Why Can't Tingle be In Brawl??

I think he can and should for several reasons:

-He's the most (not going to use popularity here, because it's not just strictly that) INFAMOUS Zelda character besides the Triforce 3. Ever since his appearence in MM, he's made one in every Zelda game henceforth (except in a Zelda GBA PORT and TP, but even in that he was given a character to represent and resemble him), and even spawn two of his own games. One has to admit that no matter how heated anyone feels about him, there will always be a perverse attarction to his character. No other Zelda character (besides T3) are more recognized, and that is important to an all star roster where every character should stand out as unique in some shape or form.

-He has a balloon. And a Balloon fighter game. So? you may ask. So, think about it, does Balloon Fighter have as much potential as regualr Brawlers do to be given a role in this game? Does he have enough moveset potwntial? Not very, and popularity is strictly tied down to just his game and not his character. But Tingle on the other hand has a pretty fair moveset potential AND can fill some of the roles BF would have, which would satisfy people who desired a Ballooon Fighter inclusion of some sort.

-The LoZ deserves at LEAST four character slots, as Pokemon is undoubtably getting that number at the minimum also, and next to that and Mario (which is likely getting 5), is Nintendo's flagship series. SO, we know at the very least the Trifoce 3 are getting the first slots and Young Link is almost undoubtably getting the boot. WHo would fill the fourth slot? Many people argue Vaati, Midna, etc but mainly out of personal perference. Think about it though, who is more fit to represent the LoZ series as the last character, minorish characters and few time villains who only have a few appearences (sometimes 1 in some cases like Midna) in teh series as a whole, or the next most recognizable character besides Link, Zelda and Ganon? Tinkle's appearences as mentioned has thus far encompassed the whole series, so his significance to the feel and taste of the series is very obvious.

There's very few other reasons I'd see him not being a playable besides size/character quota issues, and as an AT he just would seem very limited (I mean a Hammer Bro, all he can really do is throw hammers but Tingle's proven that he's capable of doing many other ridiculous and amazing things.)

None of your business.
Tingle should not be a character because you could never find a decent moveset for him. You say that he could have a decent moveset, but you don't go any further than that. Also, Zelda doesn't NEED four characters slots. Link, Zelda, and Ganon are the main characters and no others deserve to be plyable. And even if it was decided there should be four Zelda characters, Tingle would not be my first choice.

And there's already a Tingle thread.

Listen to him. Besides, why would you want to play as him? And why do you think he wasn't playable in Melee?

My ideal game is one where I can hang, draw and quarter him.

If I had limited sltos for characters and had to choose between Tingle and Midna.... hmmmm pretty obvious isn't it.

Tingle will be an assist trophy, well atleast I'm hoping.

I couldn't find the Tingle thread...and what's your proof that the LoZ series won't have four or more character slots when it's very likely? And you're saying Tingle shouldn't be in Brawl because you THINK so? Well I gave reasons why he should be in and they weren't based on my preference as i'm trying to be as nonbiased as possible. ANd the moveset argument isn't very strong either, as any character with enough gaming functions, controls and flavour can have a moveset (like Mr. G&W, IC, and Cap Falcon for example)

But yeah, a simple moveset I can come up with off the top of my head:

Up B: Tingle floats up instantenously and rapidly with two instantly inflated balloons. He can perform attacks while floating and drop bombs, He is invulnerable to damage until both balloons are popped (which requires he gets hit twice in any manner.)

B: Tingle throws a rupee. Depending on its color (value) it has different effects and damages (kind of like Game and Watch's Punishment)

Side B: Tingle charges forward in a ball of dust and assaults the enemy while mashing B and A buttons help him perform more charging attacks and combos and helps to fend off counter attacks.

Down B: Tingle gets out a bomb similar to Link. Can use while floating.

FS: Tingle quickly draws a map of his location and boroadcasts it in the air. Then ANkle, Knuckle and David Jr. come in on balloons and bomb everyone.

No, it's not obvious, why would Midna be a better choice?
