Akko is my dear daughter!
First Appearance: For the Frog the Bell Tolls on the Gameboy in 1992 (Japan only)
Prince Sable is the main protagonist of the game For the Frog the Bell Tolls, who is the prince of the Sabure Kingdom. As he travelled in his quest defeat the powerful King Delarin, he gains powers of transforming into a frog and a snake.
When he transforms into a frog, his jumping ability rises up to a high scale, but his strength becomes to an all-time low. When in Snake form, he damages opponents to their death and has increased speed, but his jumping ability falls off the charts into 1! And as you would expect for a human form, it's the balance between the two form. The transforming aspect can be make him interesting character to play as. If Sakurai were to pick a character from the Gameboy era, Prince Sable would be an awesome choice! Anyone who played it would remember its satirical and light-hearted moments the game had, exploring the land in a Zelda-esque fashion. In fact, there were some characters from the game that made appearances in the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Wario Land 4.
Is he good enough to have a spot in the Smash Bros. Cast? Realistically, probably not for Smash Switch, as it is more likely that retro choices like Takamaru and Balloon Fighter will be chosen. But....... I feel there is hope that there will be a revival for this series from Intelligent Systems one day. Until then, I will still heavily support the character, and you are free to do so too! Prince Sable getting an AT in Smash 4 is at least a small step forward! I hope for a nearby bright future for For the Frog the Bell Tolls from Intelligent Systems soon!
Potential Movesets:
Special Moves:
Neutral-B:
Dust!: Prince Sable swivels the ground to create dust that stuns opponent for a moment to give priority to do a quick attack. It only last as much as the time Mewtwo used Disable on an opponent.
Side-B:
Whip: Prince Sable turns into a Snake to whip out the opponents straightforward. However, this move does not damage the opponent, but rather make a good knockback far enough to escape from a situation.
Up-B:
Frog Jump: Prince Sable turns into a Frog to jump very high but in a straight vertical way (Just like Luigi’s Super Jump, only higher and a small delay occurs before using). This move does not make knockback, nor does damage anyone. It’s a risky move to use.
Down-B:
En Garde!: Much like Marth’s counter, only it’s a multihitting attack by jamming the special butting to attack more. This move can only be used when Sable is near the opponent(Not Jigglypuff correctly using Rest near, just a little far than that). Oddly enough, this does not create knockback, but it’s worth pummeling out lots of damage out of En Garde!
Smash Attacks:
Side-Smash: Prince Sable turns into Snake form to bite the opponent in great knockback. This attack also stuns the opponent for a short period of time (Referencing how Sable could turn enemies into blocks using Bite) before the knockback begins if you wanna pummel some more.
Up-Smash: Prince Sable turns into Snake form to jump and bite the opponent in the air.
It’s a straight-forward move but powerful in damage and knockback.
Down-Smash: Prince Sable Turns into Snake form to Whip around a circle of knockback. Although not as powerful as the smash attacks, it creates good all around hitbox around Sable for space.
Aerial Attacks:
Neutral-Air: Prince Sable turns into Frog form to scramble attack (much like Luigi’s dash attack) with good knockback at the end. This is good to annoy the opponent, as it fastest to use.
Forward-Air: Prince Sable swings his sword in the air twice for good knockback. Much like Metaknight’s F-Air, only a little slower and better in knockback.
Back-Air: Prince Sable turns into Frog Mode to kick backwards for great knockback. Like Mario’s Back-air, only better in damage and knockback.
Up-Air: Prince Sable turns into Frog Mode to headbutt in the air for good knockback.
D-Air: Prince Sable turns into Frog Mode to kick downwards and (guarenteed) meteor smash. Although it does not do damage and it only can be used when below the opponent, when using D-air when the opponent is on the ground, it pounces the opponent to lie on the ground. This move has very-fast start-up to make up for it.
Standard Attacks:
Neutral Attack: Prince Sable attacks with his Golden Sword to combo into a finishing (Link-Melee-esque) multi-hit jab attack.
Side Attack: Prince Sable swings his sword upward to create knockback vertically. Pretty good move to use if you want be tricky.
Dash Attack: Prince Sable Stabs the opponent similar to one in the final battle. It has great straight forward knockback with great damage.
Down Attack: Prince Sable turns into Snake form to whip out the opponent with slightly good knockback and damage.
Up Attack: Prince Sable turns into Frog Form to spin attack in the (like Olimar’s up attack).

Up Throw: Prince Sable (In frog form) spits out the opponent in the air and turns into human form to swing his sword in the air for good knockback and damage.
Taunts:
Up Taunt: Prince Sable shows the bag of money (he possibly received back in the end of the game) and drops it (Saying,”Here’s your bet!” in Japanese). The money bag serves as a blocking Sandbag that resists only a few attacks for a short while.
Down Taunt: Prince Sable turns into Snake form and hisses at the opponent.
Side Taunt: Prince Sable turns into Frog form to capture a fly (from the game) with his tongue.
Victory Theme:
Victory 1: Prince Sable turns into frog form and flip bounces around.
Victory 2: Prince Sable plays with his sword and says,”You definitely need some courage” in Japanese.
Victory 3: Prince Sable turns into Snake form and slithers in circles.
Final Smash: Prince Sable creates balls of fire (platform ranged), that if the opponent is surrounded, will be attacked by Sable with the stabs from the final battle, with a powerful stab as the finishing move.[/collapse]
