Major characters of Season 3

Here is a list of **major characters of Season 3 of the CPUCS**.

#### Audible Link

* Link returned to the CPU Tournaments in Season 3 with a brand new sponsorship deal with Audible.com. In his first appearance in NO FUN ALLOWED, he defeated Dark Vincent's servant Dark Ken and won the tournament, making him the first first fighter to ever win three tournaments. However, in Thug Finals he was assaulted by Dark Vincent, who turned his own Remote Bombs against him and defeated him, sending Link to the Dark Realm. There he was corrupted into **Dark Audible Dark Link**, a brainwashed puppet of Dark Vince. Dark Audible Dark Link was sent to attack Blue Incineroar after his victory in Vincent's TRAINING CAMP tournament, but Blue Incineroar defeated him, freeing him from Dark Vince's control and reverting him to his former self. As the most skilled fighter by ELO, Link was chosen to join Vincent and Blue Incineroar in leading the attack on the Dark Realm in ENDGAME.
	+ In the Dark Realm, Audible Link was attacked by a dark counterpart, Dark Young Link. Though the game was close, Link pulled through over his young doppelganger, denying him a chance to retake the game with his Final Smash with a well-placed dash attack. In the next round he faced Blue Incineroar in a friendly duel and was eliminated. He was among the fighters seen mourning the fallen at the end.

#### Blue Incineroar

* After some minor victories in Season 2, Blue Incineroar returned to the CPUCS hoping to prove himself as a fighter in TRAINING CAMP. After pulling a last-minute victory over powerful fighter King Dedede, Blue Incineroar blew through brackets with victories over Falco, Bowser, and finally veteran fighter Zelda to take home the tournament, even though he deliberately threw a stock to make the match harder for him. For this victory, Blue was awarded a spot in Vincent's army. In Thug Finals Blue was attacked by Dark Audible Dark Link, sent from the Dark Realm to defeat him before he grew any stronger. Blue Incineroar defeated him, reverting him back to Audible Link. In THE BEACH EPISODE, Blue Incineroar won once again, the first fighter to win two tournaments back-to-back in one season. This victory went to his head, threatening to turn him away from the Light Realm. However, his cousin Panda Global Incineroar, returned after a long absence to challenge him in Thug Finals to prevent him from turning to evil. Blue Incineroar lost, and realized the error of his ways.
	+ In ENDGAME Blue Incineroar first faced a mysterious Dark Incineroar in battle and defeated him in his only battle against a Dark Realm fighter. He then defeated Audible Link in a friendly duel, followed by a victory over newcomer Joker. In semifinals Blue took on Zelda, who he defeated for his first tournament win, and lost. Blue Incineroar was among the fighters seen mourning the fallen at the end.

#### Skillshare Kirby

* After weak performances in his Season 2 appearances, Kirby was thought by many to be washed out, and his highly anticipated Season 3 debut in WORLDS COLLIDE defending the Light Realm ended with an unceremonious Round 1 defeat by Dark Realm enforcer Dark Meta Knight. He reappeared in THE BEACH EPISODE, where he was again eliminated in Round 1, this time by Wii Fit Trainer.
	+ Despite these losses Skillshare Kirby still had his supporters, and was chosen to go off to fight against the Dark Realm for ENDGAME. There, he defeated Dark Meta Knight in a Round 1 grudge match, quickly picking up steam with his defeat of the spy Hilda in the next round. In Round 3 he took on Shadow Mewtwo, a mysterious competitor who defeated Punished Convict, and defeated him in kind. These wins put Kirby back in the spotlight, but his next fight was his toughest- the murderous Blood Falcon, fresh off of killing Kirby's friends King Dedede and Captain Falcon and his mentor, Vincent. Standing at the Entrance to the Dark Realm where Dedede stood before him, Kirby blew Blood Falcon away, saving the Light Realm from the final Dark Realm fighter and avenging his fallen friends. Kirby's victory in his final battle against his old rival Zelda cemented him as the Grand Champion of the CPUCS once again, having pulled through despite the odds to bring hope where darkness once reigned. He was among the fighters seen mourning the fallen at the end.

