Smoke Wrote:My list of dream characters for SSB:
Simon Belmont/Alucard
Sonic/Shadow/Knuckles
Megaman/Megaman X/Zero
Paper Mario
WW Link/Shadow Link
Little Mac
Eggplant Wizard
And Finally:
Alucard would be cool too, or Soma, since he's the reincarnation of Dracula in human form with all his darkness stuck in the castle itself. He's a pretty cool character.
Sonic more than the other two by far.
I say original Megaman with perhaps upgrading to X as a "super".
Paper Mario is actually a pretty creative idea there. I like it.
Dark or Shadow Link has always been a total copy of Link with insane moves, and has never had his own moves. In other words, a costume change that makes Link exactly as those shadows appeared in that one challenge in Melee is sufficient. In fact, I'm a little upset they didn't already do that. I'm fine with an "unfair" balance of alternate costumes on characters.
Wind Waker Link could be an alternate costume for Young Link. As far as the Wind Waker specific items, those could be general additions to Link. WW Link wasn't particularly different than other incarnations of him, at least not enough to be his own character, then again the same case could be made for Young Link.
Little Mac is one I'd love, but of course they would need to be creative to really flush out a full list of abilities. I'm thinking basically Mac learned a few things from his battles in Punchout and Super Punchout and can use a number of the more impressive moves of his enemies.
I might also be as brazen as to suggest an opponent from the game. Glass Joe might be the "joke weak" character in this game :D, or maybe Mr. Dream (since Tyson is out of the question), or a surprisingly popular character, King Hippo.
Eggplant Wizard eh? Annoying, though minor fellow from Kid Icarus. Eh, why not? It's either that or Medusa (or "god" or whoever it was in those rooms giving you bonuses and throwing death at you). But, there's the small issue of the Ice Climbers :D. Basically, they really need their "logo" changed. The eggplant really wasn't definitive at all. Sure they collected that in level one's bonus level in the game, but if you keep playing you see the bonus level fruit changes every level and eventually cycles, so why not carrots? Clearly the better logo would either be two crossed hammers or a glacier.
And yes, exactly as I suggested. Terrible show, and I have no idea why, but Captain N would be a great addition to the lineup! The zapper, the "pressing up to jump and showing that the makers never played a video game if they thought up was jump in ANY NES game", and maybe his super is riding that Gameboy around and blasting people in all manner of ways. And his moves could include, JACKET SWIPE, behold the power of a 1980's jacket and TREMBLE!
