Gold Flower = Mario Series
To what end? What use is an item that only benefits one Fighter?
I think the idea here is that the ink produced by the item would be tied to the fighter that uses it.
Ah, I see. Even with the damage boost, still seems like it'd be of limited use to someone that doesn't use it for movement or refueling.
I've personally wanted Rambi as a full playable character for a LONG time, I know he's an AT shoo-in given his canonical role, and it might be hard to make a moveset for a quadruped with such stiff and stubby limbs, but I think he'd be really fun as a superspeedy ultraheavyweight. I do prefer him as DK's 4th rep over Dixie at least.
In the traditional sense, not really. But in the side modes, kinda. One of the items I put on my list of five was the V-Ball from the volleyball side mode.
Cool! I was wondering where you got the idea it's pretty neat.
couple bombs, couple healers
Yeah, I definitely understand why a lot of people are frustrated about the way Little Mac is portrayed in Smash. It's never fun to have a character is hyper unpowered relative to the rest of the cast and constantly feeling like Sisyphus as you have to work to regain a lead after being caught off stage once. I played Little Mac in Smash for Wii U for a bit, so I have some personal experience with the character and some match-ups can get pretty brutal (
was a special kind of pain). I also really want him to feel better at a competitive level and I hope he comes back in the next Smash with the tools to be a real character and not just some spectacle who is only noteworthy for being garbage. and fulfill Little Mac's archetype a lot better than him. They're characters with major mobility issues that nevertheless get by with powerful grounded options that allow them to approach the neutral in novel ways and easily capitalize off certain advantage states. It's a little sad that the Minecraft character is more built around weak, multi-hit combos than the Punch-Out character, who instead has to rely on patiently racking up stray, powerful hits. I know these two aren't the most balanced characters in the world, but I do think there is proof that Little Mac's poor competitive performance is a product of being undertuned rather than conceptually unworkable.
Honestly I'm surprised Splatoon didn't get a single items in Ultimate. It just feels like most sub weapons would work naturally as an items, especially the Sprinkler, the Autobomb or Toxic mist. Rainmaker could be super fun too, and other Special weapons like Ink storm and Inkzooka could work very well too.
I don't really get why is Breidablik even that popular to be honest. Wouldn't it be just an assist trophies for Fire emblem characters? How would it be different than current assist? Maybe I'm missing something because I never played Heroes but I don't see the point of "Assist trophies but for one franchise" when we already have an items that combine every franchise (and I know we have Pokéball, but this make sense because they precede the Assist trophies concept).
Because Fire Emblem has a large cast of characters with different classes much like Pokemon, so a Pokeball-like item for Fire Emblem characters would allow characters who could never appear in Smash Bros. due to their class or whatnot, like Pegasus Knights like Caeda and the Whitewing Sisters or Cavalry characters like Xander or Reinhardt, Wyvern Riders like Minerva or Camilla and a whole lot of other classes like Armor Knights, Archers, Mages, Healers, Beast units like Kitsunes or Laguz, etc.
Because Fire emblem has hundreds of characters so to avoid annoying people by making them playable making them a summon just makes sense.
I would not mind a playable Rambi. Though now that I think about it, isn't it weird how DK never got an Assist Trophy until Ultimate, and it didn't even end up being an animal buddy? You'd think they'd pick someone like Squawks or Rambi or Squitter or something.
Kamek would also make a lot of sense for a Yoshi assist. Again, I'd rather have him playable, but he would be cool as an assist too.
I think both characters would be very fun to see in the game. Kamek especially, we could use a pure mage character. Yoshi as a whole deserves better in this series lol
Fire Emblem needs it's own Pokeball item. Some kind of banner that when you throw it, it summons a random FE character.
Kamek would make the most sense as a Mii Mage costume.
I'm not sure if Mega Man would be the next in line to receive another character, particularly over Sonic or Street Fighter, but if we do get another Mega Man character it's pretty much guaranteed to be one of those two. I'd wager Zero is in pretty great shape in particular getting that AT billing, a Mii Costume and being upgradable to a 4-star spirit.
I've only seen a few Stork advocates in my time on this earth, but man if they aren't dedicated to their character pick.... mad respect. Stork isn't my first choice for a Yoshi rep but its unique body shape practically guarantees a moveset that'll stand out from the rest of the cast, and that's before you add baby characters into the mix (like you said).
I would straight up have Poochy as the 2nd Yoshi rep.
Fighters of non-conventional shapes / species are literally my favorite kinds of characters in the series and I wish we got more of them. Kirby, Ivysaur, R.O.B., Duck Hunt, and Piranha Plant are just a few of my favorite examples. Some new faces I'd like to see with funny anatomy would be Poochy, Boggy B (from Worms), The Prince of All Cosmos (assuming the Katamari is basically the main fighter), Bulborb, and the Space Invaders. As an avid moveset writer, it's super fun trying to design moves for any given oddball character, especially if they lack conventional limbs.
Same character like Sukapon, space invaders, moai from gradius, red from angry birds, Tetromino, gem from bejeweled and hornet from Daytona would be funny to have
can i interest you in a floating teapot?
ah yes, the best ground type
Geno Boost
mentioned it, I think Angry Birds is very slept on in Smash speculation. A very major IP that, while having minimal appearances on Nintendo consoles, would be easy to sell to a Nintendo-based fandom due to how pretty much everyone owns a phone or tablet regardless of hardware loyalty, also a zoomer nostalgia pick, which worked out very well for a certain racially-ambigious blockhead. Even without the Sega buyout, AB feels like as much of a no-brainer as someone like Ryu or Pac-Man both in terms of "should it happen?" and "could it happen?" (I will say that, being as side-character-pilled as I am, I'd prefer the Bad Piggies over the birds, driving around in their box cars, but either is fine)
Its genuinely one of my favorite Pokemon introduced in Gen 7. That said, sticking to ground types, I'm also fond of the ideas of playable Mudbray and Golurk. Golurk does have a more conventional humanoid shape, but come on, I can't say no to the big ghost robot. I imagine they could even take a little inspiration from how Sentinel was designed in the Marvel vs Capcom series. Also he happens to be another Ground/Ghost. That type combo is consistently good design wise at least.
