Editing Command Selection

Upon activation, the Hero will go into a thinking pose, and the player will be given a random selection of four spells from the Hero's spell pool to choose from, with a total of 21 possible spells. In [[Home-Run Contest]], Command Selection will always show Sizzle, Kaboom, Flame Slash, and Hatchet Man in that order. Each spell will use a certain amount of MP, indicated as a number by the spell's name and highlighted on the MP bar in green.

While the list is open, the Hero cannot move, but can cancel the menu with a [[shield]] or [[jump]]. If the player does not want to use any of the spells, they can cancel and reuse the move to generate four new options. If Hero lacks the MP to use any moves that show up in a given menu, those moves are automatically pushed to the bottom of the list. Attempting to use such spells with insufficient MP triggers an animation of Hero trying to hold his hand out to cast the spell but failing. If the player holds the direction behind the Hero upon selection, they will immediately turn around upon executing the spell. The same spell cannot appear more than once in the same menu. Spells cannot appear twice in a row, except between stocks,<ref>https://youtu.be/f4t1poU_Azw?t=248 A clip of a Hero accessing Kamikazee twice in a row.</ref> and through Hocus Pocus, which has a chance to use one of the other spells as its effect. Spells that inflict status conditions can stack with each other and be used simultaneously, but these spells will not appear again in the menu while still active and for a few seconds after wearing off. A common combination is Psyche Up and Oomph, which will grant the next attack incredibly high damage and knockback, as well as a nearly guaranteed broken shield.

''Moves highlighted in the same colour excluding grey will cross-[[stale]] each other, and also will never simultaneously appear in the same menu (slash attacks excluded). Hocus Pocus can randomly select a spell even if that spell or those from the same colour group are also present in the current selection. This contributes to cross-staling the base move and other spells in the same group.''

It has a chance to instantly KO the opponent, with a higher chance for it to occur the more damage the opponent has. It has a very large hitbox that lingers for several frames, and a [[windbox]] around it which pulls nearby opponents in; however, it also has considerable startup lag. It deals only 3% damage and little knockback, and can be reflected, absorbed, and shielded.<br/>
