Description: Don Lockwood is a Bruiser character who acts as a combo-heavy all-arounder. While his individual hits aren't the most powerful, he can link moves together with ease, with many a burst option available to get in close.
Dash Attack: Doo Doot-Doo Doo - Don, after running, slides to a halt, which kicks up a wave of rain water that crests into the foe for damage. This move gains power if the stage is [SATURATED].
Grounded Neutral Attack: Duelling Gladiators - Don does a series of three high stepping puddle stomps while advancing. With each downward slam, a crest of rainwater shoots upward, hitting the foe. These become more powerful the more [SATURATED] the ground is.
Aerial Neutral Attack: I've a Smile on My Face - A two strike attack where Don first takes off his hat and throws his hat-holding hand outward to the side, and then throwing his umbrella-holding hand to the other side. A very strong attack and a potent get off me tool.
Grounded Side Attack: With a Happy Refrain - Don does a leisurely jaunt forward while swinging his closed umbrella in a circle ahead of him as he goes. This is a multihit move that combos into itself.
Aerial Side Attack: Down the Lane - Don swings his closed umbrella in an upward arc. If the move is pressed a second time, a second hit happens where he opens the umbrella. Opening the umbrella makes Don enter [UMBRELLA MODE].
Grounded Up Attack: Dark Up Above - Don opens his umbrella, holds it up, and spins it above his head. This is a multihit attack, and makes the ground more [SATURATED].
Aerial Up Attack: The Sun's in My Heart - Don swipes his closed umbrella above him in an arc. If pressed twice, he swings it back again the other way, and opens it, activating [UMBRELLA MODE].
Grounded Down Attack: Make a Splash - Don kicks out his leg and splashes a puddle of water upward. The puddle grows bigger and more powerful the more [SATURATED] the ground is.
Aerial Down Attack: Dive Kick - Don Lockwood performs his iconic dive kick. Much like Simon's dive kick in Smash, Don bounces back up on a successful hit. However, when he reaches the apex of his bounceback, he automatically enters [UMBRELLA MODE]. This also makes the ground below him [SATURATED].
Grounded Neutral Special: Moses Supposes - A multihit move wherein Don tap dances, advancing forward with the first two hits. On the third hit, the player has a choice as far as what to do next. If they hold forward or neutral, Don finishes with a series of trenches, with each chop doing damage as a multihit. If up is held, Don soars forward with a leaping high kick, which does extra damage at the tip of his toe, but has trouble hitting smaller foes. If down is held, Don does a spin with his arms outstretched and going in a clockwise motion, which is the most reliable kill move of the three, but doesn't do much damage. These moves, as they involve tapping, do more damage if the ground is [SATURATED].
Aerial Neutral Special: His Toeses Aren't Roses - Don stomps downward and rockets down toward the stage, splashing a puddle of water outward on impact. This does more damage the more [SATURATED] the ground is.
Grounded Side Special: Let the Stormy Clouds Chase - Don opens his umbrella, holds it out, and spins around as he advances forward. This essentially acts as a multihitting Tatsumaki Senpukyaku, while making the ground more [SATURATED].
Aerial Side Special: Everyone from the Place - Same as grounded variant, but Don enters [UMBRELLA MODE] after use.
Grounded Up Special: I'm Happy Again - A [LIGHT POST] appears, and Don uses it to swing upward into the air. Don's trajectory can be altered during ascent to encourage chasing down a foe. Allies in range of the [LIGHT POST] become [ILLUMINATED].
Aerial Up Special: I'm Laughin' at Clouds - A gale lifts Don up as he holds his closed umbrella upwards, before opening it. This is a rising combo attack with a strong finisher when opening the umbrella, making it Don's Shoryuken equivalent. After the umbrella opens, Don enters [UMBRELLA MODE].
Grounded Down Special: Good Mornin' - Don takes his bright yellow slicker and whips it outward like a matador's cape. This does damage up close, but it also launches a blast of water forward that explodes onto whoever it hits, doing damage as a [PROJECTILE]. This move is bigger and more powerful the more [SATURATED] the stage is.
Aerial Down Special: To You and You and You - The same as the grounded variant.
Passive Abilities:
Some of Don's moves involve an open umbrella, which put him into [UMBRELLA MODE]. This mode makes him gently float using his umbrella, similar to Peach in Smash Bros. However, it also gives small damage over time to anyone caught underneath the umbrella's sides, as rain will continually pour down. If the rain hits the stage, it gets more [SATURATED].
The stage becomes more [SATURATED] (displayed as an HUD bar by Don), many of Don's moves get stronger, mostly those that involve footwork. Using [UMBRELLA MODE] and Don's side special can help build saturation.
Don can place a [LIGHT POST] on the stage to [ILLUMINATE] allies in range. Allies in range of the post can see better, giving a slight homing effect to their [PROJECTILES] when used near the post.