### **Other Characters**

#### Vincent

* Vincent returned to the CPUCS in Season 3 to win another tournament, but unexpectedly was challenged by a mysterious challenger named Dark Vince in his first match of the season in NO FUN ALLOWED. As the fight went on, Dark Vince revealed that he had come from another realm to replace the Vincent of the Light Timeline, and true to his word defeated him. However, Vincent refused to stay down and returned in the next tournament, WORLDS COLLIDE, to combat Dark Vincent and his army from the Dark Realm, calling on the aid of Punished Convict to defeat Dark Vince and training Captain Falcon to take on Dark Vincent's servant Dark Wolf. However, despite these efforts, Dark Wolf defeated Captain Falcon and took over the Light Realm for Dark Vincent. With the Light Realm controlled by hostile forces, Vincent held a tournament, TRAINING CAMP, to find a new champion to take on the Dark Realm, with Blue Incineroar unexpectedly emerging to join him. Gathering an army of heroes, Vincent summoned them all for a final attack on the Dark Realm. However, the bus broke down on the way to the Dark Realm, so the fighters spent an afternoon relaxing at the beach before the final battle.
	+ As the attack on the Dark Realm began in ENDGAME, Vincent went straight to the source of the trouble: Dark Vincent's lair. Dark Vincent initially had the upper hand, netting an early KO by trapping Vincent in a pit. However, Vincent began to hit Dark Vince relentlessly with the strongest moves he had, revealing his true power. Vincent emerged victorious, striking Dark Vincent with his Vincent Punch, launching him into his own cannon trap and sending him to his doom. Dark Vincent was out of the game, But it was a short victory- Vincent's next challenge was to be his last. Blood Falcon, a bloodthirsty bounty hunter fresh off of killing Vincent's pupil Captain Falcon, found Vincent recovering from his battle in Dark Vincent's lair. Blood Falcon caught him off guard, and though Vincent fought valiantly, Blood Falcon overpowered and killed him, leaving the Light Realm without a leader.

#### King Dedede

* King Dedede entered the NO FUN ALLOWED tournament looking for victory, but unexpectedly ended up a hero when he engaged Dark Vincent in semifinals. Dark Vince had steamrolled Vincent and Little Mac, but when he stepped up to take on King Dedede he found himself on the defensive, desperately dodging King Dedede's hammer. The king defeated Dark Vincent, saving the Light Realm, and then fought Audible Link in a friendly cooldown match and lost. King Dedede returned in TRAINING CAMP to prove himself a worthy leader for Vincent's army and dominated his battle against Blue Incineroar, but in the final seconds of the match was taken out by a desperate Cross Chop, losing to the soon-to-be champion. King Dedede also joined the Light Realm on vacation in THE BEACH EPISODE and was one of the first fighters to demonstrate use of FDI via his gordos.
	+ In ENDGAME, King Dedede first took on Ganondorf, defeating him easily by taking advantage of his opponent's slow speed. In Round 2 he faced the upstart Piranha Plant, a member of the Light Realm team, and proved himself the stronger fighter. However, his next opponent, Blood Falcon, was his toughest, and his last. Having learned of Blood Falcon's murders of Captain Falcon and Vincent, King Dedede stepped up to defend his friends and put a stop to Blood Falcon's rampage. However, Blood Falcon overcame him, with King Dedede joining the fallen.

#### Parsec Captain Falcon

* Though Captain Falcon had appeared numerous times throughout Season 2, including a memorable battle against Cloud in PLANTATIONAL, he never demonstrated his true potential until Season 3. In his season debut in WORLDS COLLIDE he surprised the commentators with fast, gutsy, crowd-pleasing plays, even defeating Vincent in semifinals. However, in finals he lost to Dark Realm warrior Dark Wolf, resulting in the takeover of the Light Realm. He returned in TRAINING CAMP with a sponsorship from Parsec, the first fighter to win a sponsorship without winning a tournament, and made many impressive plays in his battles against Mega Man and Wii Fit Trainer.
	+ Parsec Captain Falcon was chosen to join Vincent's Light Realm army for ENDGAME, and in Round 1 he encountered a bounty hunter from another realm bearing his own mask- Blood Falcon. Alpharad declared that this was no ordinary Falcon ditto- these two fighters were locked in a duel to the death. Fighting for his life, Captain Falcon struggled valiantly against Blood Falcon, but it was in vain. Blood Falcon killed Captain Falcon, the first casualty of Blood Falcon's rampage during ENDGAME.

