==Trailer==
The camera opens up in the middle of a dark chamber, lit only by torchlight. Wandering through are Link, Simon Belmont, and Roy. As they go down, they enter a room with numerous candles around, the sound of sword fighting heard below. The group keeps on following the sound, before it silences. Coming down, they see the floor lined with bodies, with only a single ratty-looking man with a tin hat and dirty red cape, and a long sword in one hand.
The travelers each seem weary, before stepping forwards, each drawing their weapons cautiously. Hearing the approaching heroes, the caped-man brings up his sword, before turning around, extending his sword towards the group, and holding a previously unrevealed knife defensively to his chest. Link approaches the figure, Simon and Roy following closely behind. However, as they do, there's a stirring from behind. Glancing back, Roy's shocked to see one of the fallen warriors rising to their feet, outfitted just like the one Link's approaching. 
Link swung his sword at the guy he was approaching, who backstepped away, before attempting to slash at Link, who brought up his shield to block the attack. Link's driven back a little, when he starts hearing steel clashing behind him. He glances back, and sees Roy and Simon staving off some of the newly risen warriors. Roy delivers a quick flurry of slashes via his Dancing Blade, while his respective warrior flips his sword to block each strike, before backstepping the final swing. Meanwhile, Simon expertly flips his whip around, managing to worm around one of his enemies' defenses, only for another one to rush in and slash at him, though he ducks the swing.
While Link's looking, the guy he's fighting attempted an overhead swing, at which Link swung up his shield just in time to block it, though it seemed to force him on his knees. Meanwhile, an armored figure approaches from the hallway they were walking down. The figure seems to hear the sound of combat, and speeds up their pace. Meanwhile, the respective warriors keep on fighting, them clearly starting to get worn down by the numbers. One of them rises from behind Roy, and raises his blade. However, a stabbing sound effect is heard as the camera pans to the figure's face.
Roy glances over his shoulder in time to see the one about to strike him having stopped. He kneels down, before slumping over, revealing his attacker. They're wearing typical knight armor, sporting a blue, faded coat and a short cape around their shoulders, a shield on one arm and a sword in the other hand. A splash screen reveals this to be the Chosen Undead. After felling that warrior, five gleaming balls form behind the armored warrior, before, with a flick of their hand, the balls fly out and strike one of the risen warriors each. After that, each warrior raises their blade, and makes a charge.
It then switches to gameplay footage, showing the inside of Farron Keep, where the fight with the Abyss Watchers is held. The background reveals one of the series' Bonfires while Abyss Watchers appear on either side of the rather flat plane. In the middle of it is the Chosen Undead, who's in a somewhat neutral stance while their sword and shield are drawn. A few clips then show him rushing towards an enemy, appearing rather middle-weight, before they deliver a swift chop in what appears to be a dash attack. Another clip shows him leaping, seeming to be about middle-weight too.
The Chosen Undead's seen two-handing their sword for a side smash, a down smash, and an up smash. They're then seen up in the air delivering an overhead swing for an f-air, a tough chop for a b-air, and delivering a flying stab downwards, the blade dragging whoever is hit down with them, slamming the ground below. The camera then has a more screen-sized view, showing the Chosen Undead's portrait with a green bar beneath it. The Chosen Undead's normal attacks are seen draining that green bar, while delivering a seemingly endless jab. Eventually, the Undead breaks away, dodge-rolling and draining a little more of that bar.
An isolated clip shows the Chosen Undead dodge-rolling several times, seeming to not lose any effectiveness with any roll unlike other dodge-rolling characters. Later, they're shown shielding, the shield not lowering while they're holding the stance. Though it does lower when Simon is seen striking it. 
The clip then shows the bonfire igniting, before transporting the group into a brand new arena, showing the bridge stretching across Anor Londo, the midsection shown risen into the sky before screw-driving down into the bridge. The Chosen Undead's then seen charging soul magic, before sending it into a flurry of homing missiles at an enemy. They're also seen getting their arm into a javelin-throwing pose, before hurling a bolt of lightning forwards, it exploding upon striking a foe and causing them to be launched. They're then shown generating a sudden shockwave, which propels the Chosen Undead up into the air. And then, they're shown conjuring fire in their hand, before slamming it into the ground and generating a storm of fire around them.
After that, the bonfire ignites again, and the travelers are each seen Iron Keep, multiple crumbling ledges over the magma pit below. After a few more slashes and a few more dodges, the Chosen Undead sparks with Final Smash energy. Suddenly, darkness forms before them. And as it does, the Dark Souls lock-on emblem appears on enemies in front of him, more appearing on them the longer they stay in range. After a bit of that, the darkness spreads, each resembling the silhouette of a human. They each spread out and hit an enemy with a lock-on symbol on them.
==Franchise Overview==
Dark Souls is a series of dark fantasy adventures that often rely on carefully studying the enemies and the environment to survive some absolutely devastating attacks while wearing down foes with attacks.
==Chosen Undead==
The Chosen Undead is the playable character from the first Dark Souls, who's prophesized to set off on a journey across the monster-laden land to ring the Bells of Awakening and act out the fate of the undead. They travel all across the land of Lordran, which is besieged by monsters, hollows, and all sorts of other shady characters. Danger lurks around every corner, so they need to be well equipped.
For this game, they wield the equipment seen in the box art cover depicting them, though they do bear different armor sets for their alts. They appear deceptively average with their maneuverability, having a normal run speed and normal jump height. However, they have a wicked gimmick behind them. 
===Gimmick: Stamina===
Stamina plays an important role for the Chosen Undead, both in Dark Souls and in Smash. Holding the shield button reveals that their shield, in fact, won't reduce despite being held for extended periods. Additionally, they have a unique sort of smash attack in that, after delivering a smash hit, holding the appropriate direction has them repeat the attack a multitude of times. However, both of these tie into one things.
These repetitious strong attacks and this long lasting shield are tied to a brand new stamina stat for them. This stamina ensures that these respective attributes can keep up so long as there's still stamina to spend. Stamina becomes reduced with smash attacks that go on beyond the first smash attack, and whenever their shield is hit. Stamina restores as long as the Chosen Undead doesn't do either of these things for a while.
