This is my favorite newcomer so a chance to see the abilities this character uses is something I’ve been looking forward to. People who are avoiding spoilers…well good luck to you. You’re going to be happy when Brawl comes out.

<strong><em>Squirtle</em></strong>
<strong><em> </em></strong><strong>Up Special</strong>
Waterfall: Squirtle’s recovery move. Like spawning salmon, Squirtle leaps up the waterfall to return to the stage, or to just attack.

<strong>Forward Special</strong>
Withdraw: Whether this can be used to block damage is doubtful, though does look like it’s a fun attack, similar to Yoshi’s Forward Special from Melee. Unknown, though quite possible to be charged, like Jigglypuff’s Rollout.

<p align="left"><strong><em>Ivysaur</em></strong>
<strong> Neutral Special</strong>
Bullet Seed: Shoots a stream of seeds from Ivysaur’s back “straight up in the air.” I personally am expecting this to be aimable, otherwise I don’t see it being hugely useful.

<p align="left"><strong>Up Special</strong>
Vine Whip: Honestly, who didn’t see this coming? Used to grab the edge like Link’s grapple, Ivysaur shoots out a vine whip to grab the stage. Not sure what this attack would be like on the ground, like Sheik’s Chain from Melee perhaps?
<p align="center"> <img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/pokemon_trainer_070829d-l.jpg" alt="If you're gonna show us Kirby with any new characters, show him wearing a new hat Sakurai!" /></p>
<p align="left"><strong><em>Charizard</em></strong>
<strong> Neutral Special</strong>
Flame Thrower: Enough said.
<p align="center"> <img src="/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/pokemon_trainer_070829e-l.jpg" alt="Hey Fox, not so hot now, huh? Ahahaha!" /></p>
<p align="left"><strong>Forward Special</strong>
Rock Smash: Charizard picks up a rock and headbutts it toward his opponent. It does damage. Look, it’s pretty straight forward, so I’m not going to bother with a lot of description. I think I can trust you guys to work it out.
