New Characters for Project M Discussion Thread (Voting Closed)

[PseudoTypical]

You are saying it as if the character wouldn't be votes on. Obviously community would vote on the character that sounds and looks best like we are for this thread. Nonetheless, it was only an idea. You would be surprised how many talented artists lurk these forums, let alone the P:M website. I would also say their would likely be requirements to meet like obviously stated before (no sonic fan characters or fan characters of any sort). Again, just a thought.

Don't get me wrong; I appreciate your idea, and I'm sure some people could design plausible characters. I just don't see it paying off versus an established character, especially considering that there'd be plenty of bad ones to go through. I get that fan characters wouldn't be accepted, but you know people are going to try anyway.

Also if the same fans who are making the crappy fan characters are also the ones voting then the winner will end up being just as crappy.

I'll just outrightly say that it's a horrible idea.

I can see your point. I mostly made the suggestion for the sake of P:M having an official character of their own in which they could do anything they wanted to it and not have to worry about meeting ridiculous requirements. Just a passing thought.

At least you are being honest. But note that I said it might've sounded ridiculous from the start. I'll withdraw my suggestion.

Didn't think of that, and it would totally happen...

It does make sense, which is why a lot of mods do it. It just probably isn't in this one's best interest. I don't blame you for saying it, humor aside.

Agreed. And thank you for respectively responding to the message rather than tell me I outright had horrible taste in even mentioning it.

So, don't know if anybody read my original post about Zant or not. If not, and you feel like doing so, click the little arrow in the quote box to be whisked away to the plan.

ZANT

Okay, now, having read, seen, or at least peeked at that, I wanted to make an update to what I'd thought up.

MAD REVERSALS

So, we all know that Zant is goofy. A card. Bat**** crazy. With that in mind, a friend of mine and myself loved the idea of Zant's smashes being reversals. Just ****ing goofy moves. The idea would be that the starting animation for Zant's smashes and tilts would be the same (f-tilt would be similar to f-smash, etc.), but Zant would suddenly switch up the direction in which he was attacking. So, you'd see him wind up a Forward Smash, only to have him hit behind him. Here's what I had in mind specifically.

F-Smash: Zant bends backwards in an impossible manner, unleashing a strong stab with his blades.
U-Smash: Zant lifts his blades upward similar to his forward tilt, but quickly brings them down on each side of him, pushing opponents away.
D-Smash: Zant lifts his leg as if he's about to stomp-dance on the opponent, but rotates so that he's facing upward and kicks hard with a magical force.

Dash Attack: (I felt like this could be changed to something goofier for the dude) Zant trips and falls, yelling wildly and kicking his legs out, hitting in a manner similar to Luigi's dashing attack, but with more knockback and less damage.

Zant stuff

I love it when people come up with ideas for characters who have very little spotlight. Though Zant I honestly don't find interesting, on top of the fact we have plenty of Zelda reps. I respect your taste though. You have a generally well thought out moveset that sounds interesting and fun.

 

[Fortress]

Zant's off-the-walls, no-medication, ****ing loco, man. He'd be bound to be fun. He's like the Weegee of the Legend of Zelda franchise.

Also, did you check out my original Zant post? It's meatier, wackier, and the one you just saw is just an update to the original.

He still doesn't peak my interest though. I personally found him a let down as a Zelda villain, much like Demise.

 

[Fortress]

Demise was pretty dull, and to be honest, Zant's plans, goals, and ambitions were pretty cookie-cutter and uninteresting. But, man, if he wasn't wacky. His boss fight was just humorous. I giggled more than once during that battle.

Groose x Impa forevah.

GROOSE FOR 3.0.​

It's now confirmed along with Sandbag.

 

[Chzrm3]

Give Groose Gdorf's moves, and you guys can do whatever you want with Ganondorf. I'll be too busy playing Groose all day every day to care.

(I actually have a Groose model swap on Gdorf already, it's pretty awesome. :D)

I've been on Smashboards for nearly a year, and I didn't know you could do that until now. Thank you.

The idea of reverse smashes is intriguing, but it would likely be difficult to balance as it's quite a (radical?) mechanic to implement.

All the years of pretending to enjoy pain is finally let loose. Endure the wrath of Sandbag.

I agree, and that's what I thought, too. It'd be so weird, only Roy has a true-blue reversal, and he can't just whip it out on the spot like my idea for Zant would call for. I just thought it would go so well with the dude's oddball character.

