Lip (Combat)

Lip is a newcomer playable character in Super Smash Bros. Combat, and is available from the start. Lip is the Fairy of Flowers on a planet known as Popples, and is the main protagonist of Panel de Pon. When the evil Sanatos puts the entire land under a spell that causes all the fairies except Lip to start fighting each other, leading to Lip attempting to save them all. Lip is the first character who can restore her own health at will, all of her moves allowing her to plant flowers on the heads of opponents to sap health from them and return it to her.
==Attributes==
Lip is a small, light character with weak defenses, making her rather easy to launch with a powerful hit. However, Lip's easy launch capacity does not make her a weak character. Lip's main weapon is her wand, known as Lip's Stick, which becomes an exclusive item in this game. By use of the stick, Lip can plant flowers on the top of opponent's heads with every attack. The flowers slowly take health off opponents and return it to Lip, allowing her to maintain a relatively low percentage throughout the battle and having the ability to essentially heal herself at will, making her very dangerous. Lip is also very fast and agile, making her difficult to catch once she has laid her flowers on you, and making opponents have to be extra quick in order to keep her with her and deal the damage back. Lip's main weakness is characters who can deal out a lot of damage in a short while, as she lacks many solid finishing moves and it takes a while to heal off stronger attacks. Lip is a character with a learning curve that ultimately pays off.
