DS Symbol?

[Captain_Waluigi]

OK, something I'm wondering about. If they used a DS symbol to represent the PictoChat stage instead of the Smash symbol, does that mean we're going to see some other DS material later? Like, a stylus item that allows you to draw on the screen?

 

[AnusNinja]

I believe so, really. I can't see them going about having an icon for something that won't have character representation.

Also, the stylus isn't too bad of an idea, ha. But what DS-only character would it be?

 

[gamer8]

Draw-A-Character!

 

[DMAJohnson]

I highly doubt it. They just wanted to save the Smash icon for Smash-exclusive stages.

I agree with this.

Really now. Can you honestly say that you would see no problem with giving Smashville a Smash Bros. symbol?

 

[Rhubarbo]

No, the icon will definitely have representation. It won't be something silly like Dr.Kawashima (he's a human for one, and two that would give him the Brain Age logo). A Mii is the number one candidate because the DS I guess represents Nintendo hardware (the DS icon looks better than putting a Wii).

Another potential DS rep is a stick figure. You don't draw him, he has pre-determined stats and moves. He attacks primarily with a Stylus (sword user lol). That would be extremely WTF!

I'd actually like a Mii rep with customizable faces. I'd stick Homer there is they has a Wii Sports moveset (Homer has boxed, bowled, played baseball, play tennis, and golfed). Homer v.s. Peter Griffin...EPIC!

Not sure if I understand this? I said that the icons DO mean representation. An AC character will be in, no doubt. That's like saying C. Falcon is out, but they gave his assist trophy an icon.

 

[Rhubarbo]

Indeed, I see your point. It still is likely though that they would put in an AC rep. Why not? It is one of Nintendo's most recent IPs and it would be stupid for them to exclude him from Brawl. Seriously, when they sat down and decided which characters they'd want, an AC rep would come to mind pretty quickly.

85% says he's in Brawl.

 

[Airgemini]

They probably will.

 

[Kelexo]

I doubt it. Levels have icons to represent them such as characters. Items and ATs wouldnt because there'd be waaay too many.

 

[_Slick_]

There won't be a character and if there's a create-your-own-character it'll be the Miis...

Though no doubt connecting your DS to Brawl and then drawing a character for the game would be awesome.

 

[Silfa]

The Nintendog.

Exactly why customizable Mii's should not be characters in Brawl.

oh get a life.

Somebodies a real buzz-kill. Just let people have their fun...

 

[androidgeoff]

Drawn to Life character am comfirmd!!!!!!

 

[Matt Silver]

God I hope we don't get a ****ty character holding that icon.

 

[F@lc0-san]

Mii would be cool, he would use a moveset thats the same for every Mii, but he would look like one of the Mii's stored on your Wii.

 

[Ridley22]

People look way to into this. It simply means that they made an icon for each stage in addition to character. Notice how they are on the stage selection screen.

 

[Captain_Waluigi]

Notice how every other stage that was based on something else has representation in characters (or Assist Trophies).

 

[DreamFiend633]

The DS icon might be used for Mii's, if they are in. Although if they are in they would be unlockable so we should expect an update on them soon.

 

[KingKraken]

Nope

[schlepboogie]

dr. Lobe. He is on all the train your brain games for ds.... i think.

 

[dude984]

dr. Lobe. He is on all the train your brain games for ds.... i think.

Dr. Lobe would be kind of a neat assist trophy, but what would he do? Confuse the characters to death?

Stylus for Brawl!

 

[gnosis]

Battlefield in Melee had a unique Icon that was not the generic Smash symbol.

I don't remember a Battlefield series character in that game.

Sooo... icons don't have to have character representation.

im just putting it out there as a possibility. Im pretty sure that the floating head dr. kawashima or whatever from the train your brain games would be an assist before dr. lobe. I mean hes kind of a blob... (bare with me here) he can like shoot equations and those number bubbles. Idk, its not completly impossible. Its actually kinda probable.

and the advance war tanks will prob have the ds symbol as well.

kinda like Andross, but with equations!
i would like to see him...it's just hard to imagine what he'd do...

Stages have icons on the stage select screen. That's why.

Mii could represent Wii but here is no character to represent DS in this way. And Mii would not have a DS icon as it has never appeared on DS prior to Brawls release and probably never will.

There could be other DS representation but the only reason it gets a symbol is because of the stage.

you dont know its just for the stage rocket... There are a few assist trophys straight from ds as well. That drill chick, the the tanks, prob alot more. Its not impossible at all for there to be a ds rep. Now im not saying, oh yea its def dr. lobe. Im just saying the train your brain games pretty much represent the ds. The games are extremely popular and grab most of the sales on the ds.

 

[freeman123]

I think that there's going to be a PictoChat character. If you look at the PictoChat logo, the o is a smiley face. I think that they'll give that face a body(he'll probably look like a stick figure) and call him Mr. PictoChat or something.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]
