### English

Ratchet: James Arnold TaylorClank: David Kaye

**Ratchet & Clank** (ラチェット＆クランク, *Rachetto & Kuranku*) is a newcomer and the first DLC character to be announced and released for Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo Switch. (If Spyro doesn't count.) They were annoucned along with Mallow and Amy during the Super Smash Bros. - Pre-Release Party Direct, and they are the 2nd character to not appear on any Nintendo console, being beaten by Filla. Ratchet is voiced by James Arnold Taylor, and Clank is voiced by Davie Kaye, using a mixture of reused and new voice clips.

Ratchet and Clank are based off of the 2016 reboot movie and game released for the *Playstation 4*. However, they have many moves and references to many other games in the series.

Not much tournament play has been done, therefore Ratchet and Clank don't currently have a tournament summary. More info will be stated later.

## Attributes

Ratchet and Clank aren't much of a duo, but more of a support team, with Ratchet doing the fighting and Clank assisting, causing many unique attributes to happen for the team. Overall, Ratchet is a heavy character, having a high falling speed, slow moving, and high gravity, being the smallest heavy weight in the game. Ratchet is able to play at many ranges and is able to maitain stage control.

Ratchet biggest strength is his range and projectiles. Nearly all of his attacks are projectiles or long ranged attacks, allowing him to be able to hit his opponents and rack up damage from a safe distance. Many of his projectiles also don't have much lag, allowing him to be able to quickly move around and attack.

However, Ratchet struggles the most with characters who get close or can pressure him into making mistakes. Ratchet also struggles against characters with reflection tools.
