~New Item Idea: Boo~TOO MANY GOOD IDEAS

[REØ]

This Item would basically just be Boo floating accross the level, much like the star, and it would activate when a player touched it, or bumped into it, or whatever.

When you touch the Boo it would make the littel laughing noise that Boo's make while it disappeared, so you know the effect was activated, and this would make your percent damage invisible(so your opponet can't keep track of your damage percent), and also make your projectiles invisible! This would last for a brief time, like as long as a star would last.

*Note- Even though your percent damage is invisible, and it only shows the icon, if you are hit you will still recieve the damage which will be tacked onto your previous damage*

Discuss, Flame, Agree, Disagree.

 

[Kalaquinn]

The percentage seems kinda pointless, since you can visually tell a character's damage by how far they fly after you hit them. The invisi-item might work. Could be a little unbalanced, especially with projectile weapons. What if Boo stole your opponent's item and gave it to you, just like Mario Kart?

 

[SSJ4Kazuki]

Invisibility would KICK A online, but nowehre else.

Boo can steal items, even HAMMERS!

So you'd better keep it in your BAG like I suggested, for a rainy day.

Please say what you think about the bag...

[Ami]

Actually, I like the idea.

However, like Kalaquinn said, you can already know your damage. How about Boo gives you a random number and keep your damage invisible? Boo is quite known for confusing things up. Or he could switch your damage with an opponents. Actually, you don't need them to be invisible at all. Boo will just muddle damage numbers up. Dunno, just playing off your idea.

 

[Paranoid_Android]

I like it...

 

[Wash]

I really like the idea of hiding your percentage, but I don't know about the invisible items, that might make things a little too crazy. But really good idea, Marth05.

back on topic, I would like to see a boo item! (white balls FTW!......wait that didn't sound right o_0;; )

this sucks

 

[saberhof]

not bad idea, i had another idea if boo was gonna be an item but this is pretty cool.

 

[Pyoro T]

Seems really abusable if Fox still has his non-stun rapid laser gun, but other than that, a nice idea.

crazy and hectic battles arewhat smash is about! but really, i like the idea of boo hiding ur percentage & projectiles, but then you MIGHT forget what your damage level is.

 

[Captain_Obvious]

I'd personally really prefer Boo as a character. There's so much potential there. Besides, how many living creatures do we see as items? One, and that's Mr. Saturn (kind of, because Pokemon don't count).

[Neo_Morphix]

I think adding Boo to the game would be great, as an item or throphy or whatever, and if it is an item, it would be very interesting, but only Sakurai will know the best way for it to work.

 

[red stone]

sheik players already have that advantage. another reason sheik is totally broken. they already have near invisible projectiles (needles) and they can just put a piece of tape over thier percentage on the tv

 

[Koi Ponded]

I think Boo would be great as an item, but not as a character. He floats, so it would be kinda wierd to see him jump and then double jump, or even fall off the stage when he can just float back.

I think what Boo should do when you grab him is dissappear...and then a moment later when you least expect it a ginormous boo appears on the scream and does the creepy laugh that scares all the characters (stuns) for a few seconds. That would be awesome XD

 

[RVD_fan]

but stunning all the characters at once is pretty pointless, unless it didn't happen to the guy who got it

 

[gamelover15]

Hmmm... Maybe the stun thing is out of his character. I remember in a Mario party game where Boo was summoned by a crystal ball to steal coins. Here's my idea:

Boo's Crystal Ball

Summon Boo by picking up the item and throwing it down. It sends boo to damage a random character. The catch; the damage dealt is the amount Boo heals you, kind of like a 'draining'. Boo will keep draining until character shakes him off, much like in the Mario party game.

Sounds good?

 

[Ami]

I, too, like that idea, gamelover15. I agree that if Boo does appear as an item, he should at least be in character.

I don't really understand how your Boo idea works, though. He'll heal you? I think he should do damage, not heal, otherwise why would the character want to shake off Boo? Unless if I misunderstand what you're saying...

