I don't quite follow your color coding, but the first thing I'm going to point out for you is that you can only have 5 full votes (+1). You'll have to change one of them to a 1/2 vote.
That singular occurrence in which a singular Pichu used a powerful move in the anime probably carries less canon weight than the games, in my opinion, but hear me out, that's a small gripe and I'd rather discuss this part:
Now you're bringing up some stuff that I can get behind a little more enthusiastically. I like that you want to keep his Melee self intact, but add the risk/reward as an additional layer of gameplay; I could legitimately see that as an incentive to use my best moves, but not spam them because they are the one and only best option (coincidentally the problem a lot of people have with certain P:M character designs). A few things I'd like to discuss on fine tuning his potential design are:
I've always liked having clones because they add some of the most fun matchups to the game. In competitive Melee, is there really a more iconic matchup than Fox vs. Falco? I find clone matches to be extremely enjoyable, moreso than dittos, because there are few easily exploitable strengths that my opponent can't use as well, but I have enough differences to hinge a strategy off of. They also add an interesting dynamic when played by other characters, since there is just enough matchup unfamiliarity to force a flexible playstyle on your opponent's part, but not so much that they won't know how to fight. I certainly wouldn't begrudge Pichu for being what you described here.
Nice. Two more: he takes the fencing stance right before he does the jump attack in the video and the eyepiece on his mask glows. If he doesn't otherwise have the series of swipes he uses when shooting lightning, that can also be one. Or they could make it a taunt even if it's included, saves animation time.
Dont forget the Pigmask Army Salute!
Did you change your pic? or were those things always in it.
Alright, fixed my votes a little as promised.
Ah, I see. While I'm not sure if I'd like the move as a special, being able to aerial attack out of a spin into that move would be quite interesting.
Lots of people don't want more third-party characters.
well, that's your problem. I don't see why it should get in the way of such a great character idea. (but of course it's going to factor in and make it not happen anyways)
oh sorry was that "well that's your problem" bit too harsh? wasn't meant to be like that. maybe "that's your opinion" may have been a better choice of words? oh well. I digress.Okay, be hostile. Good. Like it was going to happen anyway?
Sonic`s already in is the excuse people use to say tails CAN`T get in. Also, it`s not illegal if they still have to pay for the game to play the mod and if we don`t use anything that isn`t already featured in smash bros. already in some shape or form. I still disagree that tails should be a character because it`s a nintendo crossover fighting game, not Nintendo X Sega X Capcom X Marvel Ultimate Cage Fight Battle Tournament 3 Ultra Arcade Edition Deluxe.
Yeah, and Sonic deserves to be in. Tails...eh. I'm not denying he could be interesting, but there are unrepresented (or underrepresented) Nintendo franchises that many people feel deserve slots more than a guest franchise. Tails doesn't have the star power that Sonic does, nor is he anywhere near as important to Nintendo and its history as Sonic himself. The fact that Tails is a third-party character does matter, whether it should or not. Some people (myself included) simply feel that there are more important characters over Tails. Hell, even if I did support another Sonic character, there are at least four I would pick before Tails, and most of them would be easier to make.
The only real problem I see with pichu is that there seems to be no reason for him to be in the game other than the fact that he was in melee. And I know that if pichu was in the game he would be an interesting character, but one thing you need to keep in mind is that any character the pmbr adds will be unique and interesting, so i don't believe that claim can really be used in justifying pichu. Anyway i don't really see any point in adding him, another pokemon whos evolved form is already in the game, he was worthless in his game as well. Pikachu was bad in his game as well but at least he is the mascot of pokemon, and Jiggly puff was bad too but she has been in every smash game thus far, not to mention she was one of the best in melee who was played as a lot, she is also in brawl, which puts her in by default. And what justifies Roy and Mewtwo over pichu was that they're playstyles we vastly different from there clones. Besides Doc and Mario, Pichu and Pikachu were the most similar clones in the game. And in my opinion pichu's playstyle was very boring, you just hoped your opponent would over commit so you can attempt to make a punish, but this is just my opinion. Any Brawl characters in the game have a spot in pm simply for the fact that they are in brawl, but the melee chars aren't guaranteed a spot. I understand mewtwo because he has a very unique style and is the god of pokemon, and roy is one of the fire emblem lords who also has a unique playstyle(although you can argue that he too is an inferior clone). Pichu is like nothing, i think he is only in smash to represent that pokemon generation.
Only one problem, he doesn`t teleport.
I really hope he does get in, I never played Melee and I really want to know what Pichu is like.
Just wanting to throw a few things out there:
A glass cannon who damaged himself with a large portion of his moveset, could be knocked off of the stage extremely easily, and was just all-around bad. The 'paper tiger' concept is cool, and has plenty of reason to be included for somebody, but... not Pichu.
I didn't mean literal teleports (like :MewtwoMelee
;u__u
I'd buy that if it played like Mortal Combat x DC x Tekken X Dragon Ball Z Extreme Battle Royal 69th Anniversary Edition with the Mass Effect DLC.
Well technically Arceus is the god of all pokemon, while mew is the fetus of all pokemon.more like
or
Still closer to god than Mewtwo
The god of pokemon was mewtwo's nickname back in the earlier generations, he was praised with having perfect stat placement
Not anymore. He has no right to be praised as such when there's a Pokémon from his gen who fits the bill better.
I WANNA BE THAT GUY!
Tails was solid in Sonic Adventure.
