xSSBC_Ashley_Stock.pngAshley(アシュリー) is the young witch from the WarioWare games who lives alone in a haunted mansion and often buddies up with the shape-shifting imp companion Red. While she is an often emotionless and studious with her magic, her lack of experience backfires her spells. Despite this, she still lives to be the best witch in the world, and her iconic song also reveals she's possibly lonely. She debuted in WarioWare: Touched! and has shown up for nearly every game since.
Ashley's most notable mechanic is the use of her Star Beam. Her Side Special has a variety of purposes, and all of which are activated with it's charged variant. It affects other players, Magic Broom's star projectiles and Summon Cloud projectiles in substantial ways.
Game Plan
"3 good things about the character". "Unique Mechanic".
A charge projectile special. At low charge, this stuns the opponent for a brief time with the shortest reach. At a middle point of charge, this gains more reach and has knockback to shoot them away from her and reset neutral. At full charge, this deals no damage, however they are locked in a dizzy state for a free punish and it has the largest reach among these levels.

A proper chargeable projectile which can be angled up or down on charge. At low charges, this shoots a small star at a set distance. Mid charge allows you to angle it and it flies farther. On full charge, it flies the farthest and turns into a giant star, which on hit turns opponents into various food items, most notably Pumpkins. This beam can also affect other special moves.

Ashley flies on her magic broom, which leaves little star projectiles behind. An excellent recovery option and has surprisingly good knockback on both herself and the projectile, this move has some niche uses outside of being a recovery option. If the star projectiles are hit with a full charge Star Beam, they leave little star petal projectiles that do no knockback or hitstun, but can easily rack damage.

Ashley summons a cloud. If Down Special is pressed again, she activates the cloud to strike underneath them, much like a trap. It's very effective off stage for ledge guarding, and the fact the cloud also has a hitbox that punches them away, leading them to be unable to recover properly or suffering a punish. If a Star Beam hits a cloud, it turns into a Blue Cloud, which deals more damage and stuns for a much longer period of time. If a Star Beam hits it one more time, it becomes a Dark Cloud, which does the most damage and stun, and also sends an unfortunate opponent upwards.

Summons a giant plant through her wand, which grows rapidly into a giant beast that spurts thorned tentacles as Ashley and Red watch it grow in horror. Very effective on small stages, as a greatly placed plant creature can make life difficult for a recovering player on top of you still being able to move.
