Brash the Bear Bashes Into the Stadium


Who Is Brash you say?

Brash is the hotheaded member of the Brothers Bear who originated from the last of the DKC Trilogy, Donkey Kong Country 3: Triple Trouble. He currently resides in Kremwood Forest. Brash is a cocky and stereotypical athlete that thinks he is very fast and is happy only when he is undefeated. He lives in a regular Brothers Bear cabin in the Super Nintendo version of Donkey Kong Country 3 and a sports stadium in the Gameboy Advance remake. In a previous level "Riverside Race", Brash holds a record for completing it one minute and fifteen seconds. If Dixie and Kiddy Kong manage to beat his record and pay Brash a visit, he will throw a tantrum, causing a loose log to fall off a tree and land in the river, leading to a secret Banana Bird Cave. Other than reaching the Cave, Brash has no other significance in the game. If the Kongs revisit him any time after beating him, he will get angry and kick them out.

Are you bananas? Why the heck should I vote for this irrelevant bear?

First of all, Brash the Bear is plot relevant just like the other Brothers Bear throughout the entire game (Meaning that you can't reach the secret Banana Bird Cave without beating his personal record if you want to beat the *ahem* game at 103% for the true ending.) And second of all, he's arguably one of the more memorable members of the bears due to his jerkish attitude and infamous tantrum that he throws when you actually beat his record. So if you get a good grasp of this, he's quite the fan favorite out of the new characters introduced in the game, even in comparison to the more hated Ellie the Elephant and Kiddy Kong.

Being a member of the Brothers Bear, Brash actually has a unique design in comparisons to the more notable Kongs and Kremlings the Donkey Kong Country franchise due to being a bear. As a matter of a fact, he could easily be a playable representative that represents such a group since he's one of the more memorable characters of the game unlike the less liked Ellie the Elephant and Kiddy Kong. The fact that he has the Rarebare logo on his trademark shirt easily meant that the developers and a soft spot fro him despite his minor role. In case Banjo doesn't make in Smash due to his ownership to Microsoft, Brash's inclusion could easily make up for it since he is a bear created by Rare and owned by Nintendo.



Brash's Exciting Moveset Potential


A majority of Brash's uniqueness would come from big a heavyweight that is nimble with =plenty of aerial options due to his unique muscular body. He can have a slow walk, but a powerful run that could even make Bowser's seem like joke. His arms are were his strength comes from the most since this things are capable of shaking the damn ground when slamming them onto a disk in blind rage. So expect most of his attacks to be punches, hooks, elbows, clotheslines, jabs, or even arm flexing.
Due to being a bear, he is cabal of things that these ursid predators are capable of like bites, clawing, punches, body slams, or even damaging others with a powerful roar. Since bears are known for their feral nature and massive strength, he could even attacks with an array of heavy objects like large logs and large dumbbells. His stays of being an athlete can grant him some quick and deadly kicks, those these are even weaker in comparison to his muscular arms.


If that isn't enough moveset potential for you, he can easily borrow some materials from his furry brothers since he is a Brother Bear representative after all. He could toss special coins (known as Bear Coins) in memory of Bazaar, use the explosives from his brother Boomer, swiping a rare plant that he stole from Bramble at his enemies, borrowing Bazooka's old canon named Bessie, kicking with Blizzard's spiked mountain boots, or even using Bjorn's iconic alphorn.

Brash the Bear's Moveset Workout


Attacks

Idle Animation: Brash does a feral stance akin to Bowser with his jaw gaping and his muscular arms outstretched (all while breathing heavily). His actions during this stance would range from doing his mocking pose that he did in the cabin from DKC3 or even flexing his arms arrogantly.

Jab A: Brash does a powerful punch. Follows into another righthand hook. A follow-on with an onslaught of slow, but powerful law swipes.

Forward Tilt: Brash jabs with his left elbow while doing an smug grunt with his body leaned over.

