Shigesato itoi, creator of the mother series is currently working on a project related to mother.he tweeted that it "isn't a mother 4, but it will make mother more playable"

He tweeted about his favorite nastolgia from playing earthbound.he also thanked everyone at starmen.net.

This could be an EB remake, or localization of the other 2 games. If it is, a wider audience for mother would form. Maybe an extreme increase of support from fans could effect characters and etc in smash.opinions?

Doubt it. The series is already considered overepped by some, and I don't think a remake/compilation/anything short of a full new game will change any 3rd Mother reps chances.

Hopefully this'll mean Lucas will stay. And by the name of everything Holy, please let this come to Europe as well! We never even got EarthBound. :urg:

Porky would be awesome though. Like, really really awesome.

Ikr. Not a rerelease or compilation.itoi has kept quiet on details but based on his wanting to make it "playable", it could be presumed a localization( bringing to areas where it hasn't been released.)

Or it could be a remake/compilation, which he is trying to ensure will be localized.

The title confused me. I figured this would be about making Lucas and Ness say "PSI" since that's what it is in the states. My argument would have been PK sounds way cooler and flows a bit better.
I hope for Poo or Duster honestly. Or Flint. Flint is the coolest. But adding Poo would HOPEFULLY make Nintendo realize PK Rockin' and PK Love need to be Ness and Lucas's FS moves. I think just having the pixel animation for both moves Omega would work. Have it shoot out and hit a number of times for weak-ish damage and low KB till the last hit?
Mother 2 and 1 need more music taken from them that's exclusive to them. Especially an awesome version of Flying Man. Actually I feel Mother music should be medleys like "Mother" in Melee.
I didn't really love the music in Brawl. Just liked it. Mostly because it just didn't sound Mother-y. :c F-F-Fire!!! then Unfounded Revenge into Porky's Porkies would be fantastic. Maybe a tranquil song somewhere in there? Probably Gentle Rain.

I also really hope for a tourney legal Mother stage. And then a trillion not tourny legal.
In fact just make all the stages Mother.
Super Smash Mothers.

I think the names of the PSI attacks where called PK ´something´ in Mother 3 though? At least, it was in the fan translation. Dunno if it was also the case in the Japanese game.

As for other choices besides Porky, anything would work. Personally leaning to Flint, Poo, Duster, Kumatora and Jeff (cause he was an AT after all). Masked Man Clause would be nice as well, but very unlikely. I´d still place my bets on Porky the most.

Saturn Valley would in my opinion be the best possible Mother stage. Represents both EarthBound and Mother 3, and Mr.Saturn would finally have a home. And it would have wicked music. Otherwise, a resized New Pork City, or Moonside would be cool. Fourside also needs to return!

PK in Japanese. PSI in NA Earthbound.
And the fan translation probably didn't change because they seemed to do their best to have no name changes unless puns were lost in translation. So why change PK to PSI just cause Earthbound did it?

PK makes more sense anyway, since it means Psychokinetic, as opposed to whatever PSI stands for...

He is using Psychokinetic powers

I think it would probably get some more content as far as trophies/stickers/music etc, but I doubt a third character would become playable. Although I think Porky would be awesome.

Masked Man Claus is probably too good to be true. If Mother was at least as big as Fire Emblem, perhaps? But I don't see it happening. Sometimes I even think we'd be lucky to just keep Lucas. As many people are even suggesting Ness and Lucas should be merged into one character.

My biggest bet would be on Porky. Mainly cause he was a boss in Brawl, who was totally unexpected. A resized model of that version of Porky (about as big as Brawl's Bowser, but a little wider- Bowser himself should be bigger anyway) would make a nice fighter.

Maybe if Mewtwo returns, he could have Giygas-inspired constume though? As it seems Mewtwo was very much based on Mother 1's Giygas.





Speaking of, Ness should then of coarse have a Ninten-based costume as well. And speaking of, Ninten would make a nice additional character as well. Maybe give Ninten the PK Fire / PK Thunder classic Ness moveset, while Ness gets revamped specials? I'd be so awesome to have Ness use his own PSI attacks.

There are moves from the original Mother than are not in the later games.
Namely ones like PK Beam and 4th D. Slip, things that could be given to Ninten if he was his own character.

As for Ness, keep him the same and change Lucas. PK Freeze was a nice change, perhaps replace PK Fire with PK Ground (doesn't even need to be all that different; just make it aesthetically different from Brawl) and PSI Magnet with Lucas's own Refresh technique? He can keep PK Thunder.

I'd love Ninten to get in. I mostly like his fan character designs. The red, blue and white shirt with that awesome bandana scarf thing? He'd look so cool. And Ninten does use quite a bit of PSI that'd make his move set be his.
Lucas really needs new specials. He has so much lost potential there. But everything else should stay.
I think Ness needs to be reworked. I'm a Ness main in all three (four if you include P:M) games and I've always felt he was missing something. He just doesn't flow his attacks very well.

^^^^Agreed!
i was SO disapointed when i saw Lucas's specials on the dojo that morning. Ninten could easily have a sweet movest that differs from Ness and Lucas's but i dunno....i mean just look at what Sakurai decided upon...lol. and even though i would be thrilled beyond words to see Ninten get some love, i must say i'd rather have Porky. oh...and deff. a Saturn Valley stage!!!!!!

I doubt a re-release will do more than guarantee we get a new Earthbound stage.

Moonside for EarthBound or possibly a stage revamp with Fourside?? Meaning, the stage would shift from Fourside to Moonside like Caste Seige, or be chosen at random much like Spear Pillar?

Ideas for moveset changes for :noness:

Ness :ness2: :
B: PK Flash - similar in speed as Brawl, but strong and wide like in Melee. Damage wise then. Has a 1/8th chance of a OHKO (in which the other character would flash in a white light) and a 2/5th chance of shield breaker effect. Feeling dizzy already?
Side B: PK Paralysis a blast similar to Lucas' PK Fire, yet has a paralysing effect like Zero Suit Samus' blast. Does the same damage as ZSS' blast as well, and is as slow as PK Fire was.
Down B: PSI Magnet from Brawl. Has an innitial shockwave that sends projectiles as Pit's Arrows and Samus' missiles away as well, but would not reflect, much like Mewtwo's Confusion in Melee.
Up B: PK Teleport. Picture Ness running without going forward for 3 seconds, then circle around for slight impact around the 4-5 second mark then BOOM!! Crashes into the opponent with a mightly blast similar in strenght and effect to PK Thunder 2. Has to be charged 3 second on stage to use as a recovery off stage. Like DK's Giant Punch, would be a storable move. Can even 'misfire' like Luigi's Side B when uncharged, but only in the air. DANGER THOUGH: if Ness crashes into the stage instead of on the stage, effect would be like Diddy's barrels hitting the stage. An explosion occurs and Ness falls to his doom.

Ness also gets a bat attack for forward tilt which is faster than his F Smash, and looks kinda like the attack he does when he uses a battering weapon. Effect is still similar to what the rockhouse kick did, but with more range and disjointed hitbox now.

Up Tilt is done with a yo-yo now and has very nice range. He can juggle easily with this move.

Up Smash becomes a PK Rockin' blast, similar to Lucas somewhat, but with a multihitting blast instead of a strong attack. Down Smash is buffed in speed as well.

Lucas coming soon!

I was going to say, where the hell do people get the handkerchief around his neck in the fan drawings.

Then I remembered THIS

Yeah. It's not like taking cues from a commercial isn't farfetched, since Captain Falcon's black colors were inspired by the Japanese F-Zero X commercial (Sakurai mentioned this on Smash 64's Japanese website).
