Yuri Lowell (Tales of Vesperia)

Route Name: Brave Vesperia, on the job!

As a member of the titular guild Brave Vesperia, Yuri's route mainly consists of him performing various mercenary-related tasks such as hunting down dangerous monsters and bringing notorious criminals to justice by any means necessary.

Round 1- A battle against a Red Sheik in the interior of Castle Siege with a blue Zelda as Yuri's ally. This round serves as a reference to the first boss fight of Yuri's home game, where he must protect a fledgling princess from an insane assassin by the name of Zagi. ♫: Furnace of War

Round 2- A Giant dark blue Ivysaur and a pair of smaller Ivysaurs of the same color on the Gaur Plains. Ivysaur is meant to act as a Giganto Monster, one of many abnormally large optional bosses one can encounter throughout the world of Tales of Vesperia. In addition, its dark blue alt and backup Ivysaurs double as a subtle reference to Gattsuo, an infamous early game boss that's been known to give new players a hard time. ♫: A Formidable Foe Stands in the Way

Round 3- A black Wolf with a Death Scythe and a red Wario with a Killing Edge on the Pirate Ship. Wolf and Wario are meant to represent Yeager and Barbos, who serve as the leaders of two antagonistic guilds called Leviathan's Claw and the Blood Alliance. Defeating them will then prompt the red Sheik from Round 1 (aka Zagi) to show up for a rematch. ♫: Leviathan's Claw

Round 4- A default Ike on the Omega form of the Coliseum. This is a pretty direct reference to the actual Coliseum battles of Vesperia, and Ike himself happens to be part of a mercenary group just like Yuri. Defeating Ike will cause the local Zagi stand-in to drop in for yet another rematch, carrying a shiny new Rage Blaster to boot. ♫: Burning Fighting Spirit

Round 5- A red Ganondorf and an orange Dark Pit on Spear Pillar. These two are based on Alexei, the main antagonist of the second arc of Vesperia's story, and Schwann, Alexei's spoilerific right-hand man. Defeating them will, you guessed it, result in another rematch with Zagi/Sheik. This time, s/he'll be carrying around a Ramblin' Evil Mushroom to represent Zagi's newfound poison status. ♫: Cutting Off Dark Ambitions

Round 6- This is a simple one-on-one duel with a white Marth on the Omega form of Gaur Plains, referencing the epic spar with Yuri's best friend Flynn Scifo near the end of Tales of Vesperia. Defeating Marth will- oh wait, Zagi's not here this time. Carry on. ♫: Fury Sparks

Final Battle- Oh look, Zagi decided to come back for one last round. Throw him in the trash, and you'll proceed to the real final battle against Dracula, who serves as the closest Smash counterpart to Duke, the humanity hating final boss of Tales of Vesperia. ♫: Restless Blade, The Final Showdown, and A Once-in-a-Lifetime Duel
