Yeah, that’s a good idea. You can scale them and change their stats to represent each Toad. Rash would be smaller, faster, and lighter than default Greninja while Pimple would be heavier, larger, and slower than Greninja.
On a similar note to spirits, how about a spirit board? Here's my ideas (assuming all three BT's will be fighter spirits):
I agree with this. You’ve pretty much nailed most of the important characters. I think I would probably add Blag as well. You could potentially also throw in a Billy and Jimmy Lee spirit to reference their crossover game with Double Dragon as well.
Yeah, I have considered adding characters from that crossover, but since DD is owned by ArcSys and not Rareware, I'm not sure Sakurai would consider it worthwhile to pay extra licensing fees, though he could still use that series for a spirit event. Still a great idea; maybe you could change my mind about its likelyhood?
Yeah I can’t really speak too much to the likelihood of Double Dragon content but I would love it. At the very least, I think a lot of the music in that game should be brought over to Smash. One point in its favor is that two songs from that game were remixed in the Battletoads reboot (the title theme and first stage).
Alright, let's see how it goes:

|
This is pretty much perfect in my opinion. I’d much rather have them as playable characters but this is a nice consolation prize.Alright, let's see how it goes:

I'd call it "Kings of Karnage", named after one of the titles in the results screen for the Battletoads Arcade game. It'd be based on bosses from the NES, with R.O.B. as the Tall Walker, Bowser as Big Blag, a Metal Snake as Robo-Manus, Ganondorf as General Slaughter, Jigglypuff as the Hypnoorb, and Bayonetta as the Dark Queen herself.
Classic works for alts imo but the reboot designs make them nore visually distinct which is also good if you ask me
I don’t hate their redesigns, I just prefer their classic ones. The eyebrows on the reboot designs always felt a little weird since they are toads and wouldn’t have hair.
Lol yeah I think I just see them all the time since they have been my brother’s favorite video game characters since we were kids and played their game on the NES. I think the reboot outfits could actually work really well as alts if you just took what they were wearing but left their core designs and proportions from the classic games. It would be more of a hybrid between their different appearances. I think that might even be ideal for their primary outfits and leave the purely classic designs for the alts.
I'd pick their retro designs, since their proportions there are the same, meaning they could be alts. of one fighter. Though if their retro ones were picked, would they have voices (even if it's NOT their reboot voices)?
That’s a good question. I think they would likely have voices even if they went with their classic designs since they also had voiced in the arcade game.
Yeah, based on Mega Man and Simon they'd probably mainly draw from their classic designs. That beings aid, I'd imagine they'd also incorporate some influences from their modern designs as well.
Yeah I think I’ve come around to the idea of using the base design for their appearance on the classic games while wearing the outfits from the reboot. Their classic outfits can be alts. This means we’d need six models but Bowser Jr. and Inklings exist so I don’t think it would be too much of an issue.
Hmmmm, I haven't thought about any moves from the reboot; maybe something involving Toadshambo (even if it's only in a taunt or victory pose)? That'd be a neat reference.
Yeah that could work well as a taunt. The other taunts could be Rash’s dance from Killer Instinct and their scared face when they encounter a boss in the classic games.
I haven't really played any BT games, but this topic has gotten me more interested in the reboot (as in watching cutscenes and walkthroughs of it); I'd even consider playing it if it were available on the Switch or maybe even PC.
I've played through the whole Battletoads Arcade game once. Most memorable arcade experience in my life.
Just a fair warning, a lot of people were pretty disappointed with the reboot but I still found it enjoyable. I think the gameplay is underrated and was actually fun to play co-op with friends but some of the humor kind of fell flat. As long as you go into it with reasonable expectations, I think you can still have a good time.
Yeah, I know about the level of disappointment, such as the reaction toward the Dark Queen's new design; but at least she got to keep her big hips, thighs, and butt. ^^
Yeah, some of the comedy was pretty funny but some of it was just kind of dumb. I do appreciate that they did something with it considering the older games never really had a ton of story dialogue.
Sorry, but the conversation's still going, and so it ended up getting the extension (Which is partially on me getting distracted, so if anyone needs to take the blame you know where to look). I'd rather not cut one segment short before it's all wrapped up; It's only fair everyone gets enough time to finish their day, regardless of if that day gets extended or not.
It's okay, I'm not that desperate. I guess it's just the E3 tension getting to me.
If Battletoads gets a lot of songs then I don’t see why not. The problem is that most DLC characters only get around 12ish songs and there are so many amazing songs from the games that I’d hate to miss out on. If we somehow got 25 or more songs, I think the cartoon theme could be a funny addition (although we never got any of the Pokémon anime opening themes, which is kind of a shame).
Yeah that’s a good idea. I actually completely forgot about their death animations on Turbo Tunnel. Mega Man has a similar effect so we know something like that could work.
Yeah, that’s a good idea I hadn’t really considered before. That may actually be the best option. It’s certainly simpler and easier to implement than my health percentage idea. Would you say the running attack would always spawn the ram horns or would there be a way to trigger that as well?
I’d say every time or have it be part of a rotation with another bash like transform attack. It’s purely aesthetic though, but would increase movement variety
