New Characters for Project M Discussion Thread (Voting Closed)

[Anti Guy]

Here's something else to consider... if the PMBR was going to put Pichu in, they probably would've done so already. It doesn't make sense to leave out a former veteran out of this big release. If anything, they'd probably only add new characters after 3.0, if they do at all.

Hm maybe pokemon trainer could be an interesting addition. perhaps he could throw pokemon out who are a lot less OP than when using a pokeball.. they could do attacks that deal minor damage like dedede's minions or the pikmin. Another way he could use pokemon is specifically for particular moves..

For example for up B a flying pokemon could pop out and help him glide. Or for a smash attack a fighting type pokemon could pop out and hit an opponent with iron fist or something and then go away again. I'm not sure how to describe this better, hopefully some of you get what I'm trying to say.

Another move could involve throwing an empty pokeball at any character which would capture the characters (the more damaged the longer theyre trapped) and then you could use that pokeball to throw at people or you could throw it off the edge. I duno if that would work, just an idea.

I dont know what other Ideas would be good... I don't think it would make sense for pokemon trainer to just have his own kicks and punches.. Pokemon trainers never fight their own battles lol.

DK would also be a good base for Goron Link. I guess the only weird thing there is what is he - a heavier DK? DK's already such a beast, I dunno if the game could handle him getting his own Ganondorf.

MM Link is one of those guys I'm really hoping gets into Smash 4, cause I can't ever see the PMBR doing that character.

Although here's a good way for the PM team to use the remaining 5 slots:

Deku Link
Goron Link
Zora Link
Young Link
Fierce Deity Link

In this way all the Links.

I know im the one that brought up this awesomeness but that would not be a good idea lol. I would rather them work with a different character than take all the extra character slot by putting in more characters from zelda. If they could turn it into the whole pokemon trainer deal then hell yea im down, but seeing as they split all the pokemon up for a reason it just seems unlikely that it would work out having all masks as one character

And n another thing. I think that if they do fierce deity link then he should definitely be a final smash

also there is plenty of time between now and the release date for pichu to be finished towards the release of the update

You're really digging deep now...

Doesn't hurt to be hopeful. Hopefully Pichu is a character the pmbr could use with a shorter timeframe. Or Lyn. lol.

Awesome video ! *-*

How so? 7 new characters plus all the other new stuff is an extremely heavy workload. Compared to the other 2 Melee cuts Pichu is clearly the lowest priority so it makes sense that he'd not necessarily make it to this release. Besides, being more divisive means they need to spend more time discussing before they ultimately decide to add him

If more characters are added it will be after 3.0
I wasn't expecting even more characters on this version.

The way they introduced Samus was amazing though. I was like WAT WHERES SAMUS! And then BAM!

PMBR best troll.

 

[Tofer Dallah]

Same there ! x3

And about Pichu, I'm still scared he will maybe not able to be on the game and I'm find that unfair... I don't care about the nomber of Pokemon. He are a veterant and he have a lot of fan.

I wish we will find a way to ensure his place on PM ! ><

 

[Starcutter]

dude now I'm so hype for Dec 9! I mean really, so soon? wow.

 

[BronzeGreekGod]

I think they're hiding something though... they didn't show her screw attack at all. I don't know what it could be but they're leaving something out.

Edit: also one dissapointing part is kirby's hammer in the air. it still works like the crappy brawl version
Why doesn't he spin like in melee!

They demonstrated the screw attack towards the end of her segment. It comes after she uses her dair on ZSS I believe? It starts to fade out, but it's there.

 

[Jade_Rock55]

Samus has a stance change so does that mean Gannondorf can use a sword with the moveset he has now?!

I'm not sure if they could program specific pokemon to specific moves, but that would be cool.

other ideas I have had are him riding his bike, using the old rod for grabs and maybe an up special, looking through his bag (probably would work for dtilt), planting bait that causes opponents to sleep apon stepping, and throwing rocks like he did in the safari zone. my friend also came up with the idea of red stunning the opponent with a flash from the pokedex, but not too sure how well that would work. all without using pokeballs.


and who says Red can't do a couple punches or kicks? there's been many implications of trainers fighting alongside their pokemon throughout the games, we just never see it since the game's based around battling.

Oh please. Imagine how anyone voting on Sonic characters feels.

 

[TopTierPichu]

Oh please. Imagine how anyone voting on Sonic characters feels.

were people really wanting sonic characters, isnt one too fast?

 

[Tofer Dallah]

The difference about Pichu and any other character is that... Pichu is a veterant. He was on Melee, so in my opinion, it enought to be a priority. :x

 

[Starcutter]

no you're just too slow *shot*

hey, you know those description things in the OP? I'll GLADLY make one for red. don't worry, I know his faults, too.

 

[Sobreviviente]

Pokemon Trainer should be all about rocks really.

 

[Starcutter]

Pokemon Trainer should be all about rocks really.

yeah but no....

 

[TopTierPichu]

i thought we already said pokemon trainer was not gonna make it, especially since he would be the ninth character along with Pichu

 

[Starcutter]

but.... but.... he's way more everything then pichu

Why not make Pichu like he was in SD remix ?

if there's an 8th pokemon character it should be pokemon trainer.

that said, there's a huge chance we won't get an eighth pokemon character.

 

[Tofer Dallah]

Lalalala...

Doc have a costume and both of Young Link anf Doc have many move on their sucessor.

Pichu have nothing...

 

[Starcutter]

Pichu have nothing...

I'm on mobile so I can't post a picture, but...

with goggles

 

[Tofer Dallah]

I talk about gameplay ! x)

 

[TopTierPichu]

Lalalala...

Doc is an alt costume that fits in the rules of alt costumes as PM Mario is a combination of Doc and melee Mario, young link was converted to toon link, combined the two movesets

 

[Sobreviviente]

Pokemon Trainer is technically a cutted char in PM.
In smash4 he is considered a veteran, there is exactly two empty spaces in the roster (him and pichu), and even there is a line dedicated exclusively for pokemon characters, except for 2 places. Come on, is destiny.

I really dont want new characters in PM, but if i will pick someone is him.

I don't think Pikachu players would appreciate having Pichu's self-damaging mechanics incorporated into his character...

 

[arcticfox8]

In Warchamp's AMA he said Pichu is still an option and that 3rd party characters are off the table. http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/1qxxpx/im_warchamp7_of_the_pmbr_webmaster_playtester/
