Created by Namco, and from the Splatterhouse Series, Rick Taylor is the protagonist, and a zombie/alien/demon-fighting kind of guy. I was surprised he wasn't nominated yet. He has a potential, since he appeared on the Wii Virtual Console, right? And he also appeared in a Splatterhouse that was exclusive to the Famicon (NES). The game didn't follow the plot very well, but whatever.

List of games he's appeared in:
  • Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti (NES)
  • Splatterhouse (Arcade)
  • Splatterhouse (TurboGrafx-16)
  • Splatterhouse 2 (Sega Genesis)
  • Splatterhouse 3 (Sega Genesis)

Rick in various designs throughout his career. Characters in the order above.


Rick in Splatterhouse. I prefer this design in the game if he ever gets in...


The design of Terror Mask and Rick as shown in Splatterhouse 2.


The latest version of Rick.


Rick, with the power of the Terror Mask, could be an awesome character.


Moveset
A - Punch
AA - A lower punch, opposite arm
AAA - An uppercut
A over - He does a punch with his right arm.
A down - He kicks downward.
A up - He does a round-house kick (A kick in multiple directions) on the ground.

B - I couldn't think of anything, maybe a kick in the air?
B down - Rick gets a push to the direction he's facing and slides on the ground/air. To be more clear, he does his slide kick from the first Splatterhouse.
B up - He gets a push into the air.
B over - He does a strong punch.


Air:
A - He does a kick somewhat like Fox does in Melee.
A up - He punches in an upward direction, singing left to right, only once.
A down - Similar to Falcon/Ganondorf's A down, but without the shock effect afterward.


Grab:
A - When being Rick's victim, he holds them and he head-butts them.
Forward - He picks the victim up, and throws them.
Backward - He does the same, but throws them the opposite direction.
Up - Rick throws them into the air.
Down - Rick leaps up into the air, and does a backdrop on the enemy, shown below:


The pink dude on the left is doing nefarious tasks, while the guy the right is Rick, defeating the being.


Final Smash:
With the Smash Ball acting like Eldritch Orbs, Rick morphs into a monsterous, hulking being for a limited amount of time.

When Rick picks up items, he doesn't use them, he just throws them at his opponents, but a lot harder than usual.

Only during this state you may do this, pressing and holding A will use Rick skin to hit his enemies.

So, questions? Comments? Disagreements? What do you think about the idea?
This topic still needs to be revised a little bit.

Funny story, I was gonna make a joke topic with illustrations for my top 10 for Brawl. Rick was one of them because I love the Splatterhouse series.

Rick is awesome, but I expect the whiny babies of this forum to complain.

Wait, so what're you trying to say..? Does Rick not even have a chance? And is it me, or is this less deserving than spam..?

I have great doubts that Rick will be in, even though Namco and Nintendo are buddy buddy, and Splatterhouse has appeared on Nintendo consoles. If Namco is going to pick someone from thier line up for thier SINGLE pick for Brawl, if they get one, it would be thier timeless mascot, Pac-Man.

I think Rick is completely awesome. Splatterhouse is the first game I bought on the Virtual Console for that reason.

It would still be cool if he somehow was in. We'll only know when Brawl comes out.

And it's really not a bad topic, although his moveset is vastly incomplete. He's not even using Rick's choice of weapons, and ignored that he can do a slide kick. Also, the Splatterhouse games are very bloody and violent. It IS a horror series in addition to Beat-em-up. I don't think he'd have a chance because of that. Although... Snake does kill people in his games.

As I said, we'd have to see when Brawl comes out.

Chris, you DO know that Namco and Nintendo are superbuddies, right?

Leesee some Namco projects with Nintendo. Ooh, Mario Kart GP Arcade. That's part of the Trifoce Arcade Series. You know, the arcade machine Sega, Namco, and Nintendo made. Oh look, Pac Man is in it.

Super Mario Baseball, intriguing, another game with Mario in it.

Pac Man vs., Mario again....

What's this? Donkey Konga and Donkey Konga 2? You mean the Donkey Kong games that the Donkey Kong level and Final Smash are based off of? Wierd.

Oh look at this, Star Fox Assault.... hrm. Isn't that fancy?

Regardless of that, Rick has like no chance. I'm just commenting on your doubt of Namco.

Well... Okay, even if this topic is not very popular, it was still fun making the moveset. Although I did "sort of" talk about the slide kick as his B-down, but didn't make myself very clear. I edited it to say I was talking about it, but anyway, I guess I'll just let this die, or something. Nothing left to do, guess I gotta do something else in my spare time. Heheh... Eh... :ohwell:
