Ashley

Ashley is a newcomer character that appears in Super Smash Bros. Crusade. She was first playable to the public in Demo 0.9 TEST.

## General

Ashley is a young witch living in a mansion in Diamond City. She spends most of her time working on spells and brewing potions, for what these are exactly for is unknown. While it is unknown how she met Wario, the two are friends and Ashley helped make Microgames for a time. Ashley's best friend seems to be a small devil-like creature named Red, who also doubles as her wand and broom, however Ashley won't hesitate to use Red in her spells, even going as far as to use him as an ingredient in a potion. Ashley is most well known for her theme song, which appeared as a track for the Warioware Inc. stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

## Attributes

Ashley is a very speedy character who relies on overwhelming opponents with high attack speed, and lots of varied combos. Due to this, her KO potential is somewhat lacking, although this is hardly an issue as Ashley can rack up damage very quickly. Ashley herself is a lightweight character, but her recovery is very good, and the distance gained from it rivals that of R.O.B.'s Robo Booster when on full fuel. This move travels so far, using it to its full extent from the floor on Final Destination can result in Self Destructs on Ashley. It can also deal a surprising amount of damage and knockback to an opponent.
