Tom & Jerry

Don't you believe it, it's Tom and Jerry! Ravage your rivals and send their whiskers away as the Timeless Duo!

(Disclaimer: This mod was made way before the existence of Multiversus, and does not reflect Tom & Jerry's moveset in that game. Please take that how you will.)

Tom and Jerry have stumbled into the world of Aether thanks to an Abyss Portal that opened up when they accidentally re-entered the Digital Dimension. The two decide to one again put their differences aside to show the world of Aether what they are capable of!

Whenever Tom & Jerry are KO'd, you will have the pleasure (or misfortune, depending how you view it) of hearing an assortment of Tom's famously loud screams from the cartoons.

All updates ever made to this fighter can be viewed in the change notes. Please note that the trailers shown are outdated, so some things may have changed.

Tom & Jerry are an easy to use duo-fighter with lots of tricks up their dastardly sleeves, but beware! Tom & Jerry are EXTREMELY light; even lighter than Wrastor. They will get launched very easily if you're not careful.

Below is a detailed list of Tom & Jerry's moveset. They're no strangers to fighting, but this time the cat and the mouse aren't fighting each other, but together, thus making them far more lethal. A fair amount of their moves here in Rivals are heavily inspired by moves that Banjo & Kazooie, Sonic, and Mario have. Tom and Jerry's sprites are taken from Tom & Jerry: Frantic Antics for the Sega Genesis, courtesy of Roket on Spriters Resource: https://www.spriters-resource.com/submitter/Roket/.


Normals:

Jab: A three hit jab, Consisting of a scratch, a tornado kick, and a sideways swipe with Jerry in Tom's hand.

Dash Attack: Tom & Jerry will both curl into a ball, roll across the stage, and finish with a heel kick at the end. This move can deal up to 5 hits.

Forward Tilt: Tom basically does a Horse-Kick for this attack. This move is heavily inspired by Sonic's Forward Tilt in Smash Bros.

Up Tilt: Tom uses Jerry to sweep their upper surroundings and send opponents upwards!

Down Tilt: A two-hit combo attack. Jerry comes out and hurls a punch of his own, and Tom follows up with a tail strike.

Parry: If Tom & Jerry successfully parry any attack that can be parried, they will heal 5%.


Aerials:

Neutral Air: Tom and Jerry whirl into a ball midair, taking any opponents they hit with them! This move is really good for combos, and can deal up to 7 hits.

Back Air: Using his upper body strength, Tom turns himself around and does a backwards drop kick in the air! This attack works similarly to, and is heavily inspired by Mario's Back Air.

Down Air: Tom and Jerry take out an anvil and descend. This attack works similarly to Banjo & Kazooie's Down Air in Ultimate.

Up Air: Tom will relentlessly scratch the air above him for a bit. This move can deal up to 4 hits.

Forward Air: Tom takes out a baseball bat and swings with enough momentum to cover his front side. A satisfying sound plays when the sweet-spot lands. Contrarily, an equally unsatisfying sound effect will play if the attack connects with the sour-spot. This move also has special visual effects for each hitbox, and works very similarly to Mario's forward air.


Strong Attacks:

Down Strong: Jerry is way stronger than your average mouse. To prove it, he will pick up Tom by the tail and slam him against the ground in front of him! A familiar sound from various Tom & Jerry shorts will play whenever the move lands. This move is also heavily inspired by Banjo & Kazooie's Forward Smash.

Up Strong: Tom takes out a chainsaw and does some dangerous flips while holding it! This up strong can deal up to 8 hits. They also use a chainsaw in the brand new movie, so this move makes complete sense.

Forward Strong: A shotgun that has a devastating sweet-spot in the center. Like Forward Air, this move has special sounds and visual effects that play depending on whether the sweet-spot or the sour-spot lands.


Specials:

Neutral Special: Super Spicy Cheese. Say, something IS burning around here! Tom hurls a big piece of cheese that travels across the stage very slowly, but will start to move faster the longer it is out. The initial hit doesn't deal that much damage, but the cheese is so spicy that opponents will suffer from a burn effect! This move has a cool-down of 3 seconds, along with an indicator in Tom and Jerry's in game HUD.

Forward Special: Magic Ring Rush. With the power of the Magic Ring, Tom & Jerry will boost forward to deliver a devastating attack! This move is heavily inspired by Banjo & Kazooie's Wonderwing. Like Wonderwing, Tom and Jerry are invincible while using this move. Unlike Wonderwing, there is no limit on how many times you can use the move, instead it has a cool-down of 5 seconds. A visual indicator for the cool-down on this move can be found in Tom and Jerry's in game HUD.

Down Special: Explosive Counter. Tom temporarily pulls a bomb out of thin air, but will quickly try to put it away. If Tom and Jerry are attacked while the bomb is out, then the bomb will explode, sending the attacker away. The bomb is so explosive that even if the counter succeeds, Tom and Jerry will still take damage, so be careful! This move does not utilize a cool-down, per se, but you will have to wait a split second before attempting to use it again.

Up Special: Heavenly Puss. You'll fly up for a bit, and you can change your horizontal trajectory during your flight before going into free fall. You can also deal a small amount of damage during your flight. This move does not utilize a cool-down.
