Smashboards Creates: Expand-A-Franchise, Currently Expanding… Nothing!

[Torgo the Bear]

Kinky

Kinky spawns in his sprite form from Pac-Man Arrangement, as a parallel to the Ghosts who already appear as Assists. After a brief moment of introduction, Kinky turns to blue, and begins flying around at random. If Kinky collides with any fighter during this time, he’ll fuse with them and provide them with a randomly selected special ability!
The four possible abilities are:

• Red Bull Horns, which allow you to damage opponents while running, and buffs your dash attack.
• Pink Bunny Ears, which function just like the Bunny Hood.
• Blue Glasses, which creates a holographic clone of yourself that mirrors all your actions in the opposite direction. It has hit boxes, but cannot be attacked.
• Orange Hair, which also makes you slightly larger and increases your weight, while giving you super armor.

And here’s some music tracks:

1. Toy Pop
2. Title Theme - Namco Museum (GameCube)
3. Pac & Pal
4. Wait a Second, Mappy is a Boy - Namco Music Graffiti

Dig Dug

Spoiler: How it Works

He hops onto the screen by burrowing out of the ground, poses triumphantly, then immediately gets to work. Taizo chases after players with surprising speed,trying to grab them. He attempts to get a hold on them by extending his pump at full-length, as he did in Dig-Dug, and causing it to attach. If he makes a connection, the player is then pumped full of air with three insertions by Hori. They don’t inflate much (that’d be a modeling nightmare), but they’d be affected enough to be launched, as Taizo would then release them from his pump and send them flying in a random direction (either straight up, straight forward, or at 75-degree inclines). Because of the sudden release of air, they’d be launched quickly, and rather far. The lighter the character, the more susceptible they’d be to being KO’d entirely. After completing this task once, Taizo leaves.

Submit an echo fighter from the Pac-Man series. Please submit the echo, who it’s an echo of, and any differences.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Ms. Pac-Man (Pac-Man)

She would have unique fruits from her game (albeit not as unique as Pietro's equivalents) and Pac-Mom as an alt. All her fruit send foes towards her instead of away. She doesn't have a pizza form and instead glides like Pac-Man does in the World games and Hanna Barbera cartoon for bite attacks.

1. Pretzel - Goes straight upwards and stuns like the bell
2. Pear - Bounces back and forth extremely slowly, but stays out for really lomg
3. Banana - goes backwards like a boomerang

Mappy (Pac-Man)

Up special is identical. Neutral B has him summoning the loot from his game instead of Bonus Fruit (with a balloon thrown in). Side B has him riding microwaves from a door, and Down B spawns a Bell that crashes straight down.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

I don't believe we've added a Pac-Land music track

For some reason I thought pacland medley was already in the game, yeah I'll change it

 

[Northsouthmap]

Ignore this.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

I can't open the poll.

Should Xenoblade Get An Echo? | StrawPoll

What is your opinion? Vote now: Yes, No

strawpoll.com

Does this new one work for you?

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Strawpoll was very briefly down yesterday, I think Northsouth has probably voted by now given how brief it was.

Anyway, did some surface level research so here's
Eagus Wilderness

The layout would be a copy of Smash 3DS' shrunken, boss and spring-less Gaur Plains layout.

 

[Northsouthmap]

Argentum

I think Argentum would have a lot of potential. In XC2, there are platforms you have to hop up to reach the roof, and those platforms are very Smash-like. You could also do the Delfino Plaza-esque whirlwind tour of Argentum for a stage.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

We will give Xenoblade an echo. Here is the poll to determine our stage:

Which Stage Should Be Used? | StrawPoll

What is your opinion? Vote now: Eagus Wilderness, Atheneum

Job #141: Submit A Xenoblade Chronicles Item
Submit an item from the Xenoblade Chronicles series. Please submit the item and it’s function.

 

[Wario Wario Wario]

Shiny-Briny Lobster Boil

A very powerful healing item that can be bitten 3 times before fully disappearing - however, once you've taken a bite you can't eat it again until you've fully healed, which is a lot slower for this item than other healing items.

I think it should be quite obvious why I submitted this.

 

[Northsouthmap]

Replica Monado

A version of the Monado anyone can use, with the F-Smash Monado Buster releasing the energy blade.

 

[Champion of Hyrule]

Eagus Wilderness will be the stage. Here’s a poll for our item:

Dunban (Echo of Shulk)

He wields the Monado and has increased agility but takes slight damage after each attack using it. His neutral special is replaced by Blossom Dance, a move where he takes a katana and slices forward at the opponent. If it lands he can then slice twice again if the first hit was successful. Final smash is also chain attack but this time it’s from his perspective. Shulk still appears to activate it.

11. Cataris (Metroid Dread)

I'm genuinely upset that Vs. Rundas is not on this list.

 

[Deleted member]

A very important character in the orignal Xenoblade (and one who ties into 2). Alvis is one of the few other people who can wield the Xenobalde correctly without being hurt. I figure he'd be a pretty similar echo, but with some doffincwz to fit his personality better
