A 2nd party is a smaller company owned by a bigger one and only makes games for that bigger company. For example, Rareware is a 2nd party and it used to only make Nintendo games (but Microsoft bought it, grrr). I really like these items. I think you meant the Leaf from SMB3, though; the Raccoon Tail wasn't actually an item. Also, I don't see how the warp pipe would work besides how it was used in the original SSB, where it was a part of the Mushroom Kingdom stage. Would it send you to another random place on the stage temporarily? That wouldn't work at all on the smaller stages and would only somewhat shine on the RIDICULOUSLY HUGE levels like Hyrule Temple. What exactly did you have in mind, though? If you have an idea on how it would work, I'd love to hear it. Customizing the Poke Balls kinda takes the gamble out of using them and makes them too cheap. Making only legendary Pokemon appear would make Poke Ball-only battles chaotic and a lot of fun, but otherwise, it makes the item too powerful and throws off the balance it has in the game. As for having Mii's as characters... actually, that's VERY interesting.:) I never would have thought of that! Thank you for the fresh ideas; I was getting tired of EVERYBODY saying EXACTLY the same thing (especially about Sonic and Cloud).
Sorry my post is so long, if you choose to only read part of it, read the last paragraph.
Well, first off, I have a question: what are second-party characters? and if you're kind enough to answer, can you give me examples?
Secondly: I have seen a lot about characters, a little about stages, but very little about items so, without further ado, here's list of items I want in SSBB:
1) Net and/or Shovel from Animal Crossing (remember how fun it was to chase people with nets and hit them?)
2) Sports items: there has always been the bat, but other items (such as Peach's smash attacks) would be cool.
3) The Pokeballs should be different:
a) pokeballs holding common pokemon
b) greatballs holding uncommon pokemon
c) ultraballs holding rare pokemon
(they would all look similar, like the super/poison mushrooms, so as not to eliminate the element of suprise!)
4) The pokemon-catching device from pokemon ranger (to shield yourself from pokemon, or to block off oponents)
5) Raccoon Tail (Super Mario 3) or Flying Hat (Super Mario 64), both with the same effect (multiple jumps)
6) A warp pipe (if there is a teleportation device from any other games, this would probably work better.)
cant think of any more...
Thirdly: a menu suggestion: in SSBM you could customize the items. A screen similar to this customizing the pokemon in the pokeballs would be helpful (it would probably be unlockable, like the sound test). I can't count how many times I've tried to have an insane only-pokeballs battle, just to have it ruined by a goldeen or a chansey.
Fourthly: I have but one character suggestion. (for the record, I thought of this myself, although there may have been others who have had similar ideas, i just didn't see them) Your Mii as a playable character!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How frickin' sweet would that be?!?!?!? You could customize his/her moves from a series of different categories, like guns, fire, assorted weapons, electricity, psychic, explosive, etc. Or...the only item he/she held would be the wii-mote, which he/she could use as a sword, bat, gun, or other things with different B moves. (i personally would like a combination of the two, choosing which moves/attacks go with which B + directional button)

