Square-Enix wise, there's a lot of neat choices. Terra would be great, no doubt. I like Warrior of Light as well, since it could combine aspects of the various FFI classes. Slime of course has tons of potential, and while Geno is cool, I actually would prefer a non-Mario character in this case. Perhaps an AT or a regular Trophy if Square-Enix gets involved. I'd like to see Super Mario RPG trophies as is.
Shadow?Since I'm bored I decided to make a potential moveset for Terra:
- Pretty much all her basic attacks are simple sword slashes or kicks.
- Neutral B-Fire; Terra shoots a fire ball forward. It generates a small explosion after hitting the target.
- Side B-Blizzara; A burst of ice is fired forward. Has the potential to freeze the target.
- Down B-Thundaga; Twin bolts of lightning crash down on each side of Terra.
- Up B-Teleport; Terra vanishes and reappears a short distance away in the direction the analog stick is held.
- Up Smash-Tornado; A powerful gust of wind sucks up nearby enemies and damages them for a few moments before hurling them into the air. Height, suction distance/force, and damage dealt depend on how long it's charged.
- Down Smash-Quake; The earth erupts around Terra. Knocks back and temporarily stuns nearby enemies. Stun time depends on how long it's charged.
- Side Smash-Flood; A torrent of water is called forth. It doesn't deal damage but it crashes forward and can push enemies off the edge if they're too close. Travel distance depends on how long it's charged.
- Grab-Gravija; Summons an orb of dark energy directly in front of Terra that pins opponents in place. Deals continuous damage until hold is broken.
- Final Smash-Can't decide between Holy, Meteor, Meltdown, and Ultima.

Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.I've updated my roster now, 44 characters with the Brawl cast (sans Ike, Wolf, Lucario, Snake, and Lucas), plus the confirmed newbies, along with my predicted additions of: Little Mac, Takamaru, Pac-Man, Mii, Zoroark, Shulk, Chrom, Robin, and Bayonetta.
Only change is that Isaac and Starfy were replaced by Takamaru and Rosalina
While I agree that the best spells are cool, I simply can't see Terra not displaying Trance or Riot Blade. As an example, Dissidia Final Fantasy made Trance her EX Mode, and Riot Blade her EX Burst.
Holy, Flare, Meltdown, and Ultima were all spells in her moveset as well.
I have a message from another time...So I return and am greeted with a Ridley Discussiontm. Joy! I have returned! Fortunately, I did get to check the Smash site for the reveal and read at least four pages of the Smash Thread because the place I was staying at was next to a fish and chip store that had Wifi.
So Dedede, yeah. I knew it. I actually found out a day late because I realised the release of Triple Deluxe was Saturday and Sakurai doesn't update on Weekends. I knew he was a shoo-in but it's good to see him back. Those facial expressions are awesome too. His model's a bit dodgy though (What the heck is with the edges of his coat? That's awful!
◊).
So let's check my predictions
and see how I went:
- "It's gonna be Dedede and not Meta Knight." - CORRECT!
- "At least one screenshot with Dedede will show off a new Kirby stage." -I was actually surprised by this. It would have been a cool time to reveal one. I mean, we haven't even seen a Kirby stage at all yet. INCORRECT!
- "The background colour on his page will be either Baby Blue, Light Yellow, or Red. Oh screw it, I'll pick Red. Runner up: Yellow." - Well I was wrong about Red being the most likely option, so looks like Mario continues to be forever alone in that department. But I did say the runner up would be Pale Yellow, so I get a half point for that. Lucky too, I actually thought Pale Yellow was the least likely and was going to choose baby Blue first and Red be my runner-up. Half-Correct.
So overall, I got 1.5/3 for my predictions. Not bad. Not bad.
Lastly, that's another one down on my Bingo Card.
There's so much more personality on display with Smash For Dedede.
Wow, that's heaps better. I didn't even really pay attention to facial expressions to Brawl. I hope they do a lot more of this kind of thing.
Mwhahahahahhahaahah! Did I lie?
Of course his model is a bit dodgy, the game is still in development.
Anyway, something I realized, since Namco is pitching in in the development...do you think we could see any Katamari Damacy representation? (I know, I know, they've never had any games on any Nintendo console, but...well, just let me get my hopes up, alright?)
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

It is a D Siware title called Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy but it was Japan only.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureHm. I thought there was one from before the D Si, but I guess not.

