Starban can do what he wants.

Super Tricky Athletic Radical Boy And Nose, commonly abbreviated as Starban, is a character in Brawl 4. Originally from the ultraverse, Starban joins the brawl as a starter character who wields his mind as his primary weapon.

Starban is notable for being at the top of the Brawl 4 tier list due to the very high speed of his attacks, having many attacks with transcending priority, many recovery options that grant him a long, relatively safe and unpredictable recovery, effective wall of pain options, KO moves that are both agile and reliable, and incredible matchups; Starban has no overall disadvantageous matchups.

This does mean that he doesn't have any disadvantages. Starban is a heavyweight character, meaning that he is not knocked out easily, especially against characters with many low-power attacks such as Oni Dark Link. His high air speed and fast grab release animation also make him unsuspectible to grab release combos by certain characters, such as RansomTime, who can't combo Starban. Starban also lacks a damaging attack and must use OHKO moves to attack.

Due to his incredible fighting prowess, general popularity in the Brawl 4 community (he was and is considered "awesome" among many), non-existent weaknesses and over-centralisation of the metagame, all other characters were banned from the only valid ruleset. This makes Starban the only legal character in Brawl 4.

Trivia[edit]

  • Starban is the only character in Brawl 4 to have tech skill. This is because he is not Nintendo.
  • Rumor has it that the only people who have been able to defeat the Starban are Mango Jr., Mecha-Mew2King, and PewPewU who has just turned 21. However, they only managed to defeat a fragment of Starban's being. The entire Starban in his entirety remains undefeated.
  • The only person who has a higher power level than Normal Starban is StarCraft, but Mega Starban (as mentioned below) is much stronger than Super Saiyan StarCraft.
  • He also has a Mega Evolution, which takes in a form similar to a Final Starman.
