Homestar

**Homestar Runner** is the eighth playable character revealed in *Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown*.

## Character Description

Homestar Runner is the main protagonist of the *Homestar Runner* body of work, being described as a terrific athlete and fast runner. His intelligence is not his strongest point, having a speech tic where he has "twouble with his aw's" and short term memory issues, usually not fully grasping the world around him. He also falsely believes he and Strong Bad are friends.

### Role in the Beatdown Lore

Homestar Runner was first exposed to Beatdown when, upon going to return Strong Bad's fondue pot, finds a note detailing his departure for Beatdown. Homestar was eventually invited in, and brought this to Strong Bad's attention after breaking into his house yet again. A sleepy Homestar briefly popped his head in when seeing that Stephen Quire and Psycho Dad had broken his cow lamp. Homestar is also seen with the group of fighters that ended up encountering a Crude Ogre in the woods. Homestar, Gary's Umbreon, and Erika were able to damage it, but Homestar ended up being launched into the ground.

In BeatdownBound, Homestar takes the place of the statue in the front of the Mansion by painting his body gray and standing in place. He was so in tune with the role that he stayed perfectly still and didn't interact with anyone. After Frisk dumped water on him, he returned to normal and was able to give them Strong Bad's Grabbo-Arm back.

Homestar reprises his role as Dangeresque Too in Dangeresque: 4 REAL This Time!, where he and Renaldo help Dangeresque in busting Perducci yet again. Allegedly, Homestar spent $3000 in helping budget the movie.

Homestar took a trip to the newly opened Fantasy Costco with other members of Beatdown. When Garfield the Deals Warlock offered a mystery bag as a fresh deal, Homestar enters a battle of Merchentile Wit with Garfield. However, Homestar makes a bad trade as he trades away Pom Pom's Gold Bowl for the mystery bag, which had a broken mirror inside. As Homestar is berrated for his bad trade, he doesn't learn his lesson as he gets tempted by a sign promising deals leading to a back alleyway in the city. After realizing he might not have done the smartest thing, he is confronted by Spamton, who emerges from a dumpster. Spamton offers a deal to Homestar and gives him some crappy items to buy, and Homestar buys some pipis for $5. After Spamton absorbs it, Homestar gets weirded out and calls for help. Spamton becomes unhinged, and Homestar decides to flee, as he runs far away from Spamton.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

Homestar's playstyle is pretty simple; he's a terrific athlete, meaning he has excellent mobility as the fastest character in the game. While his standards all reflect on his athleticism (by being quick and great at combos naturally), his special moves reflect his various unexpected antics. Homestar is, frankly, stupid, and by supplementing his innate speed with his strange tools is the key to victory.

### Special moves

 Final Smash | Pom Pom, Too | Homestar summons Pom Pom, who follows him around and attacks anybody right in front of Homestar.
