Trapezoid

Trapezoid is a character in Platform Fighter Test. It appears to be a sentient pink Trapezoid with 2 limbless hands.

## Playstyle

Trapezoid is best described as a Dominating-type character. Trapezoid has incredible power, with multiple KO moves and a potent combo game. Its extremely hard hitting attacks allow Trapezoid to kill, FAST. Its survivability (since its a heavyweight) also allows it to stick around long enough to kill their opponent multiple times. However; Trapezoid has a wider hitbox than the rest of the cast, and has the slowest air speed in the game.

## Overview

Trapezoid is a heavyweight character, displaying several normal attributes of a heavyweight. For one, it is a powerhouse, dealing large amounts of damage in most of its attacks. It also has several spikes and multiple different KO abilities. Thanks to the discovery of TJE, its up special is also a great KO move for 70% and up.

However, the best way to describe Trapezoid is NASB 2 Reptar. Essentially, just like Reptar; despite being a heavyweight, Trapezoid has amazing combo ability, and can play almost the equivalent of a speedier character. Its down special is surprisingly safe despite having high startup, thanks to its Super Armor included on it. It excels in the long range and close range, with several move closed ranged and more moves in the long range. Its jab is great thanks to the fact it can jab-lock and setup for a KO move, such as its forward tilt. Its moves are surprisingly fast aswell, very few having high startup.

However, Trapezoid still has issues. Its heavyweight nature makes it vulnerable to combos, which adds more salt in the open wound when Trapezoid also has a wider hitbox then the rest of the cast. Its lackluster speed is another issue, with having slow speed in both the air and the ground.

Overall, Trapezoid is interesting. It plays like if it wasn't a heavyweight, with heavyweight attributes. It has amazing combo ability, fast attacks, great KO options. However, Trapezoid is comboed easily, and has lackluster speed all-around.

## Moveset

Trapezoid uses its disembodied hands to fight.

### Ground Attacks

* Jab: Does a 1-2 combo. Each hit does 3.2%.
* Up Tilt: Claps upward. Decent combo starter. Does 10.8%.
* Forward Tilt: Claps forward. Very fast and hits hard. Does 16.8%.
* Down Tilt: Slams its hands downward, acting as a hitbox for both sides. Does 18.6%.

### Aerial Attacks

* Neutral Air: Pushes its hands out. A decent combo extender. Does 4.3%.

* Back Air: Claps backward. Another great KO move. Does 13.4%.
* Down Air: Punches downward. Acts as a spike. Does 15.2%.
* Forward Air: Does a double axe handle. If sweetspotted correctly, it spikes. Does 4.9% and 17.2% if sweetspotted.

### Specials

* Neutral Special: Punches forward. Slightly high startup, and doesn't really have a specific use, and players haven't really have found a way to implement this move, making it nearly useless. Does 12.7%.
* Side Special: One of the most interesting specials. Trapezoid drops a 100 ton weight. It works as a projectile, but isn't thrown. Instead, the weight jumps up a bit before landing on the ground. It has gravity so it does fall down in the air. It disappears after a second and a half. Does 8.7%.
* Up Special: Based off of Donkey Kong's Up Special. Outstretches its hands and spins around a bunch. Does multiple hits. Does 14.8%.
* Down Special: Pulls a fist back and punches as hard as it can. Slow startup but has incredible KO potential and has super armor. Does 26.4%.
