Scarecrow

Unpredictable trickster

Team The Wiz · The Wiz (1978)

“Awright now... this gon' be good.”

The rival crews

The file

Stuffed with crumpled quotes and pure rhythm, he never throws the same thing twice, mostly because he forgot what he threw the first time. Opponents call it chaos. He calls it improvisation. His crew calls him the smartest one in the room, and he has never once believed them.

  • Funny
  • Loyal
  • Lovable
  • Full of heart
  • Searching for a brain
  • Wise in his own way

Signature moves

  1. Funky Feint

    Sells a jab with a shoulder shimmy, then hits with the other hand.

  2. Straw Shuffle

    A side-to-side shuffle that changes where he can be hit on every beat.

  3. Brainstorm Blitz

    Pulls a crumpled quote from his stuffing and reads it at you. Loudly. It stuns.

  4. Scarecrow Spin

    A loose-limbed spin that keeps going as long as the button does.

Ultimate · spends a full bar of Yellow Brick Power

The Funk Explosion

Every patch on his costume lights up and the stage becomes a dance floor. Miss a beat and you get flattened.
