I mean, Master Hand is good pick, but I preferred Nintendo Man, because of Smash bros being Nintendo Allstars and Nintendo Man is NES made by Nintendo, yknow?

Job 74:
Unira (Resubmission)


Acts same like in Smash.
I do like the idea of Nintendo Man, and I think he’d be a great boss in place of Tabuu for Smash 3’s Adventure Mode.

I think the roster is pretty good and some really neat choices. Some characters did miss out on the roster (Zelda, Game & Watch, third parties, etc.), but there's always the upcoming Smash 3 thread, which I'm looking forward to. By the way, how will cuts be handled? Will we vote on who has to go?

Also, had I known that there would be four submissions for clones, lining up with the empty slots left, and no votes, I probably would've submitted Marill as a water based clone of Pikachu over Toad. I don't regret submitting Toad, nor do I want him switched out, as I think he serves as a nice tribute to the old rumor of him being playable in Melee, but with hindsight, I would've waited until the next thread to submit him.
Compared to the actual Melee roster, it is nice to see ours adding major characters missing the original game (Wario, Diddy, Dedede) and giving Ganon(dorf) a unique moveset. Also, Giygas is a really interesting choice of a clone that I would’ve never thought of. Outside of the obvious (Zelda and Third Parties), I’m curious to see which Pokemon and retros get added. I forgot to mention this, but I like seeing how the frontrunners for both the original and alternate Smash 2 poll made the cut (Bowser in the original, Wario, Dedede, Peach, Ganon, Mewtwo, and in ours Yoshi and Ness)
In terms of cuts, I’ll probably do it similar to this thread where we vote for which characters should stay, but the characters will be pooled into unique (everyone except clones and Luigi) and “clones”, Our Smash 3 roster will be similar to Brawl‘s where it gets 32 unique newcomers (including Snake and Sonic; Snake will be one of the opening prompts since he was a personal request from Kojima) and 7 “clones” (I’m counting Jigglypuff in this group since it has a similar model to Kirby)
I kind of did the all submissions idea being added last minute since we were almost done with the thread, so I thought that adding everyone’s submissions would be nice to see.

Do you think it would be possible to bring a unique veteran back over Wolf/the empty pseudo clone slot? I only ask because I've seen someone mention it before and I think the timing could work out; he had slightly less time put into him than a completely distinct newcomer, but I think it could be enough to have someone return. Just a thought, I can understand if things may not be able to actually work out.

This was fun. I managed to get a fighter in (Diddy Kong) along with a bit of Pokèball Pokémon. Hopefully I get to join more, as long as there is less crashing of this sight (the reason why I don’t post as often)

There'll be more to cover, as the next game is bigger than the last two, so don't worry about it.

I‘d like to say yes, but it probably wouldn’t be possible since Mewtwo was the only unique veteran left out on the original roster, and I saw another thread that supposedly Mewtwo was cut because it was difficult to reuse it’s Melee’s assets, meaning that it’s development time would be similar to a newcomer’s. (I can think about this before we get to that point since this would be near the end of Smash 3).

I’m happy to hear you liked this. There is one more Pokemon prompt for this thread, and there’ll be three more threads for the upcoming entries.

From the items, there were two nominations: Lip’s Stick ( Pupp135 Pupp135 ) and Unira ( Tankman from Newgrounds Tankman from Newgrounds ), both of which will be added. Since one more item can be added, the first submission will be added by default.

For Ness’s moveset, we’ll stick with the original one.

For King Dedede, there is a poll to decide if his side and down specials are going to be his original moves or if they should be respectively changed to Hammer Throw and Hammer Spin.

Job 76: Submit a Pokemon and how it would work.

I'll submit another event.

Terrorsome Trio:
You play on Meta Crystal as a character of choice against Black Shadow, Giygas, and Mewtwo. It's basically Troublesome Trio, but with the three remaining villains (counting the first Pokémon movie for Mewtwo) and a different stage.