Up Tilt: He does a jumping jack gesture that only attacks with his arms above him, it hits more than ones like Olimar's Up Tilt.

Down Tilt: Brash does a simple "stomp to the foot" with his outstretched leg, this has a decent amount of range.

Dash Attach: Brash does a powerful pounce with his claws outstretched and his fearsome jaws open, which would end in him comically landing onto the hard ground belly first.

Neutral Aerial: Brash does a powerful spin with both of his arms outstretched, one of his more deadlier moves.

Forward Aerial: A quick roundhouse kick in midair with a smug grin on his face.

Back Aerial: He turns around and swipes with his claws, all with a devious glint in his eye.

Up Aerial: Brash swipes his right arm above him at a wide radius wing his eyes follow his hand.

Down Aerial: He does a series of powerful kicks below himself while "running" in midair with the last kick being a guarantee knockback attack.

Smash Attacks

Side Smash: Brash dons the spiked shoes of his mountain loving brother Blizzard and initiates a powerful straightforward kick with his right rood.

Up Smash: Brash takes out a massive dumbbell (specially the ones that you would bench press with) and lifts it into the air while letting out a massive grunt. The bar of the dumbbell does the least damage, but the weights on each side causes the most (Plus, have a rare chance of breaking shields).

Down Smash: Brash takes out Bjorn's alphorn with his teeth and spins it around himself with the strength of his powerful jaws. This is one of his more ranged moves due to the length of the horn itself.

Throws:

Grab: Brash the Bear reaches out with his right arm with a low growl.

Pummel: He starts to viciously bite his foe like any Rarebare would.

Forward Throw: He tosses his foe aside like their trash with his right arm.

Back Throw: He does a roll backwards and toss his foe with his entire body lying on his back afterwards.

Up Throw: He knocks the foe into the air by tossing his victim and knocking him/her away with a fully flexed arm.

Up Throw: He comically bites his foe and tosses them into the air like a dog would throw a frisbee.


Specials:

Neutral Special: Brash Strength: Brash out a massive wooden log (Just like the one his tantrum had knocked down) and tosses it at his foes. The longer you charge the button, the faster it moves and further it goes (Which also helped the log be more of a powerful projectile due to the momentum of his throw). There's a rare chance that he would toss a dumbbell at 10% which has shield breaking properties and moves more slowly regardless of the charge because of its weight. But it can roll on the ground momentarily depending on the charge of the attack.

Side Special: Bear Coins: Brash flips a bear doing ahead of him with a smug grin which would spawn into a new item that he can use at his disposal. Bowling Ball: 45%: Turns into a heavily ball that can be knocked around like the Soccer Ball item, but doesn't move high or far due to its weight. No. 6 Wrench: 25%: Turns into a simple wrench that can be tossed akin to a slower, but weaker boomerang. Shell: 15%: Turns into a simple seashell that can be thrown as a quick projectile that deals slash damage. Patch: 10%: Serves as a wooden momentary platform/shield that can be broken easily from a few strong attacks (Great for protecting yourself from projectiles. Box of Chocolate: 5%: Crates a sweet item that can be ingested to heal 20% health.


Up Special: Bessie Blast: Brash loads himself inside of his militaristic brother's cannon and launches himself into the air as a living cannonball. Due to the gunpowder from the blast, it coats his fur in flames to damage others and he gains minor damage as a result (Making it a high risk/high reward move).

Down Special: Ursus Tantrum: Brash kneels down in anger and roars at the top of his lungs in rage, while would emit a massive red wave to emit from his body. While the attack in general does minor damage, it deals heavy knockback due to the force of the attack, which is also useful for pushing items or projectiles away from him.

