What new Items would you want?

[Guybrush20X6]

One part that's been neglected in discussion is what new items there would be.

For reference here's the current ones and what series they're from.

Spoiler

Smash Original

Assist Trophy, Barrel, Beam Sword, Blast Box, Bumper, Crate, Capsule, Cloaking device (kinda), Cracker Launcher, Fan, Gooey Bomb, Home-Run Bat, Motion Sensor Bomb (Kinda), Party Ball, Rolling Crate, Team Healer, Timer, Ray Gun, Sandbag

Mario

Donkey Kong

Barrel Canon, Banana, Spring, Hammer

Zelda

Heart Container, Deku Nut, Bunny Hood

Metroid

Pokemon

Pokeball

Star Fox

Smart Bomb

Mother/Earthbound

Mr. Saturn, Franklin Badge

Animal Crossing

Pitfall

Retro

Flipper, Urina, Lip's Stick, Super Scope

As you can see the majority of items are original or come from Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda and Kirby. Do we need better series variety?

Here's some suggestions

Ultra-Bitter Spray (Pikmin)

Use this to turn the opponent into Stone, They become impervious to knock back but can't move and take all damage.

Master Ball (Pokemon)

In the same vein as the Golden Hammer the Master Ball is a rare, supped up version of the Pokeball. Grabbing it almost guarantees a legendary Pokemon will appear. But also like the Golden hammer there's a chance it'll be a dud and summon that god damned goldeem

Yoshi Egg (Yoshi, duh)

This throwable item works like it does in the original Yoshi's Island with the osculating target system and when it rebounds (up to 3 times) it does more damage.

Urina in italian means "piss". What item is that?

 

[FalKoopa]

LOL, it's "UNIRA", that sea urchin.

 

[Vintage Creep]

LOL, it's "UNIRA", that sea urchin.

That makes sense now.

 

[Frostwraith]

Urina in italian means "piss". What item is that?

It also means that in Portuguese.

Like FalKoopa said, it's Unira, as in, the N and R are swapped.

Can't take the item's name seriously, because of this frequent typo and its subsequent meaning in my native language.

 

[slambros]

I think I'll be fine as long as assist trophies make a return.

Maybe Mr. Saturn. Just for fun.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

To reiterate the purpose, what NEW items would you want?

 

[FalKoopa]

The Blue Shell. Hits (devastates) the one currently leading the match.

 

[Vintage Creep]

I would like that, actually. Also the thunder to work properly. Stop all that "random effect" ****, if you get it, OTHER PEOPLE get shrink, NOT YOU.

 

[Wegenbarth]

To be honest, I just want MOAR Pokemon and Assist Throphies. I don't get why Sakurai cut out most of the Melee Pokes except for Charizard, Blastoise and the plant one.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

I would like that, actually. Also the thunder to work properly. Stop all that "random effect" ****, if you get it, OTHER PEOPLE get shrink, NOT YOU.

I can't recall the last time I got the thunder and it went to my favor. I usually just stay away from it these days.

As for items:

The white dizzy thingies from Yoshi's Island. Throw one at an opponent and his character would begin tripping become harder to control, or just make it have the same effect as when your shield is getting broken. Super annoying item, but hey, that's what items are for.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

New items?

Levin Sword(Fire Emblem)
A Tome of some sort(Fire Emblem)
Claymore Mine(Metal Gear)(could replace motion-sensor bomb)
NES Zapper(replaces Ray Gun)

 

[Fire Emblemier]

Maybe you should add a part on the OP to show suggested weapons.
New items-
-Yoshi Egg (Yoshi series)
-Ice flower (New Mario Bros.)
-Magic Tome (Fire Emblem)
-Maybe one of the weapons from KI: Uprising ex. black club or compact arm
-Frisbee (smash Bros. Weapon)
-Mr saturn-like Goomba (Mario)

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Not a bad idea Fire Emblemer, I'll adda collapse tag to make the OP a bit more wieldy first.

