This doesn't make any sense. Fei Long was always an honorable tribute to Bruce Lee. He was never a parody or comedic portrayal of him.
One with Tatsunako is no longer available due to licensing issue.

Now that you mention it, somebody said this whole thing is Quinten Tarantino's fault...
I would love a crossover of these franchises, Yooka Laylee in general feels as much as the added on "DK Universe" as Banjo, in many ways. Sure it's a Banjo spiritual successor at first and foremost, and I'd love a full crossover of Donkey Kong, Banjo and Yooka-Laylee but that's probably too far out of the question.
that looks bad
For a work in progress, I think it’s looking really good. The animations that are farther along look smooth but you can tell a lot are still early. You can’t really hold modded movesets to the same standard as official characters. These are usually just one or two fans working during their free time as opposed to a team of highly skilled trained professionals.
I meant the combination of moves they chose for chibi
Oh, that I can’t comment on because I’ve never played a Chibi Robo game.
well he’s certainly never rolled into a ball like that. It’s a touch jarring
I’ve never really watched Dragon Ball so I can’t speak too much to the accuracy of the moveset but I will say that this is really well thought out and written. The Ki charge, Spirit Bomb, and Kamehameha are iconic enough that I know them all despite never watching the show. This was a lot of fun to read. I love making custom movesets for my favorite characters and imagining what they could be like if they made it into Smash one day.Here's my character concept for Goku in Smash!
First the basic introduction. My Goku will be what I call Kid Goku with GT characteristics. What does this mean? Well it means it'll be a Kid Goku with access to both eras of his respective abilities/tools. So he'll have access to Super Saiyan 1, 2 and 3, Instant Transmission, ki attacks besides Kamehameha and his tail and power pole! I'm limiting it to his most iconic transformations as opposed to his newer ones because it'd start to pile up too much to include them all and also I have a great concept for the 3 I'm using. I'm also using Kid Goku as opposed to adult Goku because first I believe he fits better into Smash that way, second it grants him access to his powerpole and tail and finally it's how he appeared first in the manga AND in his first video game. Also it'll give him a major weakness which will be his weight and the reach of his limb-based physical attacks.
Goku will be auto-locked to his opponents because it's Sakurai and I guess he does that now with fighting game characters which is what I'll consider Goku for this concept.
Goku will enter the stage on his Nimbus cloud.
The Specials:
Shield-Special: Ki-Charge
Goku's Shield-Special will be a simple ki-charge. It's very self-explanatory but I'll do my best nonetheless. Goku flexes both of his arms and assumes a "ready position" while vociferously exclaiming "AAAAAAAAAAH" which creates a sharp and rising aura around him that causes his clothes and hair to wave around as if they were being blown by a strong gust of wind. Doing this will fill Goku's Ki-Bar.
Filling Goku's Ki-Bar will grant him access to Super Saiyan. The Ki-Bar overlaps 3 times for each successive transformation. Base form to Super Saiyan 1 is colored blue on the ki-bar and once Super Saiyan 1 is reached the ki-bar will turn gold. Super Saiyan 2 will cause the ki bar to become gold with lightning around it and Super Saiyan 3 will cause the ki-bar to become sparkling gold with lightning around it.
When reaching Super Saiyan 1 and 2 you'll start out at 25% of a full bar and while that should help you the strain on Goku's body will start immediately and using any of his ki-based attacks will drain the ki that much quicker. Only two things will accumulate ki for Goku and they are landing physical attacks (which is mostly a function of making his character implementation work in the game but is also a slight reference to how Saiyans get stronger as they fight) and using the Shield-Special to Ki-Charge. The strain of the transformations will slow down the charge accordingly. Charging to Super Saiyan 1 takes about as long as 250% of the time it takes for Inkling ink meter to go from empty to full. Each Super Saiyan transformation after that takes 50% extra longer than that so 300% for Super Saiyan 2 and 350% for Super Saiyan 3. Each successive transformation will up the strain on body increasing the rate of passive ki loss by 25% each after regular Super Saiyan 1. By the time you hit Super Saiyan 3 it'll be almost a fool's errand to be charging your ki at that point. You'll recover some but it'll be very slow and it's not like the opponent is just gonna sit there and let you power up amirite or amirite?
