Porky Minch (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Porky appears on Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on the Earthbound wiki.
Porky Minch is a playable character on Super Smash Stadium, as well as the oldest surviving "Mêlée Era" character to debut and the second one overall. He debuted near the end of Season 15, alongside Fourside. He was known as Pokey Minch before Season 36; the corresponding track in Fourside was similarly called "Pokey Means Business".
==In his own universe==
Porky first appears in Earthbound, where he is Ness's next door neighbor and not a particularly well-liked resident of Onett due to his problematic behaviors. He lives with an Aloysius, his father, Lardna, his mother, and Picky, his brother. It's Porky who first discovers the meteorite and thus sets in motion the game's events; he briefly joins Ness's party, but does nothing of use. However, things hit the fan when Porky finds Giygas and decides to work for him, apparently motivated by jealousy of Ness.
It gets even worse in Mother 3, where Porky (now actually called such for the first time, both in the infamous fan translation and in materials released by Nintendo after the fact, such as the Smash Bros. games) has been elevated to the game's main villain. He is the dictator of the Nowhere Islands, controlling them from a place called New Pork City via his own personal army, called the Pigmask Army. He is rarely referred to by name; instead, he is called the "Pig King".
He is ultimately defeated in Mother 3 by sealing himself inside an "Absolutely Safe Capsule" designed by Jeff Andonuts's father in Earthbound. The Capsule is impenetrable from both sides, meaning that not only is he trapped there for eternity, but he is also doomed to eternal life.
==Attributes==
Essentially D.Va, 30 years before D.Va, Porky initially appears inside of his spider robot, but if he's taken to over 50%, the robot explodes and he's forced to fight on his own until he either uses his Final Smash, or dies. Not even healing himself restores the robot.
In the robot, he's the largest character in the entire game. He's even bigger than Ridley, a character who's infamous for being "too big". He also takes little to no knockback from attacks and can't be eaten, either by Yoshi, Kirby, or Dedede. However, he has next to no jump whatsoever, and thus has no air moves. He also has no back throw.
Outside of the robot, he's a lightweight who plays a "fast but weak" game that relies on zoning and being as cowardly and as sneaky as possible, stalling until he can get his robot back.
Ashley Nikiwawa is unable to transform into Porky in his robot when she uses her down special. However, she can gain his robot if she uses his Final Smash.
===Changes===
...Yes.
===Moveset===
Entrance: Appears from a portal.
In the robot	In the robot	Out of the robot	Out of the robot
Move Name 	Description 	Move Name 	Description
Neutral Special:
Ultra Stab	Porky stabs in front of him for five seconds, doing about 25 hits at 2% a pop. Anyone hit gets sucked in for the rest of the move's duration, and the final hit does huge knockback. However, since the attack is done at the top of his robot, it's somewhat easy to avoid.
Kills at 160%.	Neutral Special:
Porky Bomb	Porky throws out three robot copies of himself on either side of him that explode after five seconds.
Kills at 80%.
Side Special:
Power Walk	Porky does a quick charge the length of Final Destination. Does huge damage and knockback to anyone hit, and those underneath him get buried.
Kills at 60%.	Side Special:
Toxic Gas	Porky rockets forward the length of Final Destination, leaving toxic gas behind him for 15 seconds that halves the stats of anyone caught inside.
Cannot kill.
Up Special:
Ultra Jump	Porky jumps up way high, then crashes back down HARD.
Kills at 50%.	Up Special:
Lightning Jump	Porky propels himself up way high and floats for five seconds. In that time, you can press to shoot lightning downwards.
Kills at 75%.
Down Special:
Laser Ball	Porky forms a ball of energy over his head, then shoots out a laser beam from it for five seconds. Use to steer. Can do up to 50% on one opponent.
Kills at 150%.	Down Special:
Super Stab	Porky stabs around him, doing 10 hits at 2% a pop. Weaker than Ultra Stab but harder to avoid.
Kills at 260%.
Final Smash:
Giygas	Porky summons him, engulfing all other opponents in darkness (during which the text "You cannot grasp the true form of this Final Smash!" appears, in signature Earthbound style). He then attacks all opponents within a radius of half a Final Destination away from Porky, dealing as much as 50% to those closest to him, but only 5% to those on the edge. Anyone who takes 50% gets to see the "SMAAAAASH!!!" text appear above their heads before they die.
Ashley Variant: The text boxes instead say "Fuck around and find out..." followed by "GO WOKE, GET BROKE!!!" or "TALK SHIT, GET HIT!!!" for the victim unlucky enough to take the full 50%.
Kills at 50%.	Final Smash:
Porky Statue	Porky summons his giant stone statue from the Subspace Emissary, which rampages all over the battlefield and does 30% to anyone hit. However, the statue has been nerfed in that it's now vulnerable to attacks, and after 15 seconds or once it's taken 100%, it breaks apart, revealing Porky's robot, which he promptly gets inside.
Kills at 95%.
