NTSC His real name is Vincent, but he prefers the shortened version. Maybe it's to help put you at ease. This great artist will teach you all sorts of techniques to help you produce a real masterpiece of your very own. Pretty nice of him, right? Once you get the hang of things, why not draw a portrait of Vince himself to say thanks?

As an Assist Trophy[edit]

Vince in Ultimate.

Vince appears as an Assist Trophy. When summoned, he'll draw paintings onto the stage, each of which follows an opponent, hiding them and dealing a constant small amount of damage to them. Opponents that are afflicted by a painting will suffer triple damage from opponent attacks. Opponents can defend themselves from the constant damage by shielding. He could draw statues, tomatoes, seashells, cats, and kingfishers. He can not be summoned on Cloud Sea of Alrest, Rainbow Cruise, Spiral Mountain, and Wrecking Crew.

As a costume[edit]

Vince also has a Mii costume based on him for the Mii Swordfighter, wielding a paintbrush.
