As the third [[boss]] of the ''[[Subspace Emissary]]'' and a general of the [[Subspace Army]], Porky sends [[Primid]]s to divert {{SSBB|Lucas}} before deploying his giant statue, The [[Pig King Statue]], that soon starts to hunt Lucas down. This statue is indestructible, so Lucas has no choice but to escape; the giant statue destroys containers, [[barrel]]s, [[Enemy|enemies]] and even metallic buildings. Lucas finally comes to a small water marsh, which seems to save him as the Pig King Statue sinks into it, but the Statue soon respawns. The Pig King Statue can even damage Lucas as it is respawning. | |||

Lucas then stumbles after catching his foot in a grass knot, and just as the giant statue has him, {{SSBB|Ness}} appears and uses [[PK Thunder]] which causes the statue to tip over. The statue once again recovers and flies into the air, this time to crush Ness. However, Ness uses a [[PK Flash]] and the statue explodes, revealing Porky Minch himself (in his bed-mecha from ''Mother 3''), who immediately challenges Lucas and Ness. | Lucas then stumbles after catching his foot in a grass knot, and just as the giant statue has him, {{SSBB|Ness}} appears and uses [[PK Thunder]] which causes the statue to tip over.

Despite | Porky Minch attacks by moving around and by using a variety of lasers, as well as small Porky-bot enemies. Porky moves by facing towards the screen, and walking side-to-side like a crab. Despite appearance, the player can actually step on the glass vial on top of Porky's Bed-Mecha and avoid some attacks, while other times, it leaves the player perfectly open to damage, but at this position, the player is capable of attacking the whole time standing up there. {{SSBB|Snake}} can plant [[Down smash|mines]] on Porky that will explode next time he attacks. However, most of the times the characters will slide off quickly. This can, however, cause the [[Earthquake Glitch]] to occur, defeating him quickly. The edge of Porky's cage is sloped, despite appearance. This can be held as strategic value, and fast-falling attacks ([[Aether]], [[Stone]], [[Final Cutter]]) can land on Porky, then slide off, out of range of his legs. | ||

==== | ====Porky's attacks==== | ||
=====First move===== | |||
*Porky's walker does a flurry of stabs, inflicting heavy damage if all blows hit. It is possible to [[DI]] out of it by approaching towards him and jumping above. Some characters can [[crouch]] under this attack. | |||
*Porky's walker walks around, which does minor damage. Difficult to see coming (the walker speeds up a little and its eyes glow), but easily avoided by staying away or jumping over the mech. | |||
*Porky's walker hops slightly before rapidly charging at the player and off-screen. This attack is very powerful, and has a lot of knockback, KOing at about 20%. Jumping over the walker is advised over other methods of avoiding it. | |||
==== | =====Second move===== | ||
*Porky's walker sends out six Porky-Bots from ''Mother 3'' that try to self-destruct on the player. If they are attacked with a projectile, they [[trip]] and explode. In Boss Battles, the robots can still deal damage to the player even after Porky himself has been defeated. | |||
*Porky's walker creates a ball of energy, which shoots a laser towards the player. In the air, it is a multi-hit attack and on the ground it is a powerful one-hit attack that does upwards of 50 damage. At higher levels, it is fast enough to circle around for a second (and even third) hit. | |||
==== | =====Third move===== | ||
*Porky's walker jumps up high and tries to land on the player. | |||
*Porky's walker hovers up, and tries to attack the player with a lightning bolt. At low HP, he does this two or three times (depending on whether or not he's on turbo). Standing on Porky will not dodge the attack, instead increasing the player's chances of a KO, being so close to the upper [[blast line]]. If Porky is at low health, doing enough damage to KO him will end the attack early (although his walker will land before entering the animation of his defeat). | |||

Pokey Minch, first appeared in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'' and was Ness's snooty neighbor. In the beginning of ''EarthBound'', Pokey temporarily joined Ness' team to find his brother Picky. However, whenever the team encounters an enemy, the cowardly Pokey doesn't fight. He later turns against Ness and becomes his enemy by joining the intergalactic destroyer Giygas. Towards the end of ''EarthBound'', Pokey is fought alongside Giygas in a "Heavily Armored" machine. His attacks involve charging at Ness' party, tearing into them (probably with the machine's legs,) and unleashing a very stinky gas which lowers stats. After unleashing Giygas's true form, he flees from the scene by time traveling, leaving Ness and his companions to fight Giygas. | |||
Porky later appears in ''[[Mother 3]]'' as the main antagonist and leader of the Pigmask Army. He appears in a machine similar to the Heavily Armored Machine in ''EarthBound''. The attacks he does, however, are not specified (For example, "What did Porky do?") though they look like certain moves (such as Fassad's Bombs). In this game, he has ordered robots designed after him to be created, which are used in some of his attacks in ''Brawl''. | |||
