Mash-up of various characters |
Uppercut is a character made by The_None that is considered to be unique, due to the fact that it attacks with nothing but uppercut shots. Since the character can only perform uppercuts, the move list has been restricted to use the punch buttons in M.U.G.E.N (x, y and z).
Most of the sprites used in Uppercut are those from famous characters who can perform an uppercut shot when played as, such as Ryu (the base sprite), Scorpion, Dudley, etc. The nature of these sprites can also be very random, for instance, when he is standing still he goes through the different game versions of Ryu (from the Street Fighter II game, to the Pocket Ryu ones); When jumping your character turns into a monochromatic Kung Fu Man in his running pose moving left to right very quickly, when running you turn into a grayscale Spider-Man and will also continue to run offscreen and reappear at the other side without stopping if you let him do so, with a similar wrapping scenario occuring while you're jumping. Uppercut also has random sprites when he is hit and/or defeated, which are not related to any kind of uppercut at all, such as Apocalypse's head, some random words, several Mortal Kombat characters, a Adam Sandler movie case, and even the Angry Video Game Nerd. When he blocks, he turns into Ice Cube, and Iron Tager.
His attacks have a very unusual nature as some of the most unlikely attacks will end up in a uppercut, for example, when your character does Ryu's famous projectile attack, at the end it will result with Ken doing an uppercut attack, even his air attacks can do uppercuts in a strange fashion, one of them makes your character do an uppercut sideways, which can lead to an opponent flying towards and bouncing back from the edge of the screen. If he blocks long enough, a monkey would sweep everyone away.
AI-wise, Uppercut isn't one of the hardest characters to beat, but he can still be a challenge depending on the skill of the player and the character used.
Trivia
- Most of the voice clips is the famous 'YEEEAAAAAHH!' voice clip from CSI: Miami. This mostly occurs when doing damage to a opponent or winning.
- His select icon and a winpose is the "Deal With It" dog emoticon wearing sunglasses, but his portrait is Von Kaiser from Punch Out!!.