#### Zelda

* In her first Season 3 appearance Zelda defeated Season 1 veteran Lucina and made a successful run all the way to finals before being defeated by up-and-comer Blue Incineroar.
	+ In ENDGAME Zelda came out in full force, beginning with her defeat of Dark Realm fighters Dark Toon Link and Dark Pit, who had previously defeated Lucina. In Round 3 she took on Matt, a legendarily strong fighter; the battle was very close and Matt gave Zelda a serious challenge, but in the end she pulled through with one final magical blast. In semifinals she rematched Blue Incineroar and defeated him. Her last opponent was her old rival Skillshare Kirby, but, battling in the lair of the fallen Dark Vincent, Kirby defeated her, cementing himself as the grand champion of the CPUCS. She was among the fighters seen mourning the fallen at the end.

#### Panda Global Incineroar

PG Incineroar's only Season 3 appearance came in Thug Finals of THE BEACH EPISODE. As his cousin Blue Incineroar grew overconfident and his ego grew to the brim, PG Incineroar returned to ensure his brother didn't fall to the dark side. He defeated Blue Incineroar on Wuhu Island, reminding him of his duty to his friends and family.

* Panda Global Incineroar was not with the Light Realm fighters in the battle against the Dark Realm in ENDGAME. He was, however, seen mourning the fallen with Blue Incineroar at the end.

#### ToyConvict

* Hearing that Vincent was going to attack the Dark Realm, ToyConvict broke out of jail after his imprisonment in PRISON BREAK to confront his old rival. However, he instead ended up facing Matt, the Mii legend, and was handily defeated. After hearing of the defeat of the Dark Realm and Vincent's death at the hands of Blood Falcon, ToyConvict vanished to parts unknown.

And, on the end card of ENDGAME:

## Dark Realm

### **Tournament Champions**

#### Dark Wolf

* Dark Wolf joined Dark Vincent's army in the attack on the Light Realm in WORLDS COLLIDE and proved himself a powerful fighter by defeating his comrade Dark Meta Knight, who had previously defeated CPUCS champion Skillshare Kirby in Round 1, and humiliating guest fighter Major Duncan in semifinals. In finals he took on Captain Falcon, a fighter capable of defeating Vincent, and defeated him, bringing the Light Realm under Dark Vincent's control.
	+ After this victory, Dark Wolf returned fighting for Dark Vince in ENDGAME, where he was faced in Round 1 by Major Duncan, who was eager for his revenge. Despite being on his home territory, Dark Wolf was eliminated by Major, who took advantage of lava barrels and Wolf's weak recovery to defeat him.

### **Other Characters**

#### Dark Vincent

* Dark Vincent first revealed himself to the Light Realm in NO FUN ALLOWED, where he explained that he came from another timeline where ToyConvict was good at the game and took over the world. In his first appearance he fought Vincent in Round 1 and defeated him, determined to take his place in the Light Timeline. After defeating Little Mac in Round 2, Dark Vincent was challenged by the powerful fighter King Dedede and, after an intense battle, knocked out of the tournament. However, Dark Vince returned in Thug Finals for a surprise attack on Audible Link, the champion. With a powerful downward spike, Dark Vince sent Link to the Dark Realm and temporarily collapsed the timeline. When the timeline recovered, the Light Realmers found Dark Vince with an army from the Dark Timeline to conquer the Light Realm. Dark Vincent fought the newly arrived Punished Convict and was defeated; however, through his servant Dark Wolf, Dark Vincent nonetheless succeeded in taking over the Light Realm. Dark Vincent discovered Vincent's plan to take on the Dark Realm directly by assembling an army for an invasion, and sent the brainwashed Dark Audible Dark Link to defeat the new champion, Blue Incineroar; this plan, unfortunately for him, failed, and Blue Incineroar freed Audible Link from Dark Vince's control.
	+ In ENDGAME, Dark Vincent was in his lair when Vincent arrived to challenge him. Dark Vincent used dirty moves such as a cannon trap in the ceiling and footstools for an advantage early on, but his tricks were no match for Vincent's sheer power and skill. In the end Dark Vince found himself on the receiving end of the Vincent Kick and was launched right into his own cannon trap, bringing his reign of terror to an end.

