Smash Bros. Preferences?

[Raziel]

Okay, I was pretty disappointed with the selection of bonus characters in Smash Bros. Melee. Too many of them were copies of already existing characters. Luigi, Dr. Mario, Pichu, Young Link, Roy, Ganondorf, and Falco were all slightly altered copies of other characters in the game. I felt a little cheated. What characters would you have preferred in place of your least favorite bonus characters?

[Raziel]

I would have liked another Earthbound character like Poo or Jeff in place of Pichu or Dr. Mario.

[GameCube]

they should have put Sonic and Tails in the game

those arent nintendo products.

i'd rather see a creatable character than any more than there are right now

[GameCube]

actually, sonic is now on the gamecube.

yes, but that's still sega's software entity.

[GameCube]

yea, but sonic team actually makes the games

[FuRy]

Screw Sonic and Tails, how about Knuckles.....?

[lukmonsta]

I think there's nothing wrong with them creating falco or ganon, 'cuz they're better than the originals. However, if I had it my way, Young Link would be something more like the first Catselvania guy. His game sucked, but SSMB could revive him. Heck, look what they did for Ice Climbers! ...Bad example, I guess...

[Raziel]

I definitely prefer Ganondorf over Captain Falcon, but I like Fox WAY more than Falco. Simon Belmont would've been cool, but that character is no longer exclusively licensed to Nintendo, so he couldn't have been in the game. I had the hardest time coming up with characters that they could have used, but it's not easy.

[Raziel]

Where did the text in my gold come from?? I thought that was against the rules.

[GameCube]

i fixed ur Gold Points, u now have 100

[Raziel]

Cool man. I was just confused as to why it was there.

[GameCube]

well, people can type words in when they give GPs

[lukmonsta]

Haha, I should be more ashamed about my gold than you should be about "I just bite it off." Ah, Randuin, you funny funny moderator... You make me want to pray for your death.

[Raziel]

What does that even mean? "Yo...I just bite it off"? Am I missing something here?

[GameCube]

i have no idea

[lukmonsta]

Yeah, but whoever wrote it probably got it...Let's just say "It was a funny joke for some guy."

[GameCube]

yea, probably

[lukmonsta]

Good Lord, wtf is happening to my gold? Someone out there is pretty damn malicious.

[Mr.Lee]

maybe you behave bad..

[RoboticSilence]

Sonic Team = Sega-run ... Sega OWNS Sonic... it doesn't matter what system it's on... and I would have liked to see J-Bomb from Blast Corps or Bomberman.

[RoboticSilence]

Someone give me 200e12 gold... :p

[RoboticSilence]

Or 200³ gold.

[Mr.Lee]

a + or a ( - ) ? ;)

[RoboticSilence]

+...

[Raziel]

J-BOMB!! I didn't even think of Blast Corps! That would have been awesome!

[GameCube]

yea, it would of

[lukmonsta]

What the flying yellow robot? What would be his B move or his ^-B+\/ move or...

[RoboticSilence]

Dive, but I guess with him, getting knocked off would be impossible... he flies... B could be like, a dive forward... B+Down could have him roll backward and fire the thrusters in the opponent's face... B+Up... well... Jet up, I guess... he'd sorta be a sort-range character.

[Raziel]

Naw, he'd be just fine to control. They could just make his double jump a large burst from his pack. He'd be no different from Kirby or Yoshi, they've both got INSANE double jumps, but no real triple jump. It would be the same for J-Bomb. They'd have to throw his stomp move in for Down+B or Down+A. And they could come up with some cooler shit for him to have that he didn't have in BC. Just look at Ness. He didn't have PSI Fire, Thunder or Magnet in EarthBound, and those are three of his moves.

[GameCube]

thats a good point

[lukmonsta]

He actually would be a good character, 'cuz as far as I can remember, he couldn't fly forever. He'd be like yoshi and captain falcon, plus maybe fox with that jet thing goin' on...sigh...i'm revealing too much about my "All in the Family" online fanfiction roots...thought I had gotten rid of that terrible habit

[Jamesadin]

hmm, the guy from battletanx, he could rip around in a tank, it would be cool...

[Raziel]

Mumbo Jumbo from Banjo-Kazooie would have been badass. Maybe Juno or Lupus from Jet Force Gemini.

[GameCube]

Sonic or Tails would be sweet

[lukmonsta]

Is it true you can get sonic and tails (two seperate fighters, not like ice climbers) both by killing 10 ppl incruel melee? I've nly ever gotten 4...

[Raziel]

No, that's a load of crap. EGM made it up as an April Fools joke.

[Raziel]

Fulgore!! The cyborg from Killer Instinct!! I know he was already in an arcade fighter before, but he would have been BADASS in Smash Bros. Melee.

[GameCube]

yea, it was a joke, but that would be cool though

[Knuckles]

They should have Slippy, Peppy, Rob64, Crystal, Sonic, Knuckles, and Shadow on the next Super Smash Bros.

[Raziel]

That would just be a little redundant.

J-Bomb couldn't fly forever, he had to dip... after a while of flying he'd lose altitude and jet back up. And what about Mike Tyson... he had his own game on the NES(Punch-Out)... ear bite for B... :]... that would be funny as hell.

[ZeroX]

I think some FF chars should be on there (I DONT KNOW!)
I though Roy and Marth were OK though....Dr. Mario and Pichu and Mario and Lugia had to go...I just dont like em

[GameCube]

yea, there were too many pokemon.....

[ZeroX]

Mewtwo was a pretty strong char...I kicked ARSE on the first one...I'd keep going behind you then throw you off the stage....I seriously suck at Gamecube...I've played SSBM/Super Smash Brothers Melee and I cant seem to control my char too good....I always lose...Im not used to the controlers but Im like average....

[Raziel]

There couldn't have been any Final Fantasy characters in SSBM because Nintendo doesn't hold the rights to them.

[GameCube]

yea, true. they need permisson. like fox. he was made by rareware, not nintendo.

[Raziel]

I'm actually not quite sure whether or not they needed permission to use Donkey Kong also. The version of DK that they have been using for EVERYTHING for the last six years hs been based off the Donkey Kong Country model that Rare developed. I don't know if that means Rare owns the rights to the design or if Nintendo does.

[GameCube]

originally, DK was owned by nintendo but i think they gave Rare rights to make DK games. yea, the DK in SSB, Mario Kart and Melee was based on the DK fron Donkey Kong Country.

[Raziel]

Yeah, I've always been pretty sure that Rare owned the DK model from DKC, I just don't have any proof.

[GameCube]

have u tried their web site?

[Raziel]

No, but if the desperate need to find out overwhelms me, I'll go look.

[GameCube]

its fun to read the letters that rare gets.
