## **Character Info**

Pablo Sanchez, also known as the Secret Weapon, is one of the many so-called “Backyard Kids” who gather to play sports with each other. While some of the Backyard Kids only like to play certain sports, Pablo Sanchez is down to play any sport, any time. Just let him know there’s a game going on and he’ll be there ready to go! Pablo Sanchez is also quite the popular choice when it comes to picking teams as he’s considered one of, if not the best, of all the Backyard Kids and excels at just about everything. Pablo Sanchez does however have one weakness, he’s terrible when it comes to his inside shooting in basketball. Oh the woes of being short.

## **General Information**

### **Entrance**

Pablo Sanchez will be seen sitting on a small bench next to two of the other Backyard Kids (chosen randomly). Pablo will look excited and point a finger towards himself before jumping off the bench and onto the battlefield like he just got picked to join a team.

### **Kirby Hat**

Kirby will wear Pablo Sanchez’s backwards baseball cap atop his head.

### **Taunts**

**Up Taunt:** Pablo Sanchez will juggle a soccer ball from one knee to another a couple times.

**Down Taunt:** Pablo Sanchez will grab a basketball and dribble it lightning fast between his legs for a couple seconds.

**Side Taunt:** Pablo Sanchez will pull out his baseball bat and tap it against the ground a couple of times.

### **Victory Poses**

1. A soccer ball will be sitting in the middle of the screen as Pablo Sanchez runs in from the side and kicks it towards the screen so far it catches fire! When the soccer ball hits the screen it’ll bounce off and leave a crack behind.
2. Pablo Sanchez will toss up a baseball before whacking it with his bat. The baseball will let out a wacky laugh as it zips and zooms around the screen in a chaotic fashion.
3. Pablo Sanchez will be seen running to the endzone on a football field where he’ll throw the football down into it before dancing in excitement.

## **Moveset**

### **Standard Special**

**Pitch:** Now with a baseball glove on his hand, Pablo will wind back and then throw a fastball forwards. Obviously, the baseball is thrown fast and goes a good distance, but it’s damage isn’t very high. If Pablo uses his Extra Skill, 110% Juice, he can juice up this move with a Power Up depending on how much juice he had.

* **Fireball** - At 30% Juice, Pablo’s baseball will now be engulfed in flames! Fireball has the same range and speed as the normal Pitch special, but its damage and knockback have been significantly boosted.
* **Corkscrew** - At 60% Juice, Pablo’s baseball will no longer travel in a straight line, instead it will spiral! The baseball now flies a bit slower and with a lot less range, but will now corkscrew out into a cone aoe, and can hit opponents up to three times as it goes through the air.
* **Crazy Ball** - At 100% Juice, Pablo’s baseball will now travel even faster, though the damage is at its base value. Additionally the range isn’t a straight line or cone and is considered more of a box or sphere-shaped aoe. The tradeoff now is that the ball will fly in a crazy and unpredictable pattern as it changes direction almost randomly through the air. In fact, each time you use the Crazy Ball its path will be different! This makes it a very hard move to predict and dodge. Like the Corkscrew, the Crazy Ball can hit opponents multiple times, up to five now!

### **Side Special**

**Kick:** A soccer ball appears at Pablo’s feet just in time for him to kick it forward! The ball will fly forward in an arc to hit opponents and can even bounce off of walls to try and make angled shots happen. Pablo can also angle the initial shot by tilting the control stick which changes the arc that the ball is kicked in. If Pablo uses his Extra Skill, 110% Juice, he can juice up this move with a Power Up depending on how much juice he had.

* **Cannon** - At 30% Juice, A cannon will appear at Pablo’s feet instead of just a soccer ball! Like with the basic Kick, the cannon can be adjusted with the control stick. The cannon will fire out the soccer ball with increased speed and damage however the soccer ball will no longer bounce off of walls.
* **Undergrounder** - At 60% Juice, When Pablo kicks the soccer ball it will dig underground and seem to disappear. A second later the soccer ball will reappear popping out of a new hole a short distance away before continuing its normal flight path. While the soccer ball can bounce off walls again, the angle it gets kicked can no longer be adjusted. Instead, when you tilt the control stick you will adjust how far away the second hole is that the soccer ball pops out of.
* **Bowling Ball** - At 100% Juice, the soccer ball will turn into a large bowling ball the moment that Pablo kicks it. This bowling ball is very damaging and should be avoided at all costs. Thankfully it is considerably slower than the soccer ball is normally and naturally it cannot bounce off of anything.

