Complications:
Relationship (Sarah)- Barts's girlfriend was badly injured in a motorcycle accident.
Motivation (Prize Money)- The money from the tournament will hopefully pay for Sarah's operation.
Weakness (Predictability)- These characters cannot simply "spam" out the same attack over and over again, as the opponent will expect the attacks, and be ready for them (and a counterattack). The third time they try the same technique (or same combo of techniques) in a short span, they will be at -2 to Accuracy, AND to his Active Defenses in that round. All will decrease by 2 every successive round the same move is done.
Total: Abilities: 56 / Skills: 42--21 / Advantages: 3 + 11 / Powers: 5 / Defenses: 9 (105)
-Barts is your typical "American Fighter", here more of a rough & tumble biker type, though he's still heroic- he fights to earn prize money for a medical operation for his girlfriend. His design would almost be not bad- he's got the most elaborate outfit of any fighter in the game, for example- but for the awful color choices: he's got a PINK SHIRT, blue jeans, a black jacket, and white fur trim, plus a bandana tied around one arm. Dig that "Engrish" name, though- the name "Bart" with an "S" inexplicably added to the end.
-Barts has a very typical moveset for a Fighting Game character- actually a Shotoclone all over again, with a Ki Blast, Rising Move and Dashing Move, though in his case the "Rolling Smash" is more like Guile's "Flash Kick", arcing upwards.
