is it bad that picture made me wonder how it'd look if it took parts from different Sonic characters instead of legendary Pokemon?

So to help me sleep, I always have four CPUs in Smash kill each other in a 99-stock battle with 0.5 launch rate. I've done it in Melee and Brawl, but now they have compounded it by adding 8-player Smash.
So now I have Lucina, Lucario, Robin, Sonic, Captain Falcon, ZSS, Mega Man and Rosalina fight it out every night.

And for some reason, it is really consistent what goes down.
In Brawl, Captain Falcon always died first. Lucario survived to the end, but has the least KOs.
In Sm4sh, I have the four teams (Blue = Lucario, Lucina, Red = Robin, Mega Man, Gold = ZSS, Captain Falcon, Green = Mega Man and Rosalina) and it seems like whichever team has Lucario on it usually wins.

So is CPLucario overpowered? I have dubbed the blue team of Lucina and Lucario Team LuLu, and they will take over the world.

now I won't be able to be reminded of the Little Lulu series when I see those two together. I kinda wish GF would give Megas less to already powerful pokemon like Salamence, Garchomp or Tyranitar and more to the bunch that have been shunned to the lowest depths of NU, just to kinda reduce the amount of useless Pokes in the game.

Mega Milotic would be pretty awesome, and it could be a Water/Dragon to troll Gyarados fans
(although I seriously don't care too much if it gets a new type or not in the process).
Anywho, how's that Elwind buff?

I want a Mega Evolution of Milotic.

Apparently that's too much to ask for. :ohwell:
In case you didn't read my post, I second that. Probably with a water/fairy reclass, but water/dragon works too. And multiscale, because multiscale is awesome.

Magnezone is already pretty solid, what with drag/mag teams and all, and mega evolution would either make it lose its trapping ability for another ability, or just boost its stats generally. Like I said earlier, it would be cool, but Probopass needs it more. Plus, similar results to a mega evolution stat boost could be imitated by a choice item or life orb.

Not sure what they'd do with Weavile admittedly, but I agree it would be cool. Maybe give it tough claws? But that would be, what, four megas with tough claws (charizard x, areodactyl, metagross), so maybe not.

Hey, Elf from Dragon's Crown! Nice! That is the only good female character in that game!

Always figured Mega Weavile would get Speed Boost.

And Mega Cryogonal should get Wonder Guard. Because I said so.

Cryogonal is my favorite Pokemon k.

I wanted Mega Glalie, but with an Ice/Dark reclass. And then we get this thing:

But that's okay too, because of refrigerate explosion.

The thing with mega Azumaril is that it's tough to give mega evolutions to pokemon who are already so reliant on their ability of choice (like with Azumaril's huge power). Of course, you could just give them a stat boost, like with mega Scizor, but the finished product usually just ends up feeling too much like the original. And I don't exactly see how mega Azumaril's typing could change.

Sorry. Double post.

Why having a Mega Azumarill if he is already so freaking powerful, Huge Power is so freaking good.

Personally I would love to see a Mega Infernape, make him faster and with more Sp attack and Attack and you have the ultimate Wallbreaker of the game with Close Combat and Overheat. AAAAAND maybe a little Def and HP, he's so frail that a slap can kill OHKO him.

Not sure how that would work, exactly. :confused:
As Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass, obviously. ;)

Though I don't think I'm the one to answer that question.

Speaking of Awakening- you know what really annoys me?

Why didn't they bother putting in Robin's "bowing" animation from his source game?

I always considered this a missing, but important and memorable part of the the character that should been in some form in the Sm4sh. But hey, perhaps more OOC cockiness was needed more than respect in this game series.

Because Smash Robin is supposed to be sassy.
Bowing is the complete opposite of sassy. :4robinf:

Well, I always thought the two "letting tomes and sword fly around Robin" taunts where huge wastes considering they could have put even more Awakening references into the game.
Also I love how very clearly Robin's mouth movements do not match him saying "You're not ready yet" in the WiiU version. He's done with his lipflaps before the line even starts playing .:D

Well, I bet you could make it sassy. All a matter of timing and context.

As far as mega evolutions go:
I'd love to see Mega Flygon and Mega Aegislash. Flygon because it could really need a nice power boost to not just be entirely outclassed by Lamechomp and Aegislash because I really like the Pokémon but find the design of the third evolution a tiny bit lacking. I really like it's precursors but Aegislash was... hm. It's good, but still a bit disappointing.
Won't keep me from loving it, though.

Mega Golurk is the only Mega Evolution I seriously want. Just give him some extra bulk and Attack ;o;

That may be so, but it does look good. :estatic:
True.

Although it would be possible for pikachewy to make a rendition of what's there with altered things. The way I see it, the robe stripe colors, the hair and the background are among the things that could change. but anything can change.

Knowing you, you'd spare him the work and proclaim your avatar(lol) fine as is, which is completely fine.

8 player Smash with :4robinf: vs:4robinm: is too fun.

The sass game though is too strong, resulting in :4robinf: crushing their bodies and their spirits.

Aeigislash is already horrendously overpowered. Flygon, on the other hand, I agree could really use a megevo. Preferably with sand stream, now that I think of it (it's known as the "desert spirit" or something, after all).

Yes, I suppose it could be changed, but I think it's plenty fine as is. There's no need to tamper with it.

Though I've had this one for awhile now... I've been thinking about getting a new one, but I'm so picky with this sort of thing that's it's hard to find anything that suits me. :ohwell:

Flygon could definitely use a Mega Evolution. It was already outclassed by Salamence before any Megas came along, and then Garchomp came by and did almost everything Flygon could do but better. Give it a good boost to it's attack and maybe it's speed along with a good ability such as sand stream like you said. I think Walrein, Dusclops/Ducknoir, and maybe Breloom could make interesting Megas as well.

Just stay with it, then. No need to fix what isn't broken:estatic:

Mega Dragonite. I need that... why hasn't that happened yet? I am disappointed that it isn't a thing.
Also, Mega Raichu just to make Raichu more relevant.

Well, I haven't been around in a while, but I'm hopefully getting my Wii U today and it's time to see if I'm still comfortable (hopefully better) with Robin on a Game Pad (too broke for any other controller).
