That's right Kefka! The evil clown from FF III or FF VI for those who own the GBA version.

So why him?
1.He is a clown.
2.Dur..not Sora or Cloud, or Sephiroth.
3.Original very original.
4.Err a clown.
5.Super super evil.
6.A clownn...that eats childern.
7. But..most importantly he is a **** clown.



That's how looks right now. >.>

An awesome cosplay right there.

This is the Kefka battle in his final form.

Somewhat of a move list. O.o
B: Meteor Strike-A small meteor falls onto the stage causing a small explosion.
10%-15%. Some KO capabilities, medium knockback.

Down B: Fallen One-Similar to Mewtwo's Disable, however also does damage while making the foe parlayed. 5%-7%

Foward B:Clown Slash-Kefka lunges at you with a dagger causing damage to a small radius. 10%-20%

Up B: Havoc Wing: Kefka opens his wings and flies up towards the stage. Kind of like's Fire Fox except less delay and less damage. 15%-18% Direction can be changed.

Taunt:The laugh from the cosplay and the battle.
How he enters:Simply out of like a Jack in the box.
Super Smash Attack: Final Form using that light move which I can't remember.

Yes I know he is third party and from sqaure. We know that there will be limited spots for third part characters. But to quite honest wouldn't you like to play as an evil clown? The FF series has under a lot of heat. But no one remembers the classics, the SNES and NES classics. This one idea I support only because Kefka is just an awesome villain and pwns Sephiroth like no one else does. Most notably in one of the most beloved games in the FF series is well FF III in the states and FF VI in Japan. This game was on the SNES and good one too, it have a Japanese character but..least everyone knows him...

So comments concerns?

Yes I know he is third party and limited spots but reconsider?

Disregard the other thread..my browser went bonkers. O.o

Awesome, but no.
Actually, he's not a clown. He just looks like one by accident, kinda like Paris Hilton.
And in the unlikely case that FF6 gets repped ( which I truly hope ), it probably won't be the villain, but a main hero/ine, like Terra ( which I truly hope ).

God Kefka would be such an awesome character...

I think if they announced that Kefka was in Brawl, my jaw would dislodge itself from my skull and fall to the floor.

...I wonder how the floor tastes?

Probably like dirt.

@Fawriel: Well seeing that SSBM didn't really have many villains. I suppose Kefka just pwns every single on of them.

Nothing to say against a character that can make children cry, except that he's not exactly likely.

I'd rather see Kuja. Kefka's good, but he'd be out of place without any other FF characters...

Haha... Uh, yeah. It's not like he's naked or something in the games. See:

As awesome as I find Kuja, he isn't eligible for Brawl, and even if he was I'd believe he'd be fairly low down on SE's piority list.

Kefka on the other hand is eligible (and a much better villain choice than Sephiroth, who is mentioned far more often than I care to hear), but I'd feel they'd opt for one of the main characters than the main villain. Terra or Celes seem to be the likeliest IMO, as they both share the most spotlight in the game.

Zorn and Thorn should have Meteorite and Comet too. From that fight with them, if you let them they'd cast those. And they transform... Which could be a boss. Freaky, freaky, freaky transformation t'was. :lol:

yeah i know. i couldnt figure out where to put those spells until i remembered the super attack they have. so thats what their super attack would be. they could combine and do like a meteorain+cometrain? attack.

Why is everyone ragging on Kefka? He's the only villain that actually succeded in destroying the world in ANY FF game. The whole reason you kill Kefka is for REVENGE. The second world in FF6 is called THE WORLD OF RUIN. As far as I'm concerned, he's the best villain any FF game has had.

Um, no. Kuja destroys Terra. Sephiroth almost destroys the planet. Ultimecia also comes very close.

Meh, Kefka... I don't feel any warmer towards him. FF4 has the largest chance of any FF to have representation in 'Brawl, but it's still very small. Cecil/Kain if anyone.

hmm, i agree with waffles, bcuz im a big kh fan. but i also agree with darkknight, that it is not likely, at all. i think i would go with roxas over sora though, buz their organiztion xiii outfits look better than sora's outfit, he looks like a 'clown' with his big @$$ shoes and baggy pants.

