Any thign from the digimon series would be a bad/good idea! I luv digimon but having any kind of digimon in this game would be a little too awkward

Ex: Lobomon(the one in my sig) going to the werewolf form for his super thing( i dont remember wolf forms name) and shooting missiles all over the place or something

Sakurai has already said that NO anime characters would be added. And YES, I know there have been digimon video games, but they were originally from anime, so there is a 0.00% chance of them getting into Brawl.

I'll take Augumon (Or however it's spelled) anyday. Plus Gabumon would be cool. I only got into the original episodes.

Yeah anime characters would ruin it. Thank goodness that there is a 0.00% chance!

Uh... Digimon started as a Tamagotchi spinoff. It was a virtual pet, then they made the anime based on that. I own an original Digimon toy; I know this for a fact :p

They're fair game. Not as likely as others, but fair game. They had Nintendo games, and their roots are in video gamedom.

Not only did Digimon start as a Tamagotchi thing, but the anime was created directly to compete with the wildly popular Pokemon anime that began airing just before it. I seriously doubt that Nintendo's going to ask their direct competitors for characters. That's be like Microsoft asking Apple to work on the next XBox with them.

It's funny because Apple would probably do a better job than MS. :rolleyes:

Okay, enough MS hate for this post. Digimon would easily work, save the fact that, as stated, they have zero chance of making it for various reasons:

1) While they started as the Tamagotchi spinoff, most people know them for the anime. The Tamagotchi thing is a very small loophole, since IDK if Sakurai actually counts those as video games.

2) The Digimon anime and card game were created in direct competition with the Pokemon versions. My newspaper even ran an article comparing the two (slow news day. :laugh: )

3) This ties in with #2, but Digimon completely own Pokemon's fuzzy butt on multiple levels. Sakurai wouldn't want to upstage one of Nintendo's most popular franchises, would he? :laugh:

As I said, though, there are lots of Digimon that could easily be made into Smash Bros. fighters (Agumon, Renamon, and Lobomon, in particular). With any (read: very, very, inhumanly good) luck, Sakurai would get lazy and just put in some random chars with easy movesets.

...

...

...Yeah, it ain't happening. :ohwell:

I didn't lock the Master Chief topic, so I'm not locking this. People are still allowed to speculate and discuss how they'd like to see character included in the series, even if that character has a 0% chance.

The reason? Because who's to say which characters have more of a chance than others? If we only allowed discussion on characters that we think will get in the game, then we'd have to go through every character and decide if they have a chance or not, and of course members would disagree with us on every single one, and it would just get stupid.

So the topic stays open, go ahead and speculate away.

But don't forget my favorite Digimon, the Jamaican drum player Monmon! (*Hint* that was a joke.)

McFox, Im going to take your word and open the "Guybrush Threepwood thread". Because he would be such a sweet character. With the sword insult fighting and saying "Look! A three-headed monkey!" :chuckle: .

Digimon and Pokemon don't go together. It's like taking Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon and putting them in one game.

You do know your analogies are terrible, right?

Oh yeah and um, Digimon is STILL the worst idea for Brawl ever. And I support Petey Piranha so that's saying alot apparently.

The games are based off of the anime, not the digital pets. So no digimon.
Digital Pets are games.

2) The Digimon anime and card game were created in direct competition with the Pokemon versions. My newspaper even ran an article comparing the two
Digimon was created as an obvious next step from Tamagotchi. Any similarities to Poke'mon is pretty much coincidence.

So the fact that in the anime, the kids go around fighting other little monsters that can change into bigger and better monsters is just a humongous coincidence.

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

And RVD fan, there is not a 1% chance they will be in. There is a 0% chance. They absolutely will not be in the game, I guaruntee it.

Um, as far as I know, the kids don't even do anything. The Digimon actually do all the fighting while the kids stand by and cheer them on. And then somehow, the kids get all the credit for defeating the bad guy...