One major remedy to this is that Super Saiyan 3 starts out at 100% full ki-charge as opposed to the 25% for Super Saiyan 1 and 2. When Goku runs out of his Super Saiyan 3 Ki-Bar he falls back into base-form.
The Super Saiyan transformations will buff Goku by raising (or lowering if it's more beneficial) all his attributes and the damage of his attacks according to the level of transformation. It'll also give him access to a different Neutral-Special that I'll get into next.
Goku CAN use his ki-based attacks when his ki-bar is at absolute zero. The only thing affected by the meter is his Super Saiyan transformations. His ki-based attack simply speeds up the drain back down to base form.
Base-Form Neutral-Special: Spirit Bomb
Goku charges a spirit-bomb for his Neutral-Special while in his base form. He'll of course have his iconic voice clip of "Please lend me your energy" while he's doing it as he raises both his hands up to gather the Genki. When it's fully charged Goku's hand glows blue or white with an aura visually indicating that the spirit-bomb is fully charged. This spirit bomb isn't giant like we're used to. No it's more similar to the one Krillin threw at Vegeta during the Saiyan arc. Its trajectory can also be manipulated by the control stick for a brief moment after launch just like Pit's Arrows. It'll take about 200% as long as Samus' Neutral-Special but just like that one Goku can charge it in bits and pieces. It won't be twice as strong but maybe about 150% as strong?
One of the major benefits to this though is going to be for his Super Saiyan transformations because if Goku has a fully charged spirit-bomb loaded before transforming into Super Saiyan 1 he'll cash it in and in doing so will start at 50% of maximum ki-bar for Super Saiyan 1 instead of 25%. This gimmick is only applicable when going from base-form to Super Saiyan 1.
All Super Saiyan transformation Neutral-Special: Dragon Fist
Goku's Neutral-Special in all of his Super Saiyan transformations will be Dragon Fist. It'll be a lot like Sephiroth's Up-Special. When initially activated Goku will say "Dragon..." audibly quieter than when he finishes the attack with a resounding "FIST!!!!!" and this process will take about as long as Captain Falcon's iconic Falcon Punch. During the charge-up Goku will be able to aim his Dragon Fist just like Sephiroth's Up-Special does. If Goku aims the attack into the air or offstage or whatever he'll be put into a falling state. It can travel about 50% as far as Ike's fully-charged Side-Special. It's a great recovery mix-up but I ain't giving him Sora's double recovery gimmick.
Up-Special: Instant Transmission
For Goku's Up-Special he'll receive instant transmission. Goku brings his pointer and middle fingers to his forehead as he does this move. It'll function very similarly to other teleports in the game already like Mewtwo's and Palutenia's. Just like those moves he'll be able to use it on the ground and move it horizontally around with it. I'm giving it an extra gimmick though... Goku's instant transmission will also be a counter! Yep pretty crazy I know. There'll be a counter that's active from about the 25%-75% portion of the attack animation and even getting hit with a projectile will set it off. Whoever attacked Goku during this timeframe will be met with Goku immediately teleporting to them and doing a sweeping aerial kick if they're on the ground and if they're in the air Goku will do a double axe-handled punch towards the floor and it'll spike! The opponent can't do anything to stop this just like a regular counter and if Goku activates the counter he won't be put into a falling state and will be allowed to Up-Special again immediately after the counter is over.
