The First Ever Nintendo product- Mr. Hanafuda

[FalKoopa]

A couple of support sigs.

No offence, BluePikmin, but I felt your support sig doesn't mesh well with the other ones used here.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I crafted the sig by my own pixels painted. (Basically I never copy and pasted, just Mr. Hanafuda)

 

[FalKoopa]

Oh, you can add me to the list of supporters.

 

[Croph]

Those are some nice support sigs, Falkoopa.

I'm wondering if there should be a Nintendouji support thread. To my knowledge, he doesn't use Hanafuda cards, and he has his own distinct game and powers. I have some neat ideas that I could whip up into a thread.

 

[Gallowglass]

What if the Hanafuda deck was an item instead of a character? A person would grab it and draw a random card and it would cause different effects. For example you draw a Boar and a giant pig would jump out and attack similar to Ganondorf's final smash (assuming if he gets a different final smash).

 

[BluePikmin11]

That doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

It seems more likely than a playable Mr. Hanafuda.

Do give reasons before saying that.

 

[BluePikmin11]

It's too similar to an Assist Trophy, and assist trophies were there to summon Nintendo characters. Pokeballs are an exception though.
And basically that would be animal summons, it's pretty dull.

 

[FalKoopa]

I see. The idea seems more feasible and easier than a playable character though.

 

[Gallowglass]

Well Hanafuda deals with the seasons and nature. It could change environment like turn the place to ice when it gets a winter card.

I'm not saying Mr. Hanafuda isn't a bad idea. I'm just throwing different spins on how to get the Hanafuda cards into Smash.

For those who don't know this is a good video to introduce you to Hanafuda cards and a popular game called Koi koi.

If you want to play this game. I found this flash which is really good and its in English.
Game

Hells yeah! I was gonna make a cards support thread but I see you already have one! I've been wanting Hanafuda cards to get reped since Melee. I don't actually expect them to but I'd be stoked if they did!

Also bump I guess.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Oh, a bump?!!
Oh anyways, I guess I'll say this pretty early:
I'm planning to get Hanafuda cards, since I have 800 Coins.

Unfortunately its sold out for now, so I plan to use it for a photo-kind of moveset.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

i hope this isn't a bump, but I like this idea.

 

[CalumG]

Count me in as a supporter! I loved the idea back in the Brawl days and I still love it now. However, I don't think the Hanafuda cards should be in their box - Mr. Hanafuda/Hanafuda-Man should be an open deck of Hanafuda cards (still with arms and legs I guess, for movement purposes), allowing you to see the front card of the deck (the cards are somehow held together by magic ). From there they could implement some kind of shuffle mechanic, where the front card of the deck somehow dictates the strength or effect of a move.

I haven't really thought the mechanic through thoroughly, mostly because I don't 100% get Hanafuda, but what I envisioned is that when performing a Smash attack with Mr. Hanafuda, he would do a Smash attack and 're-shuffle' at the same time, putting a new random card on the front of the deck. The card on the front of the deck would then influence the strength and attack-effect of the next Smash attack he performs - regular flower cards would be bog-standard Smash attacks, Ribbon Cards would have a slightly stronger effect on Smash attacks, and cards with characters on them would do the most damage/knockback, and/or have an effect applied to them (freeze, fire, aura, Ganon's dark energy, electricity, paralysis etc.) depending on which character card is pulled.

Also, to make the uninformed a little more comfortable with an idea as alien as Hanafuda Man, I wouldn't be against them opting away from using traditional Hanafuda cards and choosing the Club Nintendo Hanafuda cards instead:

Just my two cents.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Added you guys as supporters. Maybe I should make a banner soon.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Cleaned the OP, and added a banner:

I would actually love to hear more opinions from other people.
I feel like this character never gets enough discussion.

 

[FalKoopa]

The moveset posted in the OP does not use Hanafuda Cards AT ALL.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Sure I'll make a moveset of my own, that was not my moveset anyways.
It's obviously gonna take a while though.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

I like the idea of Hanafuda cards as a playable character. Seems like a pretty neat concept. We need more retro characters. They are always so interesting. :D

 

[APC99]

May make a Mr. Hanafuda moveset. Add me to the supporters PLZ. A card-dealing character is something I've always wanted, and they don't seem to be giving Luigi that role (Get it? New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario 64 DS Card Mini-Games? HA!).

 

[King Orfut]

 

[Michael Blaine]

I like the idea, but that anthropomorphic playing card look is no good. Just make a full 3D model of that 19th century looking guy on the card. He doesn't have to look 100% like Napoleon lol. He can have a cane, top hat, curly mustache, horse and buggy intro animation all that. The fighting with cards and whatnot, that's gold.

 

[Pazzo.]

A card deck.... Even a Living Puppet sounds better at this point.

 

[grizby2]

I.....support :D

Hanafuda Man... still more innovative and important to Nintendo than Geno will ever be.

 

[Snakeyes]

Apparently, this was also a popular Nintendo hanafuda deck back in the day;

It's based on a mythological Japanese creature called a Tengu.

Tengu (天狗) are mountain and forest goblins with both Shinto and Buddhist attributes. Their supernatural powers include shape-shifting into human or animal forms, the ability to speak to humans without moving their mouth, the magic of moving instantly from place to place without using their wings, and the sorcery to appear uninvited in the dreams of the living.

The patron of martial arts, the bird-like Tengu is a skilled warrior and mischief maker, especially prone to playing tricks on arrogant and vainglorious Buddhist priests, and to punishing those who willfully misuse knowledge and authority to gain fame or position. In bygone days, they also inflicted their punishments on vain and arrogant samurai warriors. They dislike braggarts, and those who corrupt the Dharma (Buddhist Law).

Maybe these characteristics could somehow translate to a Smash moveset? Just throwing some ideas out there.

 

[Opossum]

True story, Shiftry was actually based on a Tengu.

 

[APC99]

IDEA based off Tengu idea:

-One of his taunts could involve wearing the Tweeter mask from SMB2.
-A card acts like a sword in one attack ( like TENGU MAN!)

That's all I got.

 

[Ascended]

I would love for this to happen, so I support it.

 

[Pazzo.]

Hanafuda Man... still more innovative and important to Nintendo than Geno will ever be.

Truth hurts. Well, at least they made the crowd chant for Geno.

'WHO IS GENO? WHO IS GENO?'

 

[Louie G.]

Oh jeez, I found this.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I can't believe you revived this thread.

 

[Pacack]

No. Why couldn't it die?

...I prefer Daitoryo.

 

[BluePikmin11]

I'm going to burst out laughing hard if this ends being the Hanafuda concept.

 

[Pacack]

I'm going to burst out laughing hard if this ends being the Hanafuda concept.

Here's my problem with it:
You put arms and legs on something that already has a person depicted on it.
Why would anyone not just use the person?

 

[BluePikmin11]

Because we never had a character that is a deck of cards with limbs.
I find it amazing how the Hanafuda characters started spreading with this thread.

Doesn't mean it should happen.

Shall we discuss more about hanafuda in the Daitoryo thread? Perhaps you could direct me to someone who could draw a full-body Daitoryo?

 

[Haydossy]

I support why not?
