SAKURAAAI! (Pokémon Trainer Confirmed)

[Kunitsuna]

WHAT HAST THOU DONE!?!?

What are your opinions on this?

 

[nuc]

all i gotta say is... WTF?

 

[jmic]

Seriously. WTF mate? It's like a more controllable version of the Ice climbers I guess?

 

[ilabb]

HAHAHA YES.

VERY YES ON SO MANY LEVELS.

"OMG A POKEMON TRAINER CAN'T BE IN BRAWL"

Eat it.

 

[Gypsy Lee]

What. The. ***.

 

[WuTangDude]

It was a VERY unexpected move. I guess this means no Lucario.

Ah well, seems like an innovative idea too add more Poke'mon without overepresenting an already heavily represented series. Come at this with an open mind, because this character seems like he'd have a lot of potential.

 

[commonyoshi]

What? Seriously? Agh! The site isn't coming up because of maintenance problems. You're kidding, aren't you? There's no way a pokemon trainer is a character. >_>

Edit: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGJJGJGJGJGGJHHH! What the heck? This is terrible.

 

[Shakezoola]

Just as I expected

you ***s sucked the awesome out of it

 

[Chrisiscool]

Woah

WOW I THOUGHT OF SOMETHING SO SIMILAR A FEW MONTHS BACK.
I THOUGHT OF AN ASSIST TROPHY CALLED ASH THAT THREW VENASOUR CHARIZARD AND BLASTOISE ALL AT THE SAME TIME AT RANDOM POINTS OF THE STAGE.
THIS CAME KINDA CLOSE =]

except that this is an actual character.


cool =]

 

[Paranoid_Android]

Cool. So I wonder what limitations there are to keep you from swapping out in the middle of an opponent's combo? I suppose in order to "tag," they have to be standing on solid ground, or something.

 

[ilabb]

A thought occurs.

How would he do an adventure mode?

 

[Circus]

Voice 1: HOLY ****. WHAT A UNIQUE CHARACTER. It's like the Zelda/Sheik transformation, only there's THREE. ****ing sweet.

Voice 2: . . . Red's in the ****ing game? He doesn't deserve the ****ing honor. Ivysaur, Charizard, and Squirtle are the one's doing all the work anyway, why's he getting any credit? Lame.

I don't know, I'm not really excited or disappointed—I'm mostly just shocked. This is seriously one of the characters that I was almost SURE had no chance of making it. No one's really off limits anymore.

. . . Does anyone else think that made Red kind of ugly? I mean, he was never much of a looker to begin with but jeez.

 

[Killer Tree]

I think it looks sweet! Pokemon trainer in the background, controllable pokemon you can switch out for different situations.



I just found my new main.

 

[Biggie Smalls]

This has to be a joke...if he was going to do this he should of at least used sinnoh pokemon. Stamina??? What an idiot... at least it's kind of cool we can control pokemon besides Pikachu mewtwo Jiggly puff Pichu and Lucario.

 

[solrac_krad]

a-we-some Id say, really

 

[Dragon Master Luigi]

I can't wait to play Charizard, imagine Bowser vs. Donkey Kong vs. Charizard vs. Ganondorf or Ridley?
or just Bowser vs. Charizard vs Donkey Kong* big beasts match

 

[Kunitsuna]

Being a bit more calm in face of this unexpected event, I´ll say that I like how the "transforming" character this time around seems to have more balance.

Plus, this might mean no further playable Pokémon. Would be nice.

 

[Ignatius]

What? Seriously? Agh! The site isn't coming up because of maintenance problems. You're kidding, aren't you? There's no way a pokemon trainer is a character. >_>

Edit: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGJJGJGJGJGGJHHH! What the heck? This is terrible.

He's not really, he's in the background as he issues his commands to his pokemon.

 

[Bassoonist]

It's hard to beat this, guys.

Most people considered Red/Pokemon Trainer a terrible idea, but Sakurai made it perfect.

I'm excited. XD

Are you dense?

Pikachus IN ONE OF THE PICTURES

Plus, I believe he was confirmed weeks ago.

 

[Biggie Smalls]

I'm excited. XD

It seems by far you support any character you find out about. Every character thread, even the cackletta point I made, the toxicroak joke, you even supported it.

