Slayer

How Slayer joined the Tourney
Slayer founded the Assassin's Guild, but disappeared shortly thereafter. His original intentions, like many notable founders of Assassin's Guilds in fiction, were altruistic. Unfortunately, he finds, upon returning, that his syndicate is far from his original idealistic view of it, and decides to dismantle it. He seems to be connected to Gabriel in some significant way, and seems to know quite a lot about various political affairs, most notably the Post-War Administration Bureau (P.W.A.B). Slayer is married, his wife a woman named Sharon. They appear to have a good relationship, as she appears by his side in several of his poses, as well as his endings. She also seems to be a source of blood for Slayer.

Slayer is also a descendant of Nosferatu. With his unyielding attacks and special vampire abilities, he makes mincemeat of his opponents in minutes. When his old organization now in chaos as a result of Zato-1's absence, Slayer emerges from retirement to "tidy" things up. Night of Knives Drama CDs.

Just before the second Smash Bros. Tourney, Slayer invites a snow leopard kung fu master named Snow Leopard to teach a new generation for the Assassin's Guild. He will first have to gain her trust.

How to unlock
For both methods, you must fight Slayer in the Nightmare Theater. Alternatively, players can avoid clashing with Slayer by wishing for him from Shenron. After defeating Slayer, or wishing for him from Shenron, or purchasing him for 600 Smash coins in 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 the Assassin's Guild vampire founder, Slayer!" He will be seen right of Valkenhayn, left of Fujin and below Sokaku.

Mappa Hunch (Neutral)
slayer dashes quickly forward giving a heavy punch.

Bloodsucking Universe (Side)
Slayer reaches to grab his opponent. If he does, he bites the opponent so hard, he leaches health from the opponent.

Dandy Step/Crosswise Heel (Up)
Slayer dashes back and if a certain button is pushed after, an attack follows. If B is pressed, he does the Pilebreaker where he gives an energy punch to the opponent. If B Side is done, he does Under Pressure where he gives an uppercut, then if B is pressed again, he follows with the It's Late, where he gives a lower punch, to floor the opponent. If B Up is done after, he follows with an upper enegry kick on the ground, then jumps into the air, with another energy kick. If B Down is pressed after, he does the Helter Skelter where he jumps into the air and stamps the ground hard enough to trip his opponent. If in midair, he does the Crosswise Heel instead.

Undertow (Down)
Slayer enlarges his arms and does a cross attack that can pierce guards.

Dead on Time (Hyper Smash)
Slayer readies himself saying "Here it goes!" then dashes at the opponent with a hard massive damaging punch.

All Dead (Final Smash)
Based on his signature Guilty Gear Instant Kill. Slayer gives a hard uppercut.
