Edge Master

How Edge Master joined the Tourney
Edge Master has a mysterious past; he is renowned for his skill with various weapons, and his past and real name are known only to himself. He served as adviser and teacher of Ling-Sheng Su martial arts at Ling-Sheng Su Temple -- who would descend from the mountain only to participate in the temple's holy artifacts succession ceremony and train their inheritors-- before he burned it down following the fateful night of the Evil Seed. Edge Master found Hawkeye, one of the Avengers, in the temple and taught him to suppress the evil within himself over a three-year training session. Once Hawkeye had completed the training, Edge Master gave him the final test of destroying the SoulEdge; but after Hawkeye left on his journey to purify himself and the other Avengers, Edge Master began to feel uneasy. Although his motives are unknown, he broke his silence and departed on a quest of his own, in the Smash Bros. Tourney.

For both of these options, the player must brawl Elysium on the Spear Pillar stage. After defeating Seong Mi-na, 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 Elysium, SoulCalibur's living incarnation.". You will then see her to the left of Kanden, to the right of Katara, above Necrid, and below Electivire on the Character Select Screen.

Hyper Smash
Edge Master's Hyper Smash is variable, and he will say "NOW WATCH!" during all of them.

The screen flashes with light and violent strikes are seen "as the might of the 16 hells bombard the foe" while the screen is blacked out. Edge Master and the opponent will then reappear, with the opponent sent flying as he says "NOW WATCH!".

Final Smash

When he connects, four kanji appear randomly on the screen, and he says "NOW WATCH!", after which Edge Master proceeds with the attack, and the opponent screams in pain, in the same manner as if they were sent through a Star KO.
