Kevin Ethan Levin is osmosian, which gives him the ability to absorb and utilize virtually any form of matter or energy. His bad boy image has made him both a friend and nemesis of Ben Tennyson throughout the series.
Overview[]
In Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion XL, Kevin E. Levin is an extra character that can be bought from the store for 1200 points. His bio states him as a strong character that can do considerable damage which is not too far from the truth.
Strategy[]
Pros[]
- Great damage output
- Has an invincibility attack; can fight through and avoid PTEs
Cons[]
- Lack of ranged attacks; no proper projectile
- Overreliance on select few moves; somewhat predictable
- This overreliance is due to most of Kevin's moveset being extremely sluggish, with little to no reward in comparison to Kevin's fastest and overall better damaging attacks.
Kevin's signature moves rack up damage quickly and have great knockback to make him a formidable opponent. However what hurts Kevin the most is his lack of a projectile or any significant range. His tool to combat this is his neutral signature, which blocks every projectile or even melee attacks due to the invulnerability it gives. His side signature also displays traits of VI making him a highly mobile character. Kevin's moveset is also very limited as many attacks are either too slow or weak to be used effectively. As a result Kevin's most commonly used moves are his neutral signature, side signature, down signature, side or down knockout (both rarely), and occasionally his aerials (not up aerial).
Kevin's gameplan relies on predicting where the opponent will be. Kevin wants to use his highly mobile side signature to move into position and attack. Neutral signature does high damage but has low range, while down signature has very high knockback and kill power with decent range but is much slower in comparison to neutral signature. Kevin's knockout attacks aren't used for killing, rather more for utility. His side knockout has the potential to hit twice when used effectively dealing a total of 28% when both hits connect. Kevin uses his down knockout to mostly gimp opponents that are recovering, taking effect of the dizzy status that the move gives to enemies. Otherwise, if the move hits and the opponent is on stage, Kevin wants to put in as much damage as possible either following up by using neutral signature or side knockout. However, if the opponent is within 130%, a down signature can be used to secure a kill.
Kevin's PTE is decent but may see minimal use as the attacks Ultimate Kevin uses can be shielded easily due to the high startup. A common strategy when using Ultimate Kevin is when the opponent is high in the air, use the diamond move button while jumping accordingly to secure a kill. The vines see the most rare use but is released the fastest of all of Ultimate Kevin's moves. It sends horizontally and is mostly used against opponents who are recovering, though usually diamond is a better move for killing in these situations. Finally, Ultimate Kevin has the fire projectile move which is used either if the opponent survives either of the previously mentioned moves, or if the opponent manages to escape and repeatedly shield moves. This is due to fire being the most likely to break through shields using the bs shield break angle. In addition, it is activated by using the grab button, so when the transformation ends, Kevin will likely be grabbing which is his fastest option and can potentially catch opponents off guard if they are still shielding (and Ultimate Kevin is close to the enemy).
Bio[]
Kevin is half human and half osmosian, which gives him the ability to absorb and utilize virtually any form of matter or energy. His bad boy image has made him both a friend and nemesis of Ben Tennyson throughout the series. At 17 years old in the Ultimate Alien series, Kevin continues his romantic relationship with Gwen Tennyson. Isn't that cute?
In PTE, Kevin is a strong character whose signatures can deal considerable damage.
Bio Stats[]
- Speed: 2/5
- Power: 4/5
- Air: 3/5
- Range: 3/5
Explanation[]
These stats are provided in the game in character bios. They do not affect gameplay at all and can sometimes be misleading or need an explanation.
- Many of Kevin's moves have heavy startup with only a few moves having below to average startup. This makes him one of the slowest characters on average attacking wise, meaning he'll mostly be spamming his fastest attacks for full effectiveness. 1/5 would be a better reflection of speed.
- Kevin racks up considerable damage and has great knockback power, down signature being one of the earliest kill moves in the game.
- Kevin has average recovery potential, as his side signature is affected by side signature vertical influence. However his up signature is slow and not very powerful, making it predictable if used.
- Kevin can reach places quickly with side signature and his down signature also has fair range.
