Edd

**Edd** is the third character in *Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown.*

## Character Description

Edd is one of the main characters of *Eddsworld*, often described as the leader of the trio. He's typically easy going, but isn't exactly the smartest (although considering their overall group, that's not saying much). He is described as the artist, and a huge lover of Coca Cola and bacon. He has a love for bad puns.

### Role in the Beatdown Lore

Edd was first interested in Beatdown when seeing the Lawl 1ON1 playing on the TV. While he was interested in the idea of joining a Lawl, Tom and Matt were too preoccupied thinking about Lawl Ultimate. Edd would eventually be formally invited to Beatdown, and would be part of the first group of fighters to join. As part of this group, Edd and the others were introduced to Mama Umbridge, as well as being caught in the crossfire of a Stephen Quire freak out.

While dealing with multiple newcomers being brought to the mansion, Watts and Rosalene ask Edd, alongside Strong Bad and John Egbert, to personally deliver Dan Backslide's invitation. The three would instead talk outside the Tavern of Unsavory Repute about movies. Strong Bad told the three about the Dangeresque series, with Edd excitedly predicting that it will be widely popular. However, while handing the DVD to John, Dan's invite flies out of his sylladex and strikes Dan in the face. The trio calm him down and bring him to the mansion, just in time to witness Umbridge being tossed out the window by Stephen.

While at home with Tom, Matt excitedly tells Edd and Tom about the special invitation he had gotten, forgetting that Edd and Tom were already invited. When trying to get Matt to remember, instead he found himself stuck thinking about Lawl Ultimate again. Edd 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.

When Matt requested to play hide and seek, Edd and Tom send him off to hide as they watch TV. They are also eventually joined throughout the day by others (Watts, John and Homestar). After Tom leaves to get a drink, Edd hears yelling and looks in to see Tom confronting Tord and, eventually, Tord opening fire and leaving the mansion with confidential documents. According to BeatdownBound, this is the first time he had seen Tord since his departure (in 20ft Under The Seat), and has no idea why he broke into the mansion.

One afternoon, Edd (within a group consisting of Strong Bad, The Cheat, John Egbert, Tom and Matt) embarked to explore the Abandoned House under the promises of treasure. Edd pondered how to split the group up before realizing the obvious split (aka him going with Tom and Matt). While Edd's crew explored the upstairs (with The Cheat eventually tagging along), Edd heard Strong Bad's call for help after being ambushed by The Thwomps. Edd was pulled to help by The Cheat, as the two ran down to assist Strong Bad. However, they found that their help wasn't needed when they saw Reinhardt, newly summoned by the new arrival Kiran, strike The Thwomps. Edd would give Kiran a small goodbye when they were reunited with the Askr trio. Later that night, the group returned to the mansion as they were caught in the rain. Upon returning to the lobby and looking at the loot they acquired, Edd heard a familiar voice behind him. Eduardo, who had just arrived to the mansion, was there to gloat and goad Edd. While Edd tried to show the treasure they acquired, Eduardo was quick to flaunt their stacks of gold.

Edd would be in attendance to the world premiere of Dangeresque: 4 REAL This Time!, a film that he thought was brilliant. Edd would also join a group from the mansion (Watts, Homestar and Matt) that went to check out the newly opened Fantasy Costco. Edd purchased a cool looking sword, but was approached by Garfield the Deals Warlock with his mystery bag deal. Edd and Watts had to witness Homestar's less than stellar attempt to make a deal with Garfield, and saw how he was subsequently ripped off.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

Compared to his friends, Edd is a very average member of his trio who does not have any drastic qualities to him. He's the most well rounded of the three with a decent skill of improvising. His moves and varying ranges can let him stay back or go on the offense. Edd is great for newcomers, having most of his stats average out, possessing a projectile and deflector, and range with both his shovel and direct melee attacks.

* **THWOMP 2**: (I don’t get why we’re still waiting for Luigi, he doesn’t even come through he-)
* **THWOMP 1**: (Shut up! Here he comes! Something green is coming!)
* **EDD**: Oh, hi.
* **THWOMP 1**: ...this isn’t Luigi.
* **EDD**: Oh, you mean like the Mario brother?
* **THWOMP 2**: Yeah! Exactly!
* **EDD**: Well uh… I haven’t really seen any Mario characters walk by here. I kinda have somewhere else to go, if that’s alright with you lot.
* **THWOMP 1**: Well we have a job to do! Someone’s gotta get squished and we can’t get fired again!
* **EDD**: Do we have to? I don’t really want to-
* **THWOMP 1**: You’re not going to ESCAPE!
* **EDD**: \*Sigh\* Alright then, bring it on!
* **THWOMP 2**: You're about to get pwned!

#### Rival

* **EDD**: Er… hello?
* **BLOCKHEAD**: \*GASP!\* INTRODUCING, FRIEND!
* **CONSCIENCE**: I have a hard time believing you would have *anyone* who would consider you a friend. Stupid.
* **BLOCKHEAD**: I WORK VERY HARD TO SHARE MY TONGS.
* **EDD**: Hey you look… vaguely familiar? Have we met somewhere before maybe?
* **BLOCKHEAD**: And you.... look like... A fellow ghostmas man!
* **EDD**: Uh, aaanyways... I’m guessing we have to fight now, considering only one of us can claim this prize, or something. However this all works...
* **BLOCKHEAD**: \*Gasp!\* Can I show you my tongs? Or what about my Weevil friend?
* **CONSCIENCE**: Yeah, how about you *don’t* get yourself killed. As much as I would rather see the life drain from your intolerable face, we’ve *somehow* made it this far. So for once, don’t be stupid and somehow win this!
* **EDD**: I guess we should get started.
* **BLOCKHEAD**: INTRODUCING, FIGHT!

### Endings

#### Classic Mode Victory

* *Edd thought back on every journey he and his friends went on… from trips to hell to zombie infested theme parks, it seems like they’ve done it all. Remembering that he always has his friends to fall back on, he felt like he didn’t need any fancy world changes… nah, just kidding, he gave himself a lifetime supply of coke, bacon and riches. At least he is able to share with Tom and Matt.*

#### Defeated (Eduardo)

* *Edd was finally defeated and humiliated by Eduardo for good. Despite this massive change to his life, and the pain of being second best, Edd still had something that Eduardo does not- true friendship.*
