Bartz Klauser (SSB. Amplified)

Bartz is an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Amplified and the second Final Fantasy character. He comes from Final Fantasy V. Jason Spisak will reprise his role as Bartz.

== Trophy Info ==
=== Bartz: ===
Born in a town of Lix, Bartz would later lose his parents and lives out his late father's wish traveling. It's during his travels that he heard a meteor crash down. This led him to rescuing a princess named Lenna, meeting an old man named Galuf, who has amnesia, and later a pirate named Faris. This unlikely team all were chosen to be Warriors of Light. Granted new power by the crystals, they set off to save the crystals from evil. He brings this power to Smash. He will be showing his moves for sure, here.
=== Bartz (Alt): ===
Class Change is the heart of Bartz's moveset and color coded for convience. It's to switch his classes to his situation and three types of class groups. The general neutral specials can be reflected so be careful. The side specials charge at his foes and up specials are general recoveries. Fighter group classes focuses on offense and defense, but goes slightly slow. Thief classes is faster and does combos better, but defense isn't real stellar. Mage classes are mostly balanced, but not really stand out. Know how Class Change handles the groups and plan accordingly.
=== Proof of Mastery: ===
Bartz really goes all out out this one. Catches his opponent with a fast moving dash assisted by Haste. Bartz unleashes a Flare spell, then a Holy spell, both while all his weapons strikes at his foes. Bartz then grabs the sword and uses it to finish his opponent off. This is merely example of the power that the crystals really give him.

== Special Attrib. ==
* Kirby gains Bartz's hair and Bartz's Fighter Neutral Special as a Copy Ability.
* Bartz's victory theme is a direct rip of Final Fantasy V's Victory Fanfare.
== Trivia ==
*Bartz's trophy info line "He will be showing his moves here for sure, here," is actually a two-layered reference. This is a reference to Capt. Falcon's taunt "Show me ya moves!" This is also a reference to Cecil Harvey's Dissidia 012 intro quote against him where Cecil wishes Bartz would show off his own moves.
