Chris Hansen

Chris Hansen is an Assist Trophy in Smash Bros. Lawl Beatdown.
When summoned, Chris will suck the opponent to his chair around his radius that will pull in anyone nearby, reading his incriminating logs that will keep the opponent stunned. After 10 seconds of reading these, the opponent will be released from the chair with a hefty amount of damage. The player can button mash to escape. But if they escape from the chair, Chris will summon a police officer to tackle the opponent. The opponent must choose between getting all of Chris's damage or taking the penalty by escaping.
=== Effect Origin ===
Dateline NBC’s To Catch a Predator starred investigative journalist Chris Hansen as he lured online predators to a sting house, where he would try to understand why they were targeting children online. Every time he reveals himself, he makes a comment and asks the predator to have a seat somewhere. What followed was Chris reading the chat logs they had with the decoys pretending to be children, asking multiple questions. Whenever Chris was done with the interview, after revealing that he was with Dateline, the predator was “free to go”, where they’d be met with police outside the house.
