First Appearance: Pokemon Black & White
Latest Appearance: Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire / Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Oshawott, the sea otter Pokemon would make an amazing addition to Super Smash Bros. Crusade! He would make use of his scalchop (the shell on his belly), and his other water type abilities. Oshawott is a fan favorite Pokemon to many, and is probably the most picked generation five starter Pokemon.
But, what makes him stand out from Squirtle or Greninja?One of Oshawott's most recognizable moves is Razor Shell, where he cuts with his scalchop! This would be the first Pokemon in Smash bros to fight with a "weapon" so to speak. I also incorporated the moves Focus Energy and Revenge into his moveset, something never done before in a Smash game.
We already have Snivy as a fifth gen Pokemon.That is no reason to count Oshawott out.
But... What about Tepig?I will be making a moveset for Tepig in the future. His moveset and playstyle could be highly influenced by the move Heat Crash.
We will have too many Pokemon reps, eventually.There is no limit to the amount of Pokemon reps in Crusade. At least, I haven't seen it stated anywhere.
Without further ado, onto the character statistics and moveset! I tried to cite the origins of each move as best as possible, and I did not include ledge or get-up attacks.

SPECIALS-
Neutral Special (Razor Shell) [13%]
On Land: https://youtu.be/aDD9caYYYvc?t=235
Oshawott runs forward as you hold down B, and when released, Oshawott attacks.
In Air: https://youtu.be/3KGl5gUSXkA?t=41 (Yes, I know that's Dewott & I know the attack missed.)
Oshawott dives downward at a 60 degree angle and strikes on his way down.
Will meteor smash anyone at the right angle.
Side Special (Surf) [1%,1%,2%,2%]
Source: https://youtu.be/IM-Hb9vGPeI?t=172
A multi-hit attack that pushes the opponent very far if caught in front or inside.
Can be cancelled at any time by jumping, and can also be used to recover back to the stage.
Down Special (Focus Energy) [N/A]
Source: https://youtu.be/7Gps70g_A_Y?t=563
Can be used up to 25 times to increase percent given from a special move or smash attack by 2%.
When KO'd or you use a smash attack/special move, the amount of added percent resets.
The larger the yellow aura around Oshawott each time Focus Energy is used acts as the indicator
of how many times percent has been increased.
Up Special (Razor Shell & Aqua Jet) [15%above,4%below]
Source: https://youtu.be/Fabz2h9l3Lk?t=118
Oshawott boosts into the sky at any chosen direction similar to Fox's up special, but is much quicker.
Has a small hitbox above Oshawott, and a long hitbox below him.
-
GROUND ATTACKS-
Jab (Razor Shell) [2%,1%,5%]
Source:https://youtu.be/V3VzaKXepW0?t=454

Sources: https://youtu.be/2hiz2AFbRAw?t=38 & https://youtu.be/tzB848EZ1lw?t=150
Similar to Rosalina's up tilt in Smash 4 but has a bigger hitbox, is much slower, and is blue.
Although, it is also a very good KO move.
-
AERIALS-
Neutral Air (Water Sport) [9%]
Source: https://youtu.be/sVFMxvW4Ngk?t=195
Oshawott sprays water around him as he spins around.
Forward Air (Scald) [7%]
Sources: https://youtu.be/1we4h0h4hXM?t=234 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEQlswjXr04

Does 2% burn damage to the opponent 50% of the time.
Oshawott will gain momentum the opposite direction he is facing.
Back Air (Scald) [5%]
Sources: https://youtu.be/1we4h0h4hXM?t=234 & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEQlswjXr04

SMASH ATTACKS-
Forward Smash (Hydro Pump) [21%]
Source: https://youtu.be/tzB848EZ1lw?t=368
Can be charged for ten seconds. The longer it is charged, the farther it will go.
The max distance is the entirety of final destination, and the minimum is directly in front of Oshawott.
Has a giant amount of lag if charged for long.
Down Smash (Revenge & Waterfall) [1.5x multiplier,min25%]
Sources: https://youtu.be/1we4h0h4hXM?t=234 & https://youtu.be/xbDzWKfX0hc?t=308
Oshawott tenses his entire body and releases a giant waterfall.
Deals no damage normally, is very slow, and acts as a counter.
Oshawott will skyrocket vertically when the counter is landed.
The amount of seconds the attack is charged, is how many times the
percent of the opponent's move is reflected back onto them.
(On a side note, when Revenge is fully charged and is combined with maximum Focus Energy,
this move would be a one hit KO at 0%. However, in a real match this would be very difficult to perform.)
Up Smash (Water Pledge) [18%]
Source: https://youtu.be/ephJPiCx4LU?t=147
Sprays water around Oshawott in a very tall radius.
-
GRABS/THROWS-

Back Throw (Razor Shell) [12%]
Source: https://youtu.be/TxQ6yKeEGzk?t=56
Oshawott throws the opponent behind him, then tosses his scalchop like a boomerang at them.
A good kill throw at high percents.
Down Throw (Blizzard) [3%]
Souce: https://youtu.be/jiiTYtjcmYc?t=280
Oshawott throws the opponent beneath him and uses blizzard to freeze them.
Sends opponent directly upwards when frozen, but if they DI well, they will be sent in another direction.
Does little percent, but can combo afterwards when opponent is frozen.
-
TAUNT-
Up Taunt (Razor Shell)
Oshawott smiles and tosses his scalchop in the air,
he catches it and puts it back on his belly.
I really hope you all enjoyed this moveset I made. It took a lot of time and effort, and was a ton of fun to make. If you have any ideas on how Oshawott could be changed for the better, or if you have any constructive criticism, I would love to hear it. Thank you for viewing!
EDIT (9/18/2016): Edited some things regarding "Revenge" in the moveset. Also, bump for new members.[/b]
