Down B: Scanner: Dr. Robotnik turns his body slightly to his left, and then he picks up a grey ball, with a green line in the middle, with a camera-looking point on its face, and a little scanner on the top of the grey ball! Dr. Robotnik tosses it forward, about 1.5 Captain Falcons standing next to each other in front of Dr. Robotnik, and you can see a green line coming from the metal ball, about the size of Foxes Blaster, going down-wards from the top of the scanner, to a tiny bit below the ball! The scanner appears for about 1 second, before disappearing!
___What this move actually does, is that when the green line goes over your opponent, it makes the opponents weight lighter, making them easier to knock off the stage, weaker by 0.88 times, and for 2 whole seconds! You might be thinking “that doesn’t sound very useful, it only makes the opponent weaker for 2 seconds” but you would be wrong! If you could kill someone at 100% with a move normally, you can kill them at 88% with this! And when you get hit by this move, it makes you like this for 2 seconds, which is actually quite a long time!
___Wow, this sounds almost broken! What’s the down-fall? Well, when Dr. Robotnik first gets it out, this has quite a bit of start-up and ending lag (but quite a little landing lag, if this is used in the air), and then the actual Scanner Ball has about 0.63 seconds start-up lag, so not only that Dr. Robotnik is quite vulnerable while using this move, the Scanner can be avoided too! But this can make Dr. Robotnik powerful, and using this with mind-games is going to be a serious part of Dr. Robotniks game!
