Vader's Secret Apprentice
Vader's Secret Apperntice is an up-and-coming main character for LucasArts' new game The Force Unleashed. His storyline is simple- he's a Human male ex-Jedi trained by Darth Vader in secret, used to hunt and kill surviving Jedi from Order 66. Due to the Rule of Two, secrecy is one of his greatest allies. Since Darth Sidious and Darth Vader are those two Sith Lords, he can't be found. He'll even go to the lengths of killing Imperial allies to stay in the shadows, until he is ready to appear as Darth Vader's apprentice and overthrow Lord Sidious. From what I've heard, he's got a crush on the only other person who knows him- Juno Eclipse.
His game has not yet been released, but his addition in Brawl would be wonderful advertising; Nintendo has already done so with the inclusion of Roy in Melee. However, his inclusion would not be limited to purely for advertisement, as the Star Wars series has already created a sizable amount of games.
{A} A single lightsaber slash. 6%
{AA} Two consecutive lightsaber slashes. 9%
{AAA} Two consecutive lightsaber slashes, followed by a step forward with a Force push. 16%
{Side-Tilt} A lightsaber slash aimed at the knees. 14%
{Up-Tilt} Secret Apprentice raises his off-hand, letting out a small burst of Force Lightning. 7%
{Down-Tilt} Crouched position, the user sends a small tremor through his hands into the ground in front of him. 9%
{Up Smash} An upward slash, comparable to the first slash of Link's Up-smash. When charged, it emanates with a bluish Force aura. 16-22%, moderate knockback
{Down Smash} Secret Apprentice floats a foot off the ground and white Force energy emanates from his feet. Little knockback, 13-18%
{Side Smash} The user turns off his lightsaber and pulls it close to him, the quickly stabs it forward and turning it on as he does it. Moderate knockback, 16-23%
{Nair} The user emanates himself in Force energy, much akin to Mewtwo’s N-air. 14%, little knockback
{Uair} The user uses his lightsaber to slash two consecutive slashes. 15%
{Dair} The user spins in air, sending a crescent blade of Force energy to spike enemies. 12%, spike-worthy knockback
{Fair} The user spins in air, sending a crescent blade of Force energy upwards to divert attacks from above. 14%, moderate knockback
{Bair} A small lightning aura surrounds the direct vicinity behind him. 11%, stun
{B} Chain Lightning: Secret Apprentice builds up dark Force energy, then releases it with a chain lightning attack. The longer it is charged, the further it goes and the more damage it causes. 4-22%, goes about as far as just in front of them to about the length of two platforms of Battlefield. If another entity is near the target, it is also targeted as a part of the chain. The second entity must be within a Battlefield panel from the first target, and the third must either a the same length from the first target as the second target is, or half a Battlefield panel from the second target. If more than one target is hit, each additional target takes 2/3 of the damage inflicted to the main target. Moderate knockback
{Side-B} Kinetite: A small ball of raw kinetic energy. It looks like Samus’ B-attack when uncharged, although travels at the speed of her tilt-missile. 11-14%
{Up-B} Force Jump: The user reaches into the Force to extend his jump beyond that of a normal jump. He also holds his lightsaber forward when he does so, a lot like Marth’s Up+B. 7-12%
{Down-B} Force Repulse, lesser: A move made by the Secret Apprentice himself. The user is engulfed in blue Force energy, flinging opponents and projectiles away. Projectiles are reversed like Mario's cape when the attack and players are flung away like being hit by a less effective shine. Only lasts for up to two seconds.
{Z} Force Choke: The person is grabbed and choked by Force Grip. 1% per second the target is grabbed for.
{A while grabbed} Force Lightning: The victim gets a shock shot through his body. 2%
{Forward} Force Push: The target is flung forward without being touched. It won't do as much as grab attacks of other characters due to the damage-over-time of being grabbed in the first place. High knockback, 6%
{Backward} Force Push: Same as forward, but flung to the back of the user. Moderate knockback, 4%
{Upward} Force Push: Same as forward, but flung upwards instead. Moderate knockback, 7%
{Downward} Spear of the Midnight Black: The target is flung at the floor, then stabbed by a spear created from concentrated Force energy. Little knockback, 9%
{Final Smash} Force Repulse Unleashed: A main point in his home game is the use of extreme forms of attacks. His signature attack, Force Repulse is shown in the game's trailer. It is a larger form of his Down-B, engulfing a large portion of the screen in a circular shape. It sends people flying back with high knockback and causes an undecided amount of damage (I cannot say, as I don't know how to balance something we haven't been able to measure yet).
