Oswald

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

Epic Mickey


A pioneer of animation whose reputation was promptly vanquished by the whims of bureaucracy itself, Oswald waltz through ink and time to get his revenge on a peculiar mouse who seemingly had been at the origin of his lost fame. Much unlike his red-cladded rival, he himself maintained an attitude that is seriously prone to mischief, but nonetheless, he still remains more of a trickster than he happens to be ill-intended by all means!

Gameplay Tips

  • Charging Oswald's Neutral Special won't make the attack stronger, as it is only meant for stalling. Pressing Shield mid air will cancel it, but it cannot be used again.
  • Pressing Up or Down before throwing Oswald's foot boomerang (Side Special/EX) will change its trajectory slightly.
  • Oswald's Up Special doesn't have any kill power at all, but it can be used to connect with other attacks that do have. This also applies to his Neutral Special as well!
  • Avoid getting hit while charging Oswald's Down Special, or else it will reset! Immediately shielding, dodging, or shooting when an enemy's near is good practice.
  • Oswald's hover is unlike any other, as it slows his fall speed instead of halting it; and you can use it anytime with no restrictions.

Trivia

  • Oswald was originally going to be the main villain in Epic Mickey, but Disney's then-president exclaimed that he didn't want the public to see Oswald returning as the bad guy.
