New Smash Characters (possible spoilers)

[AMetroidGuy]

A Pokemon Trainer variation that let's you use different Pokemon.

How about Giovanni? It would be neat to see him return from the sabbatical he went on near the end of Red/Blue. He could control more evil-looking Pokemon. Which Pokemon do you think he would use?

Well, his specialty is Ground, so, Nidoking or Garchomp, Hippowdon, and... I dunno? maybe Beedrill, like he had in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

I think Nidoking is too heavy, like heavier than Bowser + Dedede heavy.

How much does it weigh? I can’t really imagine it’s that much. I like Nidoking because it really represents Giovanni’s power as a Gym Leader. But I did suggest Garchomp as an alternative.

Hippowdon? I don't think hippos can jump.

Ivysaur should’t be able to jump well either, but they made it work.

I also don't think Bee(drill)s can jump either. They just fly.

It would be a combination between the way Mewtwo always floated around and the way Charizard flies. I suggested it to give some variety to the team.

That's the problem with Giovanni. Ground Pokémon just suck at jumping. And Giovanni would HAVE to have Persian, it's his favorite.

Only in the anime. And the fact that they used Red rather than Ash, and didn’t even name him, clearly shows that they want to pay tribute to the games, not the show. The reaso Beedrill could work is that PA has often been complemented as the truest representation of the world whathisface, Satoshi Tajiri? envisioned.

[lame ideas]

Yeah... no.

Oh, and I vote for the deaths of Jigglypuff and Olimar. They just plain suck.

That is purely your opinion, and off-topic too, we’re talking about whom to add, not whom to remove.

You two can be the members of the Super Sonic Search and Smash Squad (SSSSS).

Only a little late on this topic...

I wanted Lyn to be in Brawl more than pretty much any other character. When I saw the assist trophy announced I was more excited than I was for any other announcement, because I thought she was playable (little too excited). Then I realized she was an assist trophy, and the disappoint lingers even today. I'd still like to see her playable in the next(?) Smash Bros game.

I understand why a lot of people say Hector instead, he'd be easier to make more unique. Still, Lyn is my favorite FE lord to date, followed by Ike and then Hector. At the same time, Fire Emblem has a lot more to offer Smash Bros than a bunch of swordsmen and women, and it certainly wouldn't be a bad thing to see a lance/axe/magic wielder get in.

I also think Issac deserved a shot. Golden Sun was an amazing RPG and Camelot has given a ton of hints regarding another Golden Sun game. I don't think it's a dead series, and I think he stands at least some chance of being in the next game.

Geno [insert lolz here]. But seriously, Mario RPG is one of my favorite games of all time (I generally consider it my favorite) and seeing it get that kind of representation in Smash Bros would make me giddy like a like a little kid on Christmas morning. Nintendo would just need to strange the rights out of Square Enix... I wish they'd just buy the rights to everything that has to do with that game. So there's pretty much no chance of it happening, who cares. I just want some major Mario RPG representation.

My three top picks for the next game, and I think all of them could be made unique enough with little effort.



Additionally hope they try something a little different next time around, and have "model swap" characters. Basically, what they did with Dark Link and Wario, only taken a step further on specific characters. Like making the special effects suit characters better. Say they had a Dark Samus costume for Samus, effects for attacks would make them look more phazon based.

Implementing something like that for several characters would be enough for me. Slightly changing attributes (not necessarily attacks, just power, speed, jump height and distance, etc) for different costumes would be even better though. No question about whether or not they can do it, they'll just have to put more effort into characters and less into a massive single player mode most people don't care much about...


And finally, lets hope the next Smash Bros team is a bit more creative and makes some of these characters that never should have been "clone characters" in the first place more unique. Primarily Ganondorf and Toon Link, as they had the most potential to be unique and weren't.

Same here... I wish to support Robotnik's Legion!

[Naner]

I wish to help Sonic and destroy Robotnik once and for all.