Final Smash: Brash's Broken Record: The fitness loving bear now sits peacefully at his wooden cabin desk in hopes that his record isn't beaten. But the timer on the side of it shows that it had intact been beaten, which will cause the bear to twitch the lower eyelid of his right and have his arms outstretched in shock. After his fists length in an imminent rage, the bear finally snap's and slams his fists onto the desk in a fit of rage which will cause the ground to shake. Within every time he slams unto his desk, the ground shakes to damage anyone that's onto it and it can fling any grounded items into the air. In addition to this, massive wooden logs like the ones in his Neutral Special will start falling from various locations to attack the aerial fighters. After great 8 - 10 seconds, he finally calms down and breaths in exhaustion from his temper tantrum (Which will then transition into his wooden desk disappearing and the bear regaining his fighting stance).

Visual Representation:


Taunts:

1. Brash the Bear celebrates like his the winner of the Olympics by cheering to the right and left with his arms outstretched.

2. Brash jogs in place while huffing like any professional would to taunt his foe and showoff his athletic skills

3. Brash checks out the timer around his neck while flexing his left arm at the same time and looks up after he done recording.

Hypothetically, when we get both K. Rool and the entire Kong family in future installments or if the Brothers Bear were to appear in a future Donkey Kong Country Returns title. If we can have Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem bias this gen, the why not have Donkey Kong bias in future installments to make things even. :troll:

Do not forget Brash reps the cocky sportsmen that appear throughout the Nintendo series.

Spiritual successors include II Piantissimo, Koopa the Quick and Running Man.
We need cocky sportsmen repped in Smash!

Gee, how the heck did I not think of this before. He could easily rep the cocky sportsmen that Nintendo had in the past, especially with his attitude.

When Super Smash Bros: Obscure Character Overtake DLC pack is announced, I'll give Brash, Stanley the Bugman, and Mrs. Game and Watch a shot.

Also 100th post.
Best DLC pack idea ever. I wouldn't mind maining Stanley the Bugman either.

Just gonna correct you on one matter: Brash is not needed for 100% at all. You can get 100% without collecting a single banana bird. It is only needed for the proper 103% ending for the game.

Thanks for reminding me for which it's been long since I've beaten the game. Definitely have to download the original title since I'm almost done with the DKC2 playthrough (Damn Flying Krock).

This is why Brash is a shoo-in.

Remember this infamous tweet by Phil Spencer?
https://twitter.com/xboxp3/status/584023190692737024
And notice how Phil mentions only Banjo? Why would he not mention Kazooie? The tweet is 132 characters so it's not like adding "& Kazooie" would exceed the limit. I think Phil was being ultra careful with his wording, after all what he was proposing was really big. Now think about it, would Microsoft, after having bought Banjo from Nintendo, put Banjo in the game that pretty much celebrates Nintendo?!! The whole purpose of buying Banjo was to snub them from Nintendo, so that Nintendo doesn't benefit from the Banjo IP anymore. Sure, they'd get licensing money with Banjo in Smash, but the Banjo IP would then be even more attributed to Nintendo, thereby lowering any hype for any potential Xbox Banjo's and obviously Microsoft would want the opposite of that! No offense to Banjo supporters but it can't be Banjo(well not Banjo Banjo..). So then...who could it be? And why is Phil mentioning Banjo ONLY????!

Well, we know from a Scribes column that Banjo was one of the Bear Brothers from DKC3, could he be our beloved Brash?! Instead of jumping to the conclusion, here are 3 reasons why Banjo is Brash:
1) When you win the race, Brash accuses you of cheating. Hmm, sounds familiar? Remember how Banjo won against Mr. Fit in the race in Cloud Cuckooland? That's right, also by cheating.
2) The crocodiles in his counter. Clearly referring to Mr. Vile. This shows Brash treasures his competitive history when Brash was Banjo.
3) "Rarebare" - Tell me, why does no other Bear Brother affectionately have this title? Where the developing company's name is inserted nonetheless! If you were to ask someone right now what they think when you say "Rarebare", what would they say? That's right, Banjo!

