Hoshi (SSBU)

Hoshi is an unlockable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Urban, and is one of the two representatives of the Hoshi series.

Hoshi's original reveal for the game was controversial, due to Hoshi being part-Sackboy, the main protagonist species of LittleBigPlanet, a game exclussive to Sony. However, Hoshi as a character, is not owned by Sony or Media Molecule, and therefore was viable.

Hoshi's tier ranking Is currently unknown. Hoshi's strengths include his fast ground and air speed, his fast and unpredictable attacks as well as his great range options. His fast falling speed helps his endurance and helps him survive from the upper blast lines. He can also camp several characters, particularly those which are slow and have no projectiles.

Hoshi, however, has several flaws. His fast falling speed makes him vulnerable to getting juggled. He is also a very light character, meaning he can get KO'd at rather low percentages. He also may have a tough time recovery due to his Jetpack being linear and rather predictable. He also has a rather difficult learning curve due to the way he plays.

Aesthetics
Hoshi is one of the fastest characters in the game as well as one of the lightest. He also has semi-fast falling speed. He can also crawl and wall jump. He also has the best jump in the game. Though his attacks are pretty fast, but do not have as much power as other characters.
