Smashville Balloon

[CrypticJav]

Okay, so we all know of the famous Randall on Yoshi's Story and Eric on Yoshi's Island, but I feel there is an unsung hero in all of our lives. The Smashville Balloon has brought many years of pleasure to all who know it. He gives Lucario mains an easy combo starter, he has been the basis of many user-created side games. I myself find my friends and I competing in the middle of a match to pop it. But through all of this, we never stopped to give the balloon any sort of recognition. I strongly feel that we should give the Smashville Balloon a proper name just like all of the other relics we have come to love. So i will put this up to a vote. You can vote for the name you want it to be named. This poll will only be up for 3 months.

How does this relate to PM in any way?

O.o

I think this is a fun idea though. I was actually thinking about why the famous balloon doesn't have a name, but Randall does.

Because Randall has a face, thus is obviously a person and needs a name.

I am against the naming of the smashville balloon, but if I had to choose a name from that list, I would definitely choose Douglas. Who wouldn't name a balloon after Captain Falcon?

 

[Paradoxium]

What a pointless thread


but for the record I choose Douglas

 

[ofna01]

If I must vote, I guess I'll vote for Douglas.
Because Douglas.

You understand that that balloon is what inspired PM in the first place, correct?

 

[Kidneyjoe]

Why is there no option for Satan, or possibly Hitler?
stupid balloon....

Never heard of that no, got a source?

 

[TreK]

Is the YI ghost Eric ? I've always called him Randy.

Yeah I wouldn't give him a name since there's no face on him. I kind of got into the habit of yelling "BALLOOOON" whenever I see it anyway.

 

[The_Altrox]

One day, the Strong Bad looked at that balloon and thought to himself, "Oh balloon, dost thou choose to be carried free without bondage? Thine existence is not tied to the limitations of earth. How thy wish to be such as thee! Let thy be free to wavedash!"

True story.

Seems legit.

Personally,

[Sour Supreme]

See, Randall affects gameplay, and at times affects the whole outcome of a game. Therefor he deserves recognition.

Let me know the next time that this balloon saves you from a 4-stock.

 

[The_Altrox]

Theoretically, it's possible. The balloon stops a full charge shot, no? Shy guys certainly did.

I didn't know it did that, actually.

Still, a very farfetched idea.

 

[GFooChombey]

The balloon is not alive. It should continue to be referred to as "the balloon." We should really spend our time finding the culprit who keeps releasing all these balloons in everyone's towns.

 

[Fortress]

and Eric on Yoshi's Island

Who the **** calls him 'Eric'. It's 'Randy'. Big Randy. Randall, Randy. Yoshi's 1, Yoshi's 2.

 

[WIZRD.Pro]

I think he should be called Ralph, and be buffed so that anyone who pops him immediately wins an ice cream payed for by the opponent.

 

[Narpas_sword]

Who the **** calls him 'Eric'. It's 'Randy'. Big Randy. Randall, Randy. Yoshi's 1, Yoshi's 2.

agreed.

'Randall 2.0' in my house.

 

[TRJV]

Bartholomew.
Or Phil.

 

[Tremendo Dude]

I've always heard the ghost on Yoshi's Island was called Craig, personally.

 

[ShadowGanon]

I've always heard the ghost on Yoshi's Island was called Craig, personally.

I'm pretty sure that thing's name is Stanley (I've heard commentators on streams call him that).

 

[Pr0fessor Flash]

Why do people make dumb ass threads like this

 

[robosteven]

Considering that it gets popped all the time, I'm going to assume that it's always a different balloon.

Hush! No time for logic!

 

[Soft Serve]

I thought this was going to be a real topic on the Balloon and it'd potential removal, because it can gimp ness's upb, and ivysaur and lucario get free charges off it
but Douglas works

 

[QuickRat]

Douglas sounds similar to dum**ss, and I HATE that balloon

 

[Deleted member]

His name should be Pascal.

Why? Because that was the name of the boy who starred in the 1956 French film "The Red Balloon." The balloon in that film was sentient, obviously just like the one on Smashville.

Why do people make dumb *** threads like this

Because it's fun. Why do you feel the need to post in threads you think are dumb?

 

[Phaiyte]

I'm sort of wondering why we're confined to that list of names. What if I wanna name that balloon Tim. People got no feelings for others these days smh

 

[PMS | Tink-er]

The ghosts in Yoshi's Island (Brawl) are Blarggwiches.

 

[SwiftOfDaSouth]

My friends and I always called Randall Harold because we couldn't remember Randall's name one day and decided that Harold must have been his name. My vote is for Harold so that preservation of a childhood memory is ensured.

 

[Usopp]

WHAT

how is Marvin not winning. Marvin would be a hilarious name for the balloon. i can already hear myself cursing marvin the **** out.

 

[JipC]

Eric on Yoshi's Island

... This is the first time I've heard of that name. Why dont we just call them what their actual in-game names are?
And personally I think the Yoshi's Island name for the monsters are ****ing awesome

BLARGGWICH

Also this. Seems kind of arbitrary if you ask me

 

[SmashShadow]

I still believe the balloon should give you a 1% health bonus to the person who breaks it.

 

[PlateProp]

I've always called the Yoshi's Island Brawl Ghosts "Super Randalls"

They do have a canon name, but it's dumb.

 

[Hinichii.ez.™]

Is the YI ghost Eric ? I've always called him Randy.

Yeah I wouldn't give him a name since there's no face on him. I kind of got into the habit of yelling "BALLOOOON" whenever I see it anyway.

I call it diglet

BLARGGWICH

I don't know why people don't do this. This is the superior name choice for those guys.

 

[Usopp]

i love Blarggwich

 

[ArcDawn]

I didn't know it did that, actually.

Still, a very farfetched idea.

literally stopped my fully charged shadow ball from sending my opponent flying off the map. Balloon confirmed OP stage hazard
