That's the whole point. It refers to a specific game but I don't know what.

Wishful thinking much? a character with no B moves damage would suck.
That is being awfully closed minded. It could be very interesting for a character who has good close combat, but a hard time reaching their opponents. There are many ways to implement such a system correctly.

Like how? Just curious.

A character with little range or predictable approaches in their jumps and attacks. They could use different kinds of utility abilities for their B buttons to help them initiate an actual attack or keep the enemy on their toes. Like F.L.U.D.D.

I mean, I can easily imagine Mewtwo without Shadow Ball.

Though this isn't saying such a moveset is the best for Kumatora, just possible.
Edit -
I do think Kumatora should be a ranged fighter... she wasn't a particularly good hitter in the game.
And Ike's highest stat was speed. Sometimes, they change the properties of a character to make them fit better in Brawl.

Yeah. Characters are very loosely based on their originals. Heck, if they can say "Paula taught Ness PSI Fire and PSI Thunder", they can also say Princess Kumatora bench pressed Captain Falcon every day until Brawl's debut.

Yeah... but Ness using Paula's moves is something that bothers me even to this day... I'm kinda over it... well, I'm over it, but it still bothers me. I just don't let it get to me.

I'd rather have them be more faithful this time.

The whole Kumatora's physics wouldn't work as a melee fighter thing doesn't work, I don't want Kumatora in because I want Lucas to use her PSI.
Why? That's just wasting perfectly good character potential. Not to mention being lazy.

Because it displeases the fans. We can all understand that this is Super Smash Brothers, so no character is expected to be like their original. But giving them moves from a completely different entity in their franchise takes away from their actual characteristics and originality. I'm a Fire Emblem fan, and while Ike in Brawl is very cool, asside from his outfit he's NOTHING like the original at all. Since I'm also a MOTHER fan, I don't want them to do that again with Lucas. :/

True. Is she of any relation to Ness or Lucas?
Ness, none.
Only Pokey has any relation to him. Ness and the gang are dead during MOTHER 3.
Lucas, they're connected by the Magypsies who play an important role in the story. Also, they both search for Duster after he disappeared.

Excuse my ignorance, but how did Ness die?? I never heard of such an event?
Well, he's dead by the events of MOTHER 3 which take like 1,000 to 10,000 years after MOTHER 2.

I should also mention, that none of the heroes of a MOTHER game will ever, ever look "cool", "bad ***" or out of the ordinary. They often look plain, weird, or awkward. But when you actually dive into their personalities, characteristics and see them in action, it's very easy to grow fond of them. I love the characters because while they're odd, they are very lovable and entertaining. Everything from strange middle-aged men to common house pets can become heroes who will one day save the world using their own unique traits. I'm tired of some generic cool dude with a sword and messy hair being the one to save the world.

I see my good friend. It is the inner appearance rather than the outer that makes you fond for the characters. This is extremely understandable. That, my friend, makes the world go round.

F-Zero GX Announcer: "ALL RIGHT! FIRST PLACE!"

Anyhoo. I'm getting more and more tempted to just read a translation of MOTHER 3 and play it instead of waiting for Starmen.net to make the patch. >.> I keep seeing more and more awesome MOTHER 3 stuff and I've played the last two to death so I'm getting desperate.

Oh you really should, believe me, even if you have to use a translation walkthrough, Mother 3 is the best of the series, although I prefer Mother 2 but for sentimental reasons.

She sounds similiar to someone I knew once, If she were in that would be kicksmash. Also It would be interesting to see her emasculate the guys in Brawl XD
