Stanley Whitefin (JP: スタンレー・ホワイトフィン Sutanrē Howaitofin) is a Dagonian scientist but prefers to fade into the background at work, not that he is always successful. Stanley originally helped develop weapons in the now disfunctional Lab 4, but following the surprise attack on Lab 8 it became clear the ASG needs all the (fish)power it could afford. He brings his previous inventions out of storage to fight alongside the soldiers, because the ASG Labs know better than to have a shark without a frickin’ laser beam...
Playstyle Speculation[]
Uses a variety of shark-themed attacks and high-tech weaponry. Shark Dive! Shark Knuckle! Science Upper! FEEDING FRENZY! Be sure to check your work.
In addition to shark themed attacks such as biting, diving, lunges, and even under-the-earth dives, Stanley would have a surprisingly solid boxing stance. He’s something of a sports nerd; a fan of boxing and hockey. He’d also use his advanced ASG arsenal from his Lab 4 days to his advantage. This could include various laser guns, missiles, or something akin to Iron Man’s Proton Cannon or Megaman's playstyle as well. He may even have laser skates or...a jetpack! He also can be seen using what appeared to be two machine guns/tommy guns/pistols/idk just firearms in Robo-Fortune ending.
