John Egbert

Homestuck: Showtime (Imp Strife)
Homestuck: Doctor

**John Egbert** is the second character in *Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown*.

## Character Description

John Egbert is one of the main characters of *Homestuck*, where he and his friends play a game on his thirteenth birthday that holds major consequences for the fate of the world. He is very lighthearted and energetic, always enjoying a good prank on his friends. He has a peculiar taste for bad movies, and in particular loves Nicolas Cage in *Con Air*. He's also quite selfless.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

While not being as honed as a fighter as the other Beta kids, John relies on powerful tools like his hammers, his sylladex and his alchemized items in battle. John can hit hard with his hammer and keep his foes at a safe range, however without accounting for the movement of his foes he can leave himself wide open. He does well at being able to keep foes at just the right distance away through wind gusts or reckless hammer swings, while also collecting items or traps from foes to fuel his own projectiles.

## Trivia

* John shares a few parallels in his moveset with Lawl Nova's Jade:
	+ Both use their Sylladex as a Neutral B (Stack and Queue, Pictionary)
	+ Both use their Strife weapon with a unique attribute as a Side B (Hammerkind and Riflekind)
	+ Both have a boosting Up B (Rocket Pack and Iron Lass Suit)
	+ Both use their God Tiers as their Final Smash (Heir of Breath and Witch of Space)
* John's official render was changed during Viola's moveset, matching his style with the Hero Mode art style from Homestuck much like Karkat.
