Iris

## How Iris joined the Tourney

Iris. The youngest cyclops girl ever. Once Iris retired, she opened up his own thunder stable to forget about her love, Ruby Gloom. One day while Iris was watching the previous tournament, she saw a girl just like his old love. Ruby was trying to reclaim her research on forests from the Mishima Zaibatsu. Then Iris learned of the Smash Bros. Tourney. Iris filled with hope says, "What a coincidence! Someone must like me up there. If I get the research files I'll win the lovely Ruby's heart!" Iris enters the Tourney.

## How to Unlock

The player must complete one of the following requirements to unlock Iris:

* Play 337 matches in the Versus Mode.
* Using either Ruby or Misery, finish Classic Mode.

For all of these options, the player must brawl Iris on the Gloomsville Mansion stage. After defeating Iris, the announcer will say "Someone else has joined the Tourney!" after a Smash Ball appears on the lower-right corner of the screen with a message saying "You can now the cyclops girl, Iris.".

## Character Select Screen Animation

### When highlighted

Stands with electricity between her fingers.

### After the announcer calls her name

Lightning strikes around Iris. After the third streak of lightning, it's close up on Iris's face saying "Maybe we should call it a night.".

## Special Attacks

### Thunderbolt (Neutral)

Iris shoots a bolt of lightning from her palm.

### Power Punch (Side)

Iris dashes forward and punches her opponent.

### Teleport (Up)

Iris quickly vanishes and reappears in a different location, depending on how the user tilts the control stick. If it teleports into the air, it will fall in a helpless animation. When used quick enough on the ground, it can be used in place of a dodge, side step, or rolling, as there is less lag time and it throws the opponent off. The only way to travel faster with Iris is its wavedash. This third jump, along with its other normal two jumps, allows for Iris's superbly long and safe recovery. Teleport also passes through attacks. However, this attack does not cause any damage to the opponent.

### Bolt Kick (Down)

Iris's leg is up in the air and when it kicks her opponent it causes the opponent to get zapped.

### Mega Thunderbolt (Hyper Smash)

Same as Thunderbolt, except much stronger.

### Electric Charge (Final Smash)

Iris holds her hands up to the sky and electricity fills them. She spins and electric shoots from her hands sending everyone on stage flying.
