Who me..y'know...that place. with the people. wher

(It's apperance on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

A Twilight Messenger is an evil shadow-like creature that serves under the rule of Zant. There are several of these monsters that lurk in the darkness of twilight, waiting for the hero in the green tunic to come. These monsters are bond by darkness, and cannot escape the realm of twilight, so they do not exist in purified areas. Twilight Messengers have a high pichted howl that will revive a fallen comrad, so if you wish to kill them, you must kill them all at once.
I feel it should be in SSBB because Ganondorf was in SSBM and was a big hit. So it would be smart to bring back another favorite enemy of Link, in this case, a Shadow Messenger.

Here are some of the moves that it should have.

A-Strikes you with it's arm
AA-Strikes you with it's arms
AAA-It shoves you backward

Up+A-Punches Upward
Down+A-Slaps the ground
Side+A-Punches in the direction he is facing

Dashing-He plows through the field flailing his arms, causing minor damage to however it hits

B-Shadow Punch (Chargeable)
Up+B-The leaps into the air with a shroud of shadows surrounding it. The shadow causing damage to however is in it's way.
Down+B-It emits a high pitched howl, it will restore the value to a used up item.
Side+B-It Charges at the foe, with a shroud of shadows surrounding it.

Tell me what you think.

People would run away and use the Down-B repetedly to restore to full health which would be...irritating to say the least. But anyway, welcome to the forum.
yeah, I kinda thought somebody would say that, and thanx! ^_^
Maybe it would be that they could only use it once before getting a KO.

They won't go beyond maybe SE enemies, I don't think even you would want them playable, they're far from important.
WTF? Of course I would LOVE them playable! Why the heck would you think I posted this?

Subspace enemies if anything. It would be like...making Dry Bones or a Kremling as a playable character.

Trolling purposes, boredom.

I mean, you can't seriously think these guys even stand a chance unless you were insane.

SSE grunt, definately. AT, maybe. Playable, most likely in bizzaro world.

With your girlfriend.
..Is it me or do people post ANY idea of ANY character that they see that doesn't have a thread, even if it requires digging to the back of their Brains? It's like SmashBros2000.

Like it was said on Show Me Your News, every character imaginable has a thread.

... some minor, generic enemy from a franchise that isn't exactly in need for additional representation? LOL

Lets just say they have about the same chance of being playable as a Goomba or Hammer Brother does and leave it at that.

look, *******, just because you don't think it's a good idea, it doesnt mean it not a possibility. NOBODY has the power to know who the playable characters are, so as long as we are still finding **** out, everyone can think and post what ever the hell they want!

I don't think general characters as opposed to specific characters with identities are a good idea.

But with the howling thing that brings back its fallen comrades unless you go for multiple kills, it would make for an interesting Subspace Emissary enemy.

Ok, I like your dedication to your character so I wanna see if I can help, feel free to ignore this.

PROS
Unique character/unique move list.
From newest game in series.
Would be fun to play as.
Adds variety.

CONS
Generic/not a major character.
Only in one game in series.
Zelda series has enough representation. (possibly.)
Semi-useless Down-B

Possible Down-B: Twilight Roar: Twilight Messenger roars and any character directly touching Twilight Messenger goes into their "broken shield animation." This would probably have some start up lag and would leave Twilight Messenger open to attacks upon missing the enemy.
Possible Final Smash: Twilight Portal: A giant Twilight Portal appears at the top of the screen (like on the Bridge of Eldin stage) and debris begins to fly out of the Portal. The damage/knockback is similar to the tools in Flatzone.
So anyway, good job thinking up a fun character for Brawl, I certainly wouldn't be upset to see the Twilight Messenger play a part in Brawl. It may be unlikely but you never really know with Sakurai. Keep rooting for the Twilight Messenger!

(Edited because it removes extra spaces >.>)

He's not INSANE, it's the same reason you have a Shy Guy (and Dingodile? Wow...Old Dingodile>>>New Dingodile btw). Sure it's a character who's pretty generic, but there is a CHANCE that they could be playable. Their first apperance was on a Nintendo console and while they may be suited for an AT, it's not at all impossible. Personally I tend to agree that it's a long shot, but it is possible and I just hate to see people take a character idea as a black or white kind of deal; "Yes they're gonna be in!" or "No they have no chance at all, that's stupid." The OP just posted an idea of a fun character to play as which in essense is exactly what we all want from Brawl. Thank you for letting me waste your time : )
