## **Character Info**

Quote and Curly Brace are two robots who were sent to a mysterious floating Island to destroy the Demon Crown. Having lost their memories due to a prior conflict, both robots worked to liberate the Mimiga (the Island’s rabbit-like inhabitants) from the Demon Crown’s current owner, known only as ‘the Doctor.’ Both are skilled in armed combat and can wield an assortment of weapons and firearms. Whereas Quote is very quiet and rarely ever speaks, Curly is cheerful and talkative enough for the both of them.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

Quote/Curly steps out of a teleporter onto the stage.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby gains Quote’s red and white robot cap.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Quote/Curly look over toward the stage’s horizon as a white ‘?’ briefly appears over their head.

**Down Taunt:** Quote/Curly watch as three stars circle around them before disappearing, reminiscent of the Whimsical Star item. These stars can deal 1% damage to any opponents who touch them.

**Side Taunt:** Quote/Curly spin the Polar Star around in their hand.

### **Victory Poses**

1. Quote/Curly is seen hovering in the air with the Booster v2.0, spraying machine gun fire before landing on the ground and posing.
2. Balrog falls from the sky, slamming into the ground and waving his stubby arms to congratulate Quote/Curly; the respective robot is knocked over, stunned.
3. Both Quote and Curly are seen standing among several Mimiga, who jump up and down in celebration.

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Polar Star/Spur:** Tapping B causes Quote to fire a short-range blast from his Polar Star. Holding the B button will begin charging the Polar Star, changing it to the Spur. Once fully charged Quote can move around and jump. Releasing the button will make Quote fire a long-range blast; if the button is released before the Spur has been fully charged, Quote fires a regular Polar Star shot. Quote always faces the same direction while firing or charging, similar to how weapons like the Super Scope function.

### **Side Special**

**Missile Launcher:** Quotes pulls out the Missile Launcher and fires a single missile. Holding the B button for a moment and releasing will fire two missiles; holding it for even longer will fire three.

### **Up Special**

**Booster v2.0:** Quote uses the Booster v2.0 jets to dart through the air. Once used, Quote has a limited amount of charge while in the air, in which he can freely maneuver up, down, or sideways and change direction dynamically. The charge will reset once Quote lands.

### **Down Special**

**King's Blade:** The ghost of King bursts forth a short distance from Quote/Curly, creating spectral slashes that deal damage as he goes. Hitting an opponent deals the most damage, and create even more slashes around him. Holding the button gives Quote/Curly a second to aim around them with an arrow before sending King in that direction.

### **Final Smash**

**Hate and Madness Made Flesh:** Curly/Quote appears to assist the other as both zoom sideways using the Booster v2.0, trapping any hit opponents into a cinematic final smash. The opponent(s) lands on top of Ballos’ final form as he looms into view with Quote and Curly staring up at him. Both robots take off, flying around and blasting away with a barrage of Super Missiles. Ballos is overwhelmed and begins to explode, dealing massive damage to the opponent(s). The cutscene ends and the opponent(s) is sent flying.

### **Extra Skill**

**Iron Bond:** Quote and Curly share an unbreakable bond; although you can only select one robot to play as, holding Shield and pressing B will call in the other to provide support. For instance, doing this while playing as Quote will make Curly appear (attached to his back via tow rope) equipped with the Nemesis, and vice versa when playing as Curly. In this state Quote can only use his neutral special (the Polar Star/Spur), but repeatedly pressing the B button will also make Curly shoot in the opposite direction. The Nemesis has a slower firing rate than the Polar Star but deals more damage and makes opponents flinch. Pressing Shield+B again will make the supporting robot hop off and vanish immediately after.
