Knuckle joe for brawl

[Nietendodude]

Knuckle Foe is from the kirby super star and other kirby titles .

He has awsome attacks and skill for SSBB. A guy with snappy moves and snappy attitude. He dresses cool and he even has a cool haircut. He is kinda like a fighter type. Unfortunately I can't get a picture of him so I hope you know who he is.

 

[primusfan]

Can you atleast describe him? What he looks like, what moves he has??

 

[Nietendodude]

He can do upper cuts, rapid jabs, and other marshal arts moves. Also he wears a blue jumpsuit, white gloves on, and blonde hair.

no one EVER bothers to use google search, do they?

knuckle joe was an exremley minor character in kirby. why would he appear in smash?
although I can actualy see him as an item or a...helper character?

 

[primusfan]

Ah, I remember now. I havent played Kirby Superstar in a long time. I guess he could be cool. His main moveset is punches and kicks. Maybe it would work out.

He's not a EXTREMELY minor characters. They're more wimper characters than knukle joe anyway.

 

[primusfan]

Yeah, he might be better as an item. His chances of being a playable character are beyond slim.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Gim > All other helpers.

But I still love Knucke joe

 

[Nietendodude]

Yeah, he might be better as an item. His chances of being a playable character are beyond slim.

How in the world can he be an item?

I mean come on what is wrong with knuckle joe.

 

[primusfan]

That's like asking how all the Pokemon can be items. He could come out of *something* and start attacking the nearest opponent.

 

[Nietendodude]

that still makes no sense to me how he can't just be a playable character if he has good potential.

 

[phish-it]

^^ He may have the potential of a fighter, but not as a character is what they're saying.

 

[primusfan]

that still makes no sense to me how he can't just be a playable character if he has good potential.

What's so hard to understand? We're not saying he wouldnt be a good fighter, we're just saying that his chances of being a playable character are almost nothing.

 

[Nietendodude]

Why? give me that at least.

 

[primusfan]

Because he was a very minor character who only appeared in a few Kirby games.

 

[Nietendodude]

And other nintendo characters only had one game

 

[Nietendodude]

An pit was only in one game and they put him back and probably know what your going to say to this

 

[primusfan]

Yeah, thats different though. He was a major character who starred in his own game. Knuckle Joe was a sidekick who didnt even appear in the game that much. And I own Kirby Superstar so don't say he didn't.

 

[Nietendodude]

I knew you were going to say that and peach barely did any thing in mario games and I just think they should add more characters for the not so popular franchises.

 

[primusfan]

And other nintendo characters only had one game

• Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and Peach are all in the entire Mario series (excluding a few)
  
• I know there's been more than one Fire Emblem
  
• Kirby has lots of games
  
• Samus has a whole series

and so on, and so forth...

 

[GenG]

I knew you were going to say that and peach barely did any thing in mario games and I just think they should add more characters for the not so popular franchises.

But Peach is one of the main characters to the Mario franchise, while Knuckle Joe is a simple enemy like koopas and goombas who hasn't anything to say about the Kirby franchise (do you remember Kirby Fighter?) and about the Nintendo history.

 

[Nietendodude]

I know It's just that I think that I think meta knight or the possibilty king dedede won't be enough.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

If King DeDeDe is added (of which there's pretty much a 100% chance), then that would mean there are 3 characters repping the Kirby franchise. I'm guessing that all franchises (excluding Mario, Zelda, Pokemon and maybe Fire Emblem(it may have up to 4 IMO due to how many different charcters there are)) will have no more than 3 characters. So I really don't think Knuckle Joe has a chance, especially since the 3rd Kirby spot is reserved for DeDeDe.

 

[parrothead]

Here are more pictures of him:

 

[Stupid_Dumper]

Knuckle Joe
B: Hadoken/Kamehameha
Would work like samus' & Mewtwo's B except you woudn't be able to keep the amount of energy charged, so kinda like Marth & Roys B.
Smash B: (Haven't come up with a name)
He would rush sideways while doing sort of an uppercut kick, knocking the enemy upwards (so like c. falcon and ganondorfs sidways b cept it always does the uppercut thing)
Up B: Shoryuken
Would charge upwards with a flaming fist (So kinda like roys up B)
Down B: Item Counter
Would wait with his hand out, if a non-energy projectile (missles, bombs, arrows, etc.) hits him, he throws them back at the same speed.

His moves would pwn

 

[Starwarrior-Kirby]

Actually Knuckles Joe has alot of potential. He wasn't a enemy in the series either. The guy you copy the abilty from to make him into a helper was a caveman like dude. Plus Knuckles Joe also showed in the Kirby Right back At Ya anime. Which not many of the characters from the games were in it. Plus he is a popular character among the Kirby fandom.

