Valentine is the 26th character, and one of the few characters who does not represent a country. He was added with Egypt and Super Saiyan in Update 1.5. His Power Shot is similar to South Korea's Power Shot and is considered fairly weak. He is a five-star opponent in Arcade. 

Playing style

Valentine's playing style is rather defensive.

Appearance

He has curly, orange hair, and a white painted face. His mouth and nose are painted red and his eyebrows are blue. He has three black dots underneath his eyes. All the make-up he is wearing makes him look like a mime clown. He has green eyes and wears a red and white striped hat in the player select screen, with protruding spikes that are green, yellow and black colored. However, in matches he is seen wearing a small, brown clown hat. He seems to be a reference to Ronald McDonald, the McDonald's clown.

Power Shot: Valentine Shot

Valentine Shot

Valentine's Power Shot is called Valentine Shot. When he starts his Power Shot, he says, "Valentine shot!" Then, a lot of candy (chocolate bars, lollipops, boiled sweets and so forth) appears to stream out from Valentine's head. Those sweets don't have a purpose except for distracting the defender and disappearing when they hit the ground. Then, the ball shoots forward. The reason the Power Shot is not good is because the actual shot is a simple straight line that can be seen as a slower version of South Korea's shot. It just goes straight forward and can easily be countered or deflected. However, if the defender does get hit, they turn into a jack-in-the-box, becoming easy to be kicked around, setting Valentine up for an easy goal. In the jack-in-the-box state, you can still block the ball even if you can't move. A funny detail about his Power Shot that not many people know, is that the ball changes color on its way to the goal, changing between blue, green, red, purple and pink.

Costume

Valentine doesn't own a standard Costume.

Tips and Tricks

Even though Valentine's Power Shot is fairly similar to South Korea's shot, there is a small difference in blocking it. To block South Korea's Power Shot, just jumping in front of him was enough; to block Valentine's shot it's recommended to move forward as well. To easily block his shot, jump a little bit later than you would to block South Korea's shot. Valentine's Power Shot travels slower, so time your jump accordingly, and take enough time to move forward while jumping. You can also kick to counter it. When you use your power shot yourself, don't rely too much on the after effect, but try to score out of the power shot without the opponent touching it. You can do this by using Valentine's shot close to your goal and high in the air.