Well, in Pokemon's defense, the trainer is the one who decided what moves to use and such. In Digimon, all the Digimon have about one or two moves that they decide use on their own, with no help whatsoever from the children. Sometimes the 'mon's need the kids to Digivolve to a certain form, but other than that, the kids do SQUAT.

But I digress from the topic. I apologize.

Pokemon have obtained much more publicity as a franchise than Digimon ever did. I personally thought Digimon was a waste and a clone to the Pokemon franchise. I must agree with most people here, 0% chance and probably one of the worst suggestions. No offense, it just isn't that great of an idea.

Spoilers put up because the original post had nothing to do with what is currently going on.
I am the digimon master. I shall now take it onto myself to uphold the Digi-way until I get bored.

First of all, the kids are the ones who let the digimon grow/digvolve and make them stronger. It was all thanks to the power of friendship. The kids shared their power with the Digimon in some mysterious way that was never explained. Yep. And in the later series of the show, the third one, the kids could let their digimon have weapons by scanning Digi-codes from cards or something like that. If it wasn't for Tekuya's awesome card combo, growlmon would never have been able to defeat the evil IceDevimon.

Not that I support Digimon in Brawl, anyways...
EDIT FOR A CERTAIN FORUM GAME!
First clue: Muncle Eat likes to eat ice cream.
This got me nowhere since I didn't now anything about K of H. As we all know now, he was _______, a character who liked to eat ice cream. If you would remember, I asked in the thread which Disny charater liked ice cream.

I investigated Lance the next nitgh and found out "he is just a really nice guy". (all quotations are really just paraphrased) Susptions of him subsided.

Jaxzy "loved to sing".
This supports her roll clame as Arieal. If you ever watch the movie, or Wiki it, her singing is a big part of the plot. This is why I trust that she is really Arieal. *note: I asked in the thread if Karri liked to sing*

Deathreever is "really strong".
I'm not sure what to think of this. I'm not sure if Arcken is Hurculees or if Death is. >_> I'm guessing Hurculees is probably a character since Hades is in our gaime.

Last nitgh, I investigated Ro__ike.
I was truely stumped as to who the final Maphia member was, assuming there was one. On a hunch, I thought I might as well investigate the playa I suspeckted least. (Sorry, Ro__ike.) I realized that investigating active playas was the only usefull way to use my ablitity since everyone had already decided whoever was the last Maphia had to be an innacteve since there had been no night kills previously. What would have been the point of me investigating an innacteve? We were already starting to pick them all off one at a time anyways.

So here is the clue I recieved from the gamemoderador.
"Ro__ke makes necklaces out of seashells"

That's Ursualla right there.

Now, this is my master plan.
So the point of this whole editing into a previous post thing was to provide an alliby for myself. I am going to challenge Ro__ke into a roll clame. I am going to reveal all above statements to the toown soon, including the fact that I investigated Ro__ke, and offer the suggestion of editing one of my previous posts to contain his clue. That way, I edit, and he roll clames. I then show him my editted post, and he can see from the last edit date that I have changed nothing since his post.

If he accepts, I edit a fake characder clue in another thread that's not this one. I am counting on him to use the search to try to find my clue. I'll make it easy for him to find the fake one. *ONLY THIS EDITTED MESSAGE COUNTS!* He would then roll clame and if he puts up some other Disny characder that makes necklaces out of seashells then I'll drop the whole thing. If, however, he provides a characder that doesn't fit that description then I'll know he is lying. Our gamemoderador is always truthful. I'll link this very post to everyone to see, and they will all know by the edit date that I haven't touched anything, and that he's guilty.

So by the time you people read this, all of this will have happened already. If it doesn't happen, I simply wont show this post!

Once again, it's a 0% chance. No Digimon will be in the game.

I'd like to see it just to compliment the likeliness of Sonic vs. Mario happening. Who doesn't want to see Pokemon vs. Digimon finally? It won't happen, though, but it would be pretty funny. The Digimon world games for the PSX were pretty much independant from the anime and based more on the virtual pets (play the first one, I dare you), so the anime debate really doesn't hold I don't think.

