That's right, Petey support thread here. I'm a huge Petey fan, and I was shocked that I didn't find a support thread for him! I mean, I only just joined, but I did search for it.
Petey is my all-time favorite Mario character, and would love to see him as a playable character in the next Smash Bros.
MOVESET:
[collapse=Moveset by MechaWave]
Introduction
Petey Piranha (ボスパックン
is a humongous Piranha Plant that is thought to be the King of Piranha Plants. Ever since his apperance in Super Mario Sunshine he has gained
extreme popularity (for some odd reason), thus allowing him to appear in a lot of Mario spin-off titles. While not appearing the the Galaxy games, he is Dino Piranha and Peewee Piranha are basically a tribute to him, so you can count them sort of. Petey Piranha was scrapped from Mario Kart Wii (he still has a CSS icon in the game) and Mario Sports Mix (he still has model information), more than likely because of time issues and in favor of Daisy's stage, respectively.
While you all may doubt his inclusion in Smash 4 as a playable character, he should not go unmentioned. He was on Sakurai's Brawl poll and has a lot of popularity. Other than the argument between Bowser Jr. and Toad, you can also put Petey Piranha there because there is no one else. Who knows he could appear alongside Bowser Jr. or Toad. Nevertheless I don't think he'll be included, but this moveset is to show that he does have a fighting side to him.
Attributes
Petey Piranha is your typical heavyweight: slow with strong attacks. However Petey has great aerial mobility with 4 jumps and the ability to fly. Petey may have slow attacks (most of them being his Smash attacks), he cannot be KO'd easily. Petey is not as big as he is like in the SSE or
Sunshine. Probably the same as in
Double Dash!!.
Think of him somewhat smaller than he is here.
Strength: 10/10
Weight: 10/10 (Heavier than Dedede.)
Speed: 5/10 (With those stubby legs he can move around nicely.)

Attack Speed: 4/10 (Slow for most attacks.)
Aerial Mobility: 7.5/10
Water Mobility: 5/10
Shield: 10/10 (Humungous.)

+ All attacks have incredible power, most with huge knockback
+ 4 aerial jumps and the ability to fly freely means great recovery for his weight class
+ Can KO early
+ Good stage control
+ Range is amazing
Cons
- Huge size means an easy target
- Slow attacks
- A lot of KO moves mean most moves don't combo into others
- Petey does terrible against characters with extremely fast attacks (MK)
[collapse=Regular Moves/Tilts]
Jab : Leaf Sweep
Petey hits in front of him twice with his leaf arms.
Very fast, comes out on frame 1. Petey's fastest and safest move, even OoS. 5% first hit, 4% second.
——————————————————————————————
Forward tilt : Leaf Slap
Petey swooshes his leaf arm with great force at an angle.
Sort of slow but a good move. KOs well. Can be used to reach someone in a place you can't necessarily reach them (ledge). 10%.
——————————————————————————————
Up tilt : Petey Headbutt
Petey thrusts his head upwards with great force.
Petey's best KO move. Fast and strong with a huge hitbox because of Petey's massive head. A whopping 14%-15%.
——————————————————————————————
Down tilt : Petey Swoosh
Petey swooshes his body forward.
While it does KO well it has 2 hitboxes that last the whole move, meaning it's one of Petey's few multi-hitting moves. Is it good? Yes! Somewhat slow, though (but what did you expect?). 13%.
——————————————————————————————
Dash attack : Petey Twirl
Petey spins like a ballerina, hitting multiple times.
Does a good deal of damage if all hits connect (they usually do). Doesn't KO as early as Petey's other moves. 13%-15%.[/collapse]
[collapse=Smash Moves]
Up Smash : Petey Headspin
Petey shows off his crazy dance skills by spinning on his head while twirling his stubby legs above him.
Fast startup but slow ending lag. 18% uncharged, 25% fully charged.
——————————————————————————————
Side Smash : Piranha Bite
A piranha's signature move: bite. Petey opens his mouth and chomps the opponent. Petey also acts like a magnet, attracting his opponent closer to him like Ganondorf's utilt.
