[Wii] Smash Bros. Brawl

I don't want too many 3rd-party characters, otherwise it could loose its Nintendo-ness. I am thingking Resident Evil charcters wouldn't work, as they (like Snake) only really use guns and not many other ways of combat and Sakurai mentioned he didn't want to bring realistic guns into the equation. I can't really Snake being a character that is all too interesting, also I have no idea what his "extra" jump could be. I think characters with a variety of attacks are more suitable, I can see Megaman and Z working well, also Viewtiful Joe and Silvia.

Of course there are characters that are already a near certainty. Diddy for one, I think will be included, also Waluigi. I also hope that there are less character clones. I mean Luigi now, after Luigi's Mansion, probably has enough moves to not be a duplicate of Mario anymore.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I also think it's getting pretty stupid of people suggesting two seperate characters can just change ala Sheik/Zelda. Sheik/Zelda are in fact one person and so can be changed. You can't just add Megaman X and magically change him into Zero, they aren't the same person! It's just as stupid as saying Mario should change into Yoshi.

Also, Nintendo please don't get rid of all the clones. Well not, Dr. Mario, he was my favourite character.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That's a decent idea, having different suits instead of clones. Each suit could alter the character slightly. Racoon Mario could alter Mario's jumping and attack with his tail and so forth.

I didn't have any problems with clones either, except with Gannodorf. Why was he a clone of Captain Falcon is beyond me. Clones like Pikachu/Pichu and Link/Young Link are obviously going to be the same, but Mario/Luigi could have been more drastically different, especially now.

How have they been playing professionally all these years without any online? I'm sure people will manage.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

But complaining about a more efficient way of playing, because it isn't as efficient as you want it to be is stupid. Be happy you have any online.

I was speaking idiomatically.

PsychoJosh is quite the quagmire of useful information.

Also this quote is from the Smash Bros. Dojo.

...And as a special service to readers of this site, I can say that the game's music will be performed by a full orchestra.

It will be a deluxe chorus complete with lyrics in Latin.

It's of a slightly different disposition than previous Smash Bros. games, wouldn't you say?

I also want to change the atmosphere of the game itself a little, too. But you'll just have to look forward to how I'll be doing that.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Shut the hell up, Petey Pirahna is awesome.

FELIPE NO

The only time he sucked was in Mario Tennis, and that's only because I like faster players.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Mr. EAD would be ultimate win.

This got me thinking of an awesome idea. Say either Vent or Aile (from Megaman ZX) were added to Brawl and as a default when they start a battle they are in the ZX biometal form. Now instead of having proper special (B) moves they transform into a different biometal form, sort of like a Zelda/Sheik thing. Each biometal is set to a certain special move eg. HX is set to B-Up, FX to B-Down etc. (I know there are more than four biometals, but I see no real reason to include LX as it's pretty useless out of the water.)

Now in each form instead of changing the special moves of the character it changes the standard attacks. For instances while in the ZX form your standard attack would use the Z-Sabre and to use the buster you would use the assigned special move eg. B changes to character back into ZX and can also be used to shoot the buster, hitting the B button would shoot a single shot and holding B would charge the shot. B would then again be pressed to shoot the charged shot. Charged shots could be transferred through forms, if you accidentally changed form instead of using an attack.

I dunno, I reckon it would be neat and an interesting change to the standard method of playing.

How ya doing, buddy?

Each different special move is dedicated to each transformation, so once you are in a form you use the same special move to perform an attack.

For instance B transforms the character in ZX, pressing B again would perform an attack as he can't possibly transform again.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Pichu and Raichu would be alternate costumes for Pikachu. Raichu would be more powerful, heavier and bulkier. Pichu would be the same useless little thing he already is.

I think their super moves would change drastically as well...

I like how you correct Dubble with baseless assumptions.

How can you correct someone with "speculations"? I don't get it.

Mewtwo's a clone character?
