Character Weight Prediction Topic

[Mr. Who]

Hello! This is my first topic in this part of the forums. Really, I don't really care about the items, stages, etc. I like the characters. I like seeing them in action and learning a little bit about their histories. That is what Smash Bros. was orginally intended for. Well, onward to the weights! They're listed in weight class, but not heaviest to lightest (My brain is not that complex yet.):

Heavy:
Bowser (Face it. He got bigger.)
Donkey Kong
Charizard
Wario
King Dedede (What's he doing here? He was an unlikely candidate to me, but it's Sakurai's choice. But he did my work for me by staing he was a heavy weight outright!)

Middle Heavy:
Samus
Link
Snake
Ike

Middle:
Mario
Pokemon Trainer (Varies)
Lucas
ZS Samus
Ivysaur
Sheik

Middle Light:
Pit
Ice Climbers
Zelda
Yoshi
Meta Knight
Diddy Kong
Fox
Sonic (He's great truely. But let's face it, he's a light weight.)
Peach

Light:
Kirby
Pikachu
Pikmin & OLimar

Did I get everyone? Well there it is for your viewing pleasure, or to critize (As Ben Franklin once said, "Critics are our friends. They show us our flaws.") as you please.

Also I got this strange idea that Wario might get lighter or heavier while charging his Wario Waft.

P.S. I'm doing confirmed characters. But this by no means that you can't post who you want in Brawl here. Just not too much, I am taking your opinions into account.

Update 1: Changed Ike to Middle.
Update 2: Added the Pokemon Trainer's Pokemon (Why don't I just call him Red from now on.)
Update 3: Changed Diddy to middle light
Update 4: Added Middle Heavy, and Middle Light. Changed "ever" to "every"
Update 5: Added Sonic because he just got confirmed.
Update 6: Added Dedede because he just got confirmed.
Update 7: Added Sheik and Olimar.

At first, I was gonna come in and flame this idea...but on further contemplation, I realized that this is a good idea...this should be stickied (maybe)...like your predictions...they seem accurate to me...

 

[Diddy Kong]

Mearly guessing here but in order I think it'll be something like:

Bowser
Donkey Kong
Samus
Charizard
Wario
Link
Ike
Snake
Mario
Lucas
Peach / Zelda
Zero Suit Samus / Pit
Ivysaur
Diddy Kong / Fox
Meta Knight
Squirtle / Pikachu
Kirby

Hello! This is my first topic in this part of the forums. Really, I don't really care about the items, stages, etc. I like the characters. I like seeing them in action and learning a little bit about their histories. That is what Smash Bros. was orginally intended for. Well, onward to the weights! They're listed in weight class:

Heavy Weights:
Bowser
Ike
Samus
Wario
Donkey Kong

Middle:
Mario (He's the standard for Smash)
Snake (Not real sure)
ZS Samus
Fox (He may be light middle. He's carrying some equipment now.)
Diddy Kong
Ice Climbers
Lucas
Pokemon Trainer (He varies depending on Pokemon.)
Meta Knight (Maybe light middle)
Pit
Link (Middle heavy)

Light:
Kirby (of course)
Peach
Zelda
Pikachu

Did I get ever one? Well there it is for your viewing pleasure, or to critize (As Ben Franklin once said, "Critics are our friends. They show us our flaws."

Hmm I don't see Ike being that heavy personally at least not heavier than Link. Other than that I don't have much to say though Pit and Diddy Kong could be leaning more toward the light side (middle-light) like Metaknight.

Why would this need to be stickied? It's a good idea and all-- but it's nothing to sticky over.
No offence.

Heavyweight:

Ike
Charizard
Link
Bowser
Donkey Kong
Yoshi
Wario
Fox

Standard:

Mario
Ivysaur
Pit
Diddy Kong
Metaknight
Snake
Lucas
Pikachu
Peach
Samus

Lightweight:

Zero Suit Samus
Squirtle
Kirby
Zelda
Ice Climbers

I'd guess along these lines (note: not in any particular order within the categories; unannounced/speculative characters in blue, just for fun):

Heavy
Bowser
Donkey Kong
Wario
Charizard (too much bulk for those stubby legs)
Ganondorf
King K Rool

Middle-Heavy
Link (like in Melee, lots of equipment weighing him down)
Snake (like Link)
Ike (indicated by the "many heavy characters have this ability" comment)
Ivysaur (ponderous with that bulb on his back)
Samus (armor)
King Dedede

Middle
Mario
Ice Climbers
Lucas
Meta Knight (small with wings and armor evens out)
Luigi
Mewtwo
Mr. Game & Watch
Krystal (middle-light if she doesn't have her space-style armor)
Captain Olimar (suit and size balance out more or less, maybe middle-light instead)
Sigurd
Mega Man

Middle-Light
Squirtle (very small, but shell weighs him down, maybe middle)
Zelda/Sheik
Yoshi
Marth
Captain Falcon
Jigglypuff
Falco

Light
Diddy Kong
Pikachu
Kirby
Zero Suit Samus
Fox
Pit
Peach
Sonic
Micaiah

I get it, I get it. You all hate my thread, but I plan to make many more! I just love the characters.

 

[lcampoy8]

I think Diddy Kong should be in the lights, even in mario kart double dash i think he is in the light section

We don't hate your thread, we are posting are opinions. That is what a forum is for. This is a great discussion thread. Don't fret because some dislike your weight choices or are making their own. Take in their opinion and revise your chart if you feel you need to. I like this thread.

 

[Mr. Who]

Thanks

Thank you all for your opinions and suggestions, it helped make my calculations more on track. Kudos to you!

Also thanks for adding your own characters to the list, I'd like some of them.

Plus, what does sticked mean?

 

[Homelessvagrant]

Nah Ike is definitly a heavy character, Sakurai has stated. I don't think it is him that personally has heavy characteristics but his sword that slows him down and powers him up.

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

I think Metaknight will be lighter as well considering the fact that he is similar to Kirby, though his wings and armor could give him the extra weight

 

[Wii4Mii 99]

Wii don't hate your thread. Wii're just posting our opinions. After all, it is called the Weight Prediction Topic.

On this forum, if something is stickied, then... Well, it's kind of hard to explain. You know how, on every page in the Brawl Character Discussion forum, there are always threads at the top? On EVERY Page? Those are stickys. They're threads that are special and deserve to be at the top and on every page for everyone to see.

I know that definition is wrong...

Hey, topic creator-man, you forgot squirtle (I think)

 

[Zevox]

Plus, what does sticked mean?

A stickied thread is one that is placed at the top of the forum at all times. Threads with important discussions or information get stickied - such as the poll on what new Pokèmon should be in Brawl (with hundreds of them to choose from, thats quite the discussion), the thread about the results of Sakurai's poll (one of the only concrete pieces of evidence about probably characters we have), the index of "official" character discussion threads, and so on.
