Nooby
Overview
Nooby was the fourth character added to RInspired, added on version 0.8.0. He is a fast and expressive fighter with multiple different attacks that have unique mechanics and that are fun to play around with. His combo game is fluid and can go in many different routes, making him a powerful mix-up character.
Playstyle
His grounded attacks are great at setting up combos; specifically moves like Down-Tilt, Jab and Up-Tilt. Forward-Tilt is moreso a strong get-off-me tool. His first Jab can combo into his other tilts as well.
His aerial attacks give Nooby a large variety of moves to use. Neutral-Air and Up-Air are great for comboing, Back-Air and Forward-Air are great kill moves and Down-air is the usual spiking attack. Forward-Air is a 2-hit move, similar to jab, which can let him combo his first hit into another move.
His special moves can be useful in certain situations. His Up-Special is the standard recovery move, which can also attack forwards to mix up your recovery pathing. Neutral-special launches a strong rocket projectile that can lead to combos. Down-Special is a very strong move that has a large startup time, but gives Nooby armor when using it. Side-Special makes him go on a skateboard, where you can peelout to deal damage.
Nooby's throws are straightforward. Down-Throw is a useful combo starter at low percents, while Back-Throw is a strong kill move.