And you're welcome lol.

Just give him his cool cannon, and make him play like he was in Snake's Final Smash for the entire match.

 

[Chzrm3]

Picking Groose will also override whatever music would've played with his theme, regardless of the stage.

Bonus points if they remaster every single song in the game so that it has a "Groose" version where it sounds really derpy. And they get a gold star if they remaster every song ever made in the world, so that if you mod your files to have Compendium's "Breathing space", you can still add in a Groose-appropriate remix.

This seems pretty feasible, maybe like 20 hours tops. TBH I'm not sure why it wasn't in 2.6.

 

[Solbliminal]

You can mock me for this, but I personally enjoyed Ghirahim. Groose was okay, but the rest of the game as you said just doesn't exist.

 

[Fortress]

Ghirahim was the man. Absolutely fabulous.

 

[Solbliminal]

Ghirahim was the man. Absolutely fabulous.

Agreed. Although he looked fantastic wearing that cloak / cape of his. Wish he would've actually fought wearing that badassery.

I want a Sandbag character whose only ability is to DI.

Like Pichu?

 

[Chzrm3]

Yeah, Ghirahim was a really well-done villain.

Honestly, I loved a lot of stuff about Skyward Sword. There's this one scene where Link is listening to these big flying whales sing some song that he needs, and he's kind of looking up at them in wonder and he can't help but smile... I really like that scene. It made me feel that this Link was a young guy on an incredible journey and wasn't above enjoying it. It was a nice juxtaposition to the jaded, war-torn heroes that video games usually give us, who don't blink when incredible stuff is happening all around them.

I also didn't play Skyward Sword, though. My little brother did, and I just watched. That could be why I loved it so much - I would enjoy the cutscenes and the atmosphere, and then when my brother was back-tracking and trying to get tad-tones or something silly, I'd do something else. XD So the entire game felt more like a Zelda anime to me.

 

[Solbliminal]

Two things that I agree with. Only part that is missing is Groose.

 

[red9rd]

What sucks is that they said for the next game they want to follow the path of skyward sword and change what makes the zelda series.

Not really, most recent interviews have said that they're testing the open world waters with Link Between Worlds and want to do more of the same in the next console one. According to Aonuma reading Miiverse posts opened his eyes to how much people hate the recent hand holding. More Majora's Mask/Wind Waker less Skyward Sword. Of course I'll only believe it when I see it, but still, one can hope.

How does that suck? If they improve upon what they did in Skyward Sword, it would be completely fine. Ditch stamina, ditch shield health, more Groose and Ghirahim, instantly awesome. Of course that all could be achieved with Groose alone.

+1 Votes(Organized in Priority order):
Ganondorf / Black Shadow
Dark Samus: (Not as likely to be in SSB4 as Ridley, and I like the concept of a moderate heavier, faster Samus Clone)
Wolf Link: (Moveset would be a combination of Twilight Princesses moveset, and Ameratasu's moveset from Okami (Like Lucaryu))
Sukapon: Unique character, could use moves from every mech in its game, like Lucas/Ness does with Party Members
Paper Mario: I just really want to see paper Mario

I didn't like giving Mario and Zelda more Characters, But the Wolf Link idea would be very unique (Could borrow moves from other wolves in gaming to).

I'm just a huge Paper Mario fan.

I -would- like to see a character with a moveset inspired by Character Action/Hack 'n' Slash (What ever you want to call their genre) games like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising, Wonderful 101, etc, because they all have somewhat similar movesets (Although Dante from DMC3 and 4 should be the biggest influence on the moveset), but I can't think of a character other that Ike that would fit this playstyle. Except Ike, but then where would Ike's movest go? Ganondorf? That would go over really well, right? Probably not... If anyone else has an idea for who this character could be (Pretty much the only requirement is "Has a BroadSword"), I would give this character a +1 vote over Paper Mario.

Another Thing I'd like to see is a Belmont as a Slower Sheik Clone but I'm pretty sure there is nothing about Castlevania in Brawl.

More change is good. Skyward Sword + Twilight Princess's Epona, Secret Sword Techniques and Hyrule = YES!!!!

I actually bought that picture from the person who drew it at a con. She did a version that was small enough to be slipped into your Wii case, so it actually looks like it's a Wii game. 8)

NO! I demand a full scale mod in which Groose is the playable character and we get to play the entire game through his ridiculous version of the story in a similar manner to Lion King 1½.