Job 76:

Since its current form is a playable character and its baby counterpart is a Pokeball summon, I figured I may as well Pikachu's evolution in the form of Raichu. It uses Tail Whip as its attack.

For our last Pokemon, there will be a poll to decide between Raichu ( Butters Stotch Butters Stotch ) and Zapdos ( Tankman from Newgrounds Tankman from Newgrounds )

Also, Dedede‘s side and down specials are respectively Hammer Throw and Hammer Spin.

The next job is to add a stage and describe how it would work.

I’m going to renominate Goldenrod City, which works similar to Saffron City.

Zapdos is the winner of the poll for the last pokemon, so it will be added.

All Star Event: Mario’s Friends and Rivals
Order: Luigi (Mushroom Kingdom), Peach (Princess Peach’s Castle), Yoshi (Yoshi’s Island), Wario (Wario’s Castle), Bowser (Bowser‘s Castle)

All Star Event: Newcomers
Order: Diddy Kong (Bramble Blast), Ness (Onett), King Dedede (Fountain of Dreams), Ganon (Pyramid of Power), Mewtwo (Pokemon Stadium)

I’ll submit a few events later

1. Pupp135

(accidentally put the votes in the wrong order)

Here are some names I came up with for my submissions:
  • All-Star Battle 3: Out of this World
  • All-Star Battle 4: Side Marios
  • All-Star Battle 5: Royal Rumble
The first two can just have their decades named (1980s and 1990s respectively).

As it was featured in Melee, but no other Smash game, I'll submit the Cloaking Device from Perfect Dark. When we get to doing Smash 3/Brawl, I'll submit another item with the same purpose and function (like the Vanish Box or the Stealth Suit from Star Fox Assault).

While I originally mentioned that the first submitted item would be selected, there will be a poll since the submissions were close enough.


Last Jobs: List which characters (note, the original 8 were Mario, Excitebiker, Link, Samus, Marth, Kirby, Fox, and Pikachu) and stages should be unlockable, and state their criteria. Also, submit any special alts that you would like to add.

For my unlockable fighters, I’ll go with the six clones in addition to Mewtwo, Diddy, Ganon, Ness, and King Dedede.
Criteria
Toad: Beat Classic/Adventure Mode as Peach or play 20 matches.
Diddy: Beat Classic/Adventure Mode or play 10 matches

Roy: Beat Classic Mode as Marth or play 160 matches
King Dedede: Beat 10 events or play 60 matches

Duel Zone: Beat all event matches

Before I submit additional alts, I want to first submit an armorless alt for Samus and a Daisy alt for Peach since armorless Samus was an Easter Egg/spoiler in Metroid, and Daisy has a similar appearance to Peach.
Debut appearance

I’ll submit a couple more events

It’s My Turn to Be the Hero
Player Character: Toad
Stage: Bowser‘s Castle
This is similar to Princess in Peril in Melee, except the stage is Bowser‘s Castle

1639821204363.jpeg

Since I don't want to go overboard with special alts, as I have quite a few ideas, I'll just submit Mach Rider (for Excitebiker) and Raichu. Mach Rider gives us further retro representation and can fit over Excitebiker well, as they both ride motorcycles. Raichu is compensation for the lack of a Pokémon clone and is quite popular.

Giygas:

Do you think we should have a limit to how many third parties should be in Brawl? Nothing against them, but I don’t think it would be a good idea to dedicate most newcomer slots to them.

I have to wonder who will get cut.
I’ll limit it to at most 2 or 3 third-party fighters (excluding Snake, who will be decided on from a poll since he was a personal request from Kojima).
For cuts, I can only really see clones and maybe Ness getting cut, so newer semi-clones like Wolf, Dixie, and Lucas join.

I feel like Sonic should probably make it in. After that I'd argue Megaman is the third most likely but a case could be made for characters like Bomberman, Banjo and Pac-Man, amoung others. Its gonna be tough to choose.
I believe Sonic, Banjo and Pacman are gonna be likely ones to Join.
