==Introduction==
'''Doctor Flatskin''' is an all-rounder/setplay character with powerful space control and easy access to knockdowns.

==Gameplan==
Flatskin plays a very "standard" game, controlling space with 5B, 5C, and Fightning Feet. If the opponent gets antsy and jumps, all of Flatskin's grounded anti-airs lead to a knockdown, which can be used for pressure or Vine setup.

{{Bio-MKD
|quote =My degree is in botany. Please stop coming to me for medical advice.
|lore =Ever since Steve "The Cheese" Montero's shocking betrayal, Flatskin has been biding her time, sowing the seeds of revenge. With Steve back in town to host a fighting tournament, she knows that this is her chance to even the score.
}}

==Pros and Cons==
{{ProConTable
|pros=
*Fightning Feet controls a huge amount of space both on the ground and in the air
*Anti-airing with either Fightning Feet or Normals lead to knockdowns
*Has access to best normals such as 5A, 4B, and 5C
*Amazing "checkmate" potential, using Vine or FF for chip after knockdown
|cons=
*Vine can be difficult to use in some matchups
*Fightning Feet is unsafe if not spaced

 |push=1
 |chip=
 |description=5B and 4B are powerful space control options that both control the ground and give a knockdown on anti-air. B normals are only unsafe at point blank range and cannot be whiff punished, so they have the least risk at range 2.

 |description=Jump forward and do an inverted lariat that can KD on hit, and side switch on hit or block. Beats a lot of the same options that a j.B can, but it's even slower and won't hit most jumping attacks--except another j.C.

If it does connect, '''beats any air attack.''' Flashy hard read option to call out jumping. Yet another way for Flatskin to KD a jumping opponent.

 |onhit=KD
 |push=1
 |attributes=Late-moving
 |chip=1
 |description=Moves forward 1 space after range check. Faster up close due to lack of forward movement. Fightning Feet is a core part of Flatskin's kit, creating a huge hitbox that leads to a knockdown. Unsafe on block if not spaced, used to control the opponent's movement at far ranges.

 |chip=-
 |description=Plants a Vine. Flatskin is completely vulnerable during this, so only use from a safe distance. Not all knockdowns guarantee a Vine setup, as far reaching attacks can still connect if the opponent calls you out. If you weren't hit, you can deploy a Vine by attacking on a future turn. Choosing to Block or Throw delays the Vine from coming out.
 }}
 {{AttackData-MKD
 |version=Vine
 |header=no

 |range=2/2 (exact)
 |guard=All
 |blockadv='''<span style="color:green">10</span>'''
 |onhit=KD
 |push=
 |attributes=Projectile
 |chip=2
 |description=If you attack with a Vine ready, a Vine will deploy exactly two spaces away from you (after movement), or the corner, if it's closer. Having this in your pocket gives you some options. You can combo off it for big damage, use it to cover some extra range where another move can't, or add some extra safety/chip on block. It also absorbs far-away fireballs.
