Yoshimitsu

==How Yoshimitsu joined the Tourney==
Trying to avenge his fallen Manji clan comrades, while going after Bryan Fury, Yoshimitsu realizes that his sword is weakening. His sword is a cursed blade. By killing evil doers and villains the sword would retain its power, otherwise the cursed sword will make the user go insane. Yoshimitsu realizes that he can no longer use his old sword and decides to use another blade called Fumaken, that seals the properties of the cursed sword. He then decides to enter the Smash Bros. Tourney.

===Sword Poke Whirlwind (Hyper Smash)===
Yoshimitsu poses on one leg, then uses his sword to spin in front of himself and suck opponents. If he makes contact, he then kicks the opponent before cutting away at the target in an auto combo, ending with a jumping spin slash that sends opponents flying.
===Life Steal (Final Smash)===
Yoshimitsu glows his right hand with purple energy then runs to grab an opponent. If he reaches one, he grabs the head and drains all the life force from the opponent, healing off of his health and taking a life from the opponent's stock.
