Psycho Kid

**Final Smash** | TBA

**Psycho Kid** is a playable character in Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown, appearing as an Echo Fighter for both Psycho Dad and Stephen Quire.

## Character Description

Psycho Kid is the fictionalised version of Jesse Ridgway/McJuggerNuggets, and is the main protagonist/anti-hero of the *YouTube* series *The Psycho Series*, the graphic novel, *Psycho-Kid vs. Psycho-Dad* and the Psycho Series sequel *The Devil Inside*. Despite being the titular protagonist of the series, he's also an on & off protagonist villain. He makes money with YouTube videos and it's his job, but his dad refuses to accept this and forces him to get a "real" job and if he refuses, he destroys his consoles over and over again. Jesse is a lazy undergraduate who has a powerful love for his video games. This is a core source of most of the Psycho videos, leading to either destruction, harm, or a conflict about his video games. Just like his brother and father, he has anger issues, and is very reactionary. In the end of the series, Jesse becomes more and more mental, until he kills his own father for destroying his life.

#### Role in the Beatdown Lore

At some point, Jesse was sent a copy of the Lawl Beatdown prototype to play on his *PlayStation 4*, which he does so with Psycho Dad. In their gaming session, Jesse played as Viola while Psycho Dad plays as himself. Jesse/Viola won the match against Psycho Dad, causing him to rage quit upon losing. Jesse's PS4 was then ripped out and shot at by Psycho Dad, resulting in another argument between the two, being witnessed by DIO in a crystal ball.

Sometime later, after Psycho Dad moved into the Smash Bros. Lawl Beatdown Mansion, Jesse saw his dad being interviewed for an upcoming tournament on a TV monitor in the city. Upon seeing him, Jesse looked at the TV with a solemn expression on his face, before he walked away, unknowingly being watched by a visage of The Creator as he did so.

## Trivia

* Jesse is the first and so far the only Echo Fighter to be a hybrid of multiple playable characters instead of just one.
* Jesse was a candidate for the first Lawl Beatdown Empty Slot Voting, where he was listed as his YouTube username, McJuggerNuggets. However, after the announcement of Empty Slot 2, he was removed from the Empty Slots, becoming a playable character and being renamed Psycho Kid. This is due to the presence of The Creator, with the different characters played by McJuggerNuggets all being separate and living entities in the world of the YouTube Channel.
