KNIGHT
And now we have a long list of character who appear exclusively within the Metroid comics, manga, and other non-game media. These will all act as a roster on their own, separate from the standard game roster. They are:
1. Joey Apronika
2. Kreatz
3. Mauk
4. Diesel
5. GFS Tyr Crew
6. Armstrong Houston
7. Zegan Doh
8. Bomad
9. U-Ton
10. Papa Lightning
11. Chozo Elders
12. Greed
13. Bishop
14. Knight
15. Dangelo
16. Pirate Boss
17. Amokmaw
18. Integra
19. Megaroid
Knight is another of Greed's right-hand men, a noble swordsman forced into servitude under Greed. He was a close friend of Joey's father Rand years before (I legit thought he was going to be revealed to be Rand by the end, but no), and ends up turning on Greed and helping Joey destroy Bishop.
Knight is a swordsman and so uses his sword in multiple ways, with some major named attacks such as Force Blow, Guillotine Blast, Meteor Return, and Explosive Divide, as well as more basic attacks such as slice, slashing, and defending.
Here's the moveset I came up with:
Standard B: Devastating Slash
He will slash forward with his blade, dealing massive damage to anyone it is hit by.
Side B: Explosive Divide
Knight will burst forward at high speed, leaving a blast of force behind him while thrusting forward with his blade.
Up B: Force Blow
He will jump into the air and come down with his blade hard enough to cause an earthquake that will move forward along the ground in front of him.
Down B: Meteor Return
He will spin with his sword, snagging any projectiles coming his way, bringing them around, and then throwing them back at his opponent.
Final Smash: Guillotine Blast
Knight will raise his sword into the air and spin it really, really fast, creating a tornado that he will then shoot forward at his opponent, lifting them into the air and then racking up huge damage with a thousand cuts from his spinning blade.
Entrance: He will slash through one of Bishop's zombies and appear behind it.
Taunts: Up, he will raise his sword into the air and make it gleam. Side, he will hold out his sword and challenge you to a battle. Down, he will say that if you don't want to be hurt, you should stay back.
Kirby Hat: His helmet.
Kart: Based on his armor.
Special Move: He will summon a guillotine blast tornado that he will then send forward after other players.
Spirit Battle: On Hall of the Gods.
Victory Screen: He will place down his sword and say his honor has been restored.
Losing Screen: His noble sacrifice scene will play out.
Color Swaps: I imagine he is also gold and silver, so then we could have an all-silver version, a black version, a red version, a blue version, a green version, a white version, and an all-gold version.
Thanks for reading! Next up, the other semi-echo echo of the debacle we were discussing earlier.
