When will the front post be updated with the movesets, supporter list, recolours, and signature?

I'm not too sure yet. Thing is that I have two research papers due for the end of the semester, each having to be 8-10 pages. So once those are dealt with, hopefully I will have time to get back to this.

Really the only reason I made this without much in the post was so the thread could be MINE. I was being threatened that it would be stolen from me.

TOO BAD. IT'S ALL MINE NOW.

But really. Once everything I have to finish is indeed finished, I will take care of it.

AH **** it. I added some pictures and Frostwraith's colors to the OP. I will continue to update when I can.

Also, a quick tidbit. I have Injustice on my Wii U. It's ******* awesome. If anyone has a Wii U, Injustice, and would like to play or friend me online, let me know.

Good ol' Magikarp. My second choice for a Fish Pokemon in Smash. But only because Qwilfish is a badass.

Having a fisherman in the background would be pretty cool, as well. This shall be this thread's theme song, because RandomEncounters is awesome.

Magikarp needs a new evolution. Gyarados doesn't exactly exude the same kind of badassery as him

How about something liek this?

It's not broken for me, but the link for it does look odd

How about this:

Epic. For some reason I imagine that Pokemon as being the size of a worm. Can't envision it as being the same size as Gyarados.

Can he do anything other than splash? (Not that he would need it).

New idea: Make a fisherman that works like the Pokemon Trainer. He can swap between 6 Magikarp. That's 6 times the Karp. They'd all play exactly identically, but that's okay. Enemies will be overwhelmed by numbers.

This is what happens when you press B right at the last second when Magikarp is evolving.

That reminds me of a dream I once had where I was playing Pokemon Snap and I found a dying Goldeen that had half-way evolved into a Seaking washed up on the beach. When I tried photographing it it's name came up as some glitched text. Before that I turned around to see I was being followed by a Cubone and afterwards I was attacked by a herd of Pokemon led by a mutated Paras which was white, don't know who the other Pokemon were. Cool dream and an even cooler story. Hopefully 'dying Goldeen/Seaking abomination' can be an alt costume for Magikarp.

Last one should be a Gyarados as a joke.

Also, you CANNOT switch manually; only when KO'd. :troll:

Sad thing is, I can envision Magikarp working as the ultimate gag character....

Hmmm...

I can envision all of the dramatic and important roles magikarp will play in the SSE. Easily the badass of the group.

Snake: C-Colonel! I've come across some sort of cave demon!
Campbell: That's just a Magikarp, Snake. Leave it alone. You've got a more pressing task at hand.
Snake: I-I don't think I've encountered anything like this before. That dorsal fin looks like it could puncture flesh to the bone.
Campbell: I suppose if you let it. But really, Snake, this is serious. Get on with the real fight.
Snake: Agh! But it's Splashing so frantically! I can't even get near it!
Campbell: Have you forgotten about your projectiles? Toss a grenade at it.
Snake: It won't do any good! Those rock-hard scales could probably take a missile without giving in.
Campbell: Its Defense stat is only a measly 55!
Snake: Ugh! Agh! It's Splashing water on me! How do I stop it?!
Campbell: What? Snake, what's going on?! What's the problem with a little bit of -
Snake: LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!!

Here is a GIF from the anime showing exactly how powerful Magikarp is. LOOK AT THAT POTENTIAL! He would easily surpass Pikachu on the SSB4 tier list, as shown here.

My... Splash is SOOO powerful, it will definitely be the most broken move in the game. :troll:

Might sounds like a stupid question, but how do I get things to collapse in my message, or add a moveset by quoting the person who made it? I'm a noob at making threads so...

the format is [collapse=Username or whatever]....Post moveset here....[/collapse]

the result is this:
[collapse=Username or whatever]....Post moveset here....[/collapse]

I can imagine Magikarp facing against Goku. If Goku lost, Vegeta yells "Magikarp's power is over 9000!"
