If stamina mode makes it back in Brawl, it would be cool if they had custom death animations for each character. For instance, Mario could shrug his shoulders, have that funny smile on his face, and then fall off the screen (remember that lol). If my most wanted brawl hopeful MM makes it in, he could burst into a bunch of energy bubbles. They could even have the sounds from the original games too. I think this would add a lot of nostalgia to the game.

what do you guys think?

Yeah, that would be cool. I'm not sure it would be feasible because it would be a lot of extra effort, but I must say I was disappointed by the lack of death anims in Melee stamina.

lol, that would be hilarious. They could have a little screen pop up with slippy on it and say Nooooooooo!!! like in SF64.

its little details like this that seperate the good games from the great ones

you know what? thats an awesome idea! I've got a few good ones:

- Meta Knight: his mask breaks in two, then he wraps his cape around him and jump up off the screen (like when you beat him in Revenge of Meta Knight)

- Yoshi: spins around before falling to the ground (like when you die in Yoshi's island)

- Sonic: Dieing animation from his original games

- Kirby: dieing animation from his games (falls off the screen while spinning)

- Diddy: falls on the ground, takes his cap off, and rubs his face looking hurt.

...... dang, now I'm gonna be dissapionted if they don't put this in brawl! :C

They probably won't. It would just be waste of time just implanting these.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but go ahead and keep imagining.

ON TOPIC:
DK: Falls on his but and scratches his head.

Pit: Says "I'm finished!" as he falls.

Samus (with armor): Armor explodes, leaving her in her Zero Suit.

Pichu: Starts to defecate on the nearby ground before bleeding through his eye sockets and eventually dying of stroke.

*wants to reply but is currently too appalled by the above post*


...


Anyway!
Maybe they'll make Stamina Mode more major this time around. It felt tacked on in Melee... I think the only reason no one ever played it was that it was not customizable at all.
If they made that mode better this time, KO animations would be suitable... hey, they'd probably be *less* violent than the elongated scream followed by lying around unmovingly until one of the others plays ball with your dead carcass.

And finally, some of the suggestions so far rock. "Snake? Snake! SNAAAAAAAAKE!"

And if Falco is KOd and Fox is still there, Fox is like "Nooooooo!" and Falco's still like: "Mind your own business!"

Yea, I really hope they put these in. This sounds like it wouild be a good idea. DK and Diddy could have their DKC death animations, Link falls to his knees and to the ground,etc. Everyone has SOME KIND of death animation in their game, so it would be easy to stick it in Brawl.

The thing is, if they implement those, I doubt you'd be able to keep beating/juggling the corpses around, which was fun.

For pikachu a pokeball would fly on the screen and catch him. Kinda of like his intro in ssb except reversed.
Or he could give his 8-bit yell and just kind of fall through nothingness as he faints.

... That's all I've got. D:

It's a wicked idea though, would add a whole lot of nostalgia as another poster said. Unfortunately, I doubt they'd do it, and if they were going to put effort into extra animations, I'd rather they be the return of intros, since you'd see those in every battle anyway.

Haha. "He's weak! Get him!"

But actually, that gave me an idea.

I had the idea that the player, if they use a Pokemon, could choose to display a trainer that owns it, who would appear releasing the Pokemon in their intro and would be seen cheering during the victory scene.
That same trainer would make Pikachu return to his Pokeball, like in the anime or Pokemon Stadium games.
...
Of course, that's one long shot after another. Heh.

Mario would say "Mamma Mia..." and do his death animation from Super Mario Sunshine.

Stamina mode needs to be altered, anyway. I hated how you could only have 150 HP, and you couldn't edit. I would love to do a 3 VS 1 match, and set the 1 person with a high amount of HP.

Melee Stamina mode was just... dull.

yeah thats the only thing with these animations, i did enjoy knocking the dead bodies around. but i wouldn't mind the animations either. If you had to choose, which would you pick?

couldnt they have both though? everything goes slow-mo and the character does their little dying animation, and falls to the ground, but still stays on the field. you could interrupt it if you hit them during it, or you could just watch them die and laugh at the person. then you could hit their body around. it would be fun.

A very feasible idea. That would also open the possibility of other gameplay modes where characters can get knocked out without flying off the screen.

Megaman's would be him exploding, and then he falls to the ground knocked out without his suit (only his under armor and stuff on).

Mario: Yells "Mama Mia!", and dies like he did way back in a little game called Super Mario 64, lol.

Pichu: Dies and you can never play it again, lol jk!
