How Do You Win as Banana Guard in MultiVersus?

Banana Guard is an extremely easy character to get to grips with, acting as a great choice for beginners. Nearly his entire move set is based around his spear, with upward, downward, and forward stab attacks forming the majority of your offensive techniques. Because of that, he's particularly good in close quarters, but his spear means he has a little bit of range too.

Generally speaking, you just want to be aggressive here, as the character doesn't have much going for him apart from his melee skills. Banana Guard's neutral special is worth remembering, as it gives you a useful damage and knockback boost for a short time. His down special is a little tricky to get right as the range is extremely short. If someone is coming in for some close range attacks, consider using it to knock them away.
