Just my thoughts on what the customizable options should be:

B: Guns: One short range, one mid range, and one long range. They aim like in the game.
  • Mega Burst Gun: Long lasting rounds for trapping.
  • Gatling Gun: High fire rate for screen control.
  • Dragon Gun: Good homing for pressure.
Side B: Bombs: can move the cursor up, down, left, and right. He can hurt himself.
  • Standard Bomb: medium speed, average arc, medium damage.
  • Submarine Bomb: slow, no arc, big damage.
  • Tomahawk Bomb: quick, high arc, comparatively less damage.
Down B: Pods: used for trapping and screen control and in the rare case recovery, Samus and Link style. He can hurt himself with them.
  • Spider Pod: homes in on nearby opponents on ground only. Three charges.
  • Satellite Pod: homes in on nearby opponents in the air only. Three charges.
  • Acrobat Pod: Simply for easy recovery in exchange for no screen control. One charge.
Up B: Air Dashes/Legs: depending on the leg you choose, your air dash Up B will be different. Gets 2 air dashes under normal circumstances.
  • Long Thrust: Longer air dashes.
  • Quick Thrust: Quicker air dashes.
  • Plus One Legs: gets an extra, normal air dash.
As for why Charges aren't a special, I'd make the normal Ray charge a forward smash, an anti air charge the up smash, and an in-place charge for down smash. They'd maybe have invincibility frames like in the games, but that might be OP.
This might be going in the update for this thread, well done.

Oh, right! S1LV3RH00D, I forgot to ask you, would mind using my post from page 3 (The post that basically "chronicles" the "history" of Ray throughout Custom Robo's releases, in other words, all of his appearances in the Custom Robo games.) and add it to the new OP, please?

Surely! Please give me a day or two, a lot of things are going on behind the scenes right now. I'm overloaded at the moment, but don't worry, I always deliver. Thanks for the heads up!

Sure, why the hell not.


Also, I support the **** out of this. Custom Robo is one of Nintendo's hidden gems, plus it has lots of customization. Perfect for Smash 4.

Great! We have 40 supporters and the video isn't even up yet. :p
Plus, I have a few sites going to promote it. Thanks for asking!

For the custom robo video he's making. I would totally like to see a teaser trailer!

A good start here's hoping we do get to see a revival of the series

It is slightly annoying that first one released here was also last to be released

Custom Robo is very underated series in Nintendo Library but man, I will hype is this guy is show. FIRST is a robot toy and very small(not like Olimar though...kinda) and just put him big as Mario or less. SECOND is genderless, WE need a genderless character in Smash. THIRD is moveset can bring lot of potencial. He can be exactly like Megaman, ranged Fighter and use many diferent weapons power. Ranged Fighter are underrated.

FOURTH. Is entrance would be a cube and transform to Ray. He ia a trophy since the melee days and Brawl was even a secret AT. Are chance are low but man.

I play the games and was very awsome. RAY III FTW.

Just wanted to update everyone, I have a lot of great footage and imagery for the video.
Everything is looking really nice so far, and is coming together fast.
I hope that all of you have enough faith in me, this is taking a lot.
I'm sacrificing my time, sleep, and sanity to make this perfect.
So basically, I hope this video is something we can be proud of. :colorful:

Ray is genderless? He looks pretty masculine to me, it's almost like saying Megaman is genderless. While technicly true that they are both genderless due to being robots, it's just they look too much like a male in some power armor. *shrug*
As for genderless characters in Smash, we have R.O.B. and G&W. Unless you want more than those 2 (and megaman) when it comes to generless characters.

On a side note I agree with the other stuff you said.

I would assume Ray is more masculine, while robos like the Milky Way series are more feminine. Some of the Robo's could go either way, but as fogbadge (is this a pokemon reference?) said, G&W, Megaman, and Rob all have features that make them look male, despite the fact we don't know for sure. Birdo is a prime example. (It's a dude!)

I'm not sure if Birdo is a good example either, since he's a male that looks like a girl (or as some people say, a trap) is one of his major traits (other is just being a dinosuar with a nose,mouth, eggspitting thing....). It's quite often that people that don't know that he's a male to think he's a female. Nintendo doesn't really seem to have any "important" genderless characters that actually look genderless. I'm extremely exhausted right now, so I'll look for a true genderless character later..... If anyone (including myself) even cares about it. :bubblebobble:


Sorry to double post, but here's the HD Teaser I quickly made the other day as a placeholder:
http://www.change.org/petitions/operation-robo-rebirth-petition-for-a-new-custom-robo

Now we have 11 days until the official video drops.
I always did love that intro.:bubblebobble:

Wait, isn't G&W technically called MR Game and Watch? That makes HIM a GUY.

But I digress, Ray is a Male to me. We have the Stunning Beauties and Little Sprinters, which are all obviously feminine and meant to look as such, just like Ray.

I've heard a few boy and girl rays from where I'm from. Funny how that works isn't it? Depends on where you live I suppose. :bubblebobble:
Raymond on the other hand, I've only heard for boys.
Thats because everybody loves RAYmond


BTW, Ray is a Male name in most cultures while Rea is female. Both pronounced the same though.

Oh gosh. I feel dumb about Mr game and watch. I always just call him Game and Watch so I never thing of the Mr part. I blame lack of sleep on that one. :bubblebobble:

Ah, that must be why I've heard both then. Though, this is the first time I've seen Rea written anywhere (but I have seen someone named Rhea in some anime I forgot about)
Why must names be so confusing.

Silver hood, I honestly believe you should get the Custom Robo campaign going and not give up on it.

If it worked for Project rainfall, it should be the same for rooting for a revival as well. It is honestly a complete disgrace for them to neglect a series like this, especially since Nintendo themselves could market and make potentially as much sales as Pokemon games with this series.

What's more sad is that the producer and people at noise knows of our voices; but it's not like they can do anything about it. Since Nintendo probably turned down their pitch for a potential CR game.

Here's to hoping something happens at least

I will keep it going, it's only going to get stronger in the coming weeks. I have some tricks up my sleeves. (and internet connections!) I will be discussing in the video what happened to the series and what would happen with sales if it was revived. I will also make a follow up video on what my vision of a good custom robo game would be. I will do everything in my power to bring back my favorite video game, and this is only the beginning.

There is a Ray support thread? How did I not know about this? He is one of my most requested characters. I think he might be one of the characters with options for completely different specials like Palutena if he (it?) makes it in.

You get some brownie points from me man. It's rare for me to see people taking matters into their own hands to get something done, especially when it comes to supporting characters. I know I'm not someone that could do such things. Good luck and stuff. :bubblebobble:

@ gameb0ybryan gameb0ybryan has a petition going to revive the custom robo franchise. It's still in its opening phases, but it's soon about to enter full swing. He has a link to sign it in his signature.

I'm the number 1 custom robo fan you will ever meet, the gamecube title easily being my favorite. The project refers to the petition i'm about to launch, located here. There is an extensive video being made for it, and some important announcements coming on monday around 4 ET/1 PT until 6 ET/3 PT.
