Baldi (butthataintindie)

Baldi is a starter character in The Fighting Game of Everything.
==Bio==
Baldi is the head teacher of the Schoolhouse and the Super Schoolhouse. He is known for his super hearing and his movement with his ruler. Be careful not to damage him too much, both physically or mentally with your bad maths, or he will get angry and strike his ruler towards you! Don't touch it or you'll be severely damaged…
==Pros and Cons==
===Pros===
*His ruler moves him a fair amount of distance
*When close to enemies, his ruler slap does a lot of damage
===Cons===
*Can only move when slapping his ruler (although he can still jump)
*The ruler has a cooldown, allowing faster fighters to take advantage of him
*Has an awful combo game
*If his ruler is broken, he cannot attack
*Low health and agility
==Costumes==
* Old Timer Baldi (default)
* Birthday Baldi
* Camping Baldi
* Farm Baldi
* Null Baldi (recolor)
==Throws==
BACKWARD: Baldi grabs the opponent using a Grappling Hook and launches them backwards. This is his only ranged move.
==Specials==
===Ruler===
When compared to other characters, Baldi cannot move on his own. Instead, he has to use his special, which is slapping his ruler, to move a distance. He moves a fair amount in the start of the game, but this has a 3 second cooldown. However, as more damage is dealt to him, his cooldown decreases all the way down to .5 seconds, allowing him to slap faster and deadlier. There is a 5% chance for his ruler to break for 10 seconds, which leaves him unable to attack, but he can still move.
===An Apple for Baldi===
A student gives him an apple, to which he exclaims, "An apple? For me? Thanks!" Baldi uses this move to heal his health, in exchange for his ruler cooldown being extended. Baldi can still call an assist while he is using this move, allowing him to distract the enemy.
===BSODA===
Baldi uses a BSODA to push away opponents to the other side of the stage, preventing them from honing in on him. This move is particularly known for its high pushback. This allows him to get closer and to take advantage of the situation, as his ruler’s high cooldown can allow others to take advantage of him.
===Super Hearing===
As a small add-on, this passive special is always active. Baldi uses his hearing to know where to move when slapping his ruler, and can be deafened with extremely loud sounds. 
==X-Factor==
===The Schoolhouse===
Baldi quickly runs towards the opponent with his ruler slaps, jumpscaring them, and sends them to a replica of his schoolhouse. The schoolhouse is still playable similarly to the main map. However, a gimmick is that the opponent is forced to find a notebook, before Baldi utters his words: "Congratulations! You found all seven notebooks! Now all you need to do is… GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!" The opponent would have to find 2 exits, on both sides. If they are unable to run towards both in 7 seconds, Baldi instantly jumpscares the monitor and does severe amounts of damage.
==Play Objectives==
===As Baldi===
Baldi has an unorthodox, joke fighter playstyle. He relies on his hearing and his ruler to fight in the game. It is expected you get damaged early on, as it can help you lessen your ruler's cooldown and allow yourself to move faster. When using an Apple, always make sure to call your assist, as they can help fight off the opponent for you. If an enemy is not careful, you have the chance to use your ruler to sprint towards them, and deal heavy amounts of damage, trapping characters like grapplers in your ruler strikes. However, your combo game is not good, so make sure to keep rushdown characters from outcomboing you using their moves.
===Against Baldi===
Baldi, as a joke fighter, seems to be an easy fighter to defeat, with his limited movement, low health, and poor combo game. However, opponents must be wary of damaging him: he is at his deadliest when his health is at his lowest, with his ruler slapping. However, his poor combo game is best dealt with using rushdown characters like Buzzsaw or the Scout, who can take advantage of it and launch a flurry of attacks at him, and rangers like Gordon Freeman, who can use their long-range attacks to hinder Baldi's movement towards them, as he still suffers a noticeable amount of pushback, even if his resistance is considerably higher than usual. His hearing is also a specialty: he can be disoriented when an attack is loud enough and it can prevent him from reaching the opponent.