Forward-Special: Kamehameha
Of course it's here. There was literally nothing else that could have been here! Goku's Side-Special is his most iconic attack the Kamehameha wave of the turtle school! There isn't much to say but Goku can't store this attack like his spirit-bomb. It'll work a lot like Hero's side-special in that it has 3 forms (those being weak, medium and strong variants) while of course having more range and being a projectile-based attack as opposed to attacks physical attack with lightning enhancement.
For the weak variant Goku will start by saying "Kame" and should the player let go of the Side-Special input he'll immediately proclaim "ha!". For the medium variant Goku will again start with a "Kame" and then proceed to say "haaaaaa" in contrast with the first portion of the namesake being a quick incantation this "haaaaaa" will be elongated somewhat by Goku audibly signally to the players that he is dramatically powering up his energy gathering. Should the player let go of the Side-Special input then Goku will of course finish with a slightly stronger "HAaaaa". Finally for the stronger variant Goku will do the usual "Kame" then proceed with a "haaaaaaaa" and then a "meeeeeeee" and finish with a roaring "HAAAAAAA!!!". Each of these attacks will successively do more damage than the previous variation and their hitbox will be widened as well. Though the stronger the Kamehameha the more ki it'll drain from Goku's Ki-Bar so that's important to keep in mind. This strong variant of this move will be a very popular if not the best option to go to in the event of a shield-break.
Also the blast diminishes in size and power (damage) as it travels hence why a fully charged up-close Kamehameha is just that much better.
Back-Special: Command Grab Punch
I don't know what to call this one but it's the move he used on Mercenary Tao and I consider kind of an iconic attack from his OG Dragon Ball days. It's straight-up reskinned from Diddy Kong's command grab with Goku flip lunge forward towards the opponent and should it connect Goku with grab onto the opponent's upper body area and like Diddy's Side-Special will automatically start punching the enemy's face. These punches will be weaker punches compared when the player inputting the necessary Jab-input to finish the command-grab (just like how Diddy's strong attack for his command-grab works) which will have Goku jump off the opponent's body and kick them square in the face! I'll leave a timestamped visual reference for this one. This will be Goku's one special attack that doesn't drain his Ki. It in fact will grant him some like all his over physical attacks. This can actually be used to help his recovery a little just like Diddy Kong's (also like Terry's Back-Special) so he won't get back into a fall state after using this.
Visual-Reference https://youtu.be/lSJsQG5Osv4?t=136
Down-Special: Kienzan or Destruco Disk
For Goku's Down-Special he'll do a Kienzan! Goku can do this in the anime and so he'll do it in Smash even though it's more associated with Krillin than Goku. It's basically another ki-projectile-based attack but I'm giving it a special property. It'll be a combination of Kazuya's static paralysis effect coupled with the dramatic camera close up and slicing sound effect of Ridley's Down-Special! When the attack connects the camera will do the close-up and slicing sound effect as it puts the opponent immediately in a short paralysis (like Kazuya's electric punches) and then into a knocked-down state just like Ridley's does. I think this is the best way to represent the attack under the parameters of Smash.
The Normal Attacks:
Jab: Rock-Paper-Scissors
Goku's jab will be a 3 hit combo jab and it's his Rock-Paper-Scissors attack. Not much else to say really because. Tap the jab-input 3 times and you'll go through the routine. I'll leave a video visual reference.
Visual reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4N9vKAjUMc
Dash-Attack: Super Dash Headbutt
Goku's dash attack will be a Dragon Rush headbutting attack. Goku will propel himself head-first forward with a bright ki encircling around him. It's a combination reference to the Super Dash mechanic of Dragon Ball FighterZ and Goku's headbutt constantly be referred to in the manga/anime as an unusually strong attack with characters constantly asking what Goku's head is
made of.
Here is a visual reference to the Super Dash mechanic. It's the Frieza player utilizing the move. Goku's aura will be white when he's in his base form and golden wherever he's in any of his Super Saiyan transformations.
