Phil Swift

Phil Swift is the CEO and spokesperson of Flex Seal, a brand of adhesive bonding, which sells products based on liquid rubber.

He is also a modded character in Nexed, designed by CoolDetective123.

Real-World History
Phil Swift’s brand, Flex Seal, was founded in 2011, as a part of the family-owned company Swift Response, being a brand that specializes in adhesive products based on liquid rubber. Outside of Flex Seal, they have released products such as Flex Tape, Flex Shot and Flex Glue.

The brand gained attention due to its advertisements, starring Phil Swift himself, that present exaggerated claims, such as Flex Tape being able to keep a boat together. It achieved meme status thanks to Youtuber Jontron’s video, Waterproofing My Life With FLEX TAPE.

Gameplay Information
Phil Swift is a heavyweight with some of the highest damage and knockback on the roster, especially his grounded strong attacks. However, his moves have very poor frame data, which, combined with his poor mobility, makes it hard to land his powerful attacks.

To circumvent this, Phil Swift has access to special moves that trap the opponents and open them up for combos, which makes them essential to Phil Swift’s kit.
