I.M. Eddie

## How I.M. Eddie joined the Tourney

I.M. Eddie entered the Smash Bros. Tourney after AncientOgre attacked Jun Kazama 17 years ago, whom Eddie respects greatly. He wants to be more famous himself by battling against AncientOgre and defeating Eddy Gordo.

## Special Attacks

### Wasted Years (Neutral)

Eddie shoots a musical note out of the Iron Maiden Guitar and says "Wasted Years!". The musical note deals 24% damage on contact.

### Number of the Beast (Side)

Eddie makes a brief animation of pointing the Iron Maiden Guitar in front of him, then fires a missile, all the while saying "Number of the Beast!".

### Starblind (Up)

Eddie charges the move while being surrounded by electricity, and then he flies in the direction inputted on the Analog Stick or D-pad while saying "Starblind!".

### Aces High (Down)

Eddie yells "Aces High!" as a bolt of lightning drops from the sky, striking Eddie if its horizontal momentum has not carried him out of the way (and if there is no platform in the way).

### Peace of Mind (Hyper Smash)

Eddie plays the Iron Maiden Guitar for a few seconds, sending out musical shockwaves that damage the summoner's opponents and cause reasonable knockback. The last musical shockwave has a bigger range and damage. Eddie says "Peace of MIND!" after the last musical shockwave.

### When the Wild Wind Blows (Final Smash)

When used, two drawings of I.M. Eddie and multiple stars frame the screen as Eddie dances and says "For Iron Maiden! When the Wild Wind Blows!". The I.M. Eddie drawings flank the window, and the stars appear all over the screen. An instrumental sped-up rendition of the Iron Maiden song of the same name plays to accompany Eddie's dancing. A full-screen explosion occurs when Eddie finishes dancing, causing massive damage to his opponents.

## Super Smash Bros. Tourney 2

In the sequel, he appeares as a background character in Dance Dance Revolution Stage, where he plays his Iron Maiden Guitar during the song of his Final Smash "When the Wild Wind Blows", but he smashes his own guitar after the end of the song. If I.M. Eddie is present on this stage, Steve Harris will be in the background in I.M. Eddie's place.