Incredibly powerful with amazing range. While slow, landing this move isn't hard. 20% uncharged, 29% fully charged. Possibly the most powerful regular move in the game.
——————————————————————————————
Down Smash : Double Leaf Repel
Petey wipes his leaf arms to both sides of him.
Petey's weakest Smash, causing above-average knockback and reasonable amount of damage. 15% uncharged, 19%-21% charged.[/collapse]
[collapse=Aerial Attacks]
Neutral aerial : Double Leaf Swipe
Petey swipes both of his leaf arms at an angle (one at a higher angle, the other lower).
Terrible move because of Petey's size. Causing moderate knockback and moderate damage, while having low range it's one of Petey's worst moves. 11%-12%.
——————————————————————————————
Up aerial : Upper Bite
Petey extends his neck and opens his mouth for a quick nibble.
Fast move that KOs around 90%. Good range. 13%-14%.
——————————————————————————————
Back aerial : Aerial Leaf Swipe
Petey swipes his leaf behind him with great force.
Another killer that Petey posses (not like he didn't have enough of them.) 12%-15%.
——————————————————————————————
Down aerial : Stubby Drill
Petey extends his stubby legs and drills the opponent. Meteor smashes with the last hit.
Think of it like Kirby's dair but stronger. 14%-16%.
——————————————————————————————
Forward aerial : Petey Spike
Petey, with mighty force, slams his head causing the earth to create a canyon.
Slow startup but if it hits your opponent is in for a deadly meteor smash.[/collapse]
[collapse=Special Moves]
Neutral special : Graffiti Upchuck
Petey prepares to vomit goop onto the stage.
This move is a staple in Petey's metagame and allows Petey to approach. You can charge this move allowing for more goop and for the goop to travel farther. While charging you can also angle Petey's head so the goop travels where you want it to. It's not nessecary to charge because Petey already vomits enough goop by just pressing the button.
If the opponent goes over the goop, he/she will experience slippery movement (similar to ice but not identical) and attacks experience either startup lag or end lag. The move comes out fast but Petey can only vomit 3 barrels (lol) of goop onto the stage (else the whole stage would be slippery). Petey obviously does not experience slipperyness.
At times Swoopin' Stus will come out of the goop. Depending on color they do different levels of damage. If Swoopin' Stus leave the goop area and proceed to an area of the stage without goop, they will leave a trail of goop behind them. They only last 5 seconds and fall off of ledges. They will wander without any purpose if there is no opponent anywhere. They don't KO opponents and cause low knockback. Blues cause 4% damage, Greens do 6% and Reds do 8%.
Goop Piranha Plants appear too but aren't as big as regular ones. They cause moderate knockback and do 12% damage. They are less frequent than Swoopin' Stus. They're about the same size as in the picture.
Petey can also spit goop while airborne.
——————————————————————————————
Side special : Tornado
Petey prepares to swipe his leaves so fast that he creates a tornado.
Almost as broken as Meta Knight's Mach Tornado. The more you charge it the farther it travels. It has 3 levels of charging. Level 1 does a maximum of 12%. Level 2 does a maximum of 16%. Level 3 does a maximum of 21%. That is, if all hits connect. It has incredible vertical range.
——————————————————————————————
Up special : Fly
Petey hops up a little then proceeds to fly freely.
A very simple recovery. Think of it as R.O.B.'s recovery. Petey has a maximum of 5 seconds to fly freely then he will turn helpless. If you press the button to Fly, then use Bair, and fly again, Petey will then have less time. Petey must reach the ground so that he doesn't become tired. His meter will then quickly regenerate and you can then fly again for 5 seconds.
Basically: ROB's recovery and Pit's recovery combined.
——————————————————————————————
Down special : Petal Gun
Petey detaches his flower petals from his head. They travel as fast as Sheik's needles.
Petey's projectile, and a good one too! They're basically identical to Sheik's needles but can be angled with the control stick. Petey will shoot all of his petals when you press the button, so you'll have to press it again to make him stop shooting, so they're not as versatile. Petey's petals grow back in less than 2 seconds.[/collapse]
