Piccolo

how Piccolo joined the Tourney
Piccolo was born to avenge his parent's death at the hands of Goku. After his narrow defeat against Goku, Piccolo is soon forced to form an, at first, uneasy alliance with Goku and his friends against newer, more dangerous threats. Thus, he and Goku kick off the formation of the Z Fighters. Out of necessity, he also takes it upon himself to train Goku's young son Gohan, forming a powerful bond which ultimately redeems him when he sacrifices himself to save the child's life from Nappa. After his resurrection, he fully joins Goku and the others in their struggles against ever more powerful villains on Namek and Earth. As the story progresses, his role shifts from warrior to mentor.

Piccolo is one of the most intelligent characters in the series, retaining King Piccolo's tactical genius and later gaining Kami's great wisdom after fusing with the old Guardian.

Months after the war with Majin Buu, Piccolo went on community service that he found irritating. Upon seeing how poorly fairy is for a young Muppet fairy named Abby Cadabby, he decides to fashion her into a real wizard fighter.

Special Beam Cannon (Hyper Smash)
Piccolo touches the index and middle fingers of his right hand on his forehead and charges up ki. When ready, he says "Eat this!" then extends his figners forward, announces the Hyper Smash's name and two thin energy beams are unleashed from the fingers. When hit, the opponent is pierced and knocked away.

Hellzone Grenade (Final Smash)
Piccolo charges up and fires several energy spheres randomly in the opponent's direction, disregarding accuracy and with no intent on actually hitting the enemy. With efficient ki control, the multiple energy spheres are suspended in the air, completely surrounding them. Finally, Piccolo says "Nowhere for you to run! this is THE END!" and commands the energy spheres, which change from a yellow to purple color, to rapidly spin around the opponent and inevitably rain down on them with a vicious onslaught from every direction, filling the sky with a blinding light and inflicting a massive amount of damage.

Bonus Costume
Piccolo holds possession of one Bonus Costume. That being his weighted clothing whenever he doesn't fight seriously. To unlock, one must kill 165 Smash Run enemies with Piccolo. After the Smash Run is over, the announcer will say "You've earned a new costume!" and a Smash Ball (appears on the lower-right corner) will appear with a message saying "Piccolo's weighted clothing is now available! This will be a rare occasion for Piccolo to go all out in this costume!" Then, highlight Piccolo and press Minus.
