Kate Alen (SSB6)

Kate Alen (ケイトアレン, Keitoaren) is an unlockable newcomer in the game Super Smash Bros. Universe. Like many other F-Zero characters, her design and attacks are a mix of both of her appearances in F-Zero GX, and the F-Zero anime. As such, her facial expressions have been exaggerated to reflect her appearance in the anime. In the English version of the game, she is voiced once again by Karen Neill who also voiced her in the F-Zero anime.
==Description==
Kate Alen is a character that relies on various techniques for her moveset such singing, karate, kung-fu, dancing, fashion, and objects such as records, tasers, and purses to fight with. However, Kate's music talents tend to weaken over the course of battle. However this problem can be countered by using recovery items such as Food. These moves are entirely original to the Super Smash Bros. series, as Kate Alen has never been seen outside of her vehicle in the F-Zero series. In addition, she is also the same weight as the Wii Fit Trainer, making a balance of speed and power.

===Special Moves===
*Neutral special - High Note: Kate Alen takes a deep breath and preforms a powerful musical note that is strong enough to break shields and stun opponents. The move has to charge in order to unleash its full power.
**Glass Breaker: An extremely powerful musical note that can damage opponents. However it takes a long time to charge, so uses wisely.
**Speedy Note: A extremely quick variation of the move, doesn't damage the opponents, only stuns them longer.
*Side special - Microphone Lasso: Kate Alen pulls out a microphone and tosses it like a lasso to bring captured opponents towards her.
**Faulty Microphone: A faster version of the move with electricity. Can damage Kate as well.
**Heavy Metal Lasso: A slower and heavier version of the move. Causes more damage, but is very slow.
*Up special - Purse Toss: Kate Alen pulls out her purse and tosses it in the air.
**Mini Purse Jump: A much smaller purse is tossed up, and allows Kate to jump higher. Doesn't do damage.
**Mega Handbag: Kate pulls out a larger, heavier purse, and tosses it in the air. More powerful than the original move, but has awful recovery.
*Down special - Taser: Kate Alen pulls out a taser and sends out a powerful voltage towards her opponents. Based off of the weapon she used against Mr. EAD in the F-Zero Anime.
**Thunderstorm Taser: Kate takes longer to pull out her taser, but it's more powerful and can cause the voltage to spread out in all directions.
**Lightweight Taser: A quicker taser that sends out voltage faster, but it deals less damage.
===Final Smash===