But Kirbyfan, Brash's personality is opposite of Banjo's! Also, how do you know DKC3 takes place after Banjo Kazooie?

Well, first off I'll tackle the second question. Now, even though Banjo is one of the Bear Brothers in DKC3, when Grunty asks you in Banjo Tooie what Banjo's first appearance in a video game is, the answer is Diddy Kong Racing and DKC3 is in none of the options. A contradiction it would seem, wouldn't his first appearance be DKC3? But this can be reconciled easily. Grunty was not talking about the first appearance in terms of the real world dates, rather the in-universe one. Therefore in the DKC timeline(sigh...this is what I do in the internet), we can conclude that DKC3 takes place after Kazooie, Tooie(because DKC3 is never mentioned) and Diddy Kong Racing. But where is it in the timeline? Between Tooie and Nuts & Bolts or after N&B? Well, first of all we look to Diddy Kong Racing...

Now Diddy would have to be hot **** to have a racing competition centered around his name with so many participants, so Diddy Kong Racing is definitely after DKC1 at least. Given that Diddy has shown no visible physical difference from DKC1 to DKC3, for DKC3 to take place approximately 10 years after Diddy Kong Racing(if DKC3 is after Nuts & Bolts) raises some questions. Therefore, it must be between Tooie & N&B and not after N&B. We also see Banjo being fat in N&B coincidentally, so it's no stretch to imagine he could have the body of the Bear Brothers in this timeline. Now, the Bear Brothers. Kazooie is not in DKC3 so we can assume Banjo separated with Kazooie(a lot can happen in 8 years!). This would explain how Banjo is capable of anger as Brash due to the emotional turmoil he feels with Kazooie gone.

Also, none of the Bear Brothers are named "Banjo", so we also know Banjo changed his name. If he went to such extents, surely the anger issues are no surprise and only further supports Banjo being Brash specifically out of all the Bear Brothers. So therefore, Phil is actually referring to Brash when he said he has no problem with Banjo being in Smash, that clever troll Phil...and given how DKC3 is being recently released to Wii U VC with no problems, this only asserts further that there would be no licensing issues or anything with adding Brash to Smash!
In conclusion, Brash is definitely a shoo in as the title suggests and it is time we all accept his inevitable coming is near.

Well that settles it, you had officially uncovered Microsoft's plan all along. They would mention someone as unlikely as Banjo just to pressure Sakurai into picking our Rarebare.

Then there's also the concerns that Banjo would be a Duck Hint clone based on what I've seen on sites like Facebook and YouTube. So I can imagine the team picking one of the Brithers Bear (Most notably Brash) since they might be more unique in comparison to him.

So Brash the Bear is indefinitely confirmed as a shoo-in. :troll:

Don't worry this addition wouldn't delute the roster more than it already has been.
I understand that you are a vocally salty person about how Smash has had to rely on less all-star characters to keep expansion going, but who has been added that is on par of an npc with less than dozen lines of text with one game's appearance?

In what way has the roster been diluted?
No Wolf, No K. Rool, No Ridley, No Toad, and so on. How do I know, it's been talked about everywhere (even on 4Chan).

Xenoblade bias? If it means having Fiora and Melia, then count me in! :troll:

Yep. Playable character in his own game, one of the best selling and well received titles for the 3DS period when it was in the duldum of being too new with a fairly weak library who was a choice to be promoted from alt to playable in the latest stages of production is clearly lower of a bar than someone who exists solely to make cameos :4rob: or got in solely due to being tied to another character :4sheik:. :troll:

Yes, I agree that there are certain "standards" that some additions are below in terms of character or uniqueness as a fighter. However, the vast majority of the roster IS the vast majority of Nintendo's best. I'll gladly take :4darkpit: re-purposed from an alt costume late in production over all the time and effort it would have taken to turn one-off villains of the Zelda series like Ghirahim or Skull Kid.

