Knuckles the Echidna

Sonics long time ally, Knuckles the Echidna is ready to rumble!

The Mii
First off, for the Mii I used the WiiSPN Mii that you can find on YouTube as a Mii Brawler gave it and the Knuckles headgear and outfit, of course.. Also, for the voice I found that Type 10 Low works best as knuckles voice

The Moves
For his Neutral special, he fires a flurry of quick punches [Flashing Mach Punch] which represents.. his very strong fists.. His side special is a Dash toward into another Lot of punches [Onslaught], Another generic Punchy Attack, however Knuckles has used dash based attacks in games before. His Up Special is one, powerful uppercut [Thrust Uppercut] that is more of an attacking move then a recovery option due to its low height gain. Finally, For his Down Special, Knuckles enters a headfirst Dive with a Kick [Head-On Assault], like in the Sonic Adventure Games.

The Style
The Spirits are focused on Knuckles main characteristic of having a poor jump height most notable in Sonic 3 & Knuckles and Sonic Mania, there for, I obviously used the Land Style, as, while this doesn’t limit his jump as much as Runner style, it provides a boost to his Power on the ground and limits Air attacks!

The Spirits
As for the Supporting Spirits, Knuckles has more focus on high power, his first support spirit, ‘Hyper Smash Attacks’, allows for his most powerful attacks to be used more frequently to launch opponents, for his second spirit, I chose to use ‘Fist attack Up’, an obvious pick as it boosts the power to most of his punching moves, which would make sense given his spiked gloves. For the last spirit, I chose ‘Impact Run’ which allows him to knock past opponents by dashing, this is actually a reference to his appearance in Sonic 3 & Knuckles And Sonic Mania, where he can knock down walls by running, instead of needing a Spin Dash.

Analysis
Overall, Knuckles has a very unique powerhouse playstyle, as if you go offstage too far, you will learn to regret it due to the very poor recovery, so, the Moral of the story is, stay grounded, especially if your playing as Knuckles

Summary:
The Ray MK II with Land Style: 1 Support Spirit with Fist Attack ↑ 1 Support Spirit with Hyper Smash Attacks 1 Support Spirit with Impact Run
