Zomom (ゾモン Zomon) is a playable and unlockable character in I Just Don't really Care Anymore. He was announced to appear in the game on July 4th, 2016 to honor Independence Day, that one American holiday where people get fat, like Zomom. Zomom retains Patrick Seitz as his English voice actor, reusing the majority of his clips from Sonic Lost World while having a few new ones.

Zomom is ranked [moderate-high number] on the tier list, placing him in the [mid-high] tier and making him therefore one of the better heavyweights in the game. Zomom is unusually fast for a heavyweight and his high power output, and has several priority attacks. Along with this, he has several guard-breaking attacks, such as the ability to burrow in and out of the ground and being able to squish foes flat.

But like many heavyweights, Zomom isn't without his flaws. He has very high weight, which means good livability, but has a poor recovery and his fast falling speed makes it worse, and he has some trouble with zoning opponents despite having long range and a projectile, and is overwhelmed by fast opponents, such as [fast opponent].

Attributes
Zomom is a heavyweight and has poor walking speed, high falling speed, high gravity and moderate air speed, but has a very fast dash speed and has great air acceleration, and has decent traction. Zomom has awkward mobility that is very different from most heavyweights, and because of his decent speed it is possible for Zomom to overwhelm and crush any player, even speedy characters if they're not careful. As Zomom, one must be careful to not get taken down by speedy fighters, as they can put him down in his tracks if he can't defend against them, and his range and spike balls are considered his best options against them.

Unlike with most heavyweights, Zomom's strength isn't exactly in power despite his incredible offensive presence, but it is his speed that allows him to rack up damage very fast. While he falls really fast, Zomom has enough air speed to recover from a long ways off stage, and has several options to make his foes suffer. His heavy weight is no laughing deal as he can do belly flops with his down aerial to bury opponents and do a powerful attack on them. He has generally high power on his attacks, both on ground and in the air, but does better on the ground. His meteor smash is strong and his back aerial makes for an amazing knockout option. In combination with "rage", Zomom is easily one of the fastest characters to dish out damage and knockouts.

Zomom is known for having a wide range of attack options, such as being able to spin around in a cyclone and take in enemies and do multiple-hit damage, toss spike balls to edgeguard, and can smash a giant block forward to crush his foes. While the different and recognizable options does give him the disadvantage of being predictable, it is also entirely possible for Zomom to mix up his moves to make for not only a fat nightmare, but to make his opponents his just desserts. In addition, while he has a slow grab game, he can do immense damage with his down throw, which can also lead up into various moves, although the rest of his throws are rather subpar.

Zomon's moveset is versatile and incredible. His "Sandwich Slap" (neutral) has very impressive range and involves Zomom taking out a sandwich and slapping his opponent(s) with it, and not only is it high-ranged, it also is executed fast, although has low knockback. Zomom's side special, "Spike Smash", involves him taking out a spike ball and hitting it forward in a similar manner to Wii Fit Trainer's side special. His up special, "Belly Flop", makes Zomom go up before going straight down, sending shockwaves on the ground if he lands. Buries opponents making contact with the real climax of the moves. "Chomp", his down special, involves him taking a projectile into his body and using it to heal, referring to his glutenous appetite.

Despite all these advantages, Zomom has various flaws. For one, while his aerial mobility is extremely impressive for a heavyweight, he has fast falling speed and can easily self-destruct if not careful, especially involving his up special which has him going down at incredible velocities. Being a heavyweight, he is obviously susceptible to juggling and combos, and has a huge hurtbox, being hit easily by attacks. Despite being fast in several aspects, he's only slightly above average when compared to other fighters, and remains a large target for fast fighters. Some of his most reliable attacks, such as his forward smash, have some high ending lag, which can render him easily punishable.

To sum it up, Zomom is a fast powerhouse that relies on keeping his distance and punishing opponents when they make blunders. In addition, he also should make the best use of his weapons in order to successfully win.
