==Introduction==
==Introduction==
With Chespin on his shoulder, Chesnaught barrels through the opposition with brute strength in numbers. Chesnaught is a relatively straightforward character, playing best at midrange. Chesnaught has two kinds of moves to use in midrange; low-commitment and high-commitment, both with their own strengths and weaknesses. Low-commitment moves like 5a, 2a, and 4a have strong hitboxes and low recovery, and all can be buffered into specials to secure knockdowns and extra damage while remaining safe. High-commitment moves like 3a, 6a and 2b reach further and can open a defensive opponent up, but their long start-up and recovery can cause you to get stuffed out or punished. Chesnaught's moveset has ways to mitigate these risks however, predominantly in Bullet Seed.
Protecting a Chespin on his shoulder, Chesnaught believes “The best defense is a good offense”. Chesnaught can do a great job controlling the midrange with long normals while also doing an excellent job of waiting an opponent out, forcing your opponent to make mistakes and getting hard punishes off them using his signature move Bullet Seed (5B) which can help him extend his combos with no meter, or go in while you are super plus on your opponents block.


Bullet Seed may very well be Chesnaught's character-defining function. Feeding your little buddy a berry with 5b allows Chesnaught to cancel into Bullet Speed (Spit) after a wide variety of normals and specials by hitting 5b again, leading to huge plus-frames on block and hit. This can remove the risk of being punished by cancelling around the recovery frames of the normals/specials entirely, and additionally the massive plus-frames created from the blocked 5b can enable you to use key mix-up tools like 2b without risk of being hit during their lengthy startup. Bullet Seed can also be used to create new optimal damage routes, enabling combos into sweep and cancels from 6b which lead to Chesnaught's most rewarding combos. On top of all these uses, Bullet Seed is by far the fastest projectile in the game once loaded, managing to surprise opponents from anywhere closer than fullscreen into potential combos/guard pressure. While it may seem like spamming Bullet Seed is a recipe for success, often the threat of just having it loaded is enough to change the pace of battle.  
Chesnaught is a character who can play until timeout. With his high health and endurance. On top of that he has Guard Berry (24B) which adds armor to the startup of his forward advancing moves and restores his health by 11%, An invincible charge input DP and an air parry. Using these tools effectively makes Chesnaught a defensive powerhouse.


While Chesnaught does not build meter particularly well, his options to spend meter are top notch. Guard Berry (214b) is another way to mitigate the risk of his higher-commitment options, adding armor to the startup of 6a and 2b. This armor is not unapplied until the move actually armors through an opponent's challenge, giving you free reign to control neutral until said condition. On top of this effect, the berry will slightly heal you and refresh your guard health. Nothing in this world is more satisfying than winning via time out with some health from your Guard Berry. A potentially even stronger use of your meter is with Thorn Upper ([2]8b), a massive move where Chesnaught swings his arm upwards. This move requires charge to utilize but is fully invincible from frame 1, a combo-starter on counterhit, hard to punish, as well as one of Chesnaught's highest-damaging combo enders that leads to pressure on hit. Successfully hitting a Thorn Upper launches a thorn behind the opponent, forcing them to wake up into it and make a choice between taking more damage or letting you run a mixup on them.
Chesnaught's main drawback is his speed and sluggish buttons, he has a slow predictable jump, an 8-frame startup on his 5A, and cannot effectively chase down opponents who are running away or zoning without spending resources.


Chesnaught's main drawback is his speed and pressure. Chesnaught is one of the slowest characters in the game, making it a struggle to get in on opponents who prefer to fight at a further range than you. Once Chesnaught gets in, his combo enders will often leave you a half-screen away, meaning you have to fight to get in again rather than staying in and gaining offensive momentum. If Chesnaught manages to close that distance again, his tools for opening up the opponent are generally reactable and offer him no way to continue offensive pressure without C-Cancels and pre-stocked 5bs. All is not lost though of course, as team work can make the dream work. Chesnaught's 4a is maybe the best anti-air in the game, hitting behind his head thanks to Chespin and dealing massive damage when cancelled. Chespin's Bullet Seed (spit) allows Chesnaught to deal some of the highest damage in the game meterlessly and with very little risk. Falling Fortress (j.B) allows Chesnaught to take risks in neutral that other characters cannot, punishing the opponent for checking his sluggish jumps and dashes with armor. Patient play, optimization, and effective risk assessment will be sure to land you in the Hall of Fame. Good luck, dynamic duo!!
If you want a weird bulky May/Ramlethal/Happy Chaos fusion then this is the character for you. Patient play, optimization, and effective risk assessment will be sure to land you in the Hall of Fame. Good luck, dynamic duo!!