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/sDnmaOQNATg?t=7
Side-Tilt: Powerpole Poke
For Goku's Side-Tilt he'll poke the powerpole forward. When he does this attack he moves forward a little bit. When Goku uses his powerpole it's already automatically a fair amount extended but if the player holds the input (think Ryu/Ken's heavy inputs) he'll say "Powerpole extend!" causing the range to increase by about 25-30%! The trade-off is the increased end lag on the move coupled with the extra animation time for the attack it commits the player to though.
Here's a visual reference: https://youtu.be/gXBSJ2-Nno8?t=82
Up-Tilt: Powerpole Helicopter Spin
Goku's Up-Tilt will have him spin his powerpole above his head like a helicopter propeller. It's exactly like Sora's Up-Tilt and holding the input will again cause Goku to say "Powerpole extend!" causing the hit box to increase about 25-30% increasing the move's horizontal range of attack. Again the trade-off is the increased end-lag coupled with the extended animation of attack to account for the extra time needed for the powerpole to revert to normal side THEN be put away again whereas Goku would more immediately put it away after doing the normal unextended variant.
I'll use Brawlfan1's Goku video for a visual reference but keep in mind Brawlfan1 is using this attack as his Up-Smash whereas I'm using this attack as Goku's Up-Tilt.
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/JStlz94OVTk?t=300
Down-Tilt: Tail-Swipe
I told ya'll I'd include his tail into the moveset! Goku's Down-Tilt will be a sweeping tail swipe. Goku will quickly turnaround opposite to whatever direction he was facing before inputting the Down-Tilt and swipe his tail low to the ground. As he's doing it he'll close his eyes and give a big cheeky smile and an equally cheeky giggle with a "hehe!" kind of like this ^_^ or whatever. It'll have the highest chance to trip opponents of any Down-Tilt and be a great 2-framer at the ledge but it'll be one of his weakest attacks. Low start and end lag though.
Side-Smash: Ki-Blast-Barrage
Goku's Side-Smash will be Ki-Blast-Barrage. It'll be a lot like Megaman's Side-Smash with the main difference being that the more Goku's Side-Smash is charged the more ki-blasts he fires whereas Megaman's one blast gets bigger the more he charges his. Similar to Megaman's Side-Smash though the more Goku charges his Side-Smash the further his Ki-blasts go. A quick uncharged Side-Smash will have Goku shoot one singular ki-blast that goes about as far as Megaman's uncharged Side-Smash. The amount of ki-blasts will depend on the charge with the fully charged variant having Goku firing 5 ki-blast. Anything less than the charged variant will have Goku say "here!" but if it's fully charged Goku will say "dadadadada!" with one "da" for each ki-blast. Also this Smash attack like all other ki-based attacks will drain Goku's Ki-meter.
Here's a very humorous visual reference of MANY characters in Dragon Ball doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn2bELLJqpU
Up-Smash: Vertical Powerpole Scoop
For his Up-Smash Goku will scoop his Powerpole from low to high and the longer he charges the Smash the more range his powerpole will have. Brawlfan1 has the attack here in his video on Goku's potential moveset but has it for his Up-Tilt. I'm going to instead make it his Up-Smash. It's very similar to Cloud's Up-Smash.
Visual reference with timestamp: https://youtu.be/JStlz94OVTk?t=265
Down-Smash: Low Powerpole Spin
This attack I'm lifting straight from Brawlfan1's Goku video exactly. Goku does a low angled spin around with his powerpole and again the more Goku charges this Smash attack the extended range his powerpole will get. Between a 25-30% increase like all of his other extended range powerpole variants.
Visual reference here: https://youtu.be/JStlz94OVTk?t=311
Neutral-Air: Underhook Kick
Goku's Neutral-Air is a quick underhook kick. I'm lifting it straight from Brawlfan1's video. Goku basically just kicks upward while in the air. Just a basic martial artist kind of move.
