Garchomp Fighter Thread
Garchomp is a large heavy-weight Pokemon that has a greater emphasis on speed and mobility than its peers. With its trademark offensive pressure it can trap you in a disadvantageous position the likes of which is usally reserved for the faster combo-oriented characters. The setups it's able to do and the almost unfair percentages at it can kill are only balanced out with its lackluster and predictable recovery. Even with this weakness, Garchomp is given more than enough tools to completely demolish and bury his competition.

Garchomp's accompanying stage would be the Distortion World, an eerie and bizarre dimension in which physics and logic do not conventionally apply. With floating islands, trees growing into the earth, and waterfalls flowing wherever they please, it makes for a unique battleground that heavily affects how players would fight.
