Five Things That Would Make Brawl Even Better Than It Is Now...

[Smile Guy]

Sorry if there's a thread like this already... I did a search and didn't find anything but that's usually not good enough for some reason or other.

Basically, this thread is exactly what it says it is. Regardless of likelihood, or your ability at cleverly mocking people's thoughts, I want people to just state five things that would make Brawl even more amazing. It can be anything from the inclusion of a stage, to the outing of a character, to a section of the Subspace Emissary... you can say whatever you want. Just try and keep it positive and feel-good, yeah? I know it's difficult to do that but let's just try shall we.

I shall lead by example...

1. "There be Treasure on this here island."
In case you didn't get my (not so) ingenius pun, I want the game developer Treasure's assets to be present in some way in Brawl. Treasure are, in my eyes, one of the greatest game developers out there and have an absolutely massive fan-following and critics praise them left, right and centre. We've already seen Saki from Sin and Punishment as an Assist Trophy but I want more. Maybe even a playable character as a surprise third-party character... I'm looking at you Red from Gunstar Heroes.

2. Tetris Stage
Oh, yes, you read right. A Tetris stage. Nintendo holds the right to Tetris so it wouldn't be too difficult. Imagine playing out on a stage that is a literal Tetris game right down to the falling blocks and the disappearing lines. It would be absolutely awesome! And now that crates are customisable per stage they are on, I reckons that our crates will have a distinct Tetris-y feel to them on this stage.

3. Mii and Yuu
I know this has been discussed countless times before but I really think that Miis' presence in this game is a must... AND I will settle for nothing less than a playable character Mii. I don't understand people who contest this idea as I see absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of Hans Solo vs. Mr. T action as long as it's in perfect Nintendo-y Mii form.

4. All of a Series
Brawl is meant to represent absolutely everything Nintendo and I feel that Sakurai is just a little under-delivering from this front. For example, the Wario Ware series is seemingly what Sakurai is taking all of Wario's assets from for Brawl and this is all fine and all but I really want to see some Wario Land representation as well -- perhaps the inclusion of Captain Syrup or at least a stage or something. Similarly, and perhaps moreso of a problem, is the Zelda series where absolutely everything revealed so far is based purely on Twilight Princess. I want to see Farore's Wind, and cel-shaded Young Link, and much more references to everything about these series.

5. Potential of the Subspace Emissary
It seems pretty obvious that Sakurai realises that the Subspace Emissary reeks of awesome... Nintendo characters together in one, over-arching plot is something very special and it's brilliant that we've already seen Fox and Diddy vs. Rayquaza, Wario kidnapping Zelda, and (briefly) Mario and Sonic teaming up as allies. It's every Nintendo fan's best dream. And all I'm asking for here is more of the same... let's see Pokemon Trainer with King Dedede, Ice Climbers with Snake, and Link taking on an evil Lucas. But there also needs to be cameos and cameos and more cameos. Petey Piranha, Rayquaza, and Palutena are one thing but I want the murky waters of obscurity waded through and some truly thrilling boss-battles, puzzles, story cameos, team-ups to become true. The day will perhaps come when Zelda and Captain Olimar are desperately trying to save Ridley and Captain Syrup from the clutches of the Ancient Minister while being attacked by Dr. Robotnik who's wielding the Fire Emblem and the Shadow Queen who's taught Kirby a taste of his own medicine and aborbed his powers. You may smile dreamily.

4. 45-50 characters
5. Skull Kid wouldn't hurt either

1. Balance. And I mean balance. Melee was an insult.
2. Characters who are actually awesome. On that note, Captain Falcon deconfirmed.
3. Balance. Like, balance. You know, the opposite of unbalance.
4. A single-player campaign creator to add to the stage creator.
5. Balance!!!!!!!!!!


EDIT: Darn, customizable costumes would be pretty sweet. Should've thought of that before. Oh well.

 

[The_Woebegone_Jackal]

1) Krystal and Ridley playable. Maybe even Ray (CostumRobo) and the ST Falcon (BattleClash)
2) Names visible during online matches
3) if #2 happens, I'd like to see the 'rival' system make an apearence (see Metroid Prime Hunters)
4) Ranked and unranked random matches

[Y34HDUD3!!!]

2. Characters who are actually awesome. On that note, Captain Falcon deconfirmed.

You, sir, are evil. :O

1-Chrono
2-Chrono Trigger music. (The music's just too epic. Too epic.)


(Characters like C. Falcon, Ridley, and Megaman are obviously in already. Why list em? )

 

[pwnzorz]

1.) Downloadable Characters
2.) Custom Music (Rock You Like A Hurricane On Castle Siege )
3.) 8-bit or 16-bit costumes.
4.) Custom Pokèmon Output Change (Like the Item Output changing [ex. ALL ENTEI])
5.) Goomba confirmed!!!

 

[SvartWolf]

1- +50 character roster
2- a great stage editor with a great number of things like being able to place destroyable walls, mario's pipes and question mark boxes and that blocks that fall with angry faces, donkey kong palms ans ropes, metroid's chozo statues, etc etc etc...
also, lots of official stages with actual VG feelings.. a zelda ALTTP darkworld stage, the comeback of yoshi island, ganplank galleon, etc...
4- Eternal darkness representation, as characters, ATs, stages or anything... also, some really one stand alone character from truly representative third party nintendo franchises.. like simon for castlevania, black mage for final fantasy, ryu for street fighter, megaman for... ehm.. megaman (duh)
5- Some minigames, a nice sub space emmisary adventure, and some other adeventures, much like some kind of kirby superstar....

