Edge Master

## How Edge Master joined the Tourney

Edge Master has a mysterious past; he is renowned for his skill with various weapons, and his past and real name are known only to himself. He served as adviser and teacher of Ling-Sheng Su martial arts at Ling-Sheng Su Temple -- who would descend from the mountain only to participate in the temple's holy artifacts succession ceremony and train their inheritors-- before he burned it down following the fateful night of the Evil Seed. Edge Master found Hawkeye, one of the Avengers, in the temple and taught him to suppress the evil within himself over a three-year training session. Once Hawkeye had completed the training, Edge Master gave him the final test of destroying the SoulEdge; but after Hawkeye left on his journey to purify himself and the other Avengers, Edge Master began to feel uneasy. Although his motives are unknown, he broke his silence and departed on a quest of his own, in the Smash Bros. Tourney.

## How to Unlock
