Welcome to Gaia! ::

yup, this news is on the Super Smash Bros. Melee thread already, and yes, yes it does look freakin sweet

i know it's on the ssbm thread cause i put it there.

thusly we can expect the Smash Bros roster to only increase. maybe there'll be a feature to create your own smasher for Smash bros? that would be cool. ^_^ and with downloadable smashers, that would only enhance the usage of the Wiiconnect24 service with allowing people to play online with new characters they download onto their Wii. ^_^ I like the custom Smasher idea I thought of though. ^_^

well I mean for those of us who have the creativity to make our own smashers. I'd make myself a rather powerful character. fireballs and kunai/shuriken for long range attacks, a golden ninja katana for a melee weapon, a sick looking grappleing claw, cool ninja armor with a awesome headband, long flowing hair, and a comeback attack that would envelop my brawler in flames and go further. I'd pretty much show no mercy with my own custom brawler. ^_^ maybe there'll be a custom fighter maker to introcude more third party support. like if there's parts for Megaman, you could make Cutman or Gutsman, or even Protoman in the MegamanX look. I can imagine Create a Brawler FAQs poping up here and there saying what you need for custom brawler creation, but it'll be for the sake of creativity.

though I am guilty of making an anime character or two in a game not their license. I made Gendo Ikari from Neon Genesis Evangelion in Day of Reckoning 2 for Gamecube(mainly as a punching bag for my custom wrestler), and I've made Naruto Uzumaki from NARUTO. and yes I've even made Darth Vader(without a cape) in DoR2. okay I also made Tifa from FF7, but it was in the sake of finding inspiration. work with what you got right? I made role play characters and such out of thoughts in my head. so yeah people would use the custom fighter creator to make other characters but so what? it isnt plagerizing if you're not making a profit. you make no money off of someonelses creation and you have no grounds to be sued upon.

well there'd be a kind of story mode that would work like Def Jam Fight For NY. you aquire stars or Smash logos to up your stats by one variable each time and you can unlock new outfits. make it so the game doesnt work with a cheating device and create a perfect powered opponent from the go like Gigga Bowser, Master Hand, and Crazy Hand, or a variant on the Hands but with a mechanichal body or the Nintendo Robot with Master and Crazy Hand as it's hands?

stats I can see would be:

Strike: your ATK stat(effected by your equipment)
Weight: how heavy you are(effected by your equipment)
Shield: the durability of your shield(not very useful but hey)
Jump: how high you can jump(effected by your equipment)
Speed: how quickly you move(not effected by equipment)

and there would have to be moves.

moves like that.

it's an awesome idea man. granted there would have to be a coding that says no two custom smashers cant share the same name if they're different and played online. but it would still rule to make a custom fighter. I'd hit that up for sure. and I'd win.

clothing would add weight to a character, as an equiped item would add extra ATK like a whip, or Ivy's Snakesword, or a normal sword, even an axe. using Smash icons won from each trophy of the normal pre-made brawlers, you can add a base ATK or speed. though base weight is defined by your body type and height. bigger bodies mean heavier weight, and some levels should snap at certain points from being unable to support a heavy character, and maybe bounce a much lighter character into the air. or maybe even a level editor to make your own custom arena. that'd be fun to make an arena that you can rake in 999% damage in before they go flying out of the arena. ^_^

I think there only reavealing sertan things. I beat there are more arenas and more new charecters. Maybe more challenges and stuff.

I really REALLY want to see Captain Falcon. He's the coolest. cool