You know, I don't think that one of the main protagonists would have to make it in before Kefka. He's what half of the story revolves around at a certain point in the game (avoiding spilers). I won't lie, I'd love to see either him or Edgar in the game. Just imagine, Edgar, he could use his tools.
Also, Zorn and Thorn would be pretty cool. Anyone from FFIX (my 2nd fave FF after VI) would rock. Screw sephiroth.
Oh, and BTW Kefka is the only character who destroys a world. Yeah, others have come close, and Kuja did technically destroy A world (none of it inhabitants really cared, though) but Kefka's the only one who had total destruction and takeover.

I hope two months isn't too old to be reviving a thread for, but I had to find somewhere to put my off-the-wall idea for a third party character. I don't think Kefka would even be considered by Sakurai, but by god an insane magical clown would fit well into the world of Smash Bros. Anyway, here's a moveset.

Name: Kefka Palazzo
Age: Unknown
Developer: Square
First Appearance: Final Fantasy VI
Other Notable Appearances:

Height: 3/5
Weight: 2/5
Attack Power: 2/5
Grab Range: 4/5
Running Speed: 4/5
Jump: 2/5
Falling Speed: 3/5
Rolling Speed: 1/5

Regular Attacks:


A: Palm Strike (1-2%)

AA: Punch (2-3%)

AAA: Headbutt (Minor-medium knockback. 5-6%)

Dash A: Hyperdrive (Kefka charges forward, seemingly floating, and delivers a powerful brute slam. Moderate horizontal knockback. 8-9%)

F Tilt: Flail (Kefka strikes the opponent in front of him with a flail. 4-7%)

U Tilt: Mad Pierrot (Kefka does a flipping kick, hitting the person in front of him upwards moderately. 6-8%)

D Tilt: Three Goddesses (Kefka strikes out behind, in front of and above him simultaneously, with a two second lag afterwards. Each hit causes 3-5%)

F Smash: 10 Hits (Kefka performs a brutal flurry of ten Palm Strikes, with none doing knockback except the last. The hits all occur over a period of around a second, but then there is a second-long lag after the attack ends)

U Smash: Nihilism (Kefka smacks a character upside the head with a flail, sending them up with good knockback. 13-17%)

D Smash: Fallen One (Huge lag of a few seconds both before and after, but this smashes the enemy with massive horizontal and upwards knockback. 30-40%)

Aerial Attacks:

N Air: Slap (Kefka whips his hand out and cracks an enemy in front of him sharply over the face. This slows his descent slightly, but doesn’t cause any really noticeable knockback. 1-4%)

F Air: Magitek (A ball of energy that moves at about the same speed as Samus’ uncharged shots in SSB64. Pushes Kefka backwards slightly when used. It fires forward, but will bounce once if it hits anything other than a character. 2-5%)

B Air: Cloak Strike (Kefka’s cloak twists and slams backwards a short distance, hitting anyone behind him with medium knockback backwards and down. 7-8%)

U Air: Train (Kefka raises his hands, creating a quarter-second lag or somesuch and the area directly above, and slightly to either side flashes green. Anyone hit by this becomes stunned for two seconds, but recovers all jumps and recoveries. 3-5%)

D Air: Meteo (Kefka creates a small burst of fiery energy directly beneath him that serves as a meteor slam if you are caught directly within it. 6-9%)

Special Attacks:

B: Trinity Magic (Kefka launches a projectile of ice, lightning or fire forward, which moves slightly slower than Fox’s lasers. The order cycles from fire (2-3% and further burn where the strike lands for two more seconds at 2% per second, similar to Ness’ PK fire) to lightning (5%) to ice (1-3%, and slows the hit character by 25% for three seconds). Kefka can fire one projectile per second)

