Armor Break & Nullify

  • Guardian’s Armor Up is the key to his success. It provides him with all of his defensive capabilities. By removing it, Guardian becomes extremely vulnerable for a window of time.

True Strike & Unblockable Specials

  • Guardian’s Auto-Block can block an entire Special Attack, but with Unblockable or True Strike, his Opponent can ignore his defensive abilities entirely.

Bio

In his earlier days, James Hudson worked for Am-Can as a petrochemical engineer. When he discovered the company’s deep-seated corruption, Hudson left immediately, stealing his latest invention: a super-suit primed to search for underground oil deposits. Fleeing the consequences of his actions, Hudson became Guardian, the founding member of Canada’s elite team of superhumans known as the Alpha Flight, defenders of the True North.
