The next in the You Know Who Should Be In Smash Brothers
series is:

New Challenger Approaching!
ARTHUR BARES IT ALL!

SPECIAL MOVES----------------------------------------

Neutral Special – LANCE TOSS - Pressing "B", will cause Arthur to perform the special move: Lance Toss. Arthur tosses his lance forward, it travels forward on a straight path. If the lance hits a foe they will receive DMG and the lance will vanish. If the lance hits an object it will also vanish. Arthur can have up to two lances "active" at a time. Once one lance vanishes Arthur can toss another one. The lances move at a normal pace.
DMG: 11%

Side Special – SWALLOW BLADE - Pressing "B" while also holding "left" or "right" on the directional pad, will cause Arthur to perform the special move: Swallow Blade. The Swallow Blade is a weapon which automatically tracks foes. Arthur can toss one of these at a time but it is really good at locking onto foes, though it doesn't deal much in the way of knock back.
DMG: 10%

Up Special – DRAGON SHIELD - Pressing "B" while also holding "up" on the directional pad, will cause Arthur to perform the special move: Dragon Shield. The spirit of a flying Dragon sleeps within the shield. Arthur will mount the Dragon Shield as if it were a skateboard and the wings on the shield slowly flap keeping Arthur in the air for a short while. using the control stick, players can move Arthur around the air freely allowing him to attack from the air as well. Eventually though, the shield will fall out from under Arthur who becomes helpless at this time- however to avoid this, players should voluntarily jump off the shield allowing them control over their fall. the Dragon Shield itself deals no DMG, but is excellent for recovery.
DMG: 0%

Down Special – FLARE MAGIC - Pressing "B" while also holding "down" on the directional pad, will cause Arthur to perform the special move: Flare Magic. Magic Power that surrounds Arthur in an explosion. this is a build up attack. Arthur's Magic builds up as he fights his opponents. When his magic power is at max power his fists will glow red and blue. Spamming this attack will yield a small radius explosion that deals little DMG and no knock back- waiting until the magic is at its zenith, will result in high DMG and big knock back. 
DMG: 15%-35%

Final Smash – FOR THE PRINCESS - After Obtaining the Smash Ball and pressing "B", a bright light radiates from Arthur and in a burst of sparkles he appears wearing the Emperor Armor! Crossing his arms in front of him, his left hand glowing blue- his right red, he throws his arms at his sides with open palms: "Great Magic! Fire Dragon!" and throws his right arm into the sky. Suddenly a huge Dragon made of blue flames erupts from his arm- it moves very quickly and players now control this long fiery magic dragon! as it swirls around the stage at an alarming pace, it also leaves a trails of explosions! Boom! BOOM! BBBBBOOOOOOOOOOM! is nowhere safe!? though opponents may feel there is no safety from the fire dragon, Arthur will discover it is harder to control than it looks- master controlling this magic to cause devastating DMG. when FS time is up the fire dragon fades into nothingness. the Emperor Armor shines brightly and disappears into golden sparkles leaving Arthur wearing his usual Armor.
DMG: 22% (per hit by the dragon) 24%-36% (explosions)

Kirby Hat - When Kirby swallows Arthur, Kirby will gains a helmet along with a scruffy beard just like Arthur's while also gaining the Lance Toss Ability.

TAUNTS----------------------------------------

Taunt 1 – Arthur raises his right arm and faces the screen and says: "Still going!" then re-enters fighter stance.

Taunt 2 – Arthur performs a couple of side lunges while saying: "Thou wouldst make a pitiful knight." straightening back up, Arthur re-enters fighter stance.

Taunt 3 – Arthur points his lance forward and says: "Come forth knave!" he then re-enters fighter stance.

SNAKE'S CODEC FOR  ARTHUR--------------------------------
CODEC CHANNEL: 141.12

SNAKE: Otacon, is there one of those conventions in town or something? There's a guy dressed up like a knight.

OTACON: No Snake, that's Sir Arthur- He IS a knight!

SNAKE: Huh?

OTACON: Sir Arthur is a valiant knight who has gone to hell and back- literally to save the Princess Guinevere from the clutches of the demons that continue to abduct her.

SNAKE: Demons huh? So this guy knows his way around the battlefield.

OTACON: I'll say! I heard rumors that he's sort of an exhibitionist too. Rumor has it he fights demons in just his underwear!

SNAKE: Ugh.

OTACON: W-whats wrong Snake?

SNAKE: Just, in his... Underwear? That's.... So manly.

OTACON: Uh, sure. Whatever you say Snake.

PALUTENA'S GUIDANCE FOR ARTHUR--------------------------------

PIT: Uh, someone should show that knight know how to properly handle a lance. They're not really made for tossing...

VIRIDI: Humans are hopeless Pit. I'm surprised his armor doesn't just fall apart on him.

PALUTENA: You must be talking about Arthur. his Lance Toss is his signature move.

PIT: Really? He must still be in training if that's his signature move.

PALUTENA: Actually, Arthur is known as a legendary knight in his land. Time and time again, Arthur beat back the monstrous hoards from the Demon Realm. Say what you will about mishandling his weapons but Arthur has even faced off against Hades and he looks no worse for the wear.

PIT: Hades!?

HADES: You rang Pitty Pat?

PIT: Hades!

HADES: Oh Pitty, you sound like a broken record.

PIT: Errr

HADES: No need to get your chiton in a twist Pitty, I'm only here because a little Syren told me pretty Palutena was spreading slanderous rumors about me! Palutena! Say it isn't so!

PALUTENA: I-

HADES: Let me set the record straight- I've never even heard of this... oh what was his name again? Arty?

VIRIDI: It's Artery.

PIT: No it's Arthur!

HADES: Whatever, the point is just because some second rate DEMON shares a name with me doesn't mean they ARE me. Could you imagine? A mortal defeating the Lord of the Underworld!?

VIRIDI: Remember that time Pit defeated you? O' "Lord of the Underworld"?

HADES: Ouch, the little one doesn't hold back does she? Very well. I can see when I'm not wanted. I bid you all adieu after all I've places to be and a resurrection to kick start, so until then: ta-ta~

STAGE------------------------------------

DEMON VILLAGE

Also known as the "Haunted Graveyard", the Demon Village resides in the Demon Realm and is home to all manner of Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Starting off, the stage is pretty flat, save for the raised platform at the center of the stage and the two stone pillars on either side of the stage. In the background of the stage are large totems with demon-like faces. These totems will dribble a stream of skulls and bones down onto unsuspecting Players dealing them damage and knock-back, if they're not careful. From time to time, black coffins will erupt from the ground, their doors disintegrating to reveal the undead corpse within, who jumps out and roams the stage. These Zombies will deal damage to whomever they come in contact with, but they can also be defeated like any other enemy. Some Zombies carry clay pots with them and, if defeated, the clay pot will drop and shatter, revealing an item inside. Players should also expect earthquakes while in the Demon Village. These quakes will cause the center of the stage to sink down or rise back up, changing the layout of the stage from flat to U-shaped. When the stage falls down, becoming U-shaped, it will reveal a chamber set into the center platform. It is behind the bars of this chamber that a Skull Flower will ignite and come to life. The Skull Flower cannot deal damage to players, as it is tucked away inside the chamber. However the Skull Flower will shoot fireballs at random players, which deal damage on contact. The Skull Flower will eventually sink back down and extinguish itself, but the Skull Flower could reignite at any point while the chamber is still visible.
