## Overview

Calappa is a **powerful and flexible all-rounder** who can fill any playstyle the player wishes from running away and harassing the opponent at range to rushing in and playing hyper aggressive. However being a jack of all trades comes with the drawback of being a master of none. **Calappa is a great choice for beginners to pick up and play due to its strength and ease of play**

## Trivia

* During an August 2020 interview with *Rock Paper Shotgun* contributor Nate Crowley, Masafumi Onuki – the creator of Fight Crab and the developer behind Calappa Games (Nussoft) – confirmed that the calappa is his favorite type of crab.

> Crabs are interesting in general, but I must say the Calappa is my favourite. The way its claws fit together perfectly is really cool and the claws themselves are a funny shape, like can openers. Also, I think its round shape makes it look kinda cute.