Or maybe join the S^5 so Sonic doesn't annoy me in Brawl anymore.

Instead of Lucario (who I thought was a significant upgrade from Mewtwo), they could add Gandrayda, whose final smash could be morphing into another character. Her Down+B move could be some kind of attack copier like Kirby, to compliment her shape shifting ability. From there, the rest of her moves would be similar to Lucario's (like we witnessed in Prime 3)

Add Tails or Knuckles. Tails would be able to fly as an up+B and Knuckles would be able to glide. Aside from that, they would each need a unique move set. I Imagine Knuckles would be sort of slow but strong, and Tails would play sort of like Diddy Kong.

Banjo and Kazooie, together or as separate characters.

Megaman.

Rundas.

For now.. that's it

Her Down+B move could be some kind of attack copier like Kirby, to compliment her shape shifting ability. From there, the rest of her moves would be similar to Lucario's (like we witnessed in Prime 3)

I'd more imagine Gandy to be like Zero Suit Samus in her basic fighting style.

Her morphing would be something of a Forward+B charge attack, with Gandy taking different forms with different attack strengths. For her Up+B, she'd morph into a Swarmbot flock. Down+B is the ZS Samus Flip Jump, and normal B is her chakram attack.

Final Smash is a PED-juiced round of Hypermode, like Giga Bowser or Wario-Man.

Note to Nintendo: Come Smash Bros. 4, ditch ZS Samus and put Gandy in her place as a separate character.

[Naner]

Keep ZSS and add Gandy.

[Silver Skree]

pff, I'd go for rundas.

his Up+B recovery could be his ice-riding thing, and the final smash would make ice skewers come up from the bottom of the screen, and they'd deal massive damage and freeze whoever got hit.

normal attack is just the regular punch, kick, etc. B could be a sort of Ice Beam, down and B could launch the little balls of ice he does in Prime 3 when he's flying, and they would home in and deal minor damage. Side B could be that ice scater he does in Prime 3 after running at you.

Too much like the Ice Climbers’ FS.

[Silver Skree]

Oh, and his taunt could be his suicidal skewering of himself.

Rofl.

Rofl.

A damaging one like Luigi’s, at that.

Anyone from Metroid. And now that they have the other Hunters, they have proper candidates! Though, all only really appearing in one game each might not make them important enough.
I would like Ridley. (not going to happen, but I can dream right?)

LOL What about Metroid 1 Ridley? That'd be funny. His final smash would be turning into SM Ridley!

Actually that gave me an idea. Ridley could be a good Final Smash. (For a space pirate? Or Gandrayda could morph into him (or Kraid, like at random) Wow. That would be fun! so, I think Ridley, if not a character, a final smash.

Giga Bowser was a boss in the last one, a Final Smash in the next. xD

Motherbrain. She sits in the middle of the stage, defenseless. Shooting little rings at the speed of snails at you. And she'd still be accused of being cheap. xD

[Naner]

They could add one of the following:

Ghor: F-Smash he gets his big armor. Otherwise, he has Plasma Whip attacks similar to ZSS, but slower and stronger. And not the exact same attacks.

Rundas: F-Smash similar to the Ice Climbers', but with several smaller glaciers and more spread out on the stage, making it more efficient on bigger stages and not make Rundas himself slip to death.

Gandrayda: Morph a lot. F-Smash, morphs into a random opponent and uses his F-Smash. Now what would happen if the opponent is another Gandrayda? Or she could morph into Ridley or Kraid, like above.

Dark Samus/Corrupted P.E.D. Samus: Instead of a strong charge beam, a rapid fire one, like in Prime 3. F-Smash could be: The Phazon attack DS uses against the hunters in the beginning of Prime 3 or the Phazon shot Samus uses to destroy the Leviathans.

Sylux.

Ridley: A bit bigger than Bowser, with wings(duh). A bit similar to Charizard in jumping matters. F-Smash could be enter Hypermode, kinda like Warioman.