Maybe an Assist Trophy. That'd be fun. But who knows Namco-Bandai will put in.
To be honest, I don't know if we'll see much of anything from them, besides maybe some of the characters have a move based upon one of Namco-Bandai's franchises. I.E. A move that Nightmare is known for in Soul Calibur, stuff like that. I could see small shout outs as Developer Gags.
I think we'll see something, like background stage cameos. Assist Trophy maybe. The thing is, if Namco-Bandai doesn't get a character, they might not even get any kind of tiny cameo at all(developer gag aside).
Shadow?What, you mean like as a clone of Zelda Classic?

Seconded.
Considering he didn't even declone Toon Link there's no way in hell he wouldn't make Toon Zelda/Toon Sheik clones.
Don't want them. Don't need them. Sheik was never in a Toon game, so that would make her being in for the sake of being a clone. If the roster is not gonna much larger than Brawl's they will be a waste of space.
I'm also against Tetra. Because if any pirate girl should be playable in Smash it's Captain Syrup. Wario deserves a second rep, and Warioware got like 98% of the Wario game repping in Brawl. All Wario Land got was the Shoulder Barge as a smash attack, and maybe some stickers.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8yAjWvAqyMAnd Wario's base costumes too, to be fair. I think Sakurai did state he disliked Wario Land. :/
Anyway, Syrup is the only Pirate I find a good choice. Space Pirates like Ridley excluded.
We got enough Zelda characters right now. Yes, Brawl nearly had two more(in one character slot) who were most likely clones of Zelda and Sheik planned at one point, but I'd rather actual ones for a 5 select screen slot like Impa, Tingle, or Vaati. In no particular order.(I'd say Skull Kid too, but yeah)
BIAS!
It was in Super Mario Land 2 first, to be fair.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8yAjWvAqyMWhat, a creator being biased? God forbid.
No, but seriously, I agree but we can't change what it is. :/
And no, I mean that his specific costumes from Wario Land also appear in Brawl. The thing is, his base costumes are from Wario Ware specifically. The other was a bonus, and probably throwing Wario Land players a bone.

Shadow?I think the reason that Wario of all the characters was the only one to get an alt was because he has two series that are equally main to him instead of one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8yAjWvAqyMProbably.
The way the game is implies Ware is favored over Land, at least.
Which is silly, though. I think they deserve equal representation. I hope we get a Wario Land stage as well. I didn't like the Wario Ware stage much but it was fun in casual play at least. It was silly in the same sense as the series it originates from.
Shadow?I think you meant alts. Base would mean the default.
If Tingle is playable, I hope they make him Toon-style like Toon Link. His other designs are deep in the Uncanny Valley.
edited 13th Jan '14 9:55:47 PM by MagcargoMan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8yAjWvAqyMWario Ware is his default costume. Wario Land is his alt.
I'd like Tingle's design based upon Rupeeland as much as possible if any. I think that was more Toon-like. However, I would be okay with no Trophies from that game. Tingle is one thing, he looks fine to a degree. But the characters... ._.
Shadow?
Tingle's Rupeeland design in 3D would be incredibly creepy. No thanks.
I said: "All Wario Land got was the Shoulder Barge as a smash attack, and maybe some stickers."
You said: "And Wario's base costumes too, to be fair."
The way it comes right after that makes it sound like you are adding on to the last bit of mine.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8yAjWvAqyMAs in, Wario's original costume from Wario Land was also added. Worded poorly.
And seeing as how I would prefer Tingle to rep his own series, well... yeah. He has a new game coming out, from what I remember. Either design is fine, it's just the other characters that look horrid to me. ._. I mean, there's a reason I don't look at that page. To put it another way; Elise and Eggman from 06 don't honestly look that bad. The two major good guys besides Tingle, however... they look like crossdressing men. Except, not the ones that actually look like they can pull it off. They're creepy.
Shadow?

But Capcom owns Beat!
