Donbe, with or without Hikari

[HiddenTiger]

As far as Japan-only characters go, I think Donbe from Shin Oni Ga Shima would be a great addition to the SSBB roster. He did have a trophy in Melee, so that's got to count for something, right? Anybody who's played Melee enough to get the trophy would recognize him, and for anybody else he would be a nice surprise, like Marth and Roy were in Melee. The only thing I don't know about is whether or not he should be tag-teamed with Hikari. On the one hand, having the two together could open up entirely new moves that they could use. But then again, adding Hikari on might limit Donbe's overall potential.

donbe himself seems more likely.

can you post a moveset?

 

[SMB PORTAL]

I could see Donbe getting in easier, but I don't know much about neither. Off to research!

HUZZAH!

Parrothead to the rescue!

so far, all I can find online is that the game is based after Japanese folktale.

This, "Let's put some characters that no one knows and/or cares about in Brawl" trend really sucks.

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

I belive this series is very well remembered in Japan, at least as well as Nazo no Murasamejou.

 

[HiddenTiger]

I had a moveset for a tag-team of the two a while ago, but the forum I had it on has been closed down.

Thanks for the assist, Parrothead. Again...

 

[Super_Cool]

What exactly would they do to attack? I don't know anything about the game they were in.

You'd rather have Waluigi?

And, really, it worked out for the Ice Climbers.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

I'd rather have Little Mac, Captain Olimar, King Dedede, Diddy Kong, Elite Beat Agents/QUENDAN!, Anyone from Golden Sun, Anyone from Mother 3, Anyone from Advance Wars, R.O.B., Sonic, and some others who don't suck.

 

[icymatt]

Using me against myself, are ya'?

Well, I do want those characters more than Donbe. But I'm still open to other ideas. We might as well get all the possibilities out in the open rather than talk about the same 20 or so over and over and over and over...

I'm afraid of your tomato.

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

I see you got your sig back. Just a little suggestion: can you ditch the ******** blonde (the 1st one)? She annoys the sh*t outta me... everything else is fine. (Off topic I know...)

At any rate, good character suggestion.

That's true, but when Parrothead came here, he said something like, "I came here to stop all the bad suggestions like Master Chief". So he decided to battle fire with fire, and use his bad suggestions against the others, I like your thinking parrothead! Not all of his suggestions are bad, just most of them.

The tomato scares me too, but it kind of turns me on.

I see you got your sig back. Just a little suggestion: can you ditch the ******** blonde (the 1st one)? She annoys the sh*t outta me... evrything else is fine.

Sure, I'll add the other one.

 

[SMB PORTAL]

Love the Tomato sig.

I agree with Marshigio though, I would rather see Little Mac, Captain Olimar, King Dedede, Diddy Kong, Elite Beat Agents/QUENDAN!, Anyone from Golden Sun, Anyone from Mother 3, Anyone from Advance Wars, R.O.B., or Sonic.

[#HBC | marshy]

Glad to see you guys like it cough+repmeforitpleaseandI'llrepyoubackifIhaven'talreadydonesocough*

Anyway, I agree with Marshigio, this character(s) suggestion sucks, but the ones in his post don't.

 

[HiddenTiger]

You know, there's really no need to bash my suggestion. Just because I'm trying to think of interesting characters, and not follow the crowd by clammoring for the same characters that everybody else has already been talking about forever, doesn't mean that my ideas suck. If you really need to worry about obvious picks, then go talk about Diddy Kong or Krystal.

 

[FlipTroopa]

Heh, nice sig Marshigio.

Now as for Donbe and Hikari, I think some people are being very close-minded here. Nobody complained about Marth or the Ice Climbers or Mr. Game and Watch. They're very well loved. And be honest: how many of you were actually like "who the hell is Pit?" or "Samus is a hot chick?" It's amazing how many people were shocked, and then readily accepting, of these characters.

So give characters like Takamaru, Mach Rider, and even Donbe and Hikari a chance. They might surprise you.

Anyways... Shin Oni Ga Shima is part of the Musashi Bananshi games, which are basically text adventure games that Nintendo released on the NES and later remade for the SNES. Altogether, there is Shin Oni Ga Shima (The New Island of Demons), Yuu Yuu Kii (Journey to the West; the Son Goku story, fyi ), and Time Twist (original). After the success of the Famicom Detective Club games, they went along with these, essentially based on Japanese legends and myth (with the last one being an original story).