#### Dark Ken

* When the commentators saw that the first match of Season 3 in NO FUN ALLOWED was between Rosalina and Ken, they realized that neither fighter had ever won a tournament game. To their surprise Ken pulled ahead and proceeded to dominate his battles, defeating Inkling before being eliminated by Audible Link. However, in his next appearance it was revealed that this was only Dark Ken impersonating Ken in the Light Realm, with the real Ken maintaining his loss streak. With this knowledge, Vincent defeated him upon his return in WORLDS COLLIDE.
	+ Dark Ken returned in ENDGAME defending the Dark Realm for Dark Vince. However, in a major upset, he lost to Rosalina and Luma in a first-round grudge match, her first tournament win in four months of competing in CPUCS tournaments.

## Other Realms

### **"Third Timeline"**

#### Punished Convict

* Punished Convict is ToyConvict from an alternate timeline where he was never corrupted by the JoyCons and instead took up the sword.`Hearing of Dark Vince's attack on the Light Realm, Punished Convict arrived with his student Major to keep Dark Vincent at bay. Confronting Dark Vince personally, Punished Convict defeated him, leaving his army leaderless. After Dark Wolf won the TRAINING CAMP for his master, Punished Convict returned to his timeline with Major, training on Umbra Clock Tower as they went.
	+ Punished Convict joined his allies from the Light Timeline for the attack on the Dark Realm in ENDGAME. There he defeated Dark Samus, the Dark Realm spy who became the first CPUCS champion, and was eliminated by Shadow Mewtwo, another of Dark Vincent's servants. He was seen mourning the fallen fighters of the Light Realm at the end.

#### Major Duncan

* Major Duncan is a student of Punished Convict and originates from the same timeline as him. Major was the first and only human player to fight in the CPUCS with his appearance in WORLDS COLLIDE, where he embarrassingly lost to Dark Wolf by mis-inputting a Chakram projectile instead of his recovery.
	+ Major returned for ENDGAME, this time as a CPU fighter, joining his master Punished Convict and the Light Realm in their attack on the Dark Realm. He defeated Dark Wolf in a first-round grudge match, taking advantage of the stage's lava barrels while his opponent was distracted to defeat him. In the next round he took on wild card newcomer Joker and was defeated.

### **Unknown Origin**

#### Matt

* Matt appeared to join the Light Realm fighters in the attack on the Dark Realm in ENDGAME as a last-minute recruit and immediately demonstrated his power by thrashing ToyConvict in Round 1, bouncing ToyConvict off moving bumpers with his Final Smash and then balancing between said bumpers as ToyConvict flew off into the sky. In Round 2 he fought Rosalina, high off her first ever win over another fighter, and defeated her, bringing her one-game win streak to an end. In Round 3 he faced veteran Zelda where- despite doing the impossible by avoiding her Triforce of Wisdom Final Smash- he missed a Final Smash of his own, losing the game. After ENDGAME Matt disappeared, never to be seen again.

#### Joker

* A favorite of Alpharad, Joker first made his presence known issuing an ultimatum from his group, the Phantom Thieves, to Dark Vincent, declaring that his time had come. Joker joined Vincent's force in ENDGAME, defeating Dark Realm agent Bayonetta in Round 1 before besting his ally Major in Round 2. He was eliminated in Round 3 by Blue Incineroar.

#### Blood Falcon

* A bounty hunter from another timeline, Blood Falcon first appeared in ENDGAME fighting for Dark Vincent's army, and it seemed that his match against Parsec Captain Falcon would be a pretty standard battle of good versus evil. However, the battle quickly flipped on its head when Blood Falcon's murderous intent became clear: in a shocking turn of events, Blood Falcon killed Captain Falcon, permanently ending his career. In Round 2, Blood Falcon fought Vincent in what seemed would be an easy win for Vincent. However, Vincent was weary from having just defeated Dark Vince, and so was defeated and killed by Blood Falcon. His last victim was King Dedede, one of the few fighters capable of taking on Dark Vince and winning, creating fears that Blood Falcon was unbeatable. Blood Falcon's reign of terror finally ended in Semifinals, where Skillshare Kirby, finally returning to form, eliminated him, avenging his fallen friends.
