Stephen Quire

**Stephen Quire** is the sixth playable character in *Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown*.

## Character Description

Stephen Quire is the star of the *Greatest Freakout Ever* series, where he overreacts to things and destroys other's property. He is very much against people touching him, or insulting him in any way. He doesn't think things through, which results in his freak outs. He's also seen as quite selfish and inconsiderate of others.

### Role in the Beatdown Lore

Stephen Quire was part of the first group of fighters recruited to *Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown,* being introduced to Mama Umbridge while with his fellow fighters. At one point, Stephen has a freak out that involved him going on a rampage in the mansion, throwing things around and telling Umbridge to shut up.

At some point, Stephen goes on another tantrum (the cause of which is unknown) and starts breaking things in one of the mansion's rooms. When Umbridge comes to investigate, she is instead ready to physically stop Stephen. His strength during his freak out was surprisingly a match for Umbridges as he threw her out a window. From the mirror he broke however, Psycho Dad emerges, and the two argue before starting another destruction of the room.

Stephen was also present during the first Beatdown Direct, meeting PeanutButterGamer with the rest of the fighters, as well as the newcomers from the Training Colosseum. Later (when PBG actually arrives at the mansion), as Markiplier gives PBG a proper introduction to some of the fighters, Stephen gets offended by being called "wafflepwn" and throws a cupcake at Mark's face.

Stephen also was one of the people who yelled at Mrs. Mavilda for telling the fighters to stop playing and to get back to work. Stephen was also supposed to play one of Perducci's henchmen in Dangeresque: 4 REAL This Time!, but refused and argued with Strong Bad during filming, which resulted in John Egbert being cast as the henchman instead. Despite this, he still attended the world premiere, but left afterwards with the others.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

Being a very reckless and angry person, Stephen Quire wants everyone else to play by his own rules. Like in the Freak Out videos, he can challenge opponents by destroying their property or punishing approaches. Essentially, he wants the match to be all about him, with movement and attacks making him unpredictable. Stephen can easily overwhelm foes by using traps against them or directly countering foes and punishing approaches, but ironically enough touching Stephen at a distance is what messes with his game plan.

### Special moves

The stun does no damage, however the push does 7%. If a opponent or assist gets pushed into another opponent, they'll also take damage. Damage changes depending on the weight of the character/assist.
 Side special
* 0% will give you kitchenware that flies straight, dealing 10% and average knockback.
* 50% will give you a computer case that doesn't go far before falling to the ground as a heavy item, dealing 23% to anyone it hits.

 Up special
 Down special
 Final Smash
This FS does no knockback, however it will leave opponents on the ground and vulnerable.