 

[Killer Tree]

Imagine it's FINAL SMASH!


:O

 

[commonyoshi]

Cool. So I wonder what limitations there are to keep you from swapping out in the middle of an opponent's combo? I suppose in order to "tag," they have to be standing on solid ground, or something.

I think it'll pretty much be like Sheik/Zelda's transformation. There will be lag and all that junk.

Innitial shock asside, squirtle and freakin' ivysaur are playable in the game. Seriously, IVYSAUR. He's the first Smash character which fights on all fours at all times, right? I know in the pokedex he can stand on his legs in the GBA/DS games, but from the screen shots he's always on all fours.

I guess I just didn't like the idea of Charizard which screwed the whole update over. And at first I thought the pokemon might be weaklings which is why there were three of them, but it could just be three characters wrapped into one. That'd be a better way of looking at it.

So ivysaur and squirtle are in the game. Cool.
Charizard and Red can go murder each other.

 

[nealdt]

I think it's a brilliant idea. Don't overload the game with Pokemon; just fit 3 of them into one character, thereby introducing a very very unique playstyle. Ice Climbers in Melee set a new standard for unique fighting game characters and it looks like Sakurai is raising the bar again.

 

[freeman123]

I guess you beat me to making this topic, oh well...

This is the coolest new character they've announced so far. Think of it as Zelda/Sheik, only instead of two characters in one we get three. Do you realize how awesome it is that Squirtle, Charizard, and Ivysaur are all playable characters. Especially Squirtle!

Hopefully you'll be able to choose which one you want to start with somehow. Like Squirtle could be default, to start as Charizard you hold A, and to start as Ivysaur you hold B, or something like that.

 

[Biggie Smalls]

.
That's horrible. That means there's a loss of the badass Mewtwo and the soon to be badass Lucario. It doesn't however justify no more playable pokemon.

 

[a1j2h5]

yes..yes.....YES!!!!! a great character addition, something new and original. Might be my new fav. character.
Can't wait for Brawl, come on December! Hurry it up.

 

[Circus]

Imagine it's FINAL SMASH!


:O

Dude. I didn't even think of that. I have NO idea what they're going to do with that. This is actually so exciting. I still don't like Red himself, but the originality of all of this is blowing my mind. This is going to be a crazy character.

 

[Kunitsuna]

Oh, yes it is. Pokémon representation should have ended with Pikachu and all those Poké Ball-jumping critters. Still, I think it´s a much better idea than Lucario or Mewtwo, so whatever.

 

[solrac_krad]

imagine the final smash, that is gonna be awesome

 

[Killer Tree]

A thought occurs.

How would he do an adventure mode?

He would run along with them. Like Mickey from the Rocky movies.


Trainer: YOU'RE A BUM CHARIZARD! A BUM! PUNCH THAT MEAT! NOW USE FLAMETHROWER! STOMP THAT GOOMBA!

 

[mukoe890]

a whole new level of depth is being added to brawl. i just hope that there won't be a broken pokemon and it turns into the new sheik. i can't wait to see charizard maneuver around the stage=]

 

[Fulgor]

SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DID YOU DO THIS?

Instead of putting some advance wars characters or another characters of an obscure nintendo franchise, you come with this ***gotry?

I dare to say that I'm gonna **** your family, your sons, your ***** wife, if I MEET YOU!

I hope that you read this mother****er, becuase you're gonna pay for it!!!!

AHHHHHHHHH, WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!?

 

[Jekyll]

.
That's horrible. That means there's a loss of the badass Mewtwo and the soon to be badass Lucario. It doesn't however justify no more playable pokemon.

I'm pretty sure there'll be more playable pokemon. Just not many/any new ones. After all, Pikachu is still playable.

The REAL question is about how interesting PkmnTrainer dittos might be. Will Squirtle do twice as much stamina damage to Charizard???

 

[cubaisdeath]

The way I see it, awesome choice. I still want to see another pokemon rep in there, but you can only do so much. I think pokemon trainer will be an interesting character. Imagine the combo videos with pokemon switches and ****. omg. I can't wait. I also want to know if you can swap in mid air. say your squirtle is falling off the stage, and you call him back and swap with bulba before the boundary....do you save your stock? I wanna try this stuff out.
