Ditto in Brawl?

[Joka]

I don't know. Just a thought. Ditto is a pretty neat POKéMON. I mean having a character that can transform and utilize another character's abilities would be awesome!

-Ditto could probably Transform into another character either by grabbing the character or facing the character.

-The attacks Ditto uses as the other characters are weaker. That's the only drawback. And he can come out of the Transformation by taunting (the same way Kirby discards and ability).

-His taunt can probably be him bobbing up and down saying "Ditto!"

-Ditto doesn't have a moveset unless he transforms. But he can still jump, move and guard.

I think Ditto would be cool, but not like you said. I think he should be able to randomly turn into other characters when you push B, and that would be his only special. And when you do your taunt he turns back into Ditto.

 

[Joka]

Randomly? I think it's better to change into a character he is fighting. It should be random if it is a 4-player fight.

 

[freeman123]

If all he can do is turn into the character he's fighting, then what would happen if both people picked Ditto?

And why would anybody pick him if he just turned into a weaker version of his opponent, like you said. If that were the case, wouldn't it make more sense to just pick the same character as your opponent and be just as good instead of picking Ditto and being worse?

 

[Joka]

Well, in the game, if Ditto turned into another Pokemon, his stats will be the same. If Ditto were to be as powerful as the fighter he turned into, he would be a bit overused. (Though that wouldn't be a bad thing...)

I'd much prefer having a character that can be a completely random character (like freeman said). That would be fun. I'd use him all the time, because I almost always goes random in Melee anyway.

Ditto = Charade from Soul Calibur 2

 

[Maeotian]

I like the idea of random character changing too. But could you only change into one character per match, or could you possibly keep changing and unchanging until you change into a prefered character?

 

[McFox]

I'm thinking like what Mic said, Charade from SCII. In that game, you were changed into a random character for each fight. In Melee, it could work for every stock. That would be heaven for me.

 

[ChozoBoy]

Why not? Ditto was in Melee in Tourny Mode. (And as an unused Poke due to ICs, but still reachable by AR, though useless.)

 

[Mysteryfox1]

does someone have a idea for his super smash attack

 

[Vali]

I'd like it if Ditto just appeared instead of a "Random" button for character selection. Changing every stock would be good until you got a really really bad match-up, supposing there are such things in Brawl, could be fun though.

 

[ss118]

How about any time u do anything, he'd pick a random character for that move. For example, using down b may result in a rest or a shine(could be fox's/falco's), or anytime you walked/ran, you'd change, too, until you stopped that particular movement/attack.

 

[DNA13]

sounds kinda likd kirby to me... kinda like, not JUST like. also he would need to hav some kind of unique moveste
but if hes in, ill play him

 

[Joka]

OK, maybe Ditto can have some attacks, but with him having only one move, it's a bit hard to make a simple moveset.

 

[WaterTails]

If it isn't the stock idea, might it be broken?

transform into sheik(assuming she comes back)
land a fair
transform into [insert uber edgeguarder here]

 

[Icy_Eagle]

I think the stock changing idea is the best one, changing at will would make it overpowered and using random moves would make it unusable (spelling?) like using final cutter to recover when you need farore's wind.

 

[Aussie_Phoenix]

IMO there are already too many pokemon in smash bros.

 

[Icy_Eagle]

With the stock changing idea you would never really play as ditto aka a purple blob, just some random characters.
plus, only the mario series beats pokémon to nintendo's top selling franchises if I remember correctly so the game will probably have quite a few
