Charizard, known in Japan as Lizardon (リザードン, Rizādon), is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl in a sense; it is one of three Pokémon that are played through Pokémon Trainer, the other two being Squirtle and Ivysaur. Charizard originated in Pokémon Red and Blue (Green in Japan) as the second evolved form of Charmander, one of the three originally selectable characters.
Attributes
Charizard has a surprisingly fast running speed (tied with Pikachu) for a character it's weight. However, it has the slowest walking speed in the game, more common for a very heavy character. Charizard is also one of only three playable characters to posses wings, and as such is gifted with an extra mid-air jump and the ability to glide. Charizard possesses smash moves quite similar to Bowser in their high strength and lack of speed. Unlike Bowser, however, Charizard is capable of many moves beyond Flamethrower to rack up damage. The forward aerial and down throw both use fire to add extra damage before the knockback is applied. The side special, Rock Smash, provides Charizard with an additional power move, along with a disjointed hitbox to block projectiles or be put to many other uses. Charizard's main weaknesses come from a significant ammount of ending lag after its power moves; if they miss, it is left wide open for a counter-attack. Additionally, like all three of the Pokémon Trainer's Pokémon, Charizard is susceptible to stamina, and must be switched away from after about two minutes of play.
