LOL Nice title. xD

Anyway, to the point. I've been having thoughts lately about the 1999 Melee list. Ash is on it. That got me thinking. Ask would have to use mainly pokemon right? Well if he had Pikachu how would be be on his shoulder?

Simpler way to explain. Everyone in Melee is about the same size. Pikachu is about as big as Bowser, right? Well, look at Snake. He's about as big as Mario. But Snake is basically a fricken Ninja, so he's tall. My point? Ash would have to be shorter than him. So than him and Pikachu would be roughly the same size. Therefore it would break the system.

BTW, what about the Hands? Are they the size of real hands, and the characters are mini, or are they ginormous, and the characters our size?

Yea, this is a weird thread. xD

Yup, the characters in the games are dolls, for 64, and trophies, for Gamecube.
But that doesn't neccisarrily mean that's how it is for Brawl ;)
But it'd have to be somewhere around the lines of that...

ACTION FIGUR3S!!!

I dont really see the point in this thread... are you saying that the characters are too tall/small? Cause truthfully, Pikachu is about the Size of Ashes Head, so hes huge in Super Smash Bros. Games. Same with Pichu.

And about the snake the same size as mario, wrong. Thats like saying Samus is the same size as mario.

Look at the World trailer. At one point Mario and Snake fight and Snake gets Smashed, while on the bottom Link takes on Wario and Wario gets smashed. It's on the Yoshi's Island stage.

If you look Snake is maybe a few centimeters taller than Mario.

And thats how it is with Samus and Mario in Melee. A few centimeters in our eyes and how tall they are really in the game is a huge different. In the game, snake is like, 3 feet taller or something. Face it, Mario's a freakin' ******.

I know, but I'm talking about how they are in Smash, not other games. This thread's about how they would have to rig it for some characters to work.

Disagreed. A short chubby ******.

EDIT:

First of all, Mario is standing perfectly up straight.
Snake is crowching, and besides that, the platform is slightly tilted, which would make it seem like Mario is indeed taller. But it's not that way.

And besides, in a game, does it really matter?

But It's tilting to make Snake taller, So Even if they were perfect, Snake would be barely taller.

Even so, it's barely tilted, and we have still to consider the Snake is crouching pretty low.
And about Link being barely taller than Wario, they're elevation is the same, and Link is crouching as well.

I'll try to get a screen shot of a closer comparison (if there is one).

Look, okay then, LETS JUST AGREE with the Toasty!. Did this really matter, and deserve a thread of its own?
I really don't see why this thread doesn't deserve to be here, it leads to more discussion on a game that I'm personally hyped about. That's not a bad thing, and it's fun to debate on how much I'm right :smash: j/p ;D

We get it, your thread is cool and all, not everything has to go in it though, its starting to get a bit annoying watching u announce "your thread" in every other thread there is, i appreciate that u made that compendium, and i read it a lot, good ****, but stop "advertising" it, cuz thats getting kinda annoying, or sad :S.

Not trying to flame, but plz try to stop that :O

I'm not trying to announce it, lets say, but alot of these aren't stupid, but unneeded for their own thread. I mean look, why is snake so short is basically why this was created.... does that really deserve its own?

Actually now that I think about it, this should belong in Sariku's tropic.
The whole point of that thread is to stop spam flow in the board.
If you guys still want to discuss the matter of how tall characters are (lol)
It'd be better to do it there ;)

Although, I don't see how that's classified as official information... so it'd best be left here?
IDK, you're both right. Yay,

Lol, if its in the MAIN post its official info, but if its not in the first post, its just speculated. So yeah, it would go there, but I'm sick of fighting.
