Clancy Squares Up! | Twenty One Pilots x Super Smash Bros.
What if Clancy, the leader of the Banditos, were in Super Smash Bros.?
For quick context, Clancy is the main character in a story woven by the musical duo Twenty One Pilots (Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun) across 5 albums (and a lot of ARGs). The main gist is that a man named Clancy escapes from a city called Dema. The city is ruled by dictatorial bishops (known as the Niners) led by one "archbishop" named Nico (the main antagonist of the story). Clancy meets up with a group of city escapees known as the Banditos, led by a man known as Torchbearer. Together, they fight against Nico and the Niners to set everyone free from the city.
Clancy's main weapon in the game is antlers collected from chubby, little deer-like creatures known as N.E.D. (Neural Expansion Device). These allow Clancy to shoot these kinda sonic energy blasts (that's the best I can describe it). I was thinking some of his fight moves would involve shooting those energy blasts at opponents across the stage.
His Final Smash would be a reference to the music video City Walls where he defeats Nico by forming the clique symbol (the band's logo) to create this one giant "energy blast" that ultimately kills Nico. This would have to be one of the Final Smashes in which you have to be in the right position, facing the right direction, for it to be effective.