 

[Knight Dude]

It'd be cool to use the Ice Flower from the newer Mario games. It'd be a rare item but it would work in a similar fashion as the Fire Flower. With Metroid, maybe the Power Bomb can work as a rarer item. Also, what about those healing units from the prime games? Those could function as healing items. Like the small ones healing 10%, and the medium ones healing 20%. No need to use the large ones as they already have the tomatoes and heart containers.

 

[Curious Villager]

I suppose the Ice Flower would work like a mix of the Fire Flower itself and the Ice Climbers Blizzard move, no?

I think they might add the Daybreak item from Kid Icarus uprising as well. Maybe even the Eggplant/Tempura bomb too in order to turn your opponent into an Aubergine/Eggplant/Tempura and preventing them from attack but they do have the ability to run and jump.

Also has anyone mentioned the Tanooki leaf yet? When a character grabs the item he/she gets the Tanooki Ears and Tail and their able to do a quick spin attack as well as making slower falls (or maybe have the ability to glide with it).

 

[Jaedrik]

A rock.

Da bess edit ever: You know this thread has been created at least 3 times already, right?

Gliding Captain Falcon, oh man, better watch out for the Jet-Knee.

 

[DakotaBonez]

This is like the third make an item thread, but I never thought about including items from series that don't have any yet. Whatabout a yoshi egg! You toss it and it ricochets off of walls crazy fast. Similar to the soccer ball except way less powerful and it can be picked up.

 

[Fire Emblemier]

I jot some more items
-Pow Block (Mario, expect this to jumble enemies while damaging them)
-bounce shoes (works like bunny ears or metal and allows you to jump higher and even many times)
-Outrealm portal (fire emblem version of AT and pokeballs.)
-umbrella (works like a fan and allows gliding)
Also I am glad every likes the ice flower idea, since it is a very likely item.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Ok, I'll find images and add the cooler ideas to the OP... tomorrow, I need to go to bed. Keep suggesting though, More the merrier.

 

[Deleted member]

Repel from Pokemon series. That item can prevent your opponents from getting closer to you. Opponents take damage as they are knocked back. That lasts for a brief time.

 

[Admiral Pit]

There's always that Capture Circle, Boom Spear, Lightning of Judgment, and Bouncy Bomb to represent the Kid Icarus series.

-Capture Circle
It can be considered another type of mine, but only sticks to the floor. It takes a couple of seconds to activate after being deployed Opponents held by it cannot leave it for a bit, but can still attack and dodge. However, the opponent may break free by moving the joystick/push buttons a lot, get hit by something that causes great knockback, or if the Capture circle somehow falls while holding an opponent (take example, during a stage flip on Frigate) which makes the item disappear. The item will not disappear due to the last reason if it's not holding an opponent.

-Boom Spear
This item, when thrown, moves at a steady speed, whole homing towards the opponent closest to the user. It does a bit of damage as it stabs through opponents, and explodes for even more damage. It will only explode if its duration after being thrown has run out (3 seconds), it hits a solid surface (like a wall), or if it comes in contact with an attack. It's a strong item, but it needs to be used right to make it plenty effective. It can be reflected, but will not home in on anything.

-Lightning of Judgment
Instead of being thrown like most items, it deploys next to the user when the A button is pushed (think of Assist Trophy, except only activated when using the A button). Once activated, bolts of lightning strike around the area in a medium-sized radius for about 5 seconds before going away. It will do damage to all opponents in the radius, but the lightning strikes in said radius are randomized, so they may night automatically hit the opponent if they're in range. It has average damage and knockback.

-Bouncy Bomb
Another item. It's essentially what its name says it is. It bounces around when it hits any solid surface (walls, platforms, ceilings, etc.) and will explode on contact with an enemy or takes damage, or if its duration ends, which is 3 seconds after thrown. The bomb isn't near as strong as a Bob-omb though, but does have slight homing capabilities to support its bouncing capability.


There's also that Centurion Assist that could be an Assist Trophy, hovering right by the one who released it, shooting arrows towards enemies in its view at a rate of once every 1.5 seconds. The Centurion itself will be around for 15-18 seconds, but can be defeated by doing at least 30% damage to it.

