Rick combos

Rick’s grounded side-normal is his greatest combo starter. It has a sweeping hitbox that has good range and can act as an anti-air. On its own, his side-normal combo is greatest at forcing opponents away. Rick can then chase his opponent and finish the combo with a forward-air.

He can also combo the opening hit of the grounded side-normal into a grounded up-normal. Afterwards, he can use a mix of down-airs and up-airs to get a brief aerial loop going, before finishing with an up-special to send his opponent flying.

Perk Effect
Bit Of A Stickler Meeseeks Meeseeks deals double damage to fighters that are hitstun.
Hephaestus, Who? If you fully charge the whip attack, the final hit will knock enemies down.
Squanchin' Pyrotechnics Portals have a longer cooldown, but allies or projectiles that pass through can ignite enemies, while enemies that pass through are ignited.

For his Offense perk, Rick benefits from Painted Target. This makes him deal more damage to enemies in hitstun, which makes it pair well with Bit Of A Stickler Meeseeks.

Then, Rick likes to run two Utility perks. Gravity Manipulation ups his fast fall speed, while Coffeezilla lessens his cooldown windows.