Visual Reference: https://youtu.be/JStlz94OVTk?t=321
Forward-Air: Powerpole Chop
Goku's Forward-Air will be his original powerpole attack. Goku will swing his powerpole from above his head then downward with a chopping strike. Note that any aerial attack utilizing his powerpole will not have extended variants.
Here's a visual reference from Brawlfan1's video: https://youtu.be/JStlz94OVTk?t=321
Here's a visual reference from the anime: https://youtu.be/lW0o1wIGrBc?t=85
Up-Air: Uppercut
Goku's Up-Air is a powerful uppercut punch. It's just as simple as that. It doesn't have nearly as much range as his other moves but it packs a wallop when it connects. When Goku does it he says "This is everything I've got!". The move kind of serves as a reference to the punch he did to defeat King Piccolo hence the voice line slightly referencing it.
Back-Air: Backward Elbow Strike
For Goku's Back-Air he'll do a backwards elbow strike. Goku takes the opposite hand of the one he's going to use elbow strike and uses it (the opposite hand that's not elbowing striking) to help push the elbow-strike giving it some extra force. Again it does have much range but it hurts to get hit by this. Can you imagine getting elbow-striked by a Super Saiyan 3 Goku? Ouch.
Down-Air: Powerpole Pogo
For Goku's Down-Air he'll do his powerpole pogo attack from FighterZ. This will Down-Air will be a typical locked momentum and trajectory Down-Air like Sephiroth's and Banjo's Down-Airs. Basically Goku launches himself downward using his powerpole like a pogo stick. Again like his Forward-Air this will NOT have an extended variant.
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/gXBSJ2-Nno8?t=141
The Grabs and Throws:
Pummel: Headbutt
Goku's Pummel will be a simple headbutt attack.
Forward-Throw: Kick-barrage/Headbutt
Lifting from Brawlfan's video. It's a move from Ultimate Tenkaichi 3. Goku spins around like a helicopter propeller unleashing a barrage of kicks in the process and then headbutts the opponent away.
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/JStlz94OVTk?t=365
Back-Throw: Powerpole throw
Again taking this from Brawlfan's video. Goku latches the opponent onto his powerpole and then vaults them backward quickly turning around in the process.
Visual Reference: https://youtu.be/JStlz94OVTk?t=375
Up-Throw: Double-Fist Slammer
This throw I came up with on my own. Goku throws his opponent into the air and then immediately flies upward with both of his fist extended and slams into them with all the force of his flight launching them upward even further. It's a reference to the attack he used to break Nappa's back.
I'll leave a visual reference but it's extremely quick though (it's supposed to be that way to indicate his power burst from using the kaioken) so you might want to slow down the video some to see it a bit better.
Anyways Visual Reference: https://youtu.be/TAi_oG70L2I?t=36
Down-Throw: Piledriver
I'm lifting from Brawlfan's video for this last one. He mistakenly calls this move a suplex but it's actually a piledriver. It'll be a lot like ROB's Up-Throw. Goku will fly upward with his opponent then flip them upside down and fly back into the ground. I'll leave a visual reference of Goku doing it from Brawlfan's video but just think of ROB's Up-Throw and you got it.
Visual Reference: https://youtu.be/JStlz94OVTk?t=402
Get-Up-Attacks:
Backward-Get-Up-Attack:
Goku will kick himself back onto his feet and quickly elbow behind himself.
Forward-Get-Up-Attack:
Goku will get on his hands just as he does a 360 degree sweeping kick around himself getting back onto his feet once it's done.
Tripped-Get-Up-Attack:
Goku will spin on the back of his torso rotating his extended feet then flip backwards onto his feet just as he crosses his arms and then he'll uncross them in order to extend each at both his sides unleashing a Kiai (kind of like a wind blast from the force of his power) at both his sides. It's a reference to that iconic little breakdance bit he did against Jeice and Burter. It's sometimes referred to as "Goku time" in a cheeky reference to MC Hammer's "Hammer time".
