Ghost Characters?

[OmegaXXII]

or better yet, if there are two ghosts dead from a 4 player game, maybe they would be able to fight each other? lol too good

Never thought about it but I think that that idea might just actually work for brawl

 

[Banks]

then you could have ghost fights, and if they kept track of that score, everyones a winner

except the ghost loser...

Hmm, sounds like my little idea seems to have hit a soft spot for all you smashers. I smell some potential if it can win over you guys so easily. Of course its starting to sound a little bit complicated with all you guys adding to the idea (my personal fav is the ability to fight other ghosts) Is there any chance for the developers to see this idea? Thanks for all the good feedback.

This a good idea cause i had to wait 10 minutes for a team match to end. this would give players something to do.

 

[DJ Napps]

Im definitely for it if it can be turned off or on. Otherwise, itll just be annoying or "unfair"

also, if Bomberman is in it, he could 'hi-jack' ppl and temporarily take over control.

otherwise, good idea

Why should they take it out for tournies? If they take ghosts out for tournies they better take Marth vs. Peach/Mewtwo match ups out to. Phryck I hate Marth... Anyway I could see this making it in. A ghost psyching out an enemy for the win? Priceless.

 

[Caael]

^^^

Heheh, yeah. In melee, when i'm dead I have to physically psyche them out by dancing aroudn and leaping in front of the TV. Now all I have to do is move my fingers and thumbs : D

 

[Heegu]

I think this isn't so good idea, because the ghosts would be just so annoying for the other players. The dead ones should be able to do something to pass the time, but not screw around and ruin the game for others.

 

[squaminator]

do it! ^ this guys a noob. ignore him.


only in FFAs though.

I find Marth annoying, can I take him out?

This is an asbolutely epic concept. I don't know exactly how it would be implemented in team battles, although i imagine you'd be a ghost until you pressed start, and that you'd likely be dead for a longer pause than the normal respawn, and THEN spawn as a ghost. But this is an awesome concept. The first character that came to mind was captain falcon for some reason

 

[choban08]

i like the idea but i think it should be more like the ghosts in bomberman 64 where if you died you could acually mess with the people. In bomberman you could jump on there back and slowthem down just a little bit mabe something like that, but of course you would be able to turn it off

 

[Mysteryfox1]

I think it's a good idea but I prefer having one more character but if it's simple to develop then it's okay with me however personal entrances for the characters that look better for me if I must choose

 

[Dylan_Tnga]

Wow, terrible idea. Try not dying, then you wont need a ghost to amuse yourself. Instead of running around as a ghost you should sit and think long and hard why you got owned so quickly and improve yourself.

think about it, though. Maybe your best game will be when you're dead taunting people I'm likin' those mind games. Besides, what if you get double-teamed to hell and you're gone while there's still a full game going on?

 

[Blazer]

Maybe in like 99 stock matches people go for you right off since your the best in the group. They end up ewith about 25 stock while you have to sit and wait. Now is that fun? It's never happened to me before because all my friends together can't beat me but if it did it would be really boring.

Who the hell plays 99 stock matches?!?!

 

[BDawgPHD]

Just think about it. On the entertainment level, this is awesome. People might die on purpose, or at least more willingly kamikaze, just to be a ghost and mess with people

 

[ToyzSoldier]

Wow, sounds awesome. People should have like special ghost costumes with like Mario being a zombie with rotting flesh and a missing eye. And Link's a floating spirit w/ that flame looking thingy thats white that ghosts have, and Kirby will have a white sheet over his body. And the last player alive is like WTF!? But then, that would just result in the winner screen.

As far as I could tell, there weren't any threads with this idea in it, but if there is, my bad. Anyway, on to my fantabulous idea. Now in free for all battles, don't you just hate it when your the first one to lose all of your lives. Say its a five stock match with three other of your best buds, but somehow, you lose all your lives when everyone else is on their fourth stock. And now you have to wait until the match is won, and that's going to be a long wait. So what if, after you've lost all your lives, you can respawn as a "ghost character." This ghost character can still linger around the stage and such while your other buddies finish off the match. So no more bored waiting after you lose all your lives in a free for all. You can just respawn as a transparent version of your character and just screw around until the match is over. Granted you can do all things you could normally do, but your attacks will do nothing to anybody or anything. You're literally a ghost on the battlefield. So at least you have something to do while you wait. So what do yall think? Yes, no, maybe so.

I think this is a TERRIFIC IDEA. It would be very fun but it's not like I'm the first one to go in my circles *whistles*...but I love this idea.

Kinda like that thing in Mario Kart 64, after you die, you linger around as a bomb as a final chance to get your foe.

Very original post!! nice!

 

[Leobenmc]

Amazing idea! Ghosts fighting each other sounds amazing...and I think their interaction with the players should be limited, but not zero.

The following is assuming that you have an option to turn Ghost characters off...
I was thinking that these Ghosts are completely translucent - their attacks have no impact on the characters whatsoever. BUT, what if they change the environment?

Take for example Pit's level (with the destructible platforms - seen in Trailer 2).
Say you've been thrown upwards by Fox's US - and you're about to land on a platform, readying your finger on the R button to Tech - and suddenly the platform is knocked out by a Yoshi who wasn't good enough. You airdodge instead, leaving yourself at Fox's mercy!

Ooo and what if Ghosts can throw away items? They can't use the items against real players - only ghost ones. So if a Ghost picks up a Pokeball, it's in the "Ghost Realm" now - unavailable for your Real game.

...sorry, just brainstorming - excellent initial idea!

 

[180OP]

Wow it gets better with Ghosts being able to fight other ghosts.
I doubt it will be included in Brawl though. I bet even Nintendo hasn't thought of this.

People don't want to just sit there while the action goes on...they wanna play DUH!

 

[mista_mista]

Cool idea as long as you can turn it off. It reminds me of the bombcarts in mariokart 64 except you can't attack.

 

[Mr.GAW]

I was worried you wanted the ghost characters to be able to do damage.

Anyways, this sounds like a fine idea, I get bored too sometimes.

 

[Ekul]

That would be so fun, I might suicide just to annoy people and taunt them. And it would be sweet for Machinima... Also, if you could jump an infinite amount of time, that would be sweet.

And what if on training mode, you could turn your enemies/self into ghost(s) on the menu? That'd be sweet too.

 

[super.smash.camel]

thats about the most awesome idea EVER!!! expecially the bit that ghost can fight each other.
wood it be possible to show nintendo this idea??? it rocks!!!!!!

Kinda remind me about Zelda Four Swords Adventure. When you're dead in Battle mode, your body stays here. You can move around the stage VERY SLOWLY (except if you ask an alive character to carry you) and you can punch the ground to activate traps. Hehehe.
