This is now the "Official Tatanga Support Thread".
Here is a link to the wikipedia article: Link to wikipedia article.
This now includes both movesets, for Tatanga in a ship and Tatanga w/o a ship.
I know for a fact that alot of people (not metioning anyone) will just say "he is in a space ship, he won't work, blah blah etc. etc.", but just stay with me for this one. I have allready thought it out and i think he would be a cool character addition to Brawl (even though he has a 0.5% chance of appearing, but if he were to appear in Super Mario Galaxys, then his chances would skyrocket).
Tatanga first appeared in Super Mario Land (GAME BOY) as the final boss.
He then appeared again in Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins (GAME BOY) as the boss of the Space Zone. In SML1 he pilots the 'Pagosu" (as seen in the picture below).

As you see here it would be easy to create (B) moves, but a little harder to make the normal (A) moves and grabs. I have been thinking and the only way that would be both cool and playable would be to add mechanical arms to his space-ship, so he could attack normally (punches, slaps etc.) and could grab people. This would make his normal atacks fairly slow (2/5) but his speed of moving across the field in his ship would be quicker (4/5). This would make for an interesting character.
Lets just hope he is in SMG, and then Sakurai can add him as a secret character! (It will suprise everyone, including me)
And here is the moveset... (v1.0)
------TATANGA (with ship)-----
STATS:
Weight: 3/5
Jump: 2/5
Strength: 2.5/5
Speed: 3.75/5
Normal Attack Speed: 2/5
Size: 3/5
Agility: 2/5
From Super Mario Land . 'Pagosu'
Tatanga, since being beaten by Mario in Super Mario Land 1 & 2, has upgraded his ship the ‘Pagosu’ to include mechanical-arm like structures coming from the side of his ship. These mechanical-arms can be used to grab objects such as heavy crates and barrels, and have hydraulic pistons connected to them, making them nearly as functional as human arms. In battles he can punch, back-hand, slap, swipe and grab with his mechanical-arms to make him a foe to be reckoned with.
The Pagosu hovers just above the ground. Due to it's mechanical structure, Tatanga would recieve an extra %10 damage when in acid.
--- Move Set ---
- (A) Normal Moves -
(A): A metal claw swipe. [2 – 3%, slow-med speed]
(A) (A): An attack using both mechanical-arms swiping [2 – 3% each, slow-med speed]
(A) (A) (A): The same as (A)(A) with an added punch. [2 – 4% each, med-slow speed]
(A) Up: An uppercut using the mechanical-arms. [3 – 5%, slow-med speed]
(A) Down: Tatanga pounds the ground with both mechanical-arms. [4%, med speed]
(A) Forward: A forward reaching metal punch. [2 – 4%, med speed]
- (B) Special Moves –
(B): A single, small, translucent ball with a black outline is shot out of each of the Pagosu’s cannons, with a quick attack speed and a distance similar to Mario’s fireball. [3 – 5%, fast speed]
(B) Up: Tatanga uses his boosters on the bottom of the Pagosu to do a very quick recovery, which flames anyone directly underneath him within the same range of Fox's firefox recovery. [7 – 8 %, v. fast speed]
(B) Down: The Pagosu drops a ‘Shock Bomb’ which will shock anyone who steps on it and make them paralyzed (shield broken). Can be blown up by all character projectile weapons (i.e Fox blaster, Tatanga blast ball, Link boomerang etc.), which causes the shock bomb to shoot upwards the height of Ness's (B) attack (upwards fire) . [5%, med sped]
(B) Forward: A missile is shot from the side of the Pagosu. Explodes on impact, and one missile ammo refreshes every 30 seconds (has two missile ammo to start). [11 – 16%, slow-med speed]
- Super Move -
A particle-like effect surrounds the cannons of the Pagosu, which flys up into the middle of the air and points diagnoally down (like \) at his opponenets, and shoots out three large, rainbow coloured energy balls.
-
Kirby Hat: Has the Tatanga ears and eyes. Because Kirby has no cannon to shoot the Pagosu (B) attack, the blast ball will shoot out of Kirby's mouth.
Taunt: Looks up into the sky and laughs evily.
Winning Pose: Tatanga puts down the cockpit wind-shield of the Pagosu and steps out, smirking and turning his back away from the player.
