I think skull kid is a great character for the game maby up b is levetating up maby b is a moon above him that falls down with great speed or something and that the super smash attack is a very very big moon I liked it if he could make it but his moveset looks very diffucult to me maby he must have a few new powers that he doesn't have in the games (MM OoT TP) at least I'm hoping for a bigger role in the next zelda game for MMSK

I could see skull kid as a sheik clone but in more of a young link->link kind of position. He'd be fast, agile and good for comboing, but they'd make him fall fast, or bad rocovery or something to even it out. They don't need much material for b-moves, being that he is obviously affiliated with dark magic (ya know, those moves that turn you purple in melee...) and its not that hard to make a dark fireball or something, it's not like every move he'll do will be directly related to one of the gqames he's been in.

but alas, i still think he doesnt have much of a chance of making it, thats just a personal opinion, i dont have many facts or witty comments to back it up though...

Only the confirmed characters from LoZ are from TP. They could throw in Skull Kid. A lot of people think that Young Link in Brawl will be Wind Waker style. I think Skull Kid would be great. I thought he was an awesome villan and worthy of Brawl.

Check this out!



I'd figured I'd share this with you Skull Kid supporters. :) I just finished this game model for my portfolio. I'd love to see Skull Kid in Smash Bros, and maybe this is what he'd end up looking like if it happened!

More images of the model are at my site: http://www.chrisgrahamart.com/

Woah, great job on the model! You did a wonderful job with the textures and palette too. You really captured the feel of Brawl's art direction. I dabble in modeling, but I've never taking any formal training so I'm not that good.

Thanks a bunch for the kind words! :)

Dabbling in modeling is something more people should do... tis a fun (though time consuming) hobby :D

Vaati was only in the handheld zelda games, right. I just think that the handhelds were less popular than the console games, and therefore Vaati's chances seem lees than skull kids which seem less than Wolf Link. But alas, i'd love to play a fast skull kid, maybe he could be top tier

vaati was also in the game cube version of 4 sword adventures. honestly, the current zelda cast of Link, Zelda, Sheik, and Ganondorf (which are all confirmed according to game stops magazine Game Informer...Look it up, its on their site) and I can see midna in high elf form. that would be cool...but really, adding 2 more zelda characters is going to make it just like the Mushroom Kingdom universe, and have half of the roster be characters from that.

If Skull Kid would appear in SSBB, he would pwn all! Although he won't have a MM look no more since it's TP version now. But I played TP, and Skull Kid is actually in the game. He's just shorter, blue skin, no mask, glowing eyes, scarecrow hat.

But obviously MM look on Skull Kid, is better.

well just because the loz characters are all twilight based doesn't mean skull kid has to. i mean if windwaker link gets in he sure as hell won't be repping twilight princess. also i have made a skull kid moveset, tell me what you think

Stats-
Height- 3/5
Weight- 2/5
Power- 3/5
Defense- 2/5
Jump- 4/5
Speed- 4/5

B- dart, skull kid produces his flute from OoT and shoots a dart at you. The dart will do 5% damage, but occasionally he will shoot a poison dart that does 5% damage per second for 3 seconds. The chances on darts 60% for regular and 40% for poison.
B^- teleport, skull kid does a flip in the air and teleports in the direction you point the analog stick. Works very similar to shieks teleport except slower and it doesn’t go as far.
BV- wooden puppet, skull kid produces his horn from TP and calls forth a wooden puppet, the puppet walks back and forth on the platform he is summoned on. If the puppet hits someone it topples over on the person, immobilizing him from anywhere between 2 and 5 seconds, depending on how fast the player can get the puppet off of him. The longer the person is on the ground the more damage he takes. Damage is 4% per second. Players can strike the puppet while he is moving, knocking him back. Player can also not be attacked while on the ground. After player knocks puppet off of him it breaks into 5 pieces which disapear. Move cannot be used in the air. Skull kid cannot summon another puppet until the first one is either knocked off the stage or topples onto a player
B>- curse, skull kid places a random curse on the palyer. List of curses include
Shrinking player for 10 seconds
Turning player into a deku scrub for 10 seconds. If turned into a deku scrub, player can only shoot out deku nuts as his b move until he turns back.
Slowing player for 5 seconds
Poisoning player for 2% damage per second for 5 seconds
Resversing player’s movements for 5 seconds
Skull kid cannot cast another curse untill the first one wears off

Final smash- apocolypse, skull kid wishes the moon to crash into the earth or rather the stage. A moon appears in the backround and decends onto the stage. Player can avoid an instant ko by killing skull kid before the moon crashes, which is 10 seconds from when the move is used.


