== Assist functionality ==
When summoned as an Assist, Octodad extends both arms diagonally upward to grab an opponent and fling them downward, similarly to his up special move. Unlike its up special move counterpart, it deals only 6 damage. Its massive range and quick startup lag make it very useful for edgeguarding or extending combos.
It takes 50 damage to fully charge Octodad.
== Description ==
=== Playable character ===
A tactical character that takes advantage of the unique motions and long reach that are made possible by his stretchy, flexible limbs! The tip of his arm is stronger for most attacks, so different spacing can open up new combo opportunities. This can also mean you're vulnerable to aggressive gameplay - if your opponents get too close, try using side special's armor frames to turn the tables!
=== Assist ===
Extends his arms at an upward diagonal, grabbing the first opponent he hits and flipping them around into a spike! This is a great way to knock your opponent down or start an edgeguard sequence.