Oh, and I almost forgot!
6- Downloadable updates aimed for "balance-wise" buffing and nerfing until the more balanced roster is achieved...

 

[VanillaMummy]

1.) More WTF characters.
2.) Some form of Square Enix representation (Chrono or FF6 Character or Black Mage)
3.) Downloadable Content
4.) More online features (headset, rivals, etc.)
5.) Alternate/Costumizable Outfits

 

[Erimir]

1. All my most wanted newcomers (Ridley, Mega Man, Simon Belmont), most wanted veterans + a couple awesome characters that surprise me. Some other 3rd party characters would be awesome too, but my most wanted newcomers are based on being realistic (i.e. Crono and Magus would be sweet, but I find them extremely unlikely)
2. alternate costumes (including cosmetic changes for special moves, i.e. Dr Mario gets pills not fireballs). I am indifferent towards there being functional changes for costumes (i.e. the pills move differently). Partly because it would be annoying if multiple players couldn't all choose the same alternate costume - and if the functional changes were good, you know people would want to. So keeping it cosmetic has its advantages.
3. Some Metroid Prime representation, please
4. Typical improvements to online, as others have said
5. A greatly improved training mode. You know, one that actually trains you. One that can actually help you improve your skills. Obviously training you for a serious tourney would be difficult since that requires human-like AI, but at least some training concerning advanced techniques and so forth.

 

[Shishou]

Geno. Five times.

 

[Aamon]

1. Real alternate costumes.
2. Some improvements on the online mode.
3. At least 35-40 characters.
4. Downloadable content.
5. Ashley, Wolf, and Ridley as newcomers!

 

[HourglassMemory]

If it was absolutely dogmatic about only having Japanese and english languages in the game,
it would shorten the European realease date, and it would teach ignorant children a new language.
More unexpected characters
More stages
The Sound Stage beings an actual orchestra, like Wii music.
Being able to play ragdoll mode ro something, throwing the characters around the stages with your Wiimote.

 

[finalark]

5: (Insert Square Enix character here), it's not going to happen but it would be cool
4: Alternate Costumes, seriously guys, changing the color of Mario's clothes in not an alternate costume.
3: Tony Jones, Magi-Nation, a really obscure GBC RPG. Great game.
2: Multi-Player C-Stick off, I seriously hate that yellow stick...
1: Downloadable content, then you really could never get tired of Brawl.

 

[Phoenix_Dark]

1. Somewhat decent online set up. (If they just gave us name tags, I'd be happy. =/)
2. Some more options to the tournament mode. Call me crazy, but sometimes I'd actually like to set up who fights who myself.
3. Different alternate colors for Sonic. No, I'm not asking for a Shadow skin or anything. Just something that stands out more for team matches.
4. Um... another Fire Emblem character? *cough* Marth *cough* Actually, I'm fine with anyone that isn't slower than Bowser..
5. Can't think of a 5th... Balance I guess, but it already looks like they've been working hard on that.

 

[brawl1994]

headset!!!!

 

[UberBob]

1.Ridley
2.Ridley
3.Ridley
4.Ridley
5.Black Mage (and Ridley)

Headset is a pretty sick idea also

 

[Tank McCannon]

1. Some sort of punishment for the many people who will disconnect from matches when they are getting thrashed by good players. Either have some sort of connection rating next to their name so other people know how often they disconnect from matches, or have Resetti ***** them out the next time they turn on Brawl.

2. No characters from Final Fantasy. Just, no.

3. The ability to add random people you meet in online matches as a friend.

4. Board the F****** Platforms

5. Replace Captain Falcon with Black Shadow.

 

[Viral]

1. An online lobby or game room so that we know what games to join if we want to play with strangers on a whim (eg. gunbound). I'd also hate to limit myself to playing my friends but I'd also hate to join a "random" game only to have the stage set to whichever the stage is the most final destination-esque and all items switched off by the host (and vice versa depending on what kind of game I want to play). I know you can just find what games you want on forums and stuff but that would involve the process of swapping wifi numbers all the time and it's a bit of a chore to do each time I want to play online.

A better online service in general really.

2. Voice/USB Keyboard communication
3. Isaac, Megaman and Bowser JR confirmed. Anyone else would be a great addition too but i'd like to see these 3 in particular.
4. Some balance. I'd really hate to see everyone play the same three or four characters.
5. Downloadable content. Yeah I know that'll never happen but it'd still be a great feature regardless.

 

[ksadkiller]

1.If
2.It
3.Came
4.Out
5.Tomorrow

 

[C.Olimar788]

1. A demo being released at some point between now and Jan. 24th
2. At least a 50 character roster, with plenty of surprising characters
3. Many surprising stage and item additions that NO ONE would expect (Ala Pictochat)
4. More character balance, and no "handicap" characters like Pichu was in Melee
5. (Though it's not gonna happen) Brawl being released on the same date in all 6+1 languages!