Why skull kid should get in- he is a recurring LoZ character, appearing in OoT, majoria’s mask, twilight princess, and the LoZ manga series. He was the main villian in majoria’s mask, and had his plan succeeded, he would have most certainly caused the extinction of every race on whatever planet termina is on. Since majoria’s mask he has faded into relative obscurity, but then again so have allot of characters that got into smash.

yah, i mean i started playing ocarana of time a few days ago and i am dieing to get majoria's mask now. and yes, skull kid is an underrated character who, had his plan succeeded, would have done more damage then gannondorf ever could do. i mean, sure gannondorf trys to rule the world, but skull kid just plain destroys it. he's like the doomsday (superman villian, not event) of the LoZ universe

There will only be three Zelda characters. Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf. I don't know why everyone is expecting WW Link or Skull kid to be in this game. You guys sound spoiled when you want more Zelda characters. I mean it took Kirby around eight years to finally get another character (Metaknight) in his group. And some characters like Pit, Ice Climbers, and Capt. Falcon are probably going to be by themselves on the roster. Seriously, I think three is enough for the Zelda team.

Though I will admit, I am rooting for Midna a little. She is the most respectable partner Link has ever had in a really long time. Not to mention Sakurai is going with the Twilight theme. Just like he is going with the Jungle Beat theme for DK, just like the Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance theme with Ike, and just like the Ruby theme with Pokemon.

i think zelda deserves more then 3 characters considering how It is widely considered one of the most influential video game franchises ever created, and has earned a spot as one of Nintendo's flagship franchises alongside such notable series as Mario, Metroid, Donkey Kong and Pokémon. As of February 2007, The Legend of Zelda series has 13 official games (Phantom Hourglass being the 14th in Japan) released which have sold over 47 million units. i think one of nintendo's biggest franchises deserve more slots then IC, Pit, or captain falcon combined

Putting in WW Link would only take away power and skill from Twilight Link. Do you want another clone incident to happen? Wolf Link is at least completely different, but I still think three is a large number for one group.

I mean Mario only has 4! And he is probably going to stay at 4. Don't give me the Yoshi, DK, or Wario crap about them being with Mario. They are on their own now, why else would their symbols be different?

There isn't another worthy enough character to match up with the current three from Zelda. Skull Kid would just be a joke character, he wouldn't fit in with the others. You guys can't be serious when you say you want Skull Kid to be in. Midna, Wolf Link, or both are understandable since they have a variety of skills. But Skull Kid did nothing but put a mask on. He never really did anything spectacular when you fought him.

Brawl is meant for the best, would you really classify Skull Kid to be as legendary as Mario, Link, or Samus? I hope you wouldn't think he is....

He had Majora's mask on. Meaning he has endless possinbilities to his powers. Skull Kid would make a very awesome unorthidox character.


And when you think about it, all Mario does in SSB is punch, kick, throw fireballs, and whips out a cape. Sounds like some "legendary" moves alright.

ok 1, the only reason y. link was a clone is because of time constrants. he could easily be made into his own character, and i'll prove it to you by posting this moveset

Y. Link moveset-

^B- chicken jump, YL pulls a chicken out of his vest, holds it above his head, and does the chicken jump from OoT. very similar to peach's ^B
B- slingshot, works similar to fox's blaster except with more lag.
B>- Deku Nut, link throws a deku nut at the opponent, stunning him for 3 seconds
BV- bombchu, works very similar to link's bomb except when released it does not remain stationary. it moves forward. works exactly how it did in OoT, except with a shorter fuse

final smash- song of storms, YL pulls out his ocarana and plays the song of storms, bringing a fierce storm onto the stage. there are 3 elements to the storm

1- wind, makes firing projectiles impossible and slows movement speed
2- rain, weakens jump height and reduces traction on land
3- lightning, works like when you get hit with a bomb at over 200% damage, aka instant kill


ok next thing is you need to get off your high horse. we all know twilight princess was an amazing game, but it doesn't mean we should forget about every other game in the zelda series, thats just insane. sure the main 3 will carry their TP look, but why can't we have a forth guy reminding us of the series amazing past. also are you saying that mario is equal to LoZ, why does mario get 4 and zelda get 3, they are both equal as far importance to nintendo goes.

and no skull kid is not as legendary as mario or link who are the MAIN characters in the series. but as far as characters out of the LoZ triforce, he is the most notable and the most legendary considering he almost crashed the moon into the world. and who says wolf link would halve a varity of skills. minda yes but wolf link no. thats why minda was always with wolf link, well that and she was his guide

Think about it. Link's greatest (or at the very least most under-rated) villain, in SSBB with his fellow Zelda characters Link, Gannondorf, and Zelda.

Since there is such an eerie style about him, Skull Kid should have an equally eerie Move Set.
I don't exactly know how that sould work though.

Any Skull Kid fans out there? Help me create a Move set for this great character.

I know crashing the moon onto the arena MUST be apart of it. After all, it's what Skull Kid does.
The problem is that Skull kid wasn't the villian, Majora's Mask was.

i doubt it, plus it's kind of like a venom symbiote thing. it chances depending on the personality, and skull kid had just the right personality. plus he caught HMS off guard. a few days later and you would never be able to get that mask

Visiting from above.
Don't double post.

If you're still around, that's an amazing model of Skull Kid. Like someone else had said, it really looks like part of the cast. Kudos.

I like your idea of a side B. What if you hit someone while they were falling short a ledge before they could up B? Evil...

How about Tatle and Tael being sent to grab weapons/items from other players as a side B. In the event opponents have no weapons or items, Tatle and Tael should hold the opponents feet, slowing them down...

C'mon Nintendo, make it happen.
