Plasma Wisp

“	Alright, how about I introduce these fellas, who appear in 'Super Star Ultra'? This is 'Plasma Wisp'! Its body looks like a flame, and you can get the 'Plasma Ability' from it! It buids up electric energy and then fires off several different moves! Must be pretty handy to be able to create energy all by youself!	„

Able to assist in the defeat of Meta Knight, and has shown capability of forming various combat strategies and adapting to defeat different, unpredictable opponents.

Weaknesses: Plasma Wisp's levitation is limited in speed.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Plasma Beams: Serving as close ranged attacks, Plasma Wisp will shoot a barrage of miniature energy bullets towards its opponent. Although lacking in much power, they have an advantage in speed, repetition and the lack of difficulty executing them.
• Plasma Arrows: Typically thrown in successions of 3, these plasma attacks have the ability to take form into that of arrowheads which resembling that were commonly used by the Native Americans. They have greater range and power than the beams do, however are more difficult to pull off and lack as much speed. As well as not being able to spam them as much as Plasma Beams.
• Plasma Blast: While seemingly the best of the attacks, having the greatest range, speed and power, this attack can often be limited. The Plasma Blast is the most difficult to execute, and takes a while to charge up a sufficient enough energy to release. Potentially leaving Plasma Wisp vulnerable to attacks.
• Plasma Guard: Plasma Wisp solidifies its body and takes the shape of a green sphere. This technique will increase its durability and make it less vulernable to attacks, though restricts its mobility severely and prevents PW from being able to attack.
• Space Jump: A technique most Kirby characters have, Plasma Wisp transforms into a small ball of energy which turns out to be intangible, he uses this power to mobilize himself or regroup with mates faster. Any carried item is transformed too, as proven by other users of Space Jump.
