Gulp - Bread on Fire

Gulp embodies the typical aspects of a heavyweight: a strong, slow tank with high damage and knockback. The difference comes in his forms of defense. In addition to a high knockback resistance, nearly all of his attacks have a window of super armor, which also replaces all instances of invulnerablity. This armor is unique in that it becomes weaker as Gulp is damaged, eventually dissapearing entirely. This means it generally a double-edged sword, as Gulp starts a stock with more defense than other characters, but ends it with much worse defense than others.

Gulp's large size means his attacks are also quite large, with the downside of being easy combo food. He also has quite slow movement, but is able to make use of his uniquely fast dodges as a fast, armored approach tool.

Unlike the typical heavyweight, Gulp also has access to a variety of projectiles, allowing him to contest the zoning of other characters. Most of these come from his Item Eat / Item Spit, allowing Gulp to choose the right projectile for each situation. His various projectiles are able to deal high damage, control space, and home in. He has access to even more with the use of Orb Eat / Orb Spit, giving him more powerful projectiles with his ultra.

Gulp's other main mechanic is Earthquake, an unblockable fullscreen bounce that is caused whenever Gulp is knocked down or does down strong. He can disrupt zoning, interrupt combos, and stop charging of resources.

Gulp is an armored tank with strong attacks that uses super armor to force his way through the opponent's offense.

PROS / CONS

Armor: Gulp's armor lets him easily win trades, and avoid punishment when attacking unsafely.
Tank: Gulp survives for much longer than most characters, letting him easily survive higher than 200%.
High Damage: Gulp's attacks do more damage than most, letting him easily get the opponent to kill percent.
High Knockback: Gulp's attacks do higher than average knockback, with some even rivaling other ultras in power.

Grabs and Multihits: Gulp's armor is particularly weak to grabs and multihits, leaving him less protected than he should be, especially with his dodges.
No Invulnerability: rmored Scales replaces most instances of Invulnerability seen on normal characters. This means Gulp is never truly safe from attacks, especially when his armor runs out and he is left with no protection at all.
Combo Food: Gulp is massive, and he easily gets combo'd due to this. It gets even worse once his armor runs out, leaving him with no invulnerability to escape with.
Predictable Movement: Gulp moves slower than other characters, which gives the opponent plenty of time to see his approach coming. Even when using his dodges to move faster, Gulp still can't do much to mix up his options.

Unique Mechanic: Hardened Scales

Nearly all of Gulp's attacks have a window of super armor on them, whenever Gulp's outline becomes grey. This armor is unique in that it only lasts for a limited amount of hits, with the opponent being able to break through if they are fast enough. Specifically, there are two hits of armor from 0% to 75%, one hit of armor from 76% to 150%, and no hits beyond that. Due to that, the armor will eventually lose its function, leaving Gulp very vulnerable at higher percents. He is also always vulnerable to grabs and quick multihits, as they can break through the armor. Also, Gulp still takes damage when armoring an attack, so he should still be careful to avoid attacks.

Hardened Scales is used on:
Jab - 7f (6~12F)
Forward Tilt - 9f (8~16F)
Up Tilt - 10f (6~15F)
Dash Attack - about 18F (8F~Until Landing + 5F
Side Strong - 18F (15~32F)
Up Strong - 13F (10~22F)
Down Strong - 22F (10~32F)
Neutral Air - 5F (5~9F)
Forward Air - 7F (9~15F)
Back Air - 11F (8~18F)
Up Air - 11F (14~24F)
Down Air - 19F (16~34F)
Up Special - 16F (21~36F)
Grab - 12F (8~19F)
Grab Hold - Full
All Throws - Full
Forward Dodge - 6F (2~7F)
Back Dodge - 6F (2~7F)
Spot Dodge - 11F (2~12F)
Air Dodge - 15F (2~16F)

Forward Roll - Full
Back Roll - Full
Edge Up - Full
Edge Attack - 17F (2~18F)
Edge Jump - Full
Edge Dodge - Full
Ultra - Until Selection + 22F

As armored scales replaces just about all instances of invulnerability (except for respawning and first ledge grab), Gulp is ALWAYS vulnerable to grabs. It also causes him to lose most protection above 150%, leaving him much more vulnerable than other characters.

Unique Mechanic: Earthquake

Earthquake is a fullscreen unblockable created when using Down Strong and after being knocked down. While it does no damage, it bounces the opponent upwards, interrupting their actions. It can be used to disrupt opponents attempting to zone, or to break their pressure after they knock Gulp down.

Has the lowest startup of any of Gulp's attacks, but has higher end lag on whiff. Good for stopping opponents who have gotten too close to Gulp. It also cancels into both itself and Jab, allowing for it to get decent damage when actually hitting. Due to the cancel into Jab, it is quite threatening on shield, as a few down tilts into a jab is likely to do a large chunk of shield damage.

An excellent multipurpose move. The jump allows it to go over many attacks, which when combined with the armor makes it difficult to contest. This makes it a great attack to just throw out and hope it hits. It does high damage and knockback, making it quite rewarding. At lower percents, Gulp is even able to combo off of it with his faster aerials. It also spikes when hitting offstage, though this is generally not effective as it always results in Gulp's death, while usually not doing enough knockback to kill the opponent.

Very high damage move that is probably the best showcase for Armored Scales. The armor starts long before the active frames, even covering the charge period. This lets Gulp charge with much less risk than other characters, assuming he still has access to the armor. Due to its size, it can be a difficult move to avoid. This is compounded by Earthquake, as it is Gulp's only option to manually spawn it. This makes it quite safe to use in general, as the opponent will either be getting hit by the attack, or will be attempting to avoid the unblockable Earthquake.

Earthquake is a fullscreen unblocable, which serves more as an annoyance than a real attack. It can be used to interrupt zoning or setups, and can disrupt opponents of created from a knockdown. However, it isn't a particularly useful attack in its own right, as it does no damage and low knockback. In fact, it is actively helpful for opponents offstage, as they are generally able to recover even higher due to it.
