Neptune

**Neptune**is a newcomer fighter in Super Smash Bros. Extreme.

## Overview

Neptune is a swordfighter with average reach. However, like Pyra, she is able to transform into a different fighter via her down special: Purple Heart. Purple Heart's sword attacks are stronger, and she has an additional midair jump as well as improved air acceleration. However, her sword attacks become slightly slower, and she has a larger hurtbox. Neptune and Purple Heart have different victory themes depending on who finished the fight, just like Pyra and Mythra.

Neptune has a palette fighter, Nepgear, who can transform into Purple Sister.

* **Down Smash:** Neptune quickly slashes on either side of herself.

### Special Moves

* **Neutral Special:** *Cross Combination* - Neptune rushes forward with a flurry of slashes that can be inputed in any direction, just like Sephiroth's Octaslash from Ultimate. This move is known as Mirage Dance when Nepgear uses it.
* **Side Special:** *Delta Slash -* Neptune launches a slashing projectile, similar to Cloud's Blade Beam. If this move is charged, Neptune will send out two. If the move is charged to the max, the second projectile will explode when it hits an opponent.
* **Up Special:** *32-bit Mega Blade* - A blue sword appears and comes crashing down.
* **Down Special:** *HDD* - Allows for Neptune to transform into Purple Heart and vice versa. This attack can only be used once Neptune has dealt enough damage to opponents.
* **Final Smash:** *Neptune Break/Celestial Severence -* A cutscene final Smash that is the longest in the game. If Neptune has transformed into Purple Heart, this attack becomes even stronger and deals the most damage out of any final smash in the game. The cutscene final smash changes if Nepgear is being used instead of Neptune, but the attack is functionally the same. This gives the attack 4 variations: Neptune's, Purple Heart's, Nepgear's, and Purple Sister's. During this Final Smash, the music changes to "Drive Away" from Mega Dimension Neptunia VII.