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/Eov2wy1SZGU?t=1
Ledge-Get-Up-Attack:
Goku will climb back onto the stage and poke his power forward just like Sora's Ledge-Get-Up-Attack.
The Final Smash:
Goku's Final Smash will be one I came up with. It's a cinematic Final Smash. Goku will lunge punch forward and should it connect the opponent will get knocked into a wasteland. Goku will look up and say "Huh?" and dramatically we'll see a full moon with the Dragon Ball sound effect indicating that this is a dramatic event! Goku will turn into a great Oozaru ape! and attack the opponent on the ground. The opponent will always dodge this incoming attack by jumping upward. Oozaru Goku will ROAR extremely loud at them unleashing a mouth cannon ki blast directly at them that they will not dodge this time! This blast will decimate them brutally (for effect not actually taking a stock or anything) and will destroy the full moon directly behind them in the process and thus reverting Goku back into his normal kid form with his clothes magically conjured back together.
A fun little effect is that the great ape form will correspond with Goku's current transformation or lack thereof. So base will be a brown great ape, Super Saiyan 1 will be a golden great ape, Super Saiyan 2 will be a golden great ape with jagged fur sticking up and Super Saiyan 3 will have that lush Super Saiyan 3 mane attached to it.
Here are the visual references. Ignore Majin Vegeta being my example for Super Saiyan 2. It was the only reference I could get.

Super Saiyan 3: https://www.deviantart.com/greytonano/art/Oozaru-SSJ3-Goku-713321054
The Taunts:
Up-Taunt:
Goku will pull Master Roshi's glasses out of his pocket put them on and then flash a peace sign with a smile. Goku will says "See? hehe" when he does it. This is a reference to how he managed to get around Tien's solar flare at the tournament where they fought against each other for the first time.
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/UbFNYw1hOMw?t=707
Side-Taunt:
Goku does the Monkey dance he did with Master Roshi at his first tournament. He'll giggle and laugh throughout it. It's a long extended Bayonetta dance type taunt that can be canceled at any time and I know they ruined taunts in Ultimate for some reason but I'm operating under the assumption that they fix that mistake.
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/ZdAfUrAcPL4?t=46
Down-Taunt:
Goku will get on both knees, close his eyes, and assumes a meditating position. This is a reference to his training with Popo.
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/rcyVSar_dlg?t=13
The Victory Screens:
All of Goku's victory screens will have him revert to his base form.
1st one will be Goku chowing down on a feast and then falling on his back with a very satisfied expression on his face.
2nd one will have Goku doing the routine of karate poses as shown here: https://youtu.be/4GIrndy-iE0?t=50
He'll say something along like the lines of "Great fight! Let's do it again sometime okay?" and he'll have a more confident serious smirk on his face at the end.
3rd will have Goku will be on one hand and then flip back onto his feet only to proceed to jump high into the air and extend all of his limbs outward in a joyous fashion and proclaim loudly "I'M THE CHAMPION!!!!!" which is a reference to when he won the World Martial Arts Tournament.
Visual reference: https://youtu.be/l4tQ0V7n4ME?t=1598
The victory fanfare will be the episode title theme for original Dragon Ball episodes.

The Stage:
It'll of course be the World Martial Arts Tournament arena. It'll basically be a lot like any old flat stage. Maybe it might come with a gimmick where like Palutena's guidance and Snake's codecs the Tournament announcer guy will describe all the characters in Smash. And while in the knocked down state the tournament announcer could start a 10 count but it'll never get to 10 as it's simply just for show to add to the atmosphere. The grass will be considered a blast zone so no touching! I think it's a cute little concept for the stage.
Conclusion:
Well there it is! I'll probably edit this post a fair amount but this is the extent of my moveset design for Goku in Smash. I appreciate anybody taking the time to read this or even just part of it or whatever. I like what I came up with and I've been meaning to do one for my "Kid Goku with GT characteristics" idea for a while now. I still need to do one for Master Chief but that'll be another day.
