Alpha should have seen it coming. Thwomp violates the game with the "set my position above the enemy" button. It's a completely free recovery.

[@UnlimitedRun]

​@@TheLegendsmithI wouldn't say _completely_ free. 7:25 shows Charlie Brown making Thwomp actually lose a stock, by being offstage while Thwomp attacks, then air dodging back onto the stage. Come to think of it, was that the only time Thwomp lost a stock???

[@nopeafy23]

@@UnlimitedRunyou do realize you basically just said the only way the opponent wins is if thwomp kills himself (literally in game) three times

[@UnlimitedRun]

​@@nopeafy23 Considering that move is Thwomp's only way to attack it seems, he _has_ to risk his opponent going off-stage to bait a SD, otherwise he only draws at best due to never attacking. Thwomp simply didn't get counter-picked with a floaty character that can stay off-stage for awhile, which'll make attacking a suicide play.

I mean, it makes sense. Everyone else either hasn't been visible much historically, or has been defeated, at least temporarily, by multiple things. Thwomp, however, has been present in dozens of games, and in every iteration he can only be defeated by a single thing: A pow block. This means that beeg yoshi, gangsta mario, and maybe steve were the only ones who stood a chance against him, as they are the only ones who might have a pow block in reserve, but they all went out before they fought him.
