Long ago, the Super Smash Brothers Tournament was a place where skilled and talented fighters competed with one another for fun and pleasure, providing entertainment across the realms. Other than a few friendly rivals, everyone was happy and at peace with each other.
Of course, hardly anyone remembers that age.
A small group of fighters, dissatisfied with their roles, hungered to become the leaders of the Smash Tournament. They gathered together an elite team of trusted allies, then struck at the very heart of the Tournament. The sudden coup and overthrow of the fair ruler Master Hand threw everything into chaos. Three characters rose to become the new leaders, but they cared not for the well being of the other fighters or common folk. Their reign brought along a terrifying time of death, crime, and destruction.
One fighter stood against them from the oppressed. The great Hero-King, as he was called, spoke out against the injustices and pleaded for others to fight alongside him. He fought back valiently against the evil Trigardd, as they were called, but at the highest point of conflict...
He vanished.
No one knows what happened to him, whether or not the Trigard killed him or he ran off, but without a strong leader, the opposition faded away, and the Super Smash Brothers Tournament was left at the mercy of the Trigard.
Until now.
