New Characters for Project M Discussion Thread (Voting Closed)

[Anti Guy]

Some never-mentioned characters I came up with these days:

Ricky Winterborn (1080º / Wave Race): A character based on two modes, snowboarder and water scooter. I think it has material for a pretty original character.

Prince Ephraim (Fire Emblem): we have lots of sword based characters... but we haven't a lance based one. Long range, zoning character. Could fit PM perfectly.

Diskun (Famicom Disk System interface): not exactly a video game character, but it could use lots of retro references such as Pac-Man does in SSB4.

King Boo (Luigi's Mansion): we need a nemesis for Luigi. I think this character could be a defensive one. Very good at avoiding attacks and one interesting mechanic: if the enemy sees him, he is damn slow. So he must be with his back to the enemy in order to perform a quick combo.

Kyle Hide (Hotel Dusk / Last Window): a character from a graphic adventure is something I would kill for.

Ephraim was mentioned a bunch of times

Go on Brawl Vault, you can find tons. PSAs are nothing new.

 

[Exodo]

Yes, Waluigi time.

[ElPanandero]

I don't believe Diskun even has a trophy or sticker in Brawl. But Diskun was definitely someone I would've suggested if he had appeared.

 

[Propeller Toad]

I'll give my vote in too:

Toad + 1

- With both Rosalina and Jr. in the new Smash, it really would be nice to have Toad in Project M. He would be fun to have and it would give something for us Toad fans who've wanted him since Melee.

Pichu + 1

- He's a Melee veteran and was one of my favourites as well. I'd love to see him back since Mewtwo and Roy are already back. Even the Pichu Bros would be fine.

 

[arcticfox8]

PM should have Condor because Smash 4 got rid of the Ice Climbers.
They think noone cares about Ice Climber anymore
We'll show them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ice Climbers and Lucas were cut from Smash 4. Justice must be served.

+1/2 vote for Condor
+1/2 vote for Masked Man

LETS GO

[ElPanandero]

.5 for Condor

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

-50 for Condor.

If Mashed Tomatos can downvote Birdo twice, I can downvote Condor as many times as I want.

Yes, Waluigi time.

To be honest I think it would be nice if there was a peer reviewed list of all the good custom characters, where people could rate them so you could see who the majority thought was best. I've tried looking at Brawlvault and it seems hard to tell what's the best; they let you see the number of downloads for each thing, but that doesn't really show whether it's actually high quality or if it was just hyped and the people who downloaded it deleted it if it turned out to not be good.

Just some place that corralled all the BrawlEX characters and had a poll that let you rate them all would be nice, that way the cream could rise to the top and you could pick out the best ones without dealing with the substandard ones.

 

[Sour Supreme]

A lot of PSA's are broken.

 

[Chihiro Fujisaki]

+.5 for condor, i already have a vote in for masked man

REVENGE FOR ICE CLIMBERS AND LUCAS, by that logic we should add krystal too

 

[Moydow]

+1 Isaac
+1 Ephraim
+1 Hector

Isaac's Psynergy has so much potential for a moveset, and a lance-using FE character would be a nice change from all the swords. Hector because Hector (and again, axe instead of sword).

 

[Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

A lot of PSA's are broken.

Right, that's why it would be good to know which ones aren't broken. I imagine a broken one wouldn't rate high.

 

[Shin F.]

Alright, guys. You've been waiting patiently long enough for this, so it's about time we posted the new vote count. I'll also post the draft of the OP so you guys can look at it, but we'll need to wait for Anti Guy to have some time before the actual OP itself gets the updates. Without further ado:

(Spoilered for the sake of the page length)

Spoiler: Most Recent Results 9/21/14

Spoiler: The new OP

 

[Friesnchip]

You'll notice quite a few new characters have jumped above the up vote threshold and made it into the OP this update. Hopefully some of your favorites made the cut this time around (I'm pretty pleased that Prince Sable got a bit of recognition).

 

[Shin F.]

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that we don't have entries prepared for every single character, but we didn't want to delay once more and end up having to put this off even longer to add them, so we decided to simply create the OP entries at a later date while including the results for the new characters.

 

[JCOnyx]

Yes, there are a couple more candidates that have enough total votes and positive votes to be included in the next revision, notably Micaiah and Rawk Hawk.

 

[Anti Guy]

I realized I still haven't used my last +1. I'll use it on Micaiah.

 

[Friesnchip]

C'mon man, we JUST updated the results.
I realize you are going to tally it up yourself but I saw the joke opportunity and went for it.

 

[Sour Supreme]

MFW when bottom tier is all 3rd Party characters.

 

[PlateProp]

Yo, does anyone happen to randomly know where the pmbr got the Pokemon remix used in the 2.5 Squirtle reveal?

 

[Shin F.]

MFW when bottom tier is all 3rd Party characters.

Fun fact: When tallying this, I considered making another completely separate tier.

Spoiler

 

[ElPanandero]

For the Potential Ganon/Bshadow switch, has the triforce mod been given any consideration, a blend of magic/sword mode for the new Ganon. Considering it would just need to be balanced with some moe changes as the back room sees fit, seems impossibly easy to do, even if I am against it happening.

 

[Grey Belnades]

Lyn went down one spot but she's still in the top 5.

Why are you asking this here.

Take it to Social. There's more PMDT there anyways.

Please show us how to make our own characters because ik some people want certain characters (like I want krystal but so many people call her a furry) I just ask this since not every character can make it

Wat.

Shins a deity wielding the modding tools of Cthulhu himself, but I doubt he's able to teach someone how to create PSA's at the ready.

Lol, I'm not the person to be asking about this. I do know a lot about how it's done, but I've only played around with it myself a little bit. You'd have better luck learning how to PSA at Kitty Corp.

Gtfo psykid, you aint no mod, you can't tell me wat2du

 

[GunBuster]

Cons
-Resistance to changing Ganondorf despite being able to use the same character with a different name and textures.

you could have put that a little more neutrally.

"changing Ganondorf's established moveset is still a somewhat debated topic", for example.

I didn't actually write or edit a lot of the entries for the older suggestions, so I didn't notice that, but I'll change it.

 

[bksbestbwoy]

I'm going to have to put in some overtime if Taka only made it to low B tier. lol

Excellent work on that OP guys.

oh, my bad.

it just reads like it's only taken from the Pro-black shadowdorf point of view, while i feel these descriptions should be largely neutral.
