 64. Scott and anyone he hits do not descend if he attacks while airborne.
*Neutral Special: Sub-Space Highway - Scott jumps through a subspace highway, disapearing and then reappearing to unleash a devastating punch. Loosely based on the fact that Scott's dreams are a frequent feature of his home series.
*Side Special: Power of Love - Scott slashes with the Power of Love, releasing a shockwave has medium range. Hitting with the sword itself does more damage. Scott unlocks the power of love after confessing that he loves Ramona in volume 4.
*Up Special: Shoryuken - Scott performs a rising uppercut into the air. He originally used this technique while battling Ramona's first evil ex, Matthew Pattel, in Scott Pilgrims Precious Little Life.
*Down Special: Bass - Scott pulls out his bass and strums, sending out a shockwave which deflects projectiles and deals slight damage. Scott plays his bass multiple times throughout the series.
*Reality Break: Power of Understanding - Scott gains the Power of Understanding, enhancing the damage of all his attacks except for Bass. It lasts until Scott dies. Scott obtains the Power of Understanding in volume 6 after realising that he and Gideon are more alike than he realised, but than he can still change.
==Deep Rest==
Scott's Deep Rest partner is Amaterasu.
With PT defeated, Scott was free to do as he pleased. Using the power of PT, he opens up a subspace highway so Ramona can join him in the endless dream. United again, they live out the rest of their days in bliss.

Design NotesScott Pilgrim vs the World is one of my favourite films ever, but honestly it doesn't quite do the graphic novels justice. Scott's a really complex character and his personal journey really resonates with me. His neutral special is the only ability I struggled with, and I settled with giving him Sub-Space highway since it has to with dreams, and his own dreams feature heavily in the comics, even if he never really uses the subspace highways himself in the source material.