Donbe actually grows up by the second half of the story into a really kickass cavedude, and him, Hikari, a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant basically clobber some evil ogress to save Japan. He would definitely be a pretty popular choice for a character, at least for the Japanese. He would just be another "Marth" for us, but he's really cool. He'd fit pretty well into the game.

 

[HiddenTiger]

Thank you. And remember, Donbe was put on Sakurai's list, so he's at least being considered.

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

And he(they) actually has(have) a good chance, as the game is an enduring classic not unlike, as I mentioned before, Nazo no Murasamejou.

 

[parrothead]

They and two Yuu Yuu Kii characters also made a cameo appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 3.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Heh, nice sig Marshigio.

HUZZAH'S FOR INTELLIGENT POSTERS!

Anyway, I don't see any reason for him not to be in Brawl, and I see many reasons why he should be in Brawl, but what sakurai give's us I'll be happy woth

 

[Stryks]

This is what I think:

Marth was the most popular FE lord in Japan, Mr.Game and Watch was one of Nintendo's first characters. As for the Ice Climbers, I think they were requested by IGN.

Also, I want Takamaru in and wouldn't mind Mach Rider.

I'm not being close-minded, I know these characters COULD work in Brawl, but just about any character could.

 

[HiddenTiger]

Gee, thank you so much for that intelligent insight, Stryks.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

Ignore Stryks, that's what I usually do and I get along fine.

He also supports Deoxys and Lucario...bleh.

Also, those 2 might be popular in Japan, but remember what Sakurai said, he doesnt wanna put characters that are only popular in japan, cause smash bros is worldwide... so HA!

 

[#HBC | marshy]

That didn't stop him from putting in Marth and Jigglypuff, who were the most popular FE lord/pokemon in Japan at the time.

He says he doesn't WANT to, but he WILL if they're mega popular, like the 2 I named above.

 

[FlipTroopa]

That's cool you want those characters. You get the STAMP OF AWESOME now

But about Marth, GaW and the IC... Marth is actually only the original FE lord. The most popular is Sigurd, who Sakurai has been trying to get in a SSB game since the first. Game and Watch is really just a compilation character; he doesn't "exist." They just slapped a beerslam of Game and Watch games together and made him up. But yeah, he's meant to be that classic, enduring, old-school character. As for the IC, Sakurai wanted a fighter from the Arcade/older NES generation, and toiled between Balloon Fighter, Mach Rider, ICs, and I think Urban Champion. He decided on ICs, though not until after getting far along BF, because A. they were more unique, and B. they had FAN support, not IGN support, from Japanese polls.

So if Sakurai has an idea, and we clamor enough for it, he'll do it. Which gives me hope for characters like Takamaru and Demiru, you know?

 

[#HBC | marshy]

Fliptroopa, you have the ability to make my post look dumb and simple compared to yours. +rep for you.

What you said is possible, but those are some high hopes because not many have supported these characters.

I know someone is going to say something about Docter Mario, Pichu, and Y.Link. They were clones put in at the last minute to fill the roster.

What he said is that he doesn't want to overload the game with Japan-only characters.

Aw, you're just sayin' that :blush:

This time around, Sakurai wants to avoid clones actually. So let's hope that doesn't happen again... I'll be ticked, for one.

At least someone here thinks straight...

BUUUUUTTTT.... he will consider them regardless, because the FE characters were so **** well received internationally.

 

[parrothead]

Some Japan-Only titles will probably be translated and added to other countries' Virtual Console lists, and then people will be able to play some of the titles the characters appeared in so they can recognize them more. Characters from Japan-Only Game Boy/Color/Advance and Nintendo DS titles have the lowest chances at appearing in SSBB.

 

[Stryks]

Lets say Sakurai does considre putting them in brawl, also remember what he said and, if I remember correctly, those characters are inspired from a japanese legend for kids, so if hes a man of his words which I bet he is, Im pretty sure they wont appear in brawl, but meh...

 

[SupaSmashBrotha]

Would you care to explain that? I don't see how being based on a folk legend means that they won't be appearing. If anything, it means Sakurai would need to draw on that legend to create a moveset for them.

I hate when people bring up that thing that Sakurai said and claim that there won't be any Japan-only characters.

 

[HiddenTiger]

Agreed. They take it completely out of context.
