Howzer

How Howzer joined the Tourney
During his childhood, Howzer was the childhood friend of Gilthunder, Griamore, Margaret, Veronica and Elizabeth as they always play together. Howzer was taught how to be a knight by Dreyfus and became a Holy Knight after the Seven Deadly Sins were framed.

To atone for the evil he committed under Hendrickson, Howzer sets his sights on a renegade Pikachu called Pikachu Libre.

After defeating Howzer, wishing for him from Porunga, or purchasing him 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 the wind-based Holy Knight, Howzer!" He will be seen left of Temari, right of Supremor, above Akainu and below Beautiful Suzuka.

After the announcer calls his name
Howzer blasts four circles of sharp winds as the camera zooms then says "When is this Holy War gonna happen, sir?"

Whirl Shock (Neutral)
Howzer gathers the air around him and forms it into a formidable, disc-like whirlwind with the appearance of a tornado that has been flattened and turned on its side. He then fires the disc at the opponent.

Cyclone (Side)
Howzer stabs the ground, creating a tornado around him.

Gale Thrust (Up)
Howzer does two kicks while flying into the air with his feet surrounded by sharp winds.

Rising Tornado (Down)
Howzer punches a tornado at the opponent. If it hits, it lifts the opponent off his/her feet then slams him/her into the ground.

Breakthrough (Hyper Smash)
Howzer concentrates his power into a single point at the tip of his weapon, forming a condensed wind sphere that he can fire to pierce through an opponent.

Super Cyclone (Final Smash)
After digging his hands into the ground to avoid being blown away, the wind around Howzer begins to gather and forms into an enormous cyclone. Howzer calls this his "strongest storm", as the winds are so powerful any who dare resist them would be torn apart by the centrifugal force.