On the subject of Digimon being a Pokemon clone, the virtual pets came before the Gameboy games, and given the immense popularity of both, it's natural that both end up with an anime. Considering the subject of both has to do with pet monsters, parallels are bound to appear, it's just a matter of whether or not people want to play the oh-so-common "ZOMG COPYCAT" card whenever something has something vaguely to do with something else. Now, it's arguable whether or not the Digimon anime was made to combat the Pokemon anime, but really, who cares. Both of them are very different if you actually take the time to look past the monster aspect (the main differences are Digimon has an actual progressing storyline with like, danger and stuff, and being more of a series of mini-series instead of an ongoing thing).

Anyway, honestly, this whole Digimon vs. Pokemon thing is very tired, so I think i'll stop typing........ now.

So apparently there's a Tamagotchi in the newest Mario Kart. Wonder what this could mean for future Namco/Nintendo endeavors. Anyway this thread's missing an actual moveset.

Agumon

A: Claw Attack
B: Pepper Breath. A ball of fire that packs more of a punch than the Marios' fireballs but is slow & clunky.
>B: Baby Burner. Fires a stream of fire along the floor.
^B: Dynamite Kick. Leaps into the air & lashes out with rapid kicks.
vB: Crossfire. A powerful chomping attack (yes, that's what the move is call/does)
Grab/throw: Can chomp foe while holding him up, "throws" him by spouting a fireball at point blank range.
Super: Warps Digivolve to Wargreymon & unleashes a massive ball of energy onto the stage.
Taunt: scratches muzzle

If this entire Discussion board begins to spread a bunch of threads about non-video game characters, then I really want McFox (or other Administrators) to unlock my Popeye thread. I would also like for them to let me create some (but not too many) threads about non-video game characters on how they would fight in SSBB, like Fried Ricer (perhaps known as Chow Man in Japan).

Here is what he sounds like in the Japanese version of Fighting Foodons, known as Martial Arts Cooking Legend: Bistro Recipe.

...But we've already established that Digimon started in a video game (according to McFox). There is a chance that they'll make it, but it's so insignificantly small that it's practically nil. As long as there are still viable Pokemon around, we won't see Digimon in a Smash Bros. game, since comparisons between the two are almost inevitable.

Wow a tamagotchi,i guess that makes up for the fact that they are bi-polar anime characters,and not to mention that they are from a rival company and considered 3rd party,in addition with the limited 3rd party space.

These guys have a -3,000,000,000% chance.

I, too, rather have more Pokemon, Mario, or Zelda characters than a Digimon character. They have a small chance and Digimon isn't very popular even if it has a large, but not by much, fanbase. Digimon simply doesn't appear of the fact the franchise is very unpopular and Sakurai knows it.

Digimon started out as digital pets, which I guess could technically be considered a video game. I think a Digimon character would be awesome in Smash Bros. They're similar to Pokemon, but different enough that it wouldn't seem like they just added more Pokemon.

For one thing, Digimon can evolve like Pokemon, except they can change back afterwards. That would make a perfect Final Smash. They could have Agumon as a playable character and for his FS he evolves into Greymon, similar to how Bowser changes into Giga Bowser.

Also, Bandai merged with Namco and now they're one company called Namco Bandai. Namco is generally considered to be one of the most likely candidates to feature a third party character in Smash, so it's not impossible.

I know that they would put Pac-Man in first, but since Namco Bandai is one company now, it's possible that they could put two characters in Brawl(one to represent Namco and one to represent Bandai).

Pokemon Vs. Digimon is kind of like Mario Vs. Sonic, so it'd be cool to have both in the same game.

I don't think that a digimon will be in Brawl, I'm just saying that it could happen.

This true, but Digimon actually originated from a video game, albeit not a Nintendo one. They had the little hand-held Tamagachi-type games that became an anime that became another video game. The little battling hand-helds were awesome, though. :grin: Teddymon hax ftw!

It would be third license... plus, is not as popular as Pokemon and people wouldn't want Pokemon's copycat to get in the game, personally at least I wouldn't
