Barbara the bat is the star of Daigasso Band Brothers games for the GBA, DS, and 3DS. She has appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as an Assist Trophy, electrifying people with her jamming tunes. I'm quite fond of Barbara, she's a unique character with a style quite different from other Nintendo characters. Her attitude and spunk would make her an awesome fighter!

Barbara the Bat is the main character in the Daigasso! Band Brothers series. She's the leader of a band (on the guitar and vocals) that includes her brother "Ting Tin the Bat" (on the bass guitar), and "Pockin' the Death" (on the drums). In addition to doing concerts, Barbara own a music store called "GB Music" (the GB stands for Great Barbara, not Game Boy) where she sells the player all kinds of instruments. In her most recent game she now runs a talent agency in Waruwaru Town. She's also the owner of a Magic Shop in the game Master of Illusion. The businesses she runs are slightly dubious, but never do anything too bad. Barbara is always looking to expand her business so who knows where she'll go from here?

Barbara has quite the personality for a Nintendo character! While most Nintendo ladies are dainty and sweet, Barbara is incredibly arrogant and snarky. She's implied to be a dominatrix and that is supported by her mannerisms and wardrobe. She has a sick sense of humor that is coupled with plenty of innuendo and double entendre. She cracks the whip at her brother and pampers herself in a comical fashion. And unlike most Nintendo games, when you fail, Barbara will let the player know how much they suck. Despite her being egotistical and sometimes cruel, deep down she does care about the people around her and really does want the player to succeed.

Nintendo seems to really like this character a lot too. She's cameo'd in various Nintendo titles and even had her own Nintendo Direct dedicated to her! So she's not just some throwaway nobody. She also has the potential to have a unique moveset composed entirely out of using instruments and music equipment as weapons.

Here's my proposed moveset...

Standard Attacks: She mostly swings her guitar around like a baseball bat or an ax, but occasionally kicks too.
AAA Combo = Jabs opponents with the head of her guitar twice and ends with a kick.
A Forward = Swings her guitar forward like a tennis racket.
A Up = She raises her hand in the air giving the sign of the horns. She can do this over and over as a combo (like she's rocking out).
A Down = Barbara stretches out her leg while sticking a pose laying on her side. She also winks to her fans if the attack hits.

Dash Attack = Barbara slides on her knees, also known as "The Power Slide"

Air Neutral = Spreads her limbs outward as if she was diving into the audience.
Air Forward = She swings her guitar with two hands in a chopping motion, like an ax. It's good for spiking.
Air Backward = She swipes the guitar behind her one handed like a tennis racket.
Air Up = Twirls the guitar above her head.
Air Down = Rapidly stomps downward.

Smash Attacks: Barbara's Smash attacks feature her giving a hard strum to her guitar and striking a pose in what is known as Guitar Showmanship. The pyrotechnics that appear around her do the damage.
Forward Smash = Strums her guitar doing "The Windmill" as a sonic shockwave shoots forward.
Up Smash = Strums while raising the neck of her guitar to her head and blowing a kiss. Electric sparks shoot above her.
Down Smash = Barbara strums the guitar leaning downward to the ground. Flames left and right of her shoot from the ground.

Grab Attacks: Barbara is always gives a snarky look when grabbing or throwing a foe. She grabs with one hand that's not holding the guitar and sends foes flying in humiliating ways.
Forward Throw = Barbara gives a powerful backhand slap.
Back Throw = She smacks them with her hip, similar to Peach.
Up Throw = She tossing the foe up and over her shoulder, turning to the screen giving a "Good riddance..." look.
Down Throw: Stands one foot on the foe's back as she swings her guitar like a golf club. "FOUR"

Special Attacks: Here's where things get interesting. All her specials send out a circular shockwave causing damage from all directions.
Standard Special = Barbara drops an Amp below her, similar to how Pac-Man drops a Hydrant. Instead of shooting water, this amp will emit soundwaves over a period of time. It can be smack into opponents too.
Side Special = Barbara tosses a tambourine like a frisbee. Once it hits something (be it the ground, wall, or foe) a shockwave emits from it. You can also angle it downwards to hit the ground in front of you to keep your opponent away.
Up Special = Barbara bounces off a drum and into the air. The drum will emit a soundwave when bounced off.
Down Special = Barbara tunes her guitar. Listen to her tuning the guitar and press the button when it sounds right. Her guitar will now glow. Smash attacks are extra strong for a limited time.

Final Smash: Yes it's just what you'd expect. Barbara jams with her bandmates Ting Tin and Pockin' for an amazing show. This is pretty much Donkey Kong's Final Smash. Timing the button to the music will cause deadly soundwaves to get bigger and deadlier!
