Strong Bad

:
Strong Bad is the first character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.
==Character Description==
Strong Bad is one of the main characters in the Homestar Runner body of work. Alongside his brother Strong Mad and pet The Cheat, he usually causes trouble through pranks or schemes, or cheating at events. He describes himself as an awesome ladies man, however his own ego and perception of reality is quite skewed. He would check emails from fans every week and respond in comedic ways.
===Role in the Beatdown Lore===
Strong Bad was one of the first characters invited to Lawl Beatdown after receiving a letter of invitation. When he was replying to an email asking him if he would join Lawl, he replied negatively until he was given the letter by The Cheat. Since then, Strong Bad has been a regular resident of the Beatdown Mansion, being introduced to Mama Umbridge by his fellow fighters and witnessing Stephen Quire having a freakout in the mansion. Late on, Homestar was also invited to Beatdown, and showed his invitation to Strong Bad, much to his annoyance.
Within the mansion, it was shown that Strong Bad would regularly hang out with John Egbert and Edd. This was shown when the trio were dispatched to deliver Dan Backslide's invitation to him, and their expedition to an Abandoned House to search for treasure. It was here where the group were ambushed by The Thwomps, until they were rescued by Kiran. They would later return to the mansion, being confronted by new arrival Eduardo.
It was shown that Strong Bad still checks his emails in the mansion, as shown when Matt briefly hid under his desk when trying to find somewhere to hide during his game of hide and seek. Strong Bad was also present when Markiplier introduced PeanutButterGamer to him and a few other fighters, before leaving when PBG requested to play the Arthur board game. Despite this, Strong Bad would come to the defence of PBG after Mrs. Mavilda started yelling at him unprovoked. 
Strong Bad would also team up with the Evil Director and Larry to produce a new Dangeresque film after "accidentally" dropping a script he wrote right in front of them. After several weeks, the film, titled Dangeresque: 4 REAL This Time! was released in the Direct Studio, which was made into a makeshift movie theatre. The film was poorly received by most of the residents, except for John, Edd, Tom and Matt, who liked the film. , Larry walked over to the group and yelled at them all, calling all of them morons.
In BeatdownBound, Strong Bad engaged in a prank war with John, h Frisk to retrieve his grabbo arm from Homestar, who turned himself into a statue. After getting his grabbo arm from Homestar and also helping John with his ingredients, Frisk watched as Strong Bad and John ended up knocking each other out at the same time with their respective pranks.
==Moveset ==
===Playstyle===
Strong Bad, for all his talk on how cool and tough he is, doesn't really have the physical strength to back it up. He's light and does not do well with up close combat. He is, however, great at cheating and using outside resources to fill in his weaknesses and gain the upper hand. Strong Bad's special moves allow him to mess with his opponents while his standards use tools to extend his hitbox and give him more of an edge over his stubby bod. Thanks to his partner in crime The Cheat, Strong Bad never has to worry about a direct offense when he is able to take control over the stage with traps and tricks.