Z_unit,Items are an integral part of the SSB franchise. One of my friends makes a good point: if you're gonna play SSBM with no items on a completely flat stage all the time, then why not play another fighting game that does only that? Items are what make SSB so unique in the fighting genre. I myself don't particularly like playing with items, but they CANNOT be taken out of the game. "Items are for noobs" = a noobish statement Playing with items actually requires more skill than playing without them. First, it takes skill with the character to beat everyone else to the item in time. Then, once you get the item, it takes skill to effectively use the item or, if you didn't get it, to beat the person that did. Case in point, using a melee character, I can usually dish out 30% damage to Hammer wielders. Can any noob do that? No. Also, how often do you actually land a home run with the Home Run Bat on other people? I hardly ever do because it's VERY hard to pull off. Timing is crucial, and no noob will ever get a home run except by accident because of that. SSB for DS- Been said before, but it remains an awesome idea. I'm with you all the way on that!
   items are for noobs. i would not mind if they took items out completely. your other points are interesting. i def think the inclusion of your mii (or all your mii's) would make for some hilarious parties.
   smash bros HAS to find a home on the DS too.
   the portability linked with online play would be so amazing.
SMASH BROS FOR DS! who is with me?
Coleman2886
I wouldn't mind bigger stages like Hyrule but a lot bigger and I hope they still keep Marth in the game. They should have that water-like Mario from Super Sunshine or the water jet-pack as an item.Dragonballz417More huge stages? Yes! Make them a lot bigger than Hyrule Temple? It's already big enough, anything A LOT bigger would just be ridiculous. Keep Marth? They'd better! Add Evil Mario? ...Enough Mario characters already. Make F.L.U.D.D. an item? Sure, but you got any idea how it'd work?
Does anyone else think its rediculous for Sonic to be a char? He spins in a circle, alright, great moves there. Put in Knuckles and Tails if any from the Sonic universe, then have Sonic and Shadow be items thatd go back and forth on their platform. Megaman X would be sweet too, but other than those sweet secret moves you get at the end of all of them all he does is shoot. I suppose you could get by with giving him Zero's sabre and those other moves and his shots as a standard B and have him attack like Samus for his A's, but I don't think itd be the same.
As for my personal choices, I really only have 2. One is Geno, which Ive only seen talked about briefly. The move set the guy came up with was pretty good though, props to him. I guess Mallow comes in then by default, but I could go without him. My other choice is probably the only original thing to be said for a long time, but he's always seemed like a good fit to me: Jack (The Harvest Moon Guy). That would be his full name too, parentheses and all. Jack cause I heard somewhere one of the mauals refere to him as that. His move set would be pretty easy too. I thought of one a long time ago, but I forgot it. Maybe Im the only HM fanboy that plays Smash Bros, but I figured someone would have mentioned him by now.
One more thing, please stop spamming chars you want without saying anything new about it. Im just a little grumpy cause I just read at least a half hour total of people wanting Dark Samus and Dark Link and of course Sonic and Cloud. It kinda Irks me.
Thanks, it's nice to know that my ideas are appreciated.:) I think we have an almost winner! Jack IS a fresh idea, kudos to you. It's a shame you can't remember your moveset for him, though. If it comes back to you, please post it; it's been a while since we've had one of those. Also, you're not alone; someone made the same suggestion to Nintendo Power a while ago (unless that was you). I've been trying to get people to stop spamming the thread with the EXACT SAME USELESS posts, ESPECIALLY about Sonic and Cloud. Problem is, people: A) only read the introductory post and thus, have no idea how much their "new" suggestions are nigh worthless; B) only read HALFWAY through the thread and don't get to the half that's almost all "SONIC SHOULD BE IN IT!", and think it's about time somebody suggests him, or; C) don't give a crap and suggest him, anyway. I wouldn't mind if they elaborated and at least provided a LITTLE insight on how he would work, but so far, only one person has done the supersonic hedgehog the justice he deserves. It wouldn't be hard to do, either: there was an arcade game called Sonic the Fighters, so they could rip some moves off of that. It irks me, too.Does anyone else think its rediculous for Sonic to be a char? He spins in a circle, alright, great moves there.

Yes, characters HAVE indeed been the main focus of the thread, and it makes me kinda sad, too. Here's an idea: how about actually suggesting new levels and items instead of complaining about the lack of level and item suggestions? "Hey, that's a wonderful Idea!" Thank you. Bond from Goldeneye? That wouldn't be cool. First off, he did nothing but shoot guns and judo chop people: a very limited moveset. Second, the fact that he was in a Nintendo game doesn't necessarily qualify him: he's not even a video game character, he's based off of a movie character based off of a novel character. If being in a Nintendo game is the only qualification, then we would have Barbie and Hello Kitty in the game, as well. *shivers at thought*There's enough characters, they should be working on new moves, items and levels.
BTW, if I HAD to choose a character, i'd say it'd be totally mad if they could snag Bond, he was in Goldeneye so he classifies. Tell me that wouldn't be cool :)

I know ZERO suit samus is in the game but how about regular suit samus?
Wallbrick
regular suit samus showed up in the trailer right before zero suit samus. So i guess they'll both be in the game.

