Tetromino For Smash 4! Now with Series Icon!

[SuperBrawler]

​

ABOUT​

The Tetrominoes are from the popular game, Tetris, it was released on June 6, 1984, a random sequence of Tetrominoes fall down the playing field, you have to move and rotate them and create a horizontal line of ten blocks without gaps, then the line disappears, and if the Tetrominoes stack up to the top you lose.​

​

NINTENDO APPEARANCES​

Tetris was on the Gameboy, NES, and DS.​

​

STAGE​

A Tetris Stage might look like this:

Except I imagine the Tetrominoes falling more frequently and I think they should fall faster, and instead of getting stuck the Tetrominoes would give you huge knockback.

MOVESETS​

If you make a moveset, I will add it.​

​

[collapse=Staff of Smashing's Moveset] N: A Tetris block will move 2 stage builder blocks up and smash down. A reference to how Tetris Blocks fall. 11%, KO's Bowser at 170%

S: A completely vertical block blocks all incoming damage from the front. A blocking move and reflects some projectiles.

D: A 3x1 with an extra block in the top middle spins. A hazard that has no knockback, but delivers a decent amount of tacking damage. 17% max.

U: Tetris Blocks Stack up in the specified direction. Does 14% and KO's Bowser at 150%
[/collapse]

ICONS​

If you make sigs or roster maker icons I will add them.​

I have some ideas for specials.

N: A Tetris block will move 2 stage builder blocks up and smash down. A reference to how Tetris Blocks fall. 11%, KO's Bowser at 170%

S: A completely vertical block blocks all incoming damage from the front. A blocking move and reflects some projectiles.

I may update this, but this is it for now.

Thank you! I'll add it to the OP.

Best character ever.....

 

[Altais]

Ah, Tetris...even after all these years, I am still addicted to this game.

Anyhow, though I doubt we would get a playable character for the franchise, it would be cool to see Tetris more represented in Smash 4 than it was in Brawl; maybe we could get a stage. I would also love to see Tetris Blast represented somehow.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Tetris stage is something that NEEDS to happen.

 

[SuperBrawler]

A Tetris stage would be AWESOME. Stage Hazard=Falling Tetrominoes.

 

[DonkaFjord]

I am so glad you called them tetraminos. In all seriousness I'd prefer Lip from Panel de Pon to be the puzzle game rep. Especially with the awkward legal issues with tetris.

 

[FalKoopa]

This thread is venturing a bit too far into the impossible character territory, and also the joke character territory. I'm not sure if this thread should be kept open.

 

[Speculator]

Tetris is definitely stage material. There didn't seem to be much trouble for them to get the rights to Tetris music for use in Brawl, so they should be able to get a hold of the visual elements too. I wonder if they would take the NES or Game Boy route?

Well, the King Harkinian thread didn't seem to be too much of a concern

Because recently the tetris company sued someone and won a seize and detest or whatever. But that company claimed the rights of tetris- which means the law sees the tetris company as the true holder of the tetris copyright (There were 5 or 6 companies that claimed ownership of tetris due to an interesting history- look it up if you want more info.) It's really complicated (Basically the group that made tetris split up and sold the game to several companies thinking they each individually had a right to what they made.)

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I don't see Tetris blocks working as playable characters. Maybe they'd be more suited as a stage instead.

 

[8-peacock-8]

Tetris is the greatest legal nightmare in gaming history. But yeah.....Tetris stage is something that needs to happen.

 

[DonkaFjord]

I would say stage, assist trophy, or making an appearance in a moveset.

 

[APC99]

Support! Love me some Tetris, I'd absolutely adore a Tetris character or stage... Although it would be too much of a hassle for Sakurai and probably be considered a third-party character... which would not be an option. If it was first-party, then YES. If not, no. So I'm a supporter. And this isn't a joke thread, Tetris has more history with Nintendo than most retro characters...

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

Although I think a Tetris stage would be more likely and an all-in-all better option, I would have little objection if a Tetris block became a character. Seriously, Tetris is an iconic classic game plus it would be the ultimate WTF character . I used to love Tetris when I was little, so you might as well add me to the supporters haha..

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

I'm not sure what this means for the legal side of things, but the main Tetris theme is an old Russian folk song that's completely uncopyrighted, because it's like 200 years old. I don't know if Nintendo still had to get permission from the Tetris Company to use their version, though, but keep in mind the music they had in Brawl might not have been as much of a legal hassle as a stage. Anyone know the exact rules on this?

 

[Good Guy Giygas]

Oh btw, I made these signature icons. I'm not sure if they're any good or which one you'd want to use, but here they are anyway:

Thanks! Adding to the OP.

Also, I'll post what the Stage might look like later.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Edited the OP, added a video for the stage, the videos not mine, I found it on YouTube, also updated the supporters list and added Good Guy Giygas' Sigs.

Yeah its a russian folk song, but even then the music also came from nintendo's versions of tetris so they own the music. The visuals and gameplay? That is up in the air.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Mallo (from Pushmo and Crashmo) could be using as some sort of special move.

I'd personally prefer lip over Mallo but yeah I could see them both pulling a bit from other puzzle games.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Oh yeah I forget there was Lip.

 

[APC99]

So the puzzle contenders are Lip, Mallo or a Tetris Block? Are we forgetting the prodigal return of...

Dr.Mario? Haha anyone else? I guess yoshi and pokemon also can be puzzle related...but that isn't their main game.

Stupid pic didn't work... Yeah, i'm talking about the pill-pushing plumber who got an overnight doctorate.

We don't need Dr. Mario sweetie.

 

[APC99]

We don't need Dr. Mario sweetie.

BUT MOMMMMMMMMM, I WANT HIM BADLY! I WANT HIM I WANT HIM I WANT HIM!

That was my bratty 5-year old me impression. Thoughts?

 

[DonkaFjord]

We don't need Dr. Mario sweetie.

Wasn't he only added because someone sent him fan mail saying it would be funny and that the team wanted to add his music? (Also them wanting to make clones to buff the roster size.)

 

[SuperBrawler]

Forgot to put myself on the support list XD. I'll have Mario and Sonic Guy put in on the list later.

 

[Starcutter]

from tetris?

...isn't that what you get when you cut yourself with something rusty?

 

[SuperBrawler]

I was going to make a roster maker icon, but I don't have access to a computer right now.

 

[Zigzagar]

That would be good for a surprise character. For the final smash how about make the blocks fall.

 

[SuperBrawler]

I forgot to ask M&SG to add this thread to the Character Discussion Guidelines and Listings thread, anyway he has added it now.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Sorry for double post, but I updated the OP with Roster Maker Icons courtesy of Gibdo Knight.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Turns out jaytalks made us a sig, but I didn't notice.

 

[APC99]

Bump.

Every video game needs a Soviet Union-esque villain.

I appreciate the bump. I couldn't.

Aw, no problem. Besides, having Tetronimo would be great: If some Hitler Miis arrive in a fight, I'll kill them...



...with irony!

oh lord, the Soviet Russia jokes overfloweth my head, most involving Wario and Waluigi in some form, but I'll be mature here.
