Sandbag (Super Smash Flash 2)

✅

Sandbag is an unlockable joke character set to make its playable debut in Super Smash Flash 2. It was first revealed in SSF2 Dev Blog #5 on April 1, 2016, and initially thought to be an April Fool's joke. However, a special blog, SSF2 Dev Blog #5.1, was released two days later confirming Sandbag's inclusion as the game's joke character. Sandbag is unique for having only three frames of animation, which were then rotated, stretched, and distorted in Flash to create over 70 unique animations.

Trivia

 * Sandbag's reveal trailer highlighted the revamped item sprites that would later be shown in Dev Blog #7.
 * Sandbag can not grab the ledge and can only move in short hops instead of full sprint, respectively. This makes him the only character with these traits.
 * Sandbag has hitbox data in 0.9b, despite not being playable in that version.
 * In v0.9b, Sandbag did not have a portrait art. Instead, it was a frame from when he was sent flying.
