********justice has posted a blog like this, but i believe mine is a little more elaborate. i'm not trying to copy him, so please don't think i am :)********
***seems like third party characters aren't going to show up as much as hoped. even sonic was seems
out of the question.
what are you most excited about the new super smash bros?
are there any characters you feel justly deserve a position in SSBB? (yes i know, i'm sure this has been talked about before, but oh well :D)
for me, i'm most excited about the online, and all the new characters.
i'm definitely hoping for Viewtiful Joe in it too. although VJ was a sleeper hit that never really got a whole lot of attention, Joe as a character could work well. he even looks like he fits in with his anime style disproportioned head to body size ratio. his moveset could mimic that of captain falcons:
B: viewtiful forever. the move joe does as he dodges, if an enemy attacks joe and the user presses B, he dodges and deals the enemy damage (kind of like peach in SSBM)
^B: viewtiful rising, the corkscrew in midair joe does zoomed in
>B: red hot dragon punch, the move that he uses in VJ: red hot rumble. you hold b to charge, and the more you charge, the longer the fire dragon will go.
if not that, then he could use the six cannon from VJ 2. just like the dragon punch, the more you charge, the farther it goes.
vB: red hot kick. 'nuff said.
and for his final smash, he could slow down everyone else and use mach speed to attack all the enemies on screen for good damage
Ganon in Melee was similar to Falcon, who wants three similar characters?
How can Joe dodging a move damage someone?
But I see how you've implemented his other abilities well so now I think he could work as a playable character.
have you played viewtiful joe? if not, then you have to. it's like ten bucks at gamestop or EB, go get it. you'll then see.
but then again, i am a die hard fan, so i guess you would have to play for yourself.
King K. Rool
Diddy (why the hell wasn't he in melee anyways?)
King Dedede
Captain Olimar
Blathers from Animal Crossing (Owls rule, I dunno)
and for non-first party characters:
Nissan Fairlady Z from Forza 2. Seems popular enough in forza as it is, might as well put it in SSBB.
i feel for you man. i haven't been able to sit down and game for a while because of my lack of games (due to monetary reasons) and time. it sucks.
but i don't believe you have it as bad as this dude.
M$ is slipping..
