Job 39: Submit a Special Smash mode and how it would work.

I’ll do Invisible Smash since that wasn’t added yet.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

JOB 39:
Sudden Smash

The Smash Special Mode could be on Sudden Death, where the Bov-Ombs fall from Sky and you need to survive before you die.

 

[Butters Stotch]

Job 39:
Submitting All-Star Versus from Project M. It plays similarly to Squad Strike in Ultimate and the final battle in Smash Tour. Yes, it involves multiple characters as stocks, but given that Melee featured a duo character, a transformation character, and originally Ditto, I think it could be pulled off.

 

[Pupp135]

Since there are 10 special smash modes in Melee, all three nominations (invisible. sudden death, tag team) will be added.

Job 40: Make the first two all-star events. For these events, specify if the characters are fought continuously on one stage (Like Brawl and For Wii U) or if they are fought on the different stages (Melee’s)

For my first all-star event, I do one with Mario characters where Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Yoshi, and Peach (in this order) are fought on Princess Peach’s Castle.

For the second all-star event, I’ll have one where Excitebiker, Samus, Kirby, Fox, and Captain Falcon are fought on Sector Z.

 

[Butters Stotch]

Job 40:

The first match I'm submitting features five 80s reps (Mario, DK, Excitebiker, Link, and Samus in that order). They're fought on Princess Peach's Castle, (first DK stage that gets submitted), Excitebike Bun Bun Mario Stadium, Great Bay, and Norfair.

The second match has 90s reps, being Marth, Captain Falcon, Kirby, Fox, and Pikachu. Again, they're fought on different stages (Castle Siege, Mute City, Rock Star, Out of this Dimension, and PokeFloats).

 

[Pupp135]

Here are the nominations:
Pupp135 Mario (Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi) and Mostly Space Themed (Excitebiker, Samus, Captain Falcon, Kirby, Fox) (All on one stage like Brawl/For Wii U)
Butters Stotch 80s SSB64 characters (Mario, DK, Excitebiker, Link, Samus) and 90s SSB64 characters (Marth, Captain Falcon, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu) (All on different stages like Melee)

Job 41: Submit a Pokemon Stage and how it works.

For my next Pokemon stage, I’ll nominate Goldenrod City, which would have a similar layout to Saffron City, except buildings are replaced with things associated with Goldenrod City like the radio tower.

 

[Butters Stotch]

Job 41:

Resubmitting Sprout Tower. because it was originally considered for Melee. It would be a simplistic stage, with players fighting on the outside of the tower and using its floors as platforms. Flying Pokemon make cameos in the background.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Job 41:
Pokemon Stadium

I'll resubmit Pokemon Stadium. It works like Same as in Real Smash.

 

[Pupp135]

Here are the nominations
Pupp135 Goldenrod City
Butters Stotch Sprout Tower
Tankman from Newgrounds Pokemon Stadium

Vote for your two most wanted stages, where your submission is not first.

1. Pokemon Stadium
2. Goldenrod City

Also, we’ll use the event matches that Butters Stotch submitted (80s SSB characters and then 90s SSB characters).

Does anyone know when development began for Gen 3 or at least when concept art was drawn up? I recall the OP stating that Pokemon from the first three generations were allowed (despite the one year gap between Melee and Ruby & Sapphire) and I'm thinking of submitting one here, as well as adding it to another thread post.

If I said Gen 3 was ok, that was a mistake since Gen 3 shouldn’t be available/allowed until our alternate Smash 3. I’m sorry if I caused earlier confusion.

That's okay. Thanks for clearing things up. Development may have began a short while before Melee's release, but a character probably wouldn't be available unless it was at the last minute.

Goldenrod City 1
Sprout Tower 6
Pokemon Stadium 8

Pokemon Stadium is our second Pokemon stage.

Job 42: Submit an Item and how it would work.
I’ll renominate the Screw Attack item:

I’ll nominate the Screw Attack, which works like the other SSB games.

 

[Pupp135]

I’ll give a few more hours before moving to the next job (sixth newcomer in this case)

 

[Butters Stotch]

Job 42:

Submitting the Green Shell, as it's an iconic Mario item. Same as it's been since Smash 64.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

Job 42:
Power Glove (Nintendo)

When equipped, it shoots out Pixels with low Damage and it gives you stronger Jab or Smahs Attack.

Green Shell is our next item.

Job 43: Submit a newcomer (debuted before 2000), and explain why this character would be a good addition.


For this nomination, I’ll choose beast Ganon from the Legend of Zelda series since Ganon is the main antagonist of the series, and he is one of the most notable Nintendo villains at the time along with Bowser and K. Rool.

 

[Butters Stotch]

Job 43:

Actually, after thinking it through, I'll submit Toad instead of Pit. Yes, this means that we'll have five Mario characters, but it's still the biggest Nintendo series and is responsible for saving the gaming industry (and the game that did it just so happened to be Toad's debut). Besides, things can change with future newcomer submissions, clones, and the hypothetical Smash 3. The alternate Smash 64 thread had three Mario characters and one of them doubled as a boss.

Toad is one of the most iconic Mario characters and has been with the series since the NES days, predating both Wario and Yoshi, managed to get his own spin-off game in the form of Wario's Woods, and is probably one of the biggest omissions from the Smash series. He even managed to place in the top 10 for the original Smash 2 poll and received more votes than Diddy Kong and Marth. Having him in would also be a neat callback to the rumor of him being a hidden character in Melee and would round off the primary Mario cast. His moveset could be based on Super Mario Bros. 2, Wario's Woods, and the many Mario spin-offs.

 

[Tankman from Newgrounds]

JOB 43:
Ice Climbers (Ice Climbers)

Ice Climbers (Popo and Nana) are main characters of the NES game of the Same Name. The Climbers try to get their food on top of Glacier, which was stolen by Condor. The Game is about Climbing like on NES Game.

Their Moveset could be like in Real Smash, but their new up B is Condor, who flies high upwards like Duck Hunt Jump and the Rope Special is now Passive Ability for Ice Climbers along with returning one like Duo Character and Reverse Traction. They could be cool NES representatives due to Status in Real Smash and their unique gameplay.

JOB 43:

Marina Liteyears (Mischief Makers), coming from one of the few 2.5D platformers that made into the Nintendo 64. She can be a hybrid between a rushdown and a grappler, with her throws being long while causing 1.7% of damage. Also uses the enemies from that game as specials.

Isn't she Square Enix IP tho?
Because third Parties as Playables are not Allowed, but as Collectible Trophies, then yes.

Nevermind, along with Geno stuff.
Marina is like 2nd Party, then she can join, since she was made by Treasure and it made Sin and Punishment as Nintendo IP, so we could include her.

Off-Topic, but that's a really amazing mental gymnastic. OK, let's return to Smash 2.

She sounds like a great choice. I'm a little sad we didn't get that many 2/2.5D platformers on the N64.

Ridley
One of the biggest Nintendo villians and a character who was much requested for Smash in the real universe until he finally got in. It would be interesting to see how Ridley would fit in a game like melee.

Edit: swapped my submssion out.

 

[BowserKing]

Lugia

Lugia is a Legendary Pokémon from the Johto region and a psychic/flying type combo that would fit in smash
