==Origin==
==Origin==
In ''Dragon Quest III'', the idea of a customizable party system was introduced to the series. This system allowed the player to choose what vocations they wanted to help fight alongside them. Among those vocations was the Martial Artist, a class that possesses low magic capability, but compensates with high Strength, Agility, and Resilience. In games such as ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest VII}}'' and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest IX}}'', the player gains the ability to change an established character's vocation, the Martial Artist being one of the basic ones.

In some games, specific characters fit the archetype of a Martial Artist, such as Jade from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest XI}}'', {{iw|wikipedia|Alena|Dragon Quest}} from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest IV}}'', and Carver from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest VI}}''. Additionally, Martial Artists can be found as NPCs in some of the games.

Both the male and female versions of the Martial Artist appear as a DLC [[Mii Costume]] for the {{SSBU|Mii Brawler}}, released in the second wave of DLC costumes along with [[Hero]] on July 31, 2019. The costumes, as well as the Miis used to showcase them in promotional material, are based on the designs from the class's debut appearance in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest III}}'', with some details modeled in particular after the artwork from the game's Super Famicom remake.

Throughout the costume's reveal trailer, both the male and female Martial Artists are seen attacking opponents with moves inspired from other attacks, seen in the franchise. When first showcased, the male Martial Artist uses Counter Throw against [[Bowser]]. Later, the female Martial Artist uses down tilt followed by Thrust Uppercut for her up special towards [[Mario]]. They are referencing both Leg Sweep and Multifists, two moves appearing for the first time in ''Dragon Quest VI'' and obtained by learning the first rank, and by mastering the Martial Artist vocation respectively.
