The official Ivysaur Support Thread

[Tubaam]

W ho thinks Ivysaur will be a good character, when i saw him the first time i was saying me that this was a stupid idea, but i thinked about it, and i think he will be good. He is a brand-new addition to smash : Four legs character, first going directly up special attack, and others reasons for him being good!

Support him!

 

[Cinder]

I don't know how long this thread's gonna last, but I'll give my two cents: Ivysaur is a very revolutionary character, as you said...first quadrapedal character, first neutral-b that's vertical, a very unique addition...I still think Sakurai was smoking something when he thought of PT, but the way I see it, it helps my buddy Lucario out...if a PT can get in, and since 4th gen PKMN are confirmed, it's almost certain that Lucario's in (not 100%, I never say something's 100%)

Ivysaur attacks with his leaves instead of hands

I'm still laughing at how the guy who posted this said, "I thinked about it."

Yeah don't think that no one caught that...

I never thought of that...that leaves me wondering, how will it grab? I assume it'll use its vines...and how will it hold a ledge? Vines, I assume?

 

[DonkeyPirate]

yeah ivysaur probably grabs ledges wih his vines, considering at the top of this thread there is a pic of ivysaur grabbing the ledge with his vines.

I had a feeling, but how would it HOLD an edge? Dangling to edgehog seems a little weird, doesn't it? I know it could probably use its front legs...it isn't impossible...

 

[Drake3]

It'll probably bite the ledge or use its vines. Maybe that's why they decided to include a quadreped; this one has fake hands. I think Ivysaur will be the most unique character in Brawl.

 

[Betrayed]

It'd probably be like using Links grappling hook, you kinda grab on and fling up...

Anyways, Ivysaur might do well. I bet one of the pokemon will end up being the best and used the most (yes, I'm aware of the NEED to switch because they get worn out)

Didn't think of biting *face palm* duh!! I can see that working, and yes, it is gonna be the most unique character in Brawl!

thank you and cool thread too! i think the charizard picture in blog is end of forward b

 

[Kirby knight]

I think I'll enjoy playing as Ivysaur, as long as you don't have to keep switching back and forth to much.

Bulbasaur was my very first pokemon I chose in my Red version, so Ivysuar brings back those memories.

-Knight

 

[simaju]

Ivysaur will be great!

 

[Kaburii]

Ivysaur can still use its vines to grab onto a ledge without having to dangle like the hookshot or grapple beam made others dangle. They can act like a pair of arms, and when it grabs it can bite or use CUT.

no Ivysaur uses all four....u must be thinking about Squirtle or something...IDK but it defiantely not Ivysaur

 

[Kaburii]

But it does have the ability to stand on its hind legs and just chill there - hence the old RBY sprite.

Compare it to Nidoran. Who knows if it will act like that during battle...

 

[Pluvia's other account]

Actually, I think Ivysaur will grab onto the edge the same way Wolf Link does.

And isn't Pikachu's Thunder vertical..?

 

[NeoSoul]

but.... I provided evidence....... what did you bring to the table?

 

[Kaburii]

^That's a down-B attack, not a neutral B vertical one.

and pikachu one is coming from the sky

Regardless of what buttons you press or where it comes from, they're both still vertical attacks.

 

[PrettyGoodYear]

He CAN stand on his hind legs, but movement is faster on all fours.

 

[happyskills]

I'm still laughing at how the guy who posted this said, "I thinked about it."

You stole my words...

 

[Glinth]

If he can manage to send his opponents far enough upwards, he'll be able to juggle the **** out of them with
BS (Teehee) his lack of a good U-B disappoints me though... and it doesn't look like he has many killing moves...

Also, I'm wondering if PT will be able to switch between pokemon mid-air, in which case you could always
jump from ivysaur to squirtle (or zard if his U-B is any good), recover, switch back, and attack or something :/

No, Ivysaur in that sprite may have ben able to stand on it's hind legs maybe to chill or roar but I remember a pokedex entry saying that the bulb was to heavy for him to stay on his hind legs to long. Ivysaur might stand on his hinds for a taunt or such but surely not to move and probably attack.

I think you're forgetting you can't use any attacks after a B-Up.

 

[Cinder]

I think you're forgetting you can't use any attacks after a B-Up.

I think he means Switch, Up-B, Grab the edge, switch back and attack...kinda like a Shiek user switching back to Zelda for the better recovery

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Meh, IMO, Ivysaur will be awesome, but the least exciting of PT's pokemon. Most exciting? Squirtle, duh.

 

[Knyaguy]

I just think all the pkmn trainer pokemon are cool

espically Ivysaur though i made a Charizard thead.

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

If someone has allready established this I apologize XD but watch Ivysaur's Final Smash (that is of course each of PT's pokemon has a Final smash) be either Solarbeam or Frenzyplant ( YAY FOR MOTHER NATURE!!!)

off topic: quick question...I kno Sakurai said that ppl can only perfom an FS only once after colecting a smashball.....but surely he didnt say they cant perform it again after obtaining another one..nor did he say that only one SB would apper in each battle...can someone answer this or is there a thread about this somwhere????

 

[Emokirby4]

Regardless of what buttons you press or where it comes from, they're both still vertical attacks.

Pika's hits all around while Ivy's only hits vertically (as far as I can tell.) I wonder if you can possition the flower to bullet seed in another direction, that would be nifty...did I just say "nifty"? either way it's a great attack seeing as this game focuses on airial combat.

 

[FoxMaster77]

Ivysaur is likely the defensive player of the group.
