Johnny Bravo

Johnny Bravo is a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. All Stars. He was announced during E8 2008 Nintendo Direct on August 23rd 2018. He is one of thirteen thirdary newcomers.

Johnny Bravo is currently ranked 37th out of 113 on the tier list, placing him in the I tier. Johnny Bravo has unarguably the best grounded attributes in the game: he possesses incredible grounded movement and dodging speeds, while his traction is among the highest in the game. This is made better by his multiple combo-breaking options such as neutral air and Focus Attack, all which have quick startup and make him surprisingly difficult to juggle, while the latter two also allow him to start damaging combos due to the good damage and speed of his moveset. This makes most of his attacks among the strongest in the game when he is highly damaged, with his smash attacks, up and back throws, and his up and back aerials each being easily capable of KOing.

However, Johnny Bravo retains many of his flaws. His large hurtbox has become even larger, which makes him even more susceptible to combos than before, while his poor vertical recovery continues to render him very susceptible to edgeguarding. His recovery is also poor, with none of his special moves providing much upward distance and most of him being easy to gimp. Despite his mobility, he does have trouble contending with projectile camping, while Handsome Bravo is a predictable recoverymove due to its linearity.

Overall, Johnny Bravo is still a viable choice in competitive play, but requires more precision and patience to get similar results. Furthermore, he is likely an underpicked choice due to a small amount of knowledge from players of his gameplay.
