== Biographies ==
=== Rockin' Knight ===
Having trained in the art of sword fighting since adolescence, Steel Daniel is one of the best knights that King Diamond, the current ruler of Cydonia, ever recruited into the Royal Army. One day, his king, having recently heard of Blak-Sab'bat, the Lord of Hell, planning to throw the kingdom into chaos, assigns Daniel to venture forth and put an end to the demon's malevolence and save Cydonia before it is too late.
== Movelist ==
=== Rockin' Knight ===
==== Rockin' Move ====
* Shield Punch: Steel Daniel shield-punches at his opponent with Gauche, knocking them down onto the ground if it connects. Meter Burn increases the damage and range of the attack.
* Rising Dragon: Steel Daniel jumps at his opponent with a spinning Shoryuken-style shield attack. On Meter Burn, while both fighters are still in the air, he spins 720° clockwise or counter-clockwise and smacks them in the face left and right with Gauche, hitting them twice. Useful as an anti-air attack.
* Rushing Shield: Steel Daniel rushes at his opponent with Gauche in front of him, stumbling them if it connects. Meter Burn, in addition to increasing the damage and range of the attack, also knocks the foe down onto the ground upon impact.
* Punching Uppercut: Steel Daniel punches downwards at his opponent with Gauche, then uppercuts them, launching them into the air. On Meter Burn, after the uppercut, he non-fatally impales the airborne opponent on Aja, and then slams them back down onto the ground.
* Stepped Up on the Platform: If his opponent is within the move's range, Steel Daniel grabs them with his shield arm and jumps with them high up into the air, during which he calls out, "Everything must go...", and then descending with them back onto the arena floor at extreme velocity, continuing on, "Full force!", slamming them hard. Meter Burn increases the speed and damage of this special move.
==== Rockin' Combo ====
Steel Daniel shield-bashes his opponent first, then crouches down and slashes horizontally to the left or right at them, crouch-kicks them, swings Gauche 180° clockwise or counter-clockwise at their head, and lastly, non-fatally throws Aja into their abdomen, followed by grabbing the sword's handle, the other fighter still non-fatally impaled on the blade, and swinging vertically upwards, causing them to quickly slide off it, then, while they're still airborne, shield-bashes them a third time, sending them flying across the stage until they fall to the arena "floor."
==== Rockin' Edge ====
* Knight of Cydonia: Steel Daniel starts the Rockin' Edge by holding Gauche in front of him and calling out, "'Tis not your lucky Thursday!", then charging at his opponent, stumbling them. Then, he shield-bashes the stumbled foe in the face at a 90º clockwise or counter-clockwise angle, slashes downwards diagonally to the left or right at them, and punches the ground with his shield arm, launching them into the air, during which he continues on, "I will prove to you..." followed by uppercutting them with Gauche, launching them even higher. Then, while his opponent is still very high up in the air, Steel Daniel jumps after them and, using Aja, slashes three times diagonally to the right or left and three times diagonally to the left or right, continuing on as he does so, "That I am one of the greatest Knights of Cydonia!", then non-fatally impales the character on the receiving end of the Rockin' Edge in the abdomen and descends back down onto the ground with them at extreme velocity. Afterwards, he pulls Aja out of his opponent and goes into his fighting stance again. If a round is won with this super move, Steel Daniel will hold Aja in front of Gauche and say, "Either fight seriously, or simply go home."
====Finishing Moves====
===== Sudden Death =====
* Butchered and Blown, Cydonian-Style: Steel Daniel slashes at his opponent's arms, severing them, and neck, decapitating them, then, in slow motion, charges up Gauche for four seconds, followed by uppercutting the now-headless and armless losing character, and the Sudden Death sequence freezes and slows on them as their torso is completely obliterated into gory chunks, leaving the legs behind, and their severed head goes flying upwards. Must be performed at sweep distance.
===== Speed Kills =====
* What It Feels Like to Be Heartless: Steel Daniel punches through his opponent's chest with his shield arm, causing their heart to fly out of their chest, and their corpse falls to the ground in a pool of their own blood. (Complexity: Peasant; final hit must come from Shield Punch)
* Half the Man You Used to Be: Steel Daniel's opponent's torso goes flying clean off their legs and disappears off-screen, and the now-dead foe's disembodied legs fall to the ground in a pool of their own blood. (Complexity: Peasant; final hit must come from Rushing Shield)
* Split Decision: Steel Daniel, still holding onto the handle of Aja, saws upwards, vertically bisecting his opponent from the waist up and causing them to fall to the ground dead in a pool of their own blood. (Complexity: Royal; must defeat your opponent with a Rockin' Combo in your winning round)
* Clean This Mess Up: Upon descending back down with his opponent, Steel Daniel horizontally bisects his opponent at the waist with Gauche, causing all their internal organs to spill out the top half. (Complexity: Awesome; must defeat your opponent with a 3-or-more hit combo that ends with a Meter-Burned Stepped Up on the Platform in your winning round and guard-impact a maximum of 1 attack during the match)
* Defeated One, Do Lose That Head: Steel Daniel swings Aja horizontally at his opponent's neck, decapitating and instantly killing them, at which time the head rolls off the shoulders and onto the ground. (Complexity: Rockin'; your health must be at 10% or less and you must win a Clash of Ages with a horizontal attack in your winning round and you must guard-impact at least 3 attacks)
Post-Speed Kill Victory Sequence: Steel Daniel swings Aja once diagonally downwards to the right or left, then once diagonally downwards to the left or right and holds his sword in front of Gauche or, holding the shield at his left side, holds the sword high in the air, declaring, "Coming at me unprepared? Never do it again!" or "At least you fought honorably."
===== Rock n' Roll Suicide =====
* Pre-Rock 'n' Roll Suicide pose: Steel Daniel throws Aja and Gauche to the ground, causing them to embed there, and says, "You broke the Knights' code of honor."
Makeshift Guillotine: Steel Daniel throws Aja up into the air, causing it to disappear off-screen for three seconds, then places his neck in Gauche's top circular gap, and as soon as the sword is about to land back down onto the ground, it slices through the knight's neck, decapitating him, and the sequence freezes and slows on him as his head separates from the rest of his body and blood sprays out where his head used to be.