*'''Huge Normals:''' Attacks like 3a, 6a, and 2b cover ranges the opponent may have difficulty challenging from.
*'''Bulky:''' Chesnaught has the highest endurance value in the game & close to the highest health value which he can recharge with 24B. Chesnaught can afford to sacrifice his health as a means to win the round.
*'''Strong Antiair:''' 4A is lightning fast with a great hitbox above Chesnaught's head, which leads into great damage when cancelled into 2B/[4]6B.
*'''Space Control:''' The creation of thorns, a fast moving projectile, and large buttons like 3A, 6A, and 2B cover ranges the opponent may have difficulty challenging from.
*'''Bulky:''' Close to the highest health value, as well as the highest armor value which he can recharge with 214b, means that Chesnaught can take a lot of punishment.

*'''Sluggish Movement:''' With a lumbering walkspeed, underwhelming forward dash, and larger amount of prejump frames compared to the rest of the cast, it can be difficult for Chesnaught to outmaneuver their opponent.

*'''Zoned Out:''' Aforementioned slow movement along with a rather chunky build and having a fireball you have to load (5b) means that Chesnaught can struggle in projectile heavy matchups.
*'''Sluggish Buttons:''' Chesnaughts fastest button (5A) has a whopping 8f startup, leading to him often time being stuck in the corner, landing parries is essential.

Introduction

Protecting a Chespin on his shoulder, Chesnaught believes “The best defense is a good offense”. Chesnaught can do a great job controlling the midrange with long normals while also doing an excellent job of waiting an opponent out, forcing your opponent to make mistakes and getting hard punishes off them using his signature move Bullet Seed (5B) which can help him extend his combos with no meter, or go in while you are super plus on your opponents block.

Chesnaught is a character who can play until timeout. With his high health and endurance. On top of that he has Guard Berry (24B) which adds armor to the startup of his forward advancing moves and restores his health by 11%, An invincible charge input DP and an air parry. Using these tools effectively makes Chesnaught a defensive powerhouse.

Chesnaught's main drawback is his speed and sluggish buttons, he has a slow predictable jump, an 8-frame startup on his 5A, and cannot effectively chase down opponents who are running away or zoning without spending resources.

If you want a weird bulky May/Ramlethal/Happy Chaos fusion then this is the character for you. Patient play, optimization, and effective risk assessment will be sure to land you in the Hall of Fame. Good luck, dynamic duo!!


Playstyle
PKMNCC Chesnaught NavboxIcon.png Chesnaught is a walking tank with oppressive midrange, with berry buffs that can quickly change the pace of battle.
Pick if you like Avoid if you dislike
  • Bulky: Chesnaught has the highest endurance value in the game & close to the highest health value which he can recharge with 24B. Chesnaught can afford to sacrifice his health as a means to win the round.
  • Space Control: The creation of thorns, a fast moving projectile, and large buttons like 3A, 6A, and 2B cover ranges the opponent may have difficulty challenging from.
  • Sluggish Movement: With a lumbering walkspeed, underwhelming forward dash, and larger amount of prejump frames compared to the rest of the cast, it can be difficult for Chesnaught to outmaneuver their opponent.
  • Sluggish Buttons: Chesnaughts fastest button (5A) has a whopping 8f startup, leading to him often time being stuck in the corner, landing parries is essential.

  • Allows for gapless pressure off of any normal, while easily confirming off any hit cancelled into it
  • Also allows for significant extensions when cancelled from 6B
  • Clashes with other projectiles making it weak in fireball wars, but functions as a decent zoning option
  • Despite being a projectile, moves that are projectile immune (ex. Bewear 2B) will lose to this
  • Additional hits can whiff on shorter hurtboxes (Falinks, crouching Toxicroak, etc.)
  • On hit, you can confirm to a 3A to build meter.

Chesnaught charges forward with his shield.

  • Connects for more hits the closer the opponent is when the move starts
  • Great hitbox makes it a pseudo-reversal at midrange, beating out other buttons on prediction

Chesnaught charges forward with his shield and uppercuts the opponent.

  • Chesnaught travels nearly fullscreen, great option when reacting to projectiles
  • Allows enough time to juggle after this move hits at most heights when the final hit connects late, mainly into 6A or 5B
  • Scaling kicks in enough here to reduce the damage of the last hit to 5, so raw Shield Smash is effectively an 8 damage move, not a 9 damage one.

Chesnaught swings his arm in an uppercut, launching a thorn.

  • Chesnaught's most reliable reversal, but requires charge
  • Drops a thorn on block and on hit that deals one damage when stepped on
  • Strong combo ender, as the opponent will end up waking on top of the thorn giving you relatively strong oki
  • Allows for a juggled combo on counterhit

Chesnaught exercises self-care via berry.

  • Heals 5 HP, refreshes endurance, and adds armor to 6A & 2B.
  • Armor is not removed until those attacks actually absorb a move, or your opponent lands a strong blow against you. Carries between rounds.
  • Removes poisoned status, key tool against Toxicroak