 

[gamelover15]

>.< What I was trying to say was, the damage dealt by Boo would be equal to the amount you get healed (20% damage added to the enemy, 20% damage taken off from you damage) What I meant by 'shake off', remember the flower on your head from the lip's stick? It would be like that, except harder.

Get it? >.<

He wasn't really advertising an idea. He was just . . . suggesting. After all, it is an item thread.

I like the idea of percentages and all. How about the Boo also makes you invisible, but you can still take damage? And also, what if Boo made all idle (not moving) items on stage turn invisible. It'd be so funny when a Bob-omb appears out of thin air and kills you!

Kudos, this thread will be added to my signature.

 

[REØ]

Wow the idea of boo has changed, stunning, life draining, item swapping. All goood choices, but I think other things can be used for those other effects.

Such as . . . ?

 

[ja_ov]

i think boo should be more of a negative item considering the fact that he is an enemy in most games

he should be one of those items that you usually dont want to get (like the poison mushroom)

i think what boo should do is invert your controls so that when you press up you crouch, left you go right, etc. or maybe he could randomly switch the a, b, x/y and z buttons.

of course this effect would only last like ten seconds because it would really put you in a vulnerable position. maybe you'd be able to shake him off by button mashing or spinning the control stick.

I like your idea about the controls being reversed. Smash needs something like that...

 

[Toomai]

I remeber back somewhere that someone (Ami, I think) suggested damage percentages would get muddled. I kind of like that idea. The Boo would activate once touched. The digits from everyone's %s would get put in a pot, juggled, and attached onto random characters. So if P1 had 7% and P2 lad 19%, then P1 could end up with 17%, 9%, 1%, 79%, 91%, 97%, etc with P2 having the rest of the digits. (It can't be 0% in that case because there's no 0 in 7 or 19.)

Went a little overboard, didn't you tirkaro? Maybe the boo can pop up and block the screen for a short amount of time, like the blackness-thingy on SSBM the pokeman use?

that is pretty cool but i really want him as a player and if he appears in an item he probably wouldn't be a player. you wouldn't have pikachu throw a pokeball and have a pikachu come out

 

[shinehex]

Invisible projectiles is okay but what about those who don't have projectiles. What do they get?

 

[REØ]

There damage precent is invisiible.

Hmm all of these are good ideas, maybe Boo can activate one of these ideas from random, so you will never know what Boo will do, he can switch items, stun you, muddle your percentages, etc.

 

[Eaode]

or he could take every one's percentage, and instead of swapping them to the other players, he averages them out, Kinda like bowser does sometimes in Mario party.

 

[REØ]

what do you mean he averages them out?

 

[Eaode]

I mean average out the percentage so everyone has the same.

Like if the percents are.....

40%
80%
10%
20%

then you add 'em and divide them , so they come out even

That's come out to 37.5, about 38%. Now everyone has 38% damage.The people with high damage get a lucky break, and the ones with low damage get screwed.

I think when you use Boo, one Boo per character should escape from the capsuel or something. If you weren't looking in the direction of the Boo, your Boo attacks you. However, if you were looking at him, the Boo covers his eyes and disappears. They don't dwell on Boo's cowardice as much as they used to.

 

[Destruction_King]

Oops. Double post.

 

[Eaode]

Yeah, I forgot Boos were cowards. That's what made them funny

Wow, another good idea; it appears Boo has much potential.

With your idea, that form of Boo could be in a Luigi's Mansion-esque stage. It'd be crazy . . . in a good way!

 

[REØ]

a luigi's mansion stage would be pretty cool, and probably big, and there could be random boos with these effects!

That's a good idea. I wonder why they didn't have a Luigi's Mansion stage in Melee, figuring it was a big game for the good ol' Cube. And were the Boos really scared of you? I thought they were more on the offensive in games like Super Mario 64. Great ideas though. They ought to have been included in Melee. I like the idea of averaging out the percentages the best.

With random Boos appearing everywhere. Nice! Besides, its about time Luigi had his own definitive stage.
