Hedorah: The Smog Monster
Hedorah is an interesting character. He doesn't have many moves, and most of them aren't that useful, yet his amazing Crimson Energy Beam makes him ideal for long range combat while his extendable appendages help him to keep his opponents from coming in too close. His Flying Charge is also excellent if he finds himself about to be backed into a corner.

Moves

Arm Swing (II)

Hedorah extends its arm, reaching out to attack the opponent. As expected, the move has considerable reach, although is fairly slow to perform for a standard attack.

Low Swipe (While ducking, II)

While crouched, Hedorah extends his arm and swings it over head in an effort to strike its enemy. This move is considerably quicker then its normal Arm Swing, although this comes at the cost of reach and damage.

Arm Strike (While jumping, II)

Hedorah greatly extends his arm while in midair, stretching it to incredibly lengths as he tries to strike his adversary. Unfortunately, of Hedorah's three melee attacks this one deals the least damage, although it's to be expected given how easy it is to connect with.

Flying Charge (Hold Back, Forward, II)

Hedorah reverts to his flying form as he advances. If he connects, Hedorah will latch on and perform Toxic Grasp. In terms of damage, this is an excellent move although connecting can be difficult unless the enemy is caught off guard. In performing the attack, be sure to release Back before pressing Forward.

Crimson Energy Beam (Hold II)

Hedorah's head begins to pulse as his eyes release his Crimson Energy beam, aimed slightly downward. Pound for pound, this is one of the best projectiles in the game, as not only can it hit crouching opponents but it also deals considerable damage. Its main attraction, though, is that it can be shot off continuously (holding and releasing II every two seconds) and requires little energy. Its downfall is that it has trouble with aerial opponents.

Sludge (Hold Up, II)

A piece of sludge is flung from Hedorah's body in the direction of his opponent. The distance that the sludge travels can be controlled by pressing either Forward or Backwards as it is flung. Unfortunately, this move can not be done in rapid succession as the sludge will have to dissipate on the field before another can be thrown, although because it arcs it is better suited for attacking flying opponents then his Crimson Energy Beam.

Sulfuric Acid Mist (Down, Forward, II)

Sulfuric Acid Mist begins to emit from Hedorah's body as he is surrounded by the poisonous emission. Due to its lack of any sort of range, the move is primarily defensive, although given the fairly slow speed for the move it has trouble being used as a quick retaliation.

Toxic Grasp (Down, II)

Quickly transforming into its flying form, Hedorah latches onto his opponent as his toxic body begins to burn them.