Blue Shell.

P Wing. (Infinite double jumps for a short amount of time)
Rapid Fire Helmet (From Metroid Blast in Nintendo Land)
Krystal's/Fox's Staff
DK Blast Barrel
And all removed items from 64 and Melee.

 

[SmashChu]

The Javilin from Fire Emblem would be nice. Be a battering item with an amazing throw. There are also the weapons from Kid Icarus. Atlas Foot included.

Repel from Pokemon series. That item can prevent your opponents from getting closer to you. Opponents take damage as they are knocked back. That lasts for a brief time.

You should post in a normal color so people can actually read your post.

 

[Hypercat-Z]

Kamek's Wand (story mode only): it turns enemies into trophies in the pose they are when hitten. If they are hitten again the new pose will substitute the previous one. The wand has three shots.)

Blue ! box: Turns you intangible and trasparent. You can't hit or being hitten, thought, you can still pick up and use the other items.

Biggoron's Sword and Giant Goron's Knife: Powerful and identical. The only difference is the Biggorn's Sword breaks after the first strike

That doesn't make much sense. It's difficult though to implement the repel right. Maybe if you get closer to the opponent using it, you lose health fast? Meh. Don't know.

For me, it's time the Poké Balls have different designs.
Normal Poké Balls contain weak, common pokémons (Goldeen, Torchic).
Ultra Balls contain stronger pokémons (Venusaur, Metagross).
Master Balls contain legendaries.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

It all depends on what forum theme people use. I use the white one, so whenever someone makes his/her text white or yellow I need to highlight it, which is more often than you'd think. I wish people would just use default text color.

That's not a bad idea, though it does kind of ruin the surprise when Kyogre or some big Pokémon comes out. It would however be quite entertaining to see the panic ensue as soon as a Master Ball spawns.

This is pretty much the only reason I play with items at all. Watching people scramble over each other, desperate to get to the hammer or another powerful item, adds a ridiculous level of fun to the party smash setting.

Yeah, I suppose that's true, items really are there just to cause more chaos and havoc, which is always fun in a game like Smash Bros.

True, but it's also fun to see someone with a Master Ball and a look on his face like "Now I'm gonna beat **** up" and then Celebi comes out simply laying stickers or trophies on the ground.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Bring back 2L84ME

 

[MasterOfKnees]

Haha, yeah, that'd be pretty funny. In that case, I'm 100% for it.

What's the normal color?

Not black, please not black...

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Can anyone think of an F-Zero item or one for Sonic and Metal Gear?

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Can anyone think of an F-Zero item or one for Sonic and Metal Gear?

Well I already suggested the Claymore Mine as a Metal Gear Item. (Stun) Grenades could also be a good one. The M9 might be a good item, but that's a gun(though it's a tranquillizer gun), so I doubt Nintendo would consider it.

F-Zero doesn't really lend itself to items very well.

Sonic could maybe be one of the shields from Sonic 3? IDK, don't know much about Sonic games.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

The Sonic 3 Sheilds seem like a good idea. Maybe they appear as a monitor and cycle through all 3 until broken. I think if a Metal Gear item were to appear it'd be a non-combat one. Like the Oil Drum from MGS4. Pick it up to hide in it to stop all projectiles and attack to roll forwards.

Looking through the catalog of series without items, any more ideas for Wario, Kid Icarus and Fire Emblem.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Already suggested Levin Sword and Tomes for Fire Emblem. Javelin or Hand Axe might be a good idea as well.

IDK about Wario or Kid Icarus though.

 

[Vintage Creep]

Can anyone think of an F-Zero item or one for Sonic and Metal Gear?

There could be like a ball you throw on the ground and the recovery thing from F-Zero appears, and if you stand on it you... recover. Kinda random but it would be cool.

For Sonic there could be some of the boxes (which I always thought were TVs): you break it jumping on it and you gain some power, like you go faster or be invincible for a while.
