Zelf

Description
Lore:
The ex-tribe leader, who had used an artefact created by his people to transform into his current appearance after they were massacred by the cruel emperor of Gaia in order to gain the power of 1000 men. He embarked on a quest to take revenge for his fallen tribe. Along the way, he encountered people who persuaded him to let go of his personal vendetta and focus on overthrowing the empire for the victims' sake. After successfully overthrowing the emperor, he became the new ruler of Gaia and travelled to the neighbouring land of Aether to improve his abilities and face tougher challenges, leading his crew along the way!

Zelf is a heavyweight that taken inspired by other heavyweight characters.

PASSIVE - CRACK
Zelf's ability allows him to create Cracks, which can be generated by pressing the special button when his gauge is full during a strong set-up. When an opponent is sent into a Crack, they will deal damage and be launched even farther in a specific direction. His neutral special and forward special can interact and bounce off from the cracks.

NEUTRAL SPECIAL - CANNONBALL
Zelf takes out a cannonball and throws it. The longer you hold down the neutral special, the more speed and range increase upon release. However, do not hold it for too long or you will be in for an explosive surprise!

FORWARD SPECIAL - ANCHORANG
Zelf throws an anchor forward as a projectile, which acts like a boomerang. He cannot use the move again until he retrieves the anchor.

DOWN SPECIAL - BELLY COUNTER
Zelf puffs out his stomach and, when attacked, he counterattacks with his belly. If he is attacked from a greater distance, he can unleash the projectile attack.

UP SPECIAL - MIGHTY JUMP
Zelf performs an extremely high jump, then crashes down, dealing damage both during upon landing on the ground. The distance of the jump can be extended by holding down the up special button for a longer period before releasing it.
While in mid-air, pressing the up special button again will cause Zelf to perform a punch before continuing to fall helplessly.

This project has been in the works for a very long time, and I am pleased that I was able to complete it for enjoyment. Honestly, I would not have been able to finish it without the assistance of my friends and those who supported me throughout the process.

@AvoiseTheNoise

No, my character is inspired by heavyweight characters such as King K. Rool, Ganondorf, King Dedede, and others from various fighting games, like Bob from Tekken.
And One Piece character's body anatomy.
Just because a character's big-boned, doesn't mean they're a fetish.
The internet has ruined this archetype.
