Bomberman (Super Smash Flash 2)

Bomberman is a starter character in Super Smash Flash 2 hailing from Konami's (formerly by the defuncted Hudson Soft) series of the same name. The White Bomber's design is based around his appearance in the game Bomberman Generation, where he is despicted wearing a red scarf and golden bracelets.

Bomberman currently ranks 9th on the current tier list. Bomberman has good combo potential, a solid air game, good air speed and kill moves in all of his smash attacks, a fully charged Bomb, his back and forward aerial. He has a unique projectile in his bombs which he can place up to nine bombs at a time on the stage. He can move the bombs around giving him good stage control. He has solid aerials that give good knockback. He has two chain grabs that can lead into bomb kills. The big hitbox on his head gives him good range when it comes to juggling. Jetpack gives him a good vertical recovery. Bomberman has decent mobility with a decent dashing speed, good air speed and the second fastest walking speed.

However, the big hitbox on Bombermans' head is also a big hurtbox and when combined with his falling speed makes him susceptible to combos, chain grabs and zero-to-death combos. His recovery covers a great vertical distance, but covers little horizontal distance. His bombs can be reflected which means his stage control can be countered. Outside of his head; his range is short and makes him vulnerable to characters wirth disjointed hitboxes.

Attributes
Bomberman is good at stage control with his Bombs with being able to pull out three bombs of three different sizes and being able to use Bomb Kick to move them across the stage. He has a big hitbox in his head which makes him good at juggling his opponents. Jetpack gives him great vertical recovery. He can kill with all of his smash attacks, his forward throw, a fully charged bomb and his forward aerial. He has two chain grabs in his up and down throw which can help him set up bomb kills or racking up damage. He has a decent air game with his solid aerials. His down tilt can be used repeatedly to rack up damage on many characters.

However, the disadvantage of Bomberman's big head is that it also works as a big hurtbox which leads him to being easily combo'ed and chain grabbed because of it, his recovery gives little horizontal distance and his bombs can be reflected which can counter his stage control (it doesn't stop him from kicking or detonating those bombs, however). He also has problems in his range which leaves him vulnerable to characters with disjointed hitboxes (ex. and ).
