RESERVED FOR:
LEON PALOWSKI- The TRUE Heir of the 3rd (Or 4th) Smash Spot in 4.
Leon, the cool slippery dude. His real strength is in his lithe and agility, being able to run circles around the enemy with his movements alone.
And he's a new character.
THAT'S RIGHT PEOPLE.
A STAR FOX CHARACTER THAT'S NOT A CLONE.
Anyway, on to statistics:
Power- 1: Last I checked, chameleons aren't too strong or powerful.
Speed- 4: I also checked that they're fast on their feet. Leon is about as fast as Pikachu.
Jump- 3: Did you know that chameleons don't need to eat or drink? They can live on air. This normally land bound creature now has average jumping ability.
Weight- 2: Well, Leon's species isn't too heavy. However, he has fast falling speed.
Height- 2: Nor are they large. Leon's normal height would be 4, but he has a hunched position like Wolf's only more reptilian.
Wall Cling/Jump- Yes, and he can hold on to walls for up to five seconds before falling.
Crawl- Yes, and JESUS. His crawl is FASTER than his dash, around the speed of Falcon!
Wall Climb- Wait a minute, WHAT WHAT WHAT?!? Yes, Leon can climb walls for exactly however much time he is on a wall. Upwards or downwards, is your choice.
---------

A,A: Backhand Swipe- Leon comes back with his left claw as he performs a backhand on the foe. 4% with minimal knockback.
A,A,A: Rising Lizard Knee- Leon ends the combo by sending his right knee upwards. 7% with small knockback.

A^: Hi Jump Kick- Leon jumps into the air with a sky high kick. 8% damage with high vertical knockback. Narrow range.
AV: Tongue Trick- Leon lashes out with his tongue at ground level. 3% damage with no knockback. Trips under 25%.
Fsmash: Tongue Slash- Leon swirls his tongue around, then quickly sends it about two character lengths forward. 12% and high knockback.
Usmash: Reptile Flip Kick- Leon crouches down as he prepares to leap, then flip kicks into the air, then lands. 10% with high vertical knockback. High vertical range.
Dsmash: Assassin's Sidewinder- Leon spins parallel to the ground with his feet outstretched. 12% damage with low knockback.
Dash: Chameleon Leap- Leon jumps into the air, while tucked into a ball, at the opponent. 7% with medium kockback.
Nair: Tailspin- Leon, tucked into a ball, spins around battering foes with his tail. 6% with low knockback. Highly defensive move.
Fair: Deathly Heel- Leon spins around in the air, then lands with a skull-shattering heel to the foe. 13% with spiking potential.

Dthrow: No Mercy- Leon throws the opponent down, steps on his throat, then shoots the foe three times with his Blaster. This leaves the foe on the ground and cannot be teched out of. 17% damage.
B: Spike Mine- Leon sets out a spike mine to float around wherever he puts it. These mines are the size of bumpers and will explode on contact with any thrown item or foe. Only two may be out at a time. Medium knockback and 13% damage.
B^: Tether Whip- Leon sends his tongue outwards at a long range and alarming pace. The best thing about this move, other than its damage (17%!) is that it can go THROUGH any foe on a ledge and right onto the ledge itself. High knockback and on the ground, he sends his tongue forward.
BV: Camouflage- Leon, being a chameleon, turns invisible for about five seconds, before becoming visible again. This has the same mechanic as Wario Waft as the less time you use it, the more proficient the invisibility will be. However, abusing this move will only result in an enraged Leon.
B>: Backup Saber- Leon tosses a small energy dagger spinning towards the foe. Quite swift and will likely hit the foe if they don't know it's coming. Does electrical damage as well. Has a slight arc to it when tossed, so if skillfully used, it can stop someone from recovering. 7% damage and low knockback.
Final Smash: Palowski Finisher- Leon's eyes bulge as he dashes forward at a medium speed. This is a bit like Marth's, except it doesn't go ALL the way across the stage. However, it can cross Battlefield in one shot. If Leon collides with someone in the dash, Leon begins to cackle evilly as the battle freezes except for Leon and his unlucky pal. Leon slowly but ominously draws his hidden nodachi as he begins eyeing it, murmuring, "I think I'll TORTURE you for a while..." Leon then slices at the foe wildly as the foe takes massive damage, then Leon suddenly stops and sheathes his sword, then takes out his seldom seen blaster, points it at the foe's head, charges it to max, then fires a rather frightening energy blast, which likely sends the foe to his death. Does 64% damage and incredible knockback. May only be performed on the ground, but the range is narrow enough that an attempt to single jump over it will fail.
Taunt 1- Leon cracks his knuckles.
Taunt 2- Slowly blends with the background, then turns back to normal.
Taunt 3- Leon crosses his arms in disappointment, then scoffs.
Victory 1- He is balanced on his tail as he mutters,"But only to be expected..."
Victory 2- There's a small blur in the background, then Leon appears from his camouflage.
Victory 3- He turns to the losers, muttering, "Where's that annoying bird?" If Falco is INDEED there, he says, "I am the greater pilot!"
Loss- Leon turns invisible out of shame.

Snake: Hey, Mei Ling, this guy here looks like a lizard. Cosplay or something?
ML: No, Snake, that's Leon Palowski, a pilot under command of Star Wolf, and rival to Falco Lombardi.
S: You mean feather boy? Huh. Should I take this guy on like the others.
ML: I wouldn't recommend it Snake. HE's actually different from the others.
S: What? You're kidding right?
ML: I know! It's kind of good to see something fresh from a common universe, don't you think?
S: Mei Ling, you've got to stop being so philosophical...

SSE Role:
Leon, bored of his current position with Wolf, decides to search for Falco Lombardi, his sworn enemy, and kill him. This cutscene is shown before Luigi is PWND by Dedede.
After beating Duon with Marth, Meta Knight, and Ike, Leon is shown watching them from above, crouching beside his Wolfen. He then hears a beeping, which is his radar, which shows a small bloop three miles west of his position. He grins evilly as he hops in to fight his feathered friend.
After you beat the jungle level with Falco, Fox, and Diddy, Leon is seen hiding on the Great Fox, who then scowls at the sight of Falco, and leaps along the Great Fox, then leaps in front of Falco, getting into his battle stance. The two fight, and depending on who you choose, the loser is then trophitized. Leon/Falco then grunts in disapproval, then revives the loser. In either case, Fox points to the large Halberd, which Leon notices, then nods in agreement to help them.
After Diddy frees Donkey and the Primids appear, Leon takes his leave, not returning until Tabuu appears. He then assists Kirby in helping revive the others.
