PeanutButterGamer

**PeanutButterGamer** is the twentieth character in *Smash Bros Lawl Beatdown*. He was the winner of the first Empty Slot Voting.

## Character Description

PeanutButterGamer is a gaming YouTuber and reviewer, well-known for his reviews, Top 10's, Hacking videos, Hardcore series, Zelda Month, and odd obsession over *Arthur*. He's eccentric, easy going, and usually leads into non sequiturs often.

#### Role in the Beatdown Lore

PBG was invited through a "popularity poll" that he was the winner of. Upon winning, he was invited and shown off to the residing Mansion members. Dr. Watts explained to him what he had to do and when he had to return to the Mansion, but PBG just zoned it out. One week later, Watts sends him a letter asking to actually come back to the mansion. Realizing he forgot, PBG panics and runs all the way back to the mansion while singing the *Sonic Heroes* theme song, but he trips and passes out. Markiplier finds him in the backyard and greets him. He gives PBG a small tour and introduces him to some of the other fighters. When PBG suggests they play the *Arthur* board game, everyone leaves the dining room, much to his dismay.

In *BeatdownBound*, after initially refusing to play with him, Frisk takes PBG up on his offer to play the *Arthur* board game, and while they set the game up, PBG finds a piece of Tord's wanted poster, which he gives to Frisk.

## Moveset

### Playstyle

PeanutButterGamer is a very eccentric YouTube gamer, with his videos focusing more on jokes from wacky moments in games or his own off-brand humor. As such, PBG has plenty of tools to mix-up his approaches. Being able to throw out quick attacks makes a good PBG player able to keep opponents on guard at all times. Having a Neutral B that foes cannot read lets him set up fairly easily and put his quick attacks to good use.

### Special moves

While flailing, he will gain a continuous hitbox which loses power over time.
Inputting a Smash Attack in this state will result in the following:
Side Smash: PBG will run forward through anyway walls or traps while saying "I'm riding dirty..."
Up Smash: PBG's neck will extend upwards and hit opponents.
Down Smash: PBG's legs will extend outwards hitting opponents.
 Side special
 Up special
 Down special
If a projectile comes near Smiley Man, the projectile will turn into MySims games which are slower and deal less damage.
PBG can also pick up Smiley Man and place him elsewhere or use him as a counter attack if he gets hit.
 Final Smash
A cross-hair will appear in the middle of the screen which PBG can aim at opponents to shoot.
Once an opponent is hit 3 times, a cutscene will initiate where PBG rapidly fires at the opponent with his gun doing a large amount of damage. The cutscene ends with Cappy flying away offscreen.