Smash B: Forsaken/Goner (Kefka cackles madly, the screen flashes red and a disembodied head appears, and four stars shoot from it, covering a 45-degree spread in front of him, with a moderate range. Each star does 7% damage and has medium knockback. Highly efficient at close range, due to more stars hitting a single character. However, the lag is roughly a second and a half long at the beginning)

Up B: Havoc Wing (Kefka sprouts six angelic wings and shoots upwards and forwards, damaging anybody he hits and knocking them upwards. The recovery distance traveled is reasonable, being slightly better than average, to offset his short primary and secondary jumps. 8-10%)

Down B:
Ultima (A hazy green ring manifests around Kefka, for roughly three seconds, and anyone who touches it is hit for moderate damage and medium-high knockback. Kefka is still vulnerable to attack from above, and while he can walk, Kefka cannot run or jump while Ultima is active. If Kefka is hit by anything while Ultima is active, it is cancelled and Kefka is stunned for two seconds. 14-18%)

Final Smash: Light of Judgment (A beam of whitish-blue light sweeps across the stage from one side to the other, striking all characters except Kefka for 20-30% damage and high knockback meteor strikes on them all, generally spelling doom for anyone not over a platform.)

Grapple Attacks:

Grab: R.Polarity (Kefka extends his hand and a greenish light shoots from it, to about the same distance as Link’s grab. Can be used for recovery, but isn’t directable, being able to move horizontal only)

Grab Attack: Poison (As long as Keka holds the Grab attack button, he automatically causes damage to the character, at a rate of 2% per second, but it is possible to wiggle from his grasp)

F Throw: Scar Beam (Kefka throws the character into the air and then slams the person with his hand. There is a slight freeze of both Kefka and the hit character for around half a second, and then the character is flung backwards as a beam of blue light spirals from Kefka’s open palm. 6-10%)

B Throw: Revenger (Kefka spins around, launching the character backwards with trails of green vapour following. The distance thrown is generally moderate to good. 10-12%)

U Throw: Metamorphosis (Kefka’s wings burst into being and he shoots up into the air, before releasing the other character at the apex of the throw, to be shot in a random direction with moderate-good knockback. 4-10%)

D Throw:
Dancing Mad (Kefka tosses the character to the ground and proceeds to jump on the character twice, laughing as he does. There’s a slight finishing lag as he jumps off and the other character stands up. 12-18%)

Recovery/Defensive:

Shield: Prism (Kefka forms a translucent flickering pyramid of energy that changes colour around himself. It serves like any other shield, except that when it breaks, instead of Kefka being stunned, he does his crazy laugh for approximately three seconds, and the player is unable to control him.)

Edge Recovery: Float (Kefka lets go of the edge and simply floats up to land near the edge. Since the floating is somewhat slow, Kefka is able to perform any of his aerial attacks until he lands)

Standing Recovery: Illusion (Kefka, when knocked to the ground, automatically fades out and reappears behind the character who knocked him over, though there’s a one-second finishing lag before he can act)

Other Data:

Taunt: Kefka sweeps his cape back and laughs his maniacal laugh. It’s a fairly long taunt, between 2 and 3 seconds.

Victory Pose 1: Kefka plants his hands on his hips and cackles as his cloak flutters mysteriously.

Victory Pose 2: Kefka states ‘The end is... beyond chaos’ and the disembodied head appears as the screen fades to flickering red.

Victory Pose 3: Kefka dances madly on screen, shouting "I hate hate hate hate HATE you all!".

Loss Pose: Kefka clutches his stomach and falls forward, sparks surrounding him.

Entrance: Three statue-like creatures fly onto screen, around a ball of transluscent energy, in which we see Kefka sitting cross-legged. The bubble bursts, Kefka floats to the ground and the goddesses wink out of existence.

Costumes:
He’s a clown. He’s a jester. He’s a pierrot. Any mad circus outfits will do him. Obviously his first costume is his red and yellow thing with white and red makeup.

Arena: Kefka’s Tower, Floating Continent (complete with Three Goddess statues that do random stuff)

Yeah, haven't quite got the hang of balancing yet, since this is my second moveset. Suggestions on how to balance him?
