In Defense of All the Cut Characters:
New Move Sets & More!
Some say that alternate costumes won’t work. Some disagree. Some say my arguments weren't substantial. I agree (a little bit). So, to make things more interesting, how about they ALL get new move sets. Yeah, ALL of em', even Pichu and the Young One. Don't be imtimidated by my long post. Here we go...
In defense of Dr. Mario: Before I give Dr. Mario a new move set, I would like to point something out. Dr. Mario, like Pit, Mr. G&W, Ice Climbers, and R.O.B., is a character that goes in the “classic character” category. Because of this, I think he is a very important addition to the Smash series (now if we only had Pac-Man). Like Pit, he has only had two games so far… Dr. Mario for NES and for 64 (they were different games). However, he is making a come back- He has a new game coming out for Wii Ware. May I point out that Pit never made an actual comeback, and he got in. So why can’t Doctor Mario get in? To all those who say, “He’s the same as Mario!” I’m about to change that. Maybe he can have a new symbol, too? A mega vitamin, maybe? (*Note: It will be a “basic” move set. I’m not doing grabs , smashes, or aerial…)
A button: The same.
B: The same as Melee.
Side B: He throws a germ at his opponent. Imagine throwing a virus at someone and then giving them medicine! (which won’t heal them…) Similar to King DeDeDe’s.
Down B: While thinking of moves for Waluigi, I decided to give him a move where he kneels down and plants a piranha plant, which bites those who get too near. Dr. Mario can shove a germ into the ground. Whenever one gets to close to the area, the germ will pop out and attack! (Also, each germ has different attacks… red= fire, yellow= electricity, blue= purple darkness that Ganon has).
Up B: This was hard, but in the end I decided on a tether recovery with his stethoscope. Sweet, huh?
Final Smash: When you press the B button, a large bottle rises on screen (where it appears depends on which way the Doc is facing). Everyone trapped inside the bottle will get attack by hundreds of viruses, greatly increasing their damage.
In defense of Roy: I’ve never actually played a Fire Emblem game so… This not be too original. I’ll give it a shot though.
A: The same.
B: The same. Again.
Side B: He takes his combusting sword and throws it, similar to Link’s boomerang. However, this flaming sword is more like a giant spinning fire ball. You get the picture.
Down B: Either the same thing (to continue the FE pattern) or… He crouches down and spins his sword around. It is very low to the ground, and each time down-b is pressed, he does a single 180.
Up B: I really don’t think this needs to change, so… It won’t.
Final Smash: This move is subject to change but… He chucks his sword diagonally, creating a large “flame thrower” affect.
In defense of Mewtwo: Mewtwo doesn’t need to be defended. It seems like almost everyone wants him back anyway. He doesn’t need a new move set either. As for the final smash, this one’s in the air.
In defense of Young Link: Yes, I actually thought of one! I think you might like it too. It’s a mix of traditional and new… As for Toon Link, I don’t know.
A: Basic sword fling. Pretty much the same.
B: Instead of the bow, I’ve changed this into a sling shot. Maybe it should shoot Deku nuts to stun opponents.
Side B: This is the traditional bow. Instead of just starting on fire though, these blow up on contact.
Down B: Why does the Link threesome even carry shields in Smash? They never use them. Well, the Young one will. You know who I got this from.
Up B: I couldn’t scrap the spinning sword so… He does the spinning sword thing but, while in the motion he takes his shield in one hand and holds it below his feet, while spinning his sword in the other hand. This will block any attacks from the bottom.
Final Smash: I think he should start jamming on his orciana (sorry, probably spelled wrong). When played, strange things happen to his opponents… shrinking, the tendency to fall asleep randomly, and more will happen.
In defense of… Pichu: Man, this is tough. However I think I’ve done it… See for yourself… I think this is pretty amazing… Pichu may become my main now…
A: Same thing.
B: Instead of shooting a bouncing line of electricity, Pichu will shoot a ball of electricity, similar to when Pickachu Bs off a ledge. The electricity will move straight forward, giving it a Mario/Luigi fireball feel.
Side B: I’m tempted to make this a bite move… YEAH! That’s hilarious! So, this move works like Diddy’s… Pichu growls as it clamps on to an enemy biting and electrocuting him/her. Fear the ferocious Pichu! It has rabbis… (Just kidding, don’t eat me).
Down B: This one is cool too. Pichu shoots up a blue beam and whoever gets hit by this beam suddenly gets a huge surge of gravity, making the victim get spiked to the surface. Also, this can be used as a meteor Smash. I like that.
Up B: It’s pretty much the same thing except… Pichu leaves behind a trail of electricity that stays in place until the move is over. Pichu gets 4 “snaps”, giving more experienced players a chance to put someone in a square of electricity.
Final Smash: I think we should do the obvious. Pichu summons its friends, who proceed to summon a huge thunderstorm. You’ve got the idea.
What do you think? Would you accept the characters with these moves? Have any better ideas?
(P.S. I know lan-lan is suppose to be lon-lon... At least now I do. Thanks.)