### **Up Special**

**Shoot:** A basketball will appear in Pablo’s hands as he leaps a short distance in the air before shooting the ball forward in an arc. This works similarly to Pablo’s Kick special where the basketball travels in an arc and can bounce off something once. However unlike Kick, the angle of the shoot cannot be adjusted. If Pablo uses his Extra Skill, 110% Juice, he can juice up this move with a Power Up depending on how much juice he had.

* **Flyswatter** - At 30% Juice, Pablo will leap up without a basketball and will instead strike with a mighty smack either at the height of his jump or if he reaches an opponent in the middle of his jump. This smack hurts more than you would think and is effective at knocking opponents away. As a bonus, it’s got the power up Butter Fingers mixed in which knocks any item the opponent is holding out of their hands.
* **Dunk** - At 60% Juice, when Pablo reaches the height of his jump instead of shooting the basketball forwards in an arc he’ll instead spike the basketball straight down. If this hits an opponent they’ll be meteor smashed straight down.
* **Frostbite** - At 100% Juice, Pablo’s basketball will be covered in a layer of ice adding a little bit to its damage. If the basketball makes contact with an opponent it has a chance to freeze them instead of doing any knockback which can leave them open to further attacks.

### **Down Special**

**Throw:** Pablo will take a step back as he pulls out a football and tosses it through the air. Like with several of Pablo’s other specials, this football will fly in an arc but while the soccer ball and basketball drop off fairly soon, the football will fly quite a bit farther before it starts to fall down to the ground. Unlike both the soccer ball and basketball, the football will not bounce off of surfaces.

* **Super Punt** - At 30% Juice, Pablo won’t throw the football at all, instead he will drop the ball before kicking it up into the air. This essentially reverse the normal behavior of the football’s flight. Instead of it going far horizontally, it will now go high up into the air before falling down with very minimal horizontal distance at all.
* **Sonic Boom** - At 60% Juice, Pablo’s football gains earthshaking properties! When the ball strikes an opponent, or an obstacle, it will cause a small aoe rumble. This increases the damage dealt by the football and will cause any opponents who are on the ground in its range to trip. If an opponent is in the air when this effect hits them, it will drop them towards the ground without meteor smashing them.
* **Leap Frog** - At 100% Juice, Pablo will leap forwards through the air instead of throwing the football. The distance is a fair bit less compared to the basic Throw, but the damage is increased as it's now Pablo tackling into an opponent instead of just throwing a ball at them. Be careful when using this near a platform’s edge or you just might find yourself running over the edge.

### **Final Smash**

**Home Run:** Pablo Sanchez will toss a baseball up in front of him as he activates the Aluminum Power power-up and pulls out a thick bat made of aluminum. When the ball falls back down Pablo will swing his aluminum bat with all his might and say, “Let’s play ball!” in Spanish. Upon impact the baseball will massively grow to be about Bowser-sized as it flies forwards in a straight line all the way to the blast zones. This baseball goes very fast and is heavily damaging to any opposing fighter that makes contact with it. At point-blank range this move is a guaranteed kill if Pablo hits an opponent at 100% damage with the aluminum bat itself.

### **Extra Skill**

**110% Juice:** This Extra Skill relies on building up a meter by having Pablo Sanchez land hits on opponents. Unlike some other meters, this one can only be filled by Pablo landing attacks and it fills up more when Special Moves are used. This meter is found below Pablo’s Damage and has a juice box with “110%” written on it next to it. When the meter is at 0% the juice box will look scrunched up, but it will fill up as the meter is filled.

By pressing this Extra Skill Pablo will drink all the juice inside of it which can power up his Special Moves for a time. When this happens Pablo’s Special Moves will be replaced by different power ups found in the Backyard Sports titles and the level of juice needed for them is listed with those moves (30%, 60%, 100%). These move upgrades won’t last forever though. The juice will only power up Pablo for 10 seconds. After that, Pablo’s special moves will revert back to their base values.

While Pablo’s third tier of power ups needs him to have 100% of his meter charged, this meter can actually extend up towards 110%. If Pablo waits to drink his juice until after he’s reached 110%, then in addition to upgrading his Special Moves to the third tier he will also be healed 10% damage.
