What if Balloon fighter was able to stay in the air longer than any other character -indefinitely- as long as he has balloons.

Attacks from enemies pop balloons

He'd be an aerial combat based opponent

I wouldn't mind having Mach Rider or Balloon Fighter over Takamaru. Both could bring so much more to the table than he could.

I like all 3 of them, but Takamaru's where my money's at.

Not sure what the heck Balloon Figher or Mach Rider could do though. Their movesets would probably be almost as weird as whatever Mr. Peeper supporters come up with.

I wonder if Make Your Own Move has don't anything for those two yet?

> MK Down air camping with conditioned infinite jumps.

No thanks.
I think it depends on the stage design.

I think they could make for it with character balancing as well

Maybe he'd be banned from stages

I'm sure for Balloon Fighter. ANNNNND, ask BKoopa whenever he shows up. He would know. I think.

My money is on Takamaru too, but, I still think a character based around Balloons/Bike would be more interesting than a Takamaru. At least in the sense that they would be something new.

Takamaru seem moar viable imo.
Sakurai agrees with you.

What if Ballon Fighter basically only had aerials...
Kind of along the lines of Sakurai's concern. "If you pop his balloons he can't fight"

I see no concern in that.

Just give him a move that inflates balloons.

One of the specials

The deal with Balloon Fighter is that most of his moveset would be pretty bland, but it's his balloony gimmick that would bring it all together.

I agree with you Psycho, but, I'm just saying how Sakurai feels. Which is pretty silly considering I don't think the Ice Climbers actually DID anything other than jump in their game, yet he managed to look past that and create an entire moveset. Of course, those reasonings behind not adding bubbles/BF/EB/ect. could have been jokes.

With those two though, at least in Balloon Fighter's case seeing as he made 2nd place, I wonder what Sakurai had in mind to get BF that far on his list?

Balloon Fight does seem to be up there with Ice Climber for Sakurai as he keeps pairing the two games, remember the fish?

Then the competitive community would have to alter the game around this character if the gimmick is too powerful or broken. This was the main criticism against banning MK or setting different air time and ledge grab rulings.

I know Sakurai doesn't care about that but you can probably see the dismay this may cause.

Has Tryphen been ignoring me this whole time about Mach Rider and his explosions...
This is the first time you've brought that up in this discussion.

Ignoring? No. Forgetful? Yes.
My memory is weak.

Maybe making a character decision is as hard as making an username...
:c

I think he wouldn't make it too high up if he only relied on aerials. Think about it. His mobility would have to be amazing and how would he combat strong anti-air games like snake?

He would be lacking a ground game

I remember not liking that Mach Rider moveset. I bet Shorts would like it though since he's gay and gays like bikers and their gay bikes or something.

The best about the whole username joke is I'm making fun of my friend who can't decide on an username who wants to join the boards.

Preferred the Mach Rider moveset to the Balloon Fighter one. (Based on quick glances)

Also it would be nice if Balloon fighter had an alternate costume or color of those enemy things.

Preferably a costume

Mach Rider also has a moveset in Smash Bros. Crusade. He's essentially a generic fighter, with a Wario-esque bike special, in addition to a rapid-fire gun.
