Neutral special: Laser—Galaga fires two small laser charges, dealing low damage, but can rapid-fire. Only does knockback to fighters very close to Galaga

Final Smash: Double Fighter—Galaga flies in a condensed circle, sweeping any opponents in range into the air. Galaga then faces skyward and acquires a second ship, becoming a Double Fighter, before rapid-firing laser charges at the trapped opponents. After a few seconds the rapid charges amount to an explosive charge, launching the trapped opponents into the air. If damage exceeds 90%, it's an instant K.O.

Side taunt: Galaga's cannons glow and spark

Down taunt: Galaga revs it's thrusters