Sakurai's human. To err is human. But when the only major "lack" of inclusions come down to a pair of reoccuring big bad reptillians out of a cast of ~55 and growing, there was a lot of good done.

Our first customer, am I in heaven?

Welcome to Brash's Workout Center for Supporters, where we have a full stadium for track running and a souvenir shop where you can buy goods with Bear Coins. Seeing his sexy Mohawk and powerful arms alone should've let anyone know that he's perfect for Smash despite his minor role.

An extremely minor and worthless bonus character from Donkey Kong Country 3. BKupa666 brought him up as a joke suggestion months ago, and he has kind of stuck,

He's the messenger of the Gods, the ruler of the world, bringer of peace and prosperity. Many tales were written and ballads sung detailing his glorious life and actions. Bow your head and respect our lord and saviour, Brash the Conqueror Bear. :troll:

I can't believe I actually wrote this.

It's perfectly ok Falkoopa, this bear died for our sins before the end of the Rare era (Donkey Kong 64) and before the dawn of the dark ages of Paon and non-Rare titles (Starting with Donkey Kong Jungle Beat). He represents the last of the good DK games we had before Retro Studios steered it in a better directed after Paon's atrocities despite the lack of those krazy krocodiles.

With his dying bear breathe, he had hoped for the day that him and his brothers would get their valuable return in the future as well as the Kremlings. And always remember these words, "Brash is love, Brash is life".

Why have a #Br4sh4Sm4sh thread without me?

We need both a bear and a Dee-Kay character, so Brash fits both of those roles!

Welcome to the Dark Side in which we have tea and banana cookies in the workout center. To the right of our base, you can see the very track that our Rarebare had used to practice everyday for that world record. I hope you enjoy your stay and avoid any Gnawties on your way. :evil:

Update: Added some mandatory animations to the OP to give it that brash feel that it deserves. It actually looks like he's literally demanding people to vote for him know that I think of it. :p

I vote yes simply because he's a bear. Bears are cool. Smash needs more bears!

You're right. Who needs those K.Rool and Dixie jokers? Brash the Bear is where it's at! :awesome:

You can't deny it, Brash is the shoo-in that we all deserve. The fact that he's more unique than the current DK cast and has more personality than the Tikis says a lot. :troll:

Now hold on just a minute here.

I generally support characters that I feel have a slight chance of making it in, and after reading all the theories, and the fact that Namco loves animals in their fighting games, I was almost sold here. And then I saw this detracting pic of Brash from the GBA version.

I don't think I need to point out whats wrong with this screen...
He's too big.
I mean, seriously, that's almost 3 Kiddy Kong's combined in height.

Now, I know someone's going to say "he's not that big in the SNES version", but neither was Ridley in NES Metroid. You can literally say both characters sizes were retconed in the future GBA remakes of the game, with DKC3 GBA even being done by Rare themselves, meaning this was Rare's intended size for Brash.

So if Sakurai thinks a scaled down Ridley won’t be true to his character, why would he think the opposite for Brash?

I need a logical explanation for this, it's the only thing preventing me from supporting him and throw a vote for Brash on the Japanese Smash Ballot.

May I remind you that people support King K. Rool and this guy is known to dwarf the kong's in size on many occasions? Unlike Bowser, there is no logical explanation behind his size that that doesn't stop people from support him (Mii costume aside).

Want another example of inconsistent size for a character with ballot support? Then allow me to introduce you to Hades, the True Lord of the Underworld?



See how Pit can easily fit inside of Hades's hand? People still support this guy regardless and simply say that he can change his size at will like any other god (Yet, we didn't see any signs of it in the game itself). So fact of the matter is that Brash's size can be retconned again for Smash since the GBA remakes were considered inferior to the SNES originals (even the new soundtrack for Donkey Kong Country 3 sucked). And his trademark roid rage would be seen as something a weak ***** could do in that version of the game. Plus, the guy can easily burn off all of his fat since he knows that a bear must never stay that big. :p
