==Introduction==
==Introduction==
Embrace your protohistoric power with Great Tusk! Tusk is an explosive, big body mix-up character with some of the highest damage on the roster. It may look slow at first, but once it gets up to speed, it's capable of rapidly hitting your opponent from all sides, leaving them with no room to breath. By taking advantage of its roll stance change, Great Tusk can hurtle across the screen and threaten a unique variety of offensive options. Utilize stomps, earthquakes, rolls, and of course your gigantic tusks to catch your opponent unprepared. Its combos are devastating, deleting the opponent's health bar with the help of its three-hit 6B.

Their combos are devastating, deleting the opponent's health bar with the help of their three-hit 6B.




However, even the powerful pachyderm has it's shortcomings. It's huge size and slow attacks outside of stance make it quite prone to pressure from opponents, and its combo starters, while devastating, are very risky and can lead to a brutal punish if you're not careful. But if you're looking to hit hard, tank through hits and look cool doing it, Great Tusk is a great choice.

Introduction

Embrace your protohistoric power with Great Tusk! Tusk is an explosive, big body mix-up character with some of the highest damage on the roster. They may look slow at first, but once they get up to speed, it's capable of rapidly hitting your opponent from all sides, leaving them with no room to breath. By taking advantage of their roll stance change, Great Tusk can hurtle across the screen and threaten a unique variety of offensive options. Utilize stomps, earthquakes, rolls, and of course your gigantic tusks to catch your opponent unprepared. Their combos are devastating, deleting the opponent's health bar with the help of their three-hit 6B.


However, even the powerful pachyderm has it's shortcomings. It's huge size and slow attacks outside of stance make them quite prone to pressure from opponents, and their combo starters, while devastating, are very risky and can lead to a brutal punish if you're not careful. But if you're looking to hit hard, tank through hits and look cool doing it, Great Tusk is a great choice.


Playstyle
PKMNCC Great Tusk NavboxIcon.png Great Tusk is a beefy tank who can change stances on a whim to dash in and overwhelm the opposition.
Pick if you like Avoid if you dislike
  • Pachyderm Pokes: 5A, 4A and jA dominate the screenspace with great hitboxes.
  • Sturdy Spinner: Great Tusk has the highest health value in the entire game alongside Bewear, in addition to a very high endurance, allowing them to shrug off tons of damage.
  • Mammoth Mixups: Great Tusk has high/low, left/right, and throw mixups that are all incredibly rewarding.
  • Devastating Damage: Great Tusk's optimal combos can turn the tide of battle very quickly, deleting your opponent's health bar in a couple touches.
  • Keep Rolling: Great Tusk's roll stance allows them to quickly change their playstyle, which can be bewildering to the opponent.
  • Lumbering Giant: Great Tusk is huge, and their movement and attacks are all quite slow outside of stance, making them prone to pressure and combos.
  • Unorthodox Style: Being a stance character, Great Tusk's gameplan can be a bit unobvious with so many options.
  • High Risk, High Reward: While Great Tusk gets a lot of damage off their combo starters, they are almost all minus on block or unsafe.
  • Low Meter Build: Great Tusk has no ways outside of counter hit to combo into sweep, making them rely on parry and throw to build meter.
