This time around, Frank doesn’t seem to resemble his TvC counterpart as much. He comes equipped with many new moves and abilities!
** Level Up!**
Right off the bat, one of Frank’s new properties is the ability to Level Up! his abilities, changing his normals and specials, even gaining new ones. Frank starts at level one and can Level Up! up to five times; leveling up can be done by taking a picture of your opponent, which grants Frank Prestige Points that he uses to Level Up! Each picture taken can either recover red life or even return regular health to Frank! The amount of Prestige Points given can be doubled by drinking alcohol first, but be warned; Frank will vomit if he fights for too long after ingesting it, leaving him completely vulnerable for a short time! Tag him out to give him a breather and get it out of his system.
Leveling up is only possible by gaining Prestige Points. You level up at 5SIZE=1/20(lvl3)/50(lvl4)/100(lvl5) Prestige Points for a total of 5 levels. (PP totals pending confirmation for now)[/SIZE]
(Note: Move names and motions needed-and even being specials at all-are not confirmed until noted otherwise)
