[PhantomEdge]

wow this is pretty tough, i cant decide who would be better for brawl, samuraih goroh or takamaru, i would hope that both of them would make it.

 

[SupaSmashBrotha]

Just saw the vids and this guy pwns.

 

[FlipTroopa]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU ARE ALL FALLING TO MY WILL! BOW, MINIONS! BOW BEFORE TAKAMARU FTW!!! >:o

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

:bows in worship: Oh great Takamaru-sama...

 

[Super Smash Master]

This is unrelated, but there is a manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan called Nazo no Murasame-kun. I thought it was interesting. hahahaha

 

[SupaSmashBrotha]

Does it have the same chars if so then... NOOOOOOOOO!!!

P.S. I'm only saying that b/c he has kind of Anime feel to him which would suggest that he originated from anime/manga.

There was a Mario manga AND american comic books AND live action movie AND anime movie AND anime OVA's, a Metroid manga, a Legend Of Zelda manga, an F-Zero anime, and there is going to be an Animal Crossing anime movie.

I think Takamaru is safe

 

[Super Smash Master]

I think the name is a coincidence. It is about a kid who is a ninja in modern times and he has to protect his family or something.

 

[Wizzlecroff]

I couldn't even find this guy on Wikipedia, I don't think he has a chance of being in Brawl nor do i think he deserves to.

In that case, Takamaru FTW!

1. He has a really big chance
2. Why doesn't he deserve it?

Was he in an American Game or just Japanese?

only japanese unfortunaty but heck, so was FE6, but that didn't stop roy.

 

[Wizzlecroff]

Yes, but this time has actually been stated that Sakurai doesn't really want Japanese only characters in brawl since it's emmense popularity everywhere.

 

[LukeFonFabre]

He hasn't said he's not going to though. In fact, he even said he might add some Japan only characters due to Marth and Roy being so popular (and in effect brought FE outside of Japan). Plus he's shown a lot of interest in Takamaru, so if Sakurai adds any Japan only characters, he's one of the most likely.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Yes, but this time has actually been stated that Sakurai doesn't really want Japanese only characters in brawl since it's emmense popularity everywhere.

What he means is that he doesn't want to add too many, but I'm sure 1 or 2 might be fine. If Skaurai wants to appeal to the world wide popularity, he better add Mike from Star Tropics darnit!

 

[Wizzlecroff]

Actually it is undecided if they want to add anymore or not. Marth and Roy were popular(Marth more than Roy), so they still don't know if they will add anymore or not.

Oh well, we may never know until it's too late

If he was going to add more J only charcters, Takamaru would be a good addition none the less

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

Yeah... Takamaru definentley takes priority when it comes to the Japanese-only characters, followed by Demille, IMHO.

 

[Lord_Deathborne]

*IMMA CHARGIN' MAH LAZ- I MEAN BUMP!*

'Cuz Takamaru NEEDS some love...

 

[FlipTroopa]

I once knew a man named BUMP

That's right, kids. Takamaru is BACK, and he needs some love.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

That's right, kids. Takamaru is BACK, and he needs some love.

He has mine Takamaru ftw!

 

[Bowserlick]

Another fuedal sword character? Samurai Goroh deserves to be the only samurai that gets in, if one has to get in. He seems to have more flavor and personality to base a moveset on. Although I guess Takamaru would add representation to an unrepresented game. But I see Takamaru has more sword heavy then Goroh. Its a tough decision.

 

[parrothead]

*BUMP*

Here is a person playing the "Mystery of Murasame Castle" main theme using his electric guitar:

Sorry dude, but Takamaru >>>>>>>>>> Goroh...

@ parrothead: Interesting rendition and not bad at all for a solo piece. I've had a variation of that tune tune floating around in my head for some time now... too bad I can't play the guitar... >.<

 

[FlipTroopa]

Samurai Goroh could also play pretty well in the game, but he would definitely not be a sword heavy character. He'd likely use the sword for a few skills, but I can see him, just based on design and personality, fighting more with his body, akin to Ganon or Wario.

Takamaru would, like I've said before, be the TRUE Samurai addition to the game. He would rely almost solely on his sword, aside from his ability to toss kunai, and would play almost like an unholy lovechild between Marth and Link. Nazo was a very popular game in its day, and it was chosen out of dozens of NES games to be rereleased for the GBA in Japan. Nazo is referenced in other games, it appears a bunch of times on Sakurai's "list," and c'mon: it's freaking Japan. They LOVE their Samurai.

Trust me. TAKAMARU IS IN THE GAME. I was sure as hell about Marth in Melee, and now I'm feeling the same about Takamaru in Brawl. I can feel it.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Marth may have just been a coincidence. I wouldn't jump the gun about Takamaru, though. I think he woyuld be aawesome in the game, but about half of my mind really isn't expecting him.

 

[FlipTroopa]

CHOQUE!

..... I really want Takamaru to be in the trailer tonight, but chances are he'll just be one of those, "oh, another unlock, cool" after the game's release >.<

 

[GenG]

I don't think they will be showing any new characters, but some ingame footage (attacks, stages maybe) of the yet revealed ones.

And, about the "oh, another, cool"... you have to think about if Takamaru would be that a huge addition enough to be a boom, and that can only be acquired by a renowned character like Pit, Snake or any other third party character.
Although I would love to see Takamaru in Brawl, I just can't refrain to think that Smash Bros. needs to be more appealing for non Nintendo gamers. And characters like Snake are going to help with the issue.

 

[Devastlian]

I'll have to agree with FlipTroopa on this; it's just such a completely obvious choice with no contention. Watch the new trailer have Samus and Pit beating on Link and then Takamaru comes out of nowhere to lend a hand. That'd rule.

 

[FlipTroopa]

As figured, the trailer didn't include Takamaru, but alas! Another day! *bump*

He's gotta be in the game... just gotta...

 

[Deleted member]

Maybe...but we'll have to see.

I support this character, simply because Ninjas > Pirates.

 

[Devastlian]

Takamaru's a samurai. Or, I guess apprentice samurai/swordsman or whatever.

 

[woody72691]

wut game is he from???

 

[Devastlian]

This information can be found in the second sentence of the first post of this thread.

 

[woody72691]

hope he gets in, we need a someone that sweet in the game other than falcon

 

[xianfeng]

If marth gets in really only one more japan only character could make it, coming from a dead series I really don't think Takamaru deserves it as much as Stafy or Demiru

 

[GenG]

Dead as Kid Icarus, Balloon Fight and Ice Climbers? I'd say "latent". The game was ported to the GBA in 2004 and the main theme appears usually in every collection related to Famicom music.

If he were a worldwide character, he would be a shoe in. It's rather sad that some of the most interesting characters are Japan-only.

 

[xianfeng]

Difference being that Kid Icarus, Baloon Fight and Ice Climbers were world wide and not restricted to Japan only, Japan only characters are limited and I don't think that Retro Japan Only Characters are as deserving as modern Japan only characters.

Again, what's to be said about Marth? He was Japan-only, and appeared in two games released well before the time of Melee. There really is nothing holding Takamaru back, other than most non-Japanese games not knowing who he is. But that was the case with Marth anyways, wasn't it?

He's still really likely, and just by saying that I feel Takamaru is going to appear doesn't prevent the inclusion of other fan favorites. I think that's the major concern with a lot of people on the internet concerning Brawl, that the vintage selections will "take spots" that more popular and modern characters deserve, when, really, they're sharing the game. The roster can be as big as Sakurai wants it to be; nobody is preventing anybody from being included.
