Deadpool

How Deadpool joined the Tourney
Wade Wilson was born and raised in Canada. After attempting and failing to commit suicide, Wilson was drafted into a secret government training program. However, after medical testing, he learned that he had over forty cancerous tumors, and could not be operated on without being killed. To solve this problem, he volunteered for the Weapon X program, which gave him a healing factor based on Wolverine's. However, this genetic augmentation terribly disfigured him because the healing factor bonded to and accelerated the growth of the cancer as well. He was labeled as a failed experiment, and was sent to the program's Doctor Kilebrew, who was extremely cruel to his patients. This drove Wilson insane, and he broke out of the Weapon X laboratories, deciding to start a new life as a mercenary named Deadpool, due to how he always won the game played by inmates which involved guessing who would die next.

Character Select Screen Animation
Deadpool does Maxi's Soul Calibur II character select screen animation and says "Pineapple surprise!".

Trigger Happy (Neutral)
Deadpool will fire his guns in front of him.

Quick Work (Side)
Deadpool dashes forward and slashes with his katanas.

Teleport (Up)
Deadpool quickly vanishes and reappears in a different location, depending on how the user tilts the control stick. If it teleports into the air, it will fall in a helpless animation. When used quick enough on the ground, it can be used in place of a dodge, side step, or rolling, as there is less lag time and it throws the opponent off. The only way to travel faster with Deadpool is its wavedash. This third jump, along with its other normal two jumps, allows for Deadpool's superbly long and safe recovery. Teleport also passes through attacks. However, this attack does not cause any damage to the opponent.

Katana-Rama! (Down)
Deadpool makes a jerky-leaning quickdraw slash at his opponent which will be aimed low.

Cuttin' Time (Hyper Smash)
Deadpool slashes an opponent with both of his two swords in a mad dance-like autocombo attack. Deadpool after connecting with the initial blow rips through his opponent four times before double slashing with both katanas, finishing the attack and launching them.

Fourth Wall Crisis (Final Smash)
Deadpool does a sexy pose and walks toward his opponent(s). If an opponent attacks Deadpool while he's in this state, he falls over while tossing a flashbang grenade, thus stunning them as he begins to bludgeon his opponent with his own health bar and hyper combo bar, both taken from Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. The final blow sends them flying straight to the end of the screen, taking a life from the stock.
