Scrat


Scrat is a prehistoric saber-tooth squirrel who is obsessed with acorns. His antics prove to be some of the most important in the Ice Age universe, causing many insane global events to happen way earlier than they should, such as the seperation of the continent of Pangea, the melting of the ice caps, and even sending an asteroid hurtling towards prehistoric Earth. Scrat was merely trying to store his acorn away for winter before he suddenly was plunged through the Collider. Confused, he continues to find a place to store his acorn.


Scrat is a one button character with access to devastating Stage Breaks, which break the stage in half or even thirds, provided he's allowed to perform his Nut move for 7 seconds. Scrat is not super in-depth as he tends to lean on being more of a joke character, but his single move has multiple applications.

Gimmick: Acorn

Scrat carries around an Acorn, which he keeps very close to him at all times and is trying to store it away for winter. His only move is Nut, which lets him store the Acorn into the ground, stomping and jumping on it for multiple seconds. Scrat does not have Finishers, but instead if he keeps stomping on a acorn for seven seconds, he will generate a Stage Break- a destructive, deadly force of nature that will kill almost all opponents. For each stage type (Household, Construction, Sport, and Toy), the Stage Break is different.
Moveset
Nut
Scrat takes his acorn and slams it into the ground. If the player holds the button, he will jump and stomp on it repeatedly, creating a crackline in the stage that can eventually rupture it entirely in half over the course of 7 seconds, causing a Stage Break. Soft platforms can be broken using the acorn as well, only taking 3 seconds to break. If done in the air, Scrat will drop down and can spike opponents for 11 damage. If he connects with a opponent while hitting the ground, he can Bury them and continue to hit them for 3 damage each 30 frames until they break free.

If Scrat is hit while trying to store his acorn, the acorn will stay embedded into the ground, and Scrat will have to recover it. Opponents can grab and throw the acorn to deal 6 damage.
Stage Breaks

Home Wrecker
Household Type
When Scrat breaks a Household-type stage, the walls crack and ceiling begins to fall onto the stage as it splits in half, seperating from itself as it begins to slope outwards, making it both hard to stay on and avoid damage from ceiling tiles, which spike and deal 18 damage on contact. Scrat will gain invulnerability and ultra-instinctive dodging as the stage breaks. After five seconds, Scrat from the future will appear and reverse everything, putting the stage back together.

The Meltdown
Construction Type
When Scrat breaks a Construction-type stage, the stage will break in half and the sides will capsize on a slope towards each other before a volcano emerges from the center, going off. Lava hails from the sky, dealing 15 damage and causes the burning effect on touch. Lava will also flow from the center, dealing 17 damage if touched and sending opponents flying back from the damage. Scrat will gain invulnerability and ultra-instinctive dodging as the stage breaks. After five seconds, Scrat from the future will appear and reverse everything, putting the stage back together.

Touchdown
Sport Type
When Scrat breaks a Sport-type stage, the stage breaks clean in half, creating a gap as a bunch of Ice Age era Dodos appear with three melons, tossing them back and forth between each other. Catching the melon can allows your character to eat it for 20 health, although Dodos will attack your character, constantly inflicting damage onto you (anywhere from 4-11 damage). Flying melons will deal 10 damage while being stampeded on by dodos deals significant knockback, although dealing only 7 damage. Scrat will gain invulnerability and ultra-instinctive dodging as the stage breaks. After five seconds, Scrat from the future will appear and reverse everything, putting the stage back together.

Collision Course
Toy Type
When Scrat breaks a Toy-type stage, the stage splits into three chunks, which fall through the sky at varying speeds, sometimes going higher or lower than the other. A spaceship will also appear to abduct characters, dealing 30 damage if caught and immediately spiking them out of the ship. Additionally, the ship can sometimes fire laser acorns that deal 11 damage. Scrat will gain invulnerability and ultra-instinctive dodging as the stage breaks. After five seconds, Scrat from the future will appear and reverse everything, putting the stage back together.

Your honor, my client is just a funny squirrel with no moral conception for his actions. He lets nature flow through him. You can't prosecute nature- throw this case out of court.
