Toshiie

## How Toshiie joined the Tourney

Toshiie is Katsuie's young protege who aspires to live up to his mentor's reputation. After the battles of Okehazama and Kanegasaki, he enlists himself into Hideyoshi's troops in order to impress Katsuie. Defeating the Saika rebels and Mori clan at Osaka Bay, Toshiie joins Hideyoshi's faction for the time being. While they're dealing with the Chosokabe clan at Shikoku, they hear news of Nobunaga's death at Honnōji. Though Toshiie is eager to return at once, Hideyoshi calmly stays put to finish their conflict at hand. Hearing this, Toshiie accuses him of being heartless and can't find himself to condone Hideyoshi's actions. In response, Hideyoshi beats Toshiie and gravely tells him to not look away from reality.

## How to Unlock

In Tourney 1, the player must accomplish one of these tasks to unlock Toshiie:

* Play 286 Versus Mode matches.
* Using Captain John Price, win 10 matches in the Versus Mode.

For both requirements, the player will have to fight Toshiie at New-Kinkakuji. Upon defeating him, 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 use Keiji's uncle and head of the Maeda clan, Toshiie Maeda!" He will be seen right of Captain Falcon, left of Charizard, above Green Lantern, and below Mr. Game & Watch.