 

[parrothead]

Here is a better moveset:

B: Smash Punch

Forward + B: Spin Kick

Down + B: Diving Kick

Up + B: Rising Break

Super Smash move: That beam attack he used in that Kirby anime episode, Masher 2.0.

Taunt: Rubs his finger underneath his nose.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Knuckle Joe needs love

Spoiler

altough gim is far better

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

Ewww... I really don't like his anime makeover... his Kirby Super Star look is WAY better...

Off Topic: Is there any relation between Knuckle Joe and the Mega Man series' Sniper Joe?

 

[xianfeng]

His superstar sprite sheet ^

He's like generic so no and Plasma Whip is cooler

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

Bugzy pwns all! But yeah, no generic enemy types as playables...

 

[Iggy K]

He's going super saiyan...
As much as I love Knuckle Joe, he's just a generic enemy that has done nothing for the Kirby series.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

He's not a EXTREMELY minor characters. They're more wimper characters than knukle joe anyway.

So what?He is just another freaking power up for Kirby,just a generic enemy.

How in the world can he be an item?

I mean come on what is wrong with knuckle joe.

1.Minor
2.Generic
3.Kinda Ugly
4.Limited Space in Brawl for Generics

He can be an item,just like Re-dead,Like Like,Goomba,and Octoroc.

that still makes no sense to me how he can't just be a playable character if he has good potential.

So what if he has potential,that doesn't mean he has good recognition,that's just like asking to put waddle dee in brawl...i rather have a goomba.>_<

An pit was only in one game and they put him back and probably know what your going to say to this

How old are you anyway?Have you ever played Kid Icarus?He was the star of his own game,and a **** good one at that,not to mention his weapon possibilities are very high,they even made an artical about him in Famitsu Magazine.

Kid Icarus was one of the greatest Nintendo games of all time.Sorry,but your comparison fails.

I knew you were going to say that and peach barely did any thing in mario games and I just think they should add more characters for the not so popular franchises.

Umm,peach is he damsil in destress,she played an important part in the Mario Franchise,and she is in preety much every Mario game.

I know It's just that I think that I think meta knight or the possibilty king dedede won't be enough.

We don't even know if DeDeDe is going to make the cut,and why wouldn't it be enough??Because Mario has alot and Zelda has alot doesn't mean anything,i mean,they are two of the most world known game series ever,how should i know.

Actually Knuckles Joe has alot of potential. He wasn't a enemy in the series either. The guy you copy the abilty from to make him into a helper was a caveman like dude. Plus Knuckles Joe also showed in the Kirby Right back At Ya anime. Which not many of the characters from the games were in it. Plus he is a popular character among the Kirby fandom.

1.Sakurai Stated NO ANIME CHARACTERS IN BRAWL!!! That show sucked anyway.If anything,it only further hinders his chances to make the cut.

2.He has little to no recognition,therefor,little to no potential.

3.Helper dude?What the hell does that make anything more significant.

4.Your argument is over


Just to clear that up..now in addition to the majority of responses,what else do you have to add for this insignificant character?

*Waits*

 

[Brawlmatt202]

Knuckle Joehas gained popularity, since being in the anime, so I think he'd be neat.

Again, this is mostly out of my love for Kirby.

Well, I've played Superstar, and I distinctly remember him appearing as an enemy. I don't remember a caveman-like dude.

Edit:
From a Kirby Super Star ROM. That fellow is clearly Knuckle Joe with a different palette applied. The helper is a palette switch.

Knuckle Joe looks cool in that shot.

 

[Zebesian Pirate]

Knuckle Joe looks cool in that shot.

Yeah, he does rather. It's a pity he's only been in one Kirby platformer so far, but it looks like he'll be in this new one for Wii. I much prefer him to Boxin' (a mole or shrew or something with boxing gloves on) which have been the more recent carriers of the Fighter ability.

I quite liked that one moveset that parrothead posted. I think that belongs in the first post with a few pictures.

Oh yeah, those guys. Yeah, Knuckle Joe is definitely cooler then thos guys!

That Kirby Wii game... I'd love to find out more about it. They haven't talked about it much ever since... Well, 2005, now that I think about it.

 

[blayde_axel]

BTW, Kid Icarus has two games.

I was actually thinking of Knuckle ow myself... just cause I was a fanboy of the fighter ability ten years ago. But still... not that good of a choice.

How about as an Assist Trophy? Hammer Bro is one, so why no Knuckle Joe?
