Yes, really. You know you're out of your mind when you start suggesting Major League Baseball players to fight in a video game. But wait! Aren't the Seattle Mariners owned by Nintendo? Man, I have to stop using italics!

But let's go back to that other question. If you said yes, then you're correct! The Mariners, along with the Atlanta Braves and the Toronto Blue Jays, are the only 3 teams under corporate ownership, the Mariners being owned by Nintendo of America. I know a real person doesn't stand a chance against video game characters when being considered, but hey, a guy can dream, can't he? He could even have palette swaps from other MLB teams!

Félix could have a baseball-related moveset with different trick pitches. Here is my moveset for the Seattle pitcher:
B (Trick Pitch): Félix throws a trick pitch that is different depending on what you set it to with his Down B. The pitches are:
  • Fastball: The classic. Medium damage, knockback and speed.
  • Curveball: An arced pitch that boomerangs back to him like Link's Side B.
  • Knuckleball: A strong pitch in damage, but has very little knockback.
  • Screwball: A fast spinning ball that does very little damage, but has very powerful knockback.
  • Spitball: A ball that, if it lands, it turns into an obstacle people can trip on, like Diddy's bananas.
Side B (Bat Swing):Félix swings his bat in a circle around him, knocking away enemies and deflecting projectiles.
Up B (Bouncy Plate): Félix summons a base plate below him and bounces upwards. Good recovery move.
Down B (Switchball): Félix throws his ball up in the air, switching what pitch he will throw with his Neutral B. Text above him will show what pitch he will throw.
Final Smash (Grand Slam): Félix throws a giant baseball that flies around the screen, and when it reaches the edge of the screen, it bounces, and stays on the screen while enemies are stunned for 15 seconds. After 15 seconds, it explodes into the Mariners logo.

It probably stinks as an idea to most of you, but I love the idea, so can't we have a different opinion? Just don't flame me, and we'll be fine! Peace out!

To lock or not to lock - that is the question... I guess I'll leave it to the other mods to decide the fate of this thread.

Oh gods, this is genius. Absolutely genius idea here.
I guess I'll support, I severely doubt this will happen though. XD

Just for the other mods, if you keep Reggie, Miyamoto and Sakurai threads open, this should stay open too.

Mii would suffice.

And why not the mascot of the Mariners... the Mariner Moose?

I'm surprised I haven't seen a thread for Captain N (yet), but I have for this guy. But what about...?

...and this










If a real-life baseball player deseves to be included in Smash Bros., that is Ken Griffey Jr. (he is almost as iconic to Nintendo as Dr. Kawashima is).

Wow, he's starred in a ton of games. That's on par with Star Fox, and certainly more than Earthbound or Wii Fit can claim.

Wow. Sorry, I didn't do much research on the players. (As a Pirates fan, I had to look some stuff up about the Seattle players)

Despite the Mariner's being owned by Nintendo, that does not help this character meet the criteria for a support thread not to mention he does not have a history to Nintendo, unlike Sakurai, Miyamoto, or Reggie.

PM me for any further questions.
