Introduction

Our puzzle champion finally arrives! Lopunny is fast, has upgradable attacks that lead to a massive finishing blow, and is the size of an average human mother. If you like overwhelming your opponents with an ever present smile, Lopunny might be the character for you.

Lopunny uses a unique resource system known as Star Power. Upon successfully landing a Special or Hyper, Lopunny is granted the corresponding Star, and the move is upgraded, gaining new properties. For example, Dizzy Whip gains the ability to Dizzy the opponent on counterhit. Lopunny generally spends the first round collecting the red, yellow, blue and purple stars before running the opponent over with the combos they enable. Once the final round is drawing to a close, Lopunny can then spend all these stars on the extremely powerful (and flashy) Last Resort!

When it's not worrying about its star collection, MLop enjoys rushing the opponent down with its blisteringly fast run, Bunny Hop, and even certain specials like Nova Kick and Lightning Blitz. Once it's got you knocked down, it can enforce 3-way mix with Bunny Hop's extremely plus-on-hit follow-ups and convert into its signature high-voltage juggles! It's also blessed with its whip moves, giving it a safe blockstring ender with devastating counter hit reward and even a command grab, leading to formidable corner pressure.

Sound up your alley? Then hop to it!

Playstyle
Mega Lopunny is a mixup character who upgrades her moves with Star Power, then utilizes those moves for an oppressive advantage state.

Pick if you like	Avoid if you dislike
Mega Mixup: Lopunny has impressive mix that can lead into full combos once its resources are built up. Hare Trigger: Lopunny is exceptionally speedy, and can even carry over the momentum from her dash into an attack. Resourceful Rabbit: A unique resource system in Star Power gives Lopunny high snowball potential, dealing large damage with its star combos. Full-Force Fireworks: Lopunny has the ability to spend its accumulated stars on its otherwise free super, closing out the final round in the blink of an eye.	Mandatory Upgrades: Lopunny requires you to spend time building your stars up to gain access to your best combos, meaning it starts out on the weak side. Mediocre Range: Lopunny has unimpressively sized ground normals and a projectile that decreases in range dramatically on hit; it lives and dies by its mobility.

Combos

Combo Theory

Lopunny's main combo-relevant stars are .
& allow for better conversions off their respective moves, though makes some juggles impossible.
allows for basically any combo off of CH 5B.
& open up new combo routes entirely.
Required stars are in parentheses next to the combo's title, while stars earned are below the combo.

S-Lightning to Nova Double Route (Close Version) ()
5AA x 6B 5AA x 2B j5A x j5B

Note: Wait a little before using 5AA after the 6B.
It's possible that the far version still may work up close depending on the character, but this is far more consistent.

S-Lightning to Nova Double Route (Far Version) ()
5AA x 6B 6A x 2B j5A x j5B

>>

Note: Wait a little before using 6A after the 6B. It's possible that if you buffer the 6A, a 4A may come out instead, making the combo better since you can also 6A after it.
However, hoping for a 4A can be inconsistent since timing the combo around it makes drop if a buffered 6A (which can happen depending on specific spacing and character hurtboxes) comes out instead.
If you're unsure of this route working in the moment, you can also simply walk a little to close distance before using the previous route.
