Why create a Super Smash Bros Brawl character? Because you can. And if you're going to do that, you might as well make it the most overpowered character ever.
The Brawl hacking community has done just that with this new character, Wisp. Why Wisp? Why not? Here's what the creator of this character says on the topic:
Well, (s)he's a conglomerate of all things wisp-like. It's the Wisp from the Mana series, the Plasma Wisp from the Kirby series, even the Wisp unit from Warcraft III. Not to mention it also can be the wisp from just folklore in general.
It can change forms, too. Fire, Ice, Light, and Dark. Nifty, I guess, though I'm not a fan of changing games from their original form. I don't even do DLC costume changes. Still, this one is neat...and pretty. If you've got about nine minutes to spare, you can watch Wisp in action in a moveset demonstration after the jump. I'm not the best Brawl player, but doesn't this guy seem kind of strong?

I wish the community would just pick like 5 characters and do them right. (comeoooon megaman)
I will never cease to be amazed at the amount of free time people have to do weird projects like this.
also, what gladseck and koehler said.
It's still pretty cool that they tweaked something to this level. I'd love to see them try balancing the character to fit the game.
Second: I'd like to see any of you do better. Making actual characters in PSA at this point is very difficult, and compiling together particle effects is really the closest anyone has ever gotten to to making a new model. If you think this took ZOMG NO EFFORT, then let's see you make better.
Honestly, the amount of ignorance on destructoid when it comes to hacking is simply stunning.
More specifically, Kohler, rockvillain, and glanseck:
You cannot hack. You will never hack. You don't know jack shit about hacking. Stop pretending you know how to hack. Stop pretending you know shit you don't. Because you don't.
Everyone saying he's overpowered:
Play the damn character first.
I swear to god, Destructiod is becoming more like /v/ each day.
It's for fun. Y'know, the entire reason why people play video games in the first place. Besides, this is technically the first entirely original hacked SSBB character ever, so it's obviously not going to be megaman.
But I don't feel like it.
1. Oh crap Navi's mad from the navi abuse from the internet.
2. Damn that up-b looked like it was a final smash..
