NASB 2 is the worse one

Proud husband and not-so-proud father, disgraced former bowling champion, and elected dog catcher; Ed Bighead is Rocko's despicable yet occasionally relatable middle-aged neighbor - a cane toad of many talents but very little integrity, working up the ladder of the Conglom-O corporation. He's basically the cloth that Squidward was cut from, just a little more openly malicious (well, I say "a little" but he did build a death ray that one time...)

The proto-Squidward serves as a ROB style heavyweight zoner. His main weakness is being very, very slow.

  • Light: Slap! - Ed slaps forwards, with his hand expanding (Reference: none)
  • Light Up: Geyser Trouble - A geyser of water comes out of the ground, making Ed jump up and scream, this move is quite long for a light move in NASB, but the jump is high enough to get Ed onto certain platforms and can be cancelled into regular jumps or his up special. The geyser doesn’t have a hitbox. (Reference: Pipe Dreams)
  • Light Down - Cleaning the House - Ed hoovers forwards. Can be repeatedly used like April’s Dlight. (Reference: Unaired Pilot Intro)
  • Light Dash - Pinhead - Ed throws a bowling ball forwards. This projectile can’t be reflected, but strong attacks will destroy it like light attacks would. He doesn’t even need two balls to win this one! (Reference: Gutter Balls, name is a reference to Cabin Fever)
  • Light Air - Nose Master 3000 - Ed takes off the Nose-Master 3000 to reveal that his eyes have transformed into noses. The hitbox of this move is on the machine, not the noses. (Reference: Canned)
  • Light Up Air: Clowning Around - Ed juggles bowling pins as a multihit attack (reference: Closet Clown)
  • Light Down Air - Eye Slam - Ed’s eyes stretch out of their sockets and slam down. Spikes. (reference: recurring gag)
  • Strong: Sweatin’ In Your Undies - Ed bashes his absolutely audacious amphibian butt (alliteration, what’s that?) into the foe, complete with wacky fart sound effect. If the princess is allowed to do it, why can’t he? (Reference: Old Fogey Froggy)
  • Strong Up: Fogey Bogey - Ed swings a golf club up (Reference: Teed Off)
  • Strong Down: Gasp!! - Ed, holding important paperwork, reels back in shock and shouts “I’M FIRED??”, spreading the paper everywhere behind him in an arc. In a match between Ed and Rocko, the RPS advantage of this move against Rocko’s mid strong makes the best way to react to getting fired literally reacting to it! Hits both sides (Reference: recurring character trait)
  • Strong Dash: Super Manky Ball - Ed rolls around in a Zorb ball (reference: Wacky Delly)
  • Strong Air: Pirate Slash - Ed gets out a “pirate sword” (plunger) and spins in an arc. Getting drowsy yet? (Reference: Sailing the 7 ZZZ’s)
  • Strong Up Air: Car Hijack - Ed hijacks a car in panic, sending foes up as he plummets down (Reference: Frog’s Best Friend)
  • Strong Down Air: Big Shoulders - Ed poses with his big cardboard shoulders, then slams them down. A laggy spike move somewhat similar to Ittle Dew’s Strong Air in Slap City (Reference: Ed Good, Rocko Bad)
  • Special: Throwing Plates - Ed throws a plate forwards for this saucy attack (referring to the uncleaned stains, of course), this is a very weak attack that freezes foes in place, and drops when it hits - Ed can then follow it up with any attack. If the move is used again before cooldown expires, Ed can stretch his tongue, this serves as a long-range grab on projectiles in most situations, but can also shatter the plate and create an even bigger hitbox. If it hits a foe, it's basically just a regular hit. (Reference: recurring character trait)
  • Up Special: Toad on Toast - Ed pops out of a toaster as a vague green blob, he goes straight up, with the toaster falling and eventually exploding like Bowser Jr’s up special, somewhat similar to Ren & Stimpy’s up special, but angleable with a proper projectile that moves and can be thrown or reflected. (Reference: Opening titles)
  • Down Special: Magic Meatball - Ed throws the Magic Meatball down, which bounces, becoming faster but less powerful the more it bounces. Ed can pick it up and throw it down to be fast and weak instantly, or throw it up to let it be slow and powerful for a little longer. Throwing it forwards resets the cycle. (Reference: Magic Meatball)
  • Super Move: Heat Ray - Ed spawns his giant heat ray and blasts it onto the battlefield. The angle can be changed. (Reference: Wacky Delly)

Now I think about it, shouldn't he be called "Ed Bigchin"?
