Weegee

General
Weegee is a Photoshop meme that is based on Luigi's apearance in the DOS PC game [http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_is_Missing! Mario is Missing!]. Luigi has a strange appearance in this game compared to others, with paler colors and an awkwardly stiff stance. This was pointed out in the 4chan forums in 2007, as seen here. Because of his strange look, he became the subject of "facebombing" and other memes. One of Weegee's well-known "powers" is that his gaze will freeze any other who looks him in the eyes and transform the victim into a clone of Weegee. Weegee is generally regarded as a creepy and evil character, but his true alliances are unknown.

Attributes
Weegee is a character who has a totally unique fighting style that reflects his origins as a meme. Most of his attacks are based on memes or involve characters from the Mario universe. For instance, he transforms into Malleo during his Forward Throw and uses a Fire Flower. Some of his attacks are seemingly random, as in his Forward Tilt, where a light saber emerges from Weegee's chest.

Weegee is the heaviest character in SSBC, surprisingly. He is very difficult to KO vertically as a result, but his high falling speed makes him more vulnerable to horizontal KOs than may be expected for his weight class. His movement abilities are below average, so Weegee relies on his zoning moves and traps to win battles. His Forward Tilt, Side Smash, Neutral Aerial, Forward Aerial, and Back Aerial provide great ranged pokes for Weegee, beating out many other attacks at long range due to their disjointed hitboxes. However, these moves are generally slow and require good timing. Weegee can outspace some opponents, but he lacks a reliable finisher. His Smash Attacks pack a decent punch, but they are slow, making them difficult to land.

Weegee has a great projectile attack in his Mirror Theory (SIde B). It's a homing projectile that is large and tough to outmaneuver at mid-range. The downside to it is that only one instance of the projectile may be on-screen at a time. This move makes an effective edgeguard due to its size and homing properties, and it's great for running away while on-stage. Weegee relies heavily on this move for spacing.

Weegee is a very strange, unorthodox character with mixed effectiveness. He has some attacks that are not as effective as others in many scenarios, making him a relatively tough character to learn. His overall weirdness, ease of being gimped, and array of "specialized" moves grant him a spot in C tier (35th) in the current tier list.
