Darkseid

How Darkseid joined the Tourney
Jack Kirby debuted at DC Comics with Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #133 and immediately began establishing characters that would lay the foundation for his newly conceived Fourth World epic. The chief antagonist would be the Darkseid villain who made his debut in Jimmy Olsen #134 (November 1970) with subsequent appearances in issues #135 and #136. The character was originally designed to be the chief antagonist of the titles Forever People, Mister Miracle and New Gods, but after the cancellation of these titles, the characters along with Darkseid were incorporated back into the DC universe.

The player must accomplish one of these tasks to unlock Darkseid: For both requirements, the player will have to fight Darkseid at Oil Works. Upon defeating him, the announcer will say "Someone else has joined the Tourney!" after a Smash Ball appears on the lower-right corner of the screen with a message saying "You can now use Darkseid, the adversary of Superman who is far worse than Lex Luthor." He will be seen right of Palutena, left of Krystal, above Hannah Montana, and below Lex Luthor.

After the announcer calls his name
Darkseid moves his left arm to his right side and looks right, before turning to the camera and firing an Omega Beam at it. It clears to show Darkseid's upper body as he dares "Ready or not, here comes Darkseid!".

Omega Beam (Neutral)
Darkseid unleashes his signature "Omega Beams" at his opponent.

Omega Knee (Side)
Darkseid leaps at his opponent, causing him/her to fall.

Omega Force (Up)
Darkseid leaps high into the air and then comes down like a meteor, creating a shockwave and possibly landing on his opponent. If timed right, and the two correct attack buttons are pressed, Darkseid will headbutt the opponent if he lands on them.

Omega Tremor (Down)
Darkseid slams his fist into the ground creating a shockwave. The move strikes an opponent twice, once with his fists and second with the shockwave.

Omega Blast (Hyper Smash)
Darkseid laughs and shoots an Omega Beam from his eyes. If he connects, the opponent glows red, then vanishes into nothing, and a life is taken from the stock.

Omega Ball (Final Smash)
Darkseid jumps into the air makes a large ball of omega energy, holds it in his hands and says "Now you will die!" then throws the large ball at his opponent. It explodes with a force 97.835 megatons and either damages the opponent heavily or takes a life from the stock.
