It may sound like the dumbest idea EVER to some,
but I have a habit of daydreaming and being irrational.

He would ROCK!

He practically INVENTED the double jump, so he could have Luigi-Jumps.
But with his original jump animation.

He already picks up/throws boxes in Crash Bash: Use that animation!

His trademark item for the game would be the TNT crate!
Pick it up and throw it! As soon as it is touched, a countdown starts for 3 seconds
then it explodes. Will explode if attacked. Obviously.

Also, wumpa fruit are their food item.

He has a different animation for a shorthop than for a prolonged jump.

His >B would be SPIN. Gains horizontal distance like DK,
but you need to keep tapping it, rewarding faster button mashes!
Is more useful for attacking purposes than DK. He does not gain height
from doing this move, but it is useful for recovery.

His B would pull out a fruit bazooka, hold B to aim and release to fire.
It would g a bit far, but disappear after a short distance.

His UpB would be JETPACK! Pulls out jetpack and goes upwards like a slower
verson of Marth's upB. Crash holds his arm up to uppercut anyone above him,
doing damage like Mario's upB.

His VB would be a BODY SLAM! Similar to Yoshi and Bowser, but with shock
wave range from Crash 3.

He could have C.Falcon style ariels, but his dash attack
MUST BE his slide attack.

His F smash should be C.Falcon's SSB64 Fsmash, but without the fire.
His U smash could be a headbutt of some kind and he could
share Mario's Dsmash.

His tilts and normal As can be Just like Mario's really.

He would be middleweight, but can run quite fast and has relatively strong attacks.

The crash bandicoot stage would be a scrolling one where everyone is running
away from a giant boulder, and the boulder would basically smash you towards it.
When this happens, you pass straight through it into the blast line, since the boulder
should be half offscreen. The boulder doesn't have to move too fast at all, and there could
be platforms for jumping on to mix things up a bit.

Coco would make an easy clone.

SO, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK!!!

wicked idea, but I somehow like it :)
I wouldn't like him being included in brawl, though. (or do I ..)
but the thought itself is funny :D

I agree.

Also, he did not "invent" the double jump.

Also, he's a 3rd party. That's why there's Crash games on Xbox and Gamecube too.

There have been many GBA crash games appearing nowhere else,
so it's possible to get Crash "licensed by Nintendo" again. What with
Crash Boom Bang coming to DS only...

btw the name of this thread are the opening lyrics to the Japanese
Crash theme tune. (He's quite popular over there)

Listen to it!!

Had this game been made in 2000-2001, it would have happened. Back then, Crash was still a big deal in video games, and he had just left the hands of Naughty Dog, and was no longer bound to Sony. If that were the case, I'd be your biggest supporter. Now, however, he's a real longshot of a character.

However, remembering that he's on the GBA gives me hope...

Crash would be cool, but I doubt they'd add him to the roster. He was never big on Nin tendo games, mostly only included in GBA games. If he WAS included, he'd probably play like this:

B-down - Crash Tornado - A copy of Luigi's, moves as far as his, does less damage, but applies multiple hits (basically not knocking them away), instead of just one hit.

B-up - Body Slam - Used as a third jump, Crash jumps in the air, falls flat on his stomach, similar to Yoshi and Bowser's ground pound. Inflicts slightly more than Bowser's version, but takes longer to fall, a small 2-damage shock wave appears when Crash hits the ground. Body Slam is harmless before he hits the ground.

B - Wumpa toss - Crash tosses a wumpa fruit that inflicts 2-4 damage. Moves faster and bounces more than Mario's fireball, but has a 1 1/2 second cooldown time.

B-over - Aku Aku - Can only be used once per minute. Crash runs 1.5 times as fast, jumps 1.5 times as high, falls 1.5 times as slow, get one extra jump, and can run in air, while still falling for 10 seconds. If Crash is hit twice or attacks and is successful, the mask wears off. (mostly used for recovering.

Taunt - Crash does his weird shaky dance until a button is pressed.

lol. Just your opinion, man! I wrote my moveset up because I was bored, not to compete! And I'm going to be honest - Crash almost guaranteed won't be in there. But it would be a funny addition, I agree with you!

Crash (as seen in his first few games, not the recent ones) would be an incredible character. Unfortunatly, I think it's outside the realm of reason, even after Snake smashed through the third party barrier. What company is he owned by anyway? In any case, he's never been on a Nintendo game (to my knowledge), so he has very little chance, even as great as he'd be.

Nah, Crash is one of those characters who aren't nearly as popular(at least not in the States, someone said he was popular in Japan which is probably why he still exists) as they used to be and seem as if they won't be around much longer.(Pac-man and Rayman are perfect examples)

I actually did that just to spite you. :laugh: (it worked)


anyway...

He has plenty of move options. Apple Bazooka (I know they weren't apples, but I can't remember their name), spin move, etc. He's really perfect for Smash. I'm not sure how likely it is.

I think Crash fits the profile, but the list is so long and odds are he wont make it. But we'll just have to see.....

Actually, with my moveset, Crash is looking to be low tier. lol!

OK, Crash could be light, but judging by the 1-Hit wonderness of his mover,
I say his attacks could be quite powerful.

Maybe his upB spin attack should be a little stronger than DK's, and lasts
longer the faster you tap B while spinning.

That would be WAY in character.

His bazooka could do like 10%.



Off topic, but where can I find the official-ish tier list(s) for Smash Bros Melee?

Crash would be cool, even if he might not be in SSBB after all. But it would make for some good memories of the old Sony vs Nintendo thing way back when... And yeah, I pretty much agree with the movesets posted.

Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon are registered trademarks of Vivendi-Universal Interactive. Sony's mascots might be Ratchett & Clank, Jak & Daxter, and Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal series).

I am fully against any non nintendo characters appearing in ssb. I was positively fuming when Snake was confirmed as a character. They should just stick to tradition and have nintendo only characters.

Just a small note, maybe Crash's super move would be that Coco and Crunch (From Wratch of Cortex) come in in the planes from Warped, dropping TNT and Nitro crates all over the screen in huge numbers. The name could be...I dunno...Bandicoot Bomber?

I've noticed something... Look at the pips under the post counts. Green = good,
red = bad. I've looked at posts from people with RED reputations.

These posts are rarely nice, and normally bash ideas.