I'd be thrilled if any version of Goku got into Smash as a, if not THE major exception to the rule and I truly think he's worthy of that massive honor. Goku likes to fight strong opponents and would be absolutely ecstatic to have the chance to test his mettle against the prestigious cast of Super Smash Bros!
I think while the video-game character only rule is the only true rule we can rely on for this game I also think that it's definitely still subject to a potential rulebreaker that Nintendo would be willing to play someday in order to generate hype and Goku is the perfect character for the job of "4th party exception" and I think he has the video game history to back himself up on top of being a Japanese and international icon.
Goku4Smash unironically!
Project X Zone might be up your alley.
You're right. However for the next game in the Super Smash Bros. series in general I'm not at all sure if I want or not 4th party characters.
Hey, little kid.
Yeah. So?
I appreciate that. I notice you were the first to like it in its heavily fresh phase which is especially nice of you to say because like all my other big posts it was quite atrocious when it was initially posted. I think I have it where I like it now. I included better more thorough descriptions and more visual references.
Advance Wars 1+2 not even promised for 2022 anymore. Just a big old TBA. Same as Metroid Prime 4.

And with Zelda pushed to next year, a big open spot late in Nintendo's 2022 calendar. Wonder what'll show up there. pic.twitter.com/KhoFdWttD4
i thought there was some curious looking titles. but then i do usually have the unpopular opinion
We still don't have a port of Nintendo Land, Star Fox Zero and Xenoblade Chronicles X for the Switch.
FWIW, the people who worked on Star Fox Zero wanna see it ported, though that doesn't guarantee anything...
I think it could very easily be another Zelda game - specifically a 2D one. I think now is a bit too soon to re-release WWHD and TPHD (SSHD is less than a year old), but Link's Awakening was released in 2019 - that's enough time for Grezzo to make a new 2D Zelda (I don't think their whole team was working on Miitopia). I'm not entirely sure what that game could be, but I think an interesting idea would be to let them make the unreleased third Oracle game - it would be easy to re-use a lot of the assets from Link's Awakening, and would give them an opportunity to experiment with creating new content. They could also remake one of the DS games or ALBW, less intensive but also less interesting.
I feel like it would have to be something like Ness or Lucas's PSI Magnet or Robin's Nosferatu, where the user would need to be actively involved in the fighting in order to heal any damage. Letting someone camp and heal indefinitely seems like it would be broken, especially on stages like Great Cave Offensive, Temple, or New Pork City.
We never made any comments of this nature. We have no idea who @DanielLindholm says his 'close friends' of the family are, but his comments are entirely false surrounding the Bruce Lee Family.

Great, now I feel stupid for bringing it up...
One idea that I had that I think could be really cool for a healer character is Raziel from Soul Reaver. For those that have never played the game, Raziel was a vampire who was killed by his master and resurrected in the underworld as a wraith. As a wraith, he is cursed to constantly lose health. In the game, he can regain his health by killing enemies and absorbing their souls. In Smash, his attacks could all just drain all small percentage of health as a trade off for having a constant much weaker poison effect on himself. I’m not sure if that would translate to fun competitive gameplay due to encouraging his opponents to run away but it would definitely be unique.
And put Gilliam as a playable character so it's in-canon to the Bandai Namco crossover videogame multiverse.
The first game in the trilogy had Klonoa.
It would be very hard to balance something like this. It's a fine line between the healing being useless (which i would say most of the healing in Smash is) and it being overpowered. PMEX has a few characters with self-healing (Ivysaur and Black Knight are the ones I can remember), and while I don't think they're particularly broken I don't follow the game's competitive scene so I can't say for sure.
It's very depressing that twitter still seems to exist in the afterlife. These people are supposed to be at peace.
well why not count kirby and yoshi? particularly the kirby that came out this year
