Who knows, maybe Dark Samus may get the Little Mac treatment and be upgraded to playable in Smash 5 whenever that comes about.

I just want them to add playable characters from lots of new series...the only existing series I consider perhaps under-repped at this point is Fire Emblem.

So I was here thinking about what if Sceptile would be an playable character, and here are some things in mind.

  • Normal A: Sceptile does multiple hits with its hand
  • Forwards A: Sceptile does a short swipe with its leaves.
  • Up A: Sceptile swipes the air
  • Down A: Sceptile does a sweeping kick
  • Dashing A: Sceptile does a running swipe with its leaves.
  • Air A: Sceptile does a quick jab with its arm
  • Forwards Air A: Sceptile does a swipe with its leaves
  • Back Air A: Sceptile kicks backwards
  • Up Air A: Scpetile swipes with its leaves above itself
  • Down Air A: Scpetile spins around, hitting the opponent with its tail.
  • Forwards Smash: Sceptile focuses and does a dual slash with its leaves
  • Up Smash: Scpetile focuses ad does a dual slash with its leaves over tis head
  • Down Smash: Sceptile focuses and spins on the floor, hitting the opponent with its tail.
  • Grab: Sceptile grabs onto the opponent with both hands. Puller has it using Absorb on the opponent.
  • Neutral B: Leaf Blade: Scpetile's leaves glow green as Scpetile does rapid slashes with them. Has a chance of doing more damage at random.
  • Side B: Night Slash: Sceptile disappears for a moment as it does a lightning fast slash forwards. Can be used as an horizontal recovery
  • Up B: X-Scissor: Sceptile leaps into the air as it does a dual slash with its leaves. Used as a vertical recovery.
  • Down B: Slam: Sceptile does a short hop as it spins around and slams its tail into the ground. In the air, Scpetile just does the spin and slam down.
  • Final Smash: Frenzy Plant: Sceptile plants its hands into the ground as spiky vines sprout from the ground. At this state, you can control where the vines will travel and pressing a button will cause the vines to sprout out, hitting the opponents.

As much as it hurts me to say this, I don't see them adding nor Sceptile, nor any grass pokémon.

I'm not one myself, but there seems to be more Greninja fans (and of course charizard is pretty much the fan favorite) than there is for any grass starters especially nowadays.

... Trought I agree, if they chose to add more pokémon, I would gladly take a grass type, and Sceptile seems fun to play as.

If you think he has a chance to make it in, then I will glady take him over any other pokémon character revealed .

If they added Grovyle, it would be a representative from a spin-off franchise, since Mystery Dungeon of Space/Time/Sky had one as a rather important plot character. That and Grovyle's design is a thousand times cooler than Sceptile's.

Grass Pokemon would be at a big disadvantage in Super Smash Bros because there are a lot of fire hazards and barely any water hazards. The water moves in Brawl weren’t even damaging and any Water Pokemon would swim way better than any Grass. As such I couldn’t guess what kind of strength a Grass Pokemon could even have in a game like this…

Well, we had Ivysaur as a baseline for that. Plus, they really don't need to add the type-based damage mechanic again; it was only for PT's Pokémon anyway.

Its not like they need to, its just that it feels incomplete without having all three of them.

Serperior could be interesting.

And before you ask, he'd use her mouth, or the tip of his tail.

Serperior would be way more interesting than Sceptile. :/

Come on guys... non-humanoid! Grass type from an unrepresented gen!

Also, regarding number of Pokemon Reps: considering how popular the games are, it getting 7 reps (current four, + Jigglypuff, Mewtwo and Grass Starter) wouldn't be out of the question, in my eyes.

To compare it to the Mario (+ Spin-Off) characters:

  • Smash 64: 2 Mario (+ 2 (4) Spin-Off) & 2 Pokemon
  • Melee: 5 Mario (+ 2 (7) Spin-Off) & 4 Pokemon
  • Brawl: 4 Mario (+ 4 (8) Spin-Off) & 6 Pokemon
  • For: 5 Mario (+ 4 (9) Spin-Off, if Wario returns) & 7 Pokemon

I think that Mario and its spin-offs combined having 2 (or more) more than Pokemon is pretty balanced, overall.

[up]Gen 3 has also never had a representative and given how they're probably going to work on remakes soon I still say Sceptile is more likely.

I'm really starting to think that the Smash series is getting too humanocentric. If not actually human then more often things shaped like humans.

Serperior likely won't be playable, since Snivy seems to be a Pokeball Pokemon.

"Getting?" It's always been like that.

Pretty much the sole exception was Ivysaur, really.

I'm not exactly sure how many Nintendo protagonists or major villains don't have humanlike shapes, anyways.

I'm pretty sure most major characters in Nintendo are humanoid with the exception of some characters in Pokemon and Kirby.

Wasn't Wartortle a Pokéball Pokémon in Brawl, where Squirtle was playable?

On transforming mid-match, I didn't do that too much with Zelda/Shiek, but I always play PT as making a balance on which Pokemon I had out, it really is better to play them as a team instead of a burden of needing to Pokemon Change for when you change/get KO'd, Stamina or no.

Plus, it's always amazing to time Pokemon Change just right that you can avoid Light Arrow/Critical Hit. tongue

Problem with those transformations is that it's not always safe to make them, especially with PT since the time for their change varies.

Well obviously.

Up until the move's recovery ends up giving the game enough time to spawn one right on top of him, anyway.
