Strike Rouge

How Strike Rouge joined the Tourney
A mobile suit built using spare parts for GAT-X105 Strike that were produced while it was repaired at Orb. Strike Rouge is almost an identical copy of the original Strike Gundam and features the same weaponry, two head-mounted CIWS guns, two combat knifes, a beam rifle and a shield. Like the Strike, the Strike Rouge can be equipped with a Striker Pack, and the most commonly used is the Aile Striker, which adds an additional pair of beam sabers to the armament. Besides the Aile Striker, the suit is also known to be equipped with the Integrated Weapons Striker Pack or IWSP, and later, the Ootori Pack. The main differences between Strike Rouge and Strike is that the former is equipped with an AI support system and a power extender that increase the operational time, and is responsible for the red-shifting of the phase-shifted colors.

After the defeat of Rau Le Creuset, Cagalli begins peace talks when she learns of a supposed fire monster named El Diablo burning Orb buildings.

How to unlock
For both methods, you must fight the Strike Rouge at ORB. Alternatively, you can avoid clashing with it by wishing for it from Porunga, or purchasing it for 375 Smash coins in the Smash Store. After defeating the Strike Rouge, wishing for it from Porunga, or purchasing it from the Smash Store, 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 Cagalli Yula Athha's Mobile Suit simlar to the Strike Gundam, Strike Rouge!" It will be seen left of Salazzle, right of Kirihara, below Mavado and above Tsugumi.
