Werten (SSBU)

Werten is an unlockable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Urban. He is a clone of Hoshi, and is from his original's titular franchise.

Werten's position on the tier list is currently unknown, however, he is considered to be superior to his original. Werten is known for his very powerful moveset, as well as his good air game and several different camping options. He is also a difficult character to combo and has a very good range. He overall has very positive matchups, doing well against characters with limited range options and/or have a floaty nature. He currently has no disadvantageous matchups, with only three against Huang, Meta Knight and Yoshi being considered even.

Despite all these positives, Werten is not perfect. His slow falling speed hinders his endurance, and makes him vulnerable to the upper blast lines. His moveset is also predictable at times and may have trouble with fast characters, with tools that he is vulnerable too. He also lacks the speed and endurance that his original has.

Aesthetics
Werten plays similarly to his original, though he is overall slower, stronger and heavier. Like Hoshi, Werten can wall jump and crawl. Werten is a middleweight character, with one of the slowest falling speeds in the game.

Werten has a unique shield in this game, which is a blue sphere. Instead of getting smaller, it gets bigger. It can also absorb projectiles, healing Werten with a 1.5x multiplier. However, if it gets too big, Werten will not only get dizzy, but will also take 20% recoil damage.

Differences to Hoshi
Werten is overall slower but stronger than Hoshi. Werten is also more about power, compared to Hoshi, who is more about giving opponents status effects.
