Snake, move over! Lara Croft has every right to be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Lara Croft, a explorer who followed in her deseaced father's footsteps, in search for her "dead" mother, would fit perfectly in SSBB. Why?

1. She has appeared on Nintendo Systems on several occations, such as:

Tomb Raider: Legend(GBA, DS, NGC)
Tomb Raider: Anniversary(Wii)
Tomb Raider: The Prophecy(GBA)
Tomb Raider: Chronicles(GB)
2. The creator and Crystal Dinamics have taken a liking to Nintendo, even Nintendo likes Lara.
3. She could have an original moveset:

A - Right Jab. (2%) [Lara jabs with her right hand.]
AA - Right Jab, Left Swing. (2%, 2%) [After A, Lara Punches with her left fist.]
AAA - Right Jab, Left Swing, Left Heel.(2%, 2%, 4%)[After AA, Lara lightly strikes the opponent with her left heel.]

Foward A- Spining Force.(6%)[Lara strongly kicks the opponent.]
Up A - Axel Launcher.(9%)[With great force, Lara raises her right leg, until, basically she is preforming the splits while standing.]
Down A - Turning Punch.(6%)[Lara spins to her right into a crouching position, and hits the opponent while finishing.]

(Foward) Smash A - Scissor Kick.(13%)[Lara raises a leg to kick, but pulls it back and jumps foward and kicks high with the other, while midar.]
(Up) Smash A - Double Barrel.(15%,10%)[Lara preforms a sideflip-kick aiming upwards.{Very simular to C.Falcon's (Up) Smash A}
(Down) Smash A - Leg Sweep.(Lara crouches and sweeps both of her legs in front of her.]

Midair:
A - Sex Kick.(9%)[Lara brings her left leg in while striking her right foward.]
→A - Siphon Filter. (7%,7%)[Lara spins and kicks forward with both legs.]
←A - Sucker Punch.(10%)[Lara makes her right hand into a fist, swings backwards and hits her opponent with the top of her hand.]
↓A - Backflip.(12%)[Lara preforms a quick backflip, striking the opponent with the top of her feet.]
↑A - Explosive.(9%)[Lara fires a small explosive upwards.
B - Grenade
>B - Dirtbike
^B - Grappling Hook(Tether)
↓B - Rocket Launcher

I can't believe it, that's actually possible.
She would be totally out of place.

Umm... Sorry, as much as we need some big hooter ***** with guns in brawl. I am going to have to say No... Lol
Also, Tomb Raider the movie was total garbage and the games weren't that great either... imo

The original PS games were amazing. Current ones are duds.

She fits the criteria, but I don't think she's as big as an icon as others are.

She'd obviously be one of the biggest icons in Smash(she's still one of the most well known video game characters of all time, and probably registers more with the common man than even Snake or Megaman or Sonic), and she'd fit in better than one'd think. Just no one really likes her as much anymore.

....

Failure.
You are rrreeeaaaallllyyy getting on my nerves. I've noticed you go around claiming threads as "failure", which is just rude. You could AT LEAST explain why you think the way you do and stop spamming my thread. Let's be mature about this, ok?

Thanks, LittleRedCorvette! What do you guys think about the moveset I made?

I'd say she's a more mainstream "icon" than some of the other 3rd party suggestions. She really helped usher video games into the general public as a much-needed femme fatale character. However, I've really gotta agree with her recent fall into obscurity because of her latest crap games (and whatever you say, I loved the movies :p; I'm a sucker for over-the-top films of that genre). All-in-all, I've just got a gut feeling that she's not going to be in, even though I think she'd be a great character and an interesting compliment to Snake.

And to the guy who said she'd be "totally out of place": *throws Snake at him*

EDIT: Gah, missed Little Red Corvette's post. Sorry for repeating, so I'll add something new:

I've gotta say I'm not a fan of your move set. Every single move you suggested is just a copy of some other character's attack (aside from the Fsmash, which I don't quite understand anyway).

Yeah, I still like Lara, and her two buddies XP
But, we have Snake as the bamf with the guns.
Still, if they could of, they should of put her in too.

Edit: And your moveset is lacking, how can you have her not use her pistols!
Is there a no guns in brawl rule, maybe, but if that's so, I can't see her there at all.
Lara=Pistols.

And also, her alt costume could be the little parka she has for cold stages

I'll try to adjust the moveset, but some of the moves for Lara WITHOUT guns was kinda hard. Maybe you could suggest some different moves?

Your obsession with Zelda is... acceptable, okay.
But calling Lara Croft an "angel" is just....

...like...

...*gesticulates wildly*


...needless to say, the idea sucks because Lara Croft sucks.
Read that line as you will.

The reason I called her an "angel" is because it's a parody of "Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness.

That's just your opinion. I can't change it, but thanks...

Sorry to break the news to some of you folks out there, but Lara's way bigger than a very large chunk of the character suggestions, INCLUDING Ridley and Geno, the"angels" of Smashboards (not to mention most of the confirmed characters). She's also got a lot of potential as a character, though I find the posted moveset a bit too similar to Snake's.

However...

I don't know how well she'd fit in SSBB. We've got the explosives/weapons person in Snake, and we've got... other things in Zero Suit Samus. Lara's a bit unusual and (I'd assume) expensive to just arbitrarily place in the game without her having a solid niche.

I'd be surprised if Ms. Croft makes it in, but it really wouldn't bother me if she did.

This is third ****ing party just because she is the main character of another ****ty third party doesnt make her any bigger than Nintendo's no-main characters.

But seriously how much do you think Japan cares about Lara? i cant find the sales figures and for all i know this game could sell very well but... doesn't sound like a good Japanese game to me.

But seriously this is third party characters... if she was 1st party she could have a chance but seriously guys think.

Japan never likes the stuff the west likes, they are so weird. If only they were like the rest of us. They also hate Halo and the Xbox, weird people...

Lara would be an awsome addition, too bad she'll never happen :( and they'll never make a sequal to that movie because Angelina is too busy playing 7th Heaven also she doesn't speak to her dad (Jon Voight) anymore :(

too bad she'll never have a chance because i remember a third party character will only be included if it "has had at least one game on a nintendo system" (good bye master chief) "and was created as a video game character" (good bye naruto, all other anime, and laura croft)
there was a third thing but i forgot

She is a video game character and she has had at least two games on a Nintendo system... but so has A LOT of other characters so that doesn't really matter.

And tell me do you seriously think that Japan are weird because they don't like what the west like!?

I would definatly love to see Lara Croft in SSBB, especially since Tomb Raider is my favorite franchise EVER! I hope to see her join the battle some time, because she kicks butt! :grin:
