Link's TRUE Archenemy - Cucco for smash! DECONFIRMED!!

[Starcutter]

They should add one of the most iconic zelda characters. Link has yet to kill this character, yet many people have fallen to this character and his army.


CUCCO SUPPORT THREAD

About Cucco
Cucco is a Non-Playable chicken-like character in the zelda series. since it's original appearance in a Link to the Past, Cuccos have been in 14 different zelda games, including A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, Four Swords Adventures, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and A Link Between Worlds. in the games they can either help link, by helping him glide across a pit or waking someone up with their cawing, or they can hurt link. cuccos are famous for "the Cucco Revenge Squad" where if link hits a Cucco too many times Cuccos come from everywhere, most likely defeating link. there is only ONE zelda game where cuccos can be killed. some variants of the Cucco exsist, such as Corjiro (a Blue Cucco) or the Golden Cucco.

Movesets
legendofrob1's moveset

Spoiler

Cucco is about Pichu's size in melee. If you haven't played melee, a bit smaller than pikachu. Cucco has great traction on the ground, one of the best in the game. movement speed average on the ground. Cucco would have great air mobility, one that rivals even Jigglypuff. up to 5 different jumps, excluding the up B.

Cucco has a unique trait that if he runs into someone (while dashing) they will take 2% damage and flinch, similar to the properties of falco's blaster. this doesn't happen if Cucco is walking.


SPECIALS
Up - Cucco flaps very frantically. it gains a little altitude, then the rest of the decent is slowed dramatically.
Side - Cucco sends itself flying to the side, similar to Wing Kirby's Condor heading from Kirby superstar.
Neutral - Cucco shoots feathers from it's wing, like wing Kirby in Kirby Superstar.
Down - Caws loudly, everyone around is stunned. similar to Mewtwo's Down B, exept that if the opponent is hit in the air, it will cause medium knockback out from Cucco.

Music
Cucco's Theme

(it's from Cucco Rush - a minigame in A Link Between Worlds)

Cuccos as a stage hazard or assist trophy make sense to me. The hazard would just be a cucco running around on some Zelda stage and if it takes enough hits it will become hostile and attack with a flock of cuccos. Same thing for the AT too, gotta trick your opponent into attacking it before it leaves.

if he was an assist trophy then maybe he could be a mix between the Excitebike assist from brawl and the Beedrill pokeball form smash 64

I give my support to Cucco! Would be such a truly amazing character! More amazing than Palutena, Little Mac, King K. Rool, Ridley, and Mewtwo all combined.

Cucco for next Jigglypuff

I was going to post a particular M.U.G.E.N. video showing Rare Akuma getting mobbed by cuccos, but I can't find it anymore. For those who know anything about it, pretent I posted that here.

This good enough?

 

[Xhampi]

Finally a Zelda character I can care about !

 

[Cpt.]

AHHHHH No way!!!

Cucoos are waaaaay to evil to be a playable character. People be hatin' on Ridley for being evil, but the real demons of Nintendo are these b@stards!

Cucoos should get the spot of final event match boss or something. Waaay to evil to be a playable character. Hey at least Ridley didn't kill everyone on Samus' planet right? *Shudder* I bet the Cucoos would have.......they would have even killed the Chozo despite looking like birds!

The sounds of Link dying from the cucoo menace still haunts me.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

I really love the minigame theme from A Link Between Worlds!

Cuccoos as an assist trophy could be really hilarous, yet dangerous. All this by doing a great nod the Zelda games!

 

[colder_than_ice]

Cucco is too broken to be a playable character, it would be banned from tournament play and would make the single player modes too easy.

 

[Starcutter]

Playstyle-wise, Cucco should play similar to jigglypuff. But with a slower decent in the air.

So that's a start on my moveset.

 

[Kamiko]

This good enough?

Well, it showcases the character, but the one I was looking for had what was considered possibly the most most overpowered of all the god tier characters. . . . completely helpless against this miniature menace. The impact was greater and more hilarious, plus the video was shorter if I recall correctly.

Well, I couldn't find it sorry :/

 

[Kamiko]

Well, I couldn't find it sorry :/

It's probably not on Youtube anymore. It was pretty old.

 

[Starcutter]

I hope you guys know I'm honestly planning on beefing up the OP to the extent people might really want Cucco.

 

[Glaciacott]

Wait, really ... why isn't this an Assist Trophy yet?

You can throw it at people
It can glide if you jump while holding it
If enough enemies hit it, angry Cuccoos fill the stage.

This is something I didn't know I needed until I saw this thread. You have my gratitude.

 

[McDuckletts]

First Stork, now this?!
Rob, you cray.

I didn't come up with the stork idea though. Wish I did, it's a zillion times better than this idea

Don't say that....they might hear you! *glances at odd corners of the room*

 

[SuperBrawler]

I see them as an item. If you hold them, it makes you fall very slowly. If you hit it a flock of Cuccos come and give you damage.

 

[Tepig2000]

You really like birds, huh? I support Cucco! He would be an awesome character. Too bad he is only a pipe dream...

 

[Starcutter]

You really like birds, huh?

Yes


Also thanks for your support I guess

 

[Starcutter]

No freaking way. Can't believe it.

 

[Smady]

Condolences to all the Cucco fans. This is a dark day for all of us.

Just kidding, this is great news for Cucco. This is sure to be one of the best new items.

 

[Glaciacott]

DUDE, I am sooo happy.

I really wanted a Cuccoo item after seeing this thread, and it happened. WOO!

 

[Sobreviviente]

I kinda wish ashley was playable now, this could have been the definitive "you fans are awesome" smash game.
Cuccos are generic though, we can still have cojiro the blue cucco

 

[UltimateWario]

According to Miiverse, Sakurai adding these means that he's copying McLeodGaming. I'm assuming that's a channel on YouTube?

Anyway, I am strangely hype for this item.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Let me just say for the third time on this forum that this item IS FREAKING AWESOME!

This is one item that I think I'll be able to thoroughly enjoy. It's also one of the few updates that has boosted my hype that isn't a character or stage reveal.

No, it's who makes the Super Smash Flash series.

 

[UltimateWario]

No, it's who makes the Super Smash Flash series.

Ah.

I guess next Sakurai's going to put in Naruto and Mr. Incredible.

 

[Cobalsh]

Ah.

I guess next Sakurai's going to put in Naruto and Mr. Incredible.

Don't forget Giant Jigglypuff.

 

[Deleted member]

Sorry to the people that wanted the Cucco to be playable.

I do love the detail on the Cucco and I am hoping that when you attack the Cucco, hundreds of other Cuccos would attack. It would provide for a hilarious and chaotic experience!

 

[Opossum]

Well, this thread had a good month, right?

That being said, I can't wait to test out the Cucco item.

 

[Delicious Tears]

Sakurai has missed the opportunity to create the greatest Smash Bros. character in history. Oh well!