ranma_of_chs
again, i think that using items grants "cheap" kills. when playing against someone fresh to the game, items are a hell of a lot of fun. i just dont think that using items is good for upper level playing.
getting a lucky shot with a poke ball is no where near as impressive at edge gaurding some one like marth or DK. case and point, Items: yes they should still be around for the Fun Factor
high skill matches: no items (and no, it does not have to be a flat level. i love fountain of dream!)
and btw, we really need to get DS smash bros going so you and i can play. that, or wait until SSBB is online, then we can duel there. look for Mr Wheeler next fall when Brawl comes out. peace

I agree with you. Like I said, I don't particularly like items (too much reliance on random chance for my tastes), but it does add a refreshing challenge to do so every once in a while. And I like Battlefield and Hyrule Temple (w/ Fire Emblem music, of course), myself. Look forward to it.:D If I'm not using "Ranma of CHS," it'll have "Ranma" in the name.[QUOTE="Wallbrick"]I know ZERO suit samus is in the game but how about regular suit samus?
NintenAlive

Don't worry. It's been officially announced that the regular Samus will still be in the game.Its probably already been said in this huge thread but a BOWSER STAGE is needed. A mad level filled with Thwomps, lava etc.donaldo1989You're right, it has, but Thwomps never got mentioned, amazingly enough. Since I know I commented on it and have no life, I'll look for the posts relating to it. Will report later when I don't have essays to write.
this are the characters em hoping are in:
Issac/Feliz - Golden Sun
Soma/Jonathan - DS Castlevanias
Paper Mario
Wind Waker Link
Kalas from baten kaitos
Lloyd fro Tos
Another Major Zelda Villain, not just ganondorf, such as Vaati ( sp?)
Characters they should delete are:
Doctor MarioÂ
Young Link
I really hope they redesign every character, not just mario and link ( so far). Not just better graphically but with diffrent costumes. I heard ganondorf will have his twilight princess form, i hope htat the same for everyone, so they take the from of their latest game.
This are my ideas:
1- After performing the Super Smash move of some characters, they transform into something. For example Samus Super Smash is the great beam, and after that she becomes Zero Suit Samus. Link could transform into Wolf Link with Midna on top, Mario in FLUDD Mario, Luigi in Vacuum Luigi, Zelda in Sheik or Tetra, Pikachu in Raichu (lol) and if Sonic is in the game (hope so) his transformation is Super Sonic.
2- At least this game must have two characters per franchise, (except those cases that are impossible like Ice Climbers) because it can't be possible that when SSBM was released here there were two uknown characters from an unknown franchise in America (Fire Emblem), and Donkey Kong which was well known had only one character (Now they must add Diddy Kong and King K. Rool).
3- More Nintendo characters than ever with new franchises: Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Ballon Fight, Mach Rider, Project HAMMER, etc.
4- If there are more third party characters my personal favorites are: Sonic (sega) and Megaman (Capcom). From Sonic the following characters: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Dr. Robotnik.
What do you think?.Â
[QUOTE="lvin5992"]There has to be a Metal Gear stage.that would be kewlThere is an MG stage :P ... I'm wondering what Pit's stage will be like since his last game was on the NES.

1) Post-attack transformations? Takes too much time if you want to transform right away. It makes more sense to have that as a completely separate command than combining it with an attack. 2) Two characters from each franchise would be nice. Only problem with the Donkey Kong characters is that Rareware is now owned by Microsoft. The only Donkey Kong character Nintendo has the rights for anymore is Donkey Kong. 3) We'll most undoubtedly see characters from new franchises in Brawl.:) 4) Here we go again with the unelaborated Sonic suggestions...*sigh*This are my ideas:

I probably said this way earlier in this thread but I'll say it again. As long as Ridley is a playable character in SSBB, I'll be happy. Kreatzionthats all i care about too!

I forgot about DK Jr... That's not only a good idea, I think it's quite probable that he's already on the (unreleased) roster.Here are my char choices:
Birdo (tag team with bowser).
Bomberman (tag team with bonk)
Bonk (the same as above, TG16 games are selling too well on VC, and hudson soft has good contacts with nintendo, remenber , they made the first mario party game for the N64)
Cinder (the Arcade KI is developed by nintendo and Midway, only the console versions of KIÂ are owned by Rare).
Sonic (special event: classic videogame rivals).
Jago or Fulgore (oh!!! sweet !!!)
Mach rider (a mad max style biker would be really cool)
Balloon Fighter (a kirby stile char, weak, but very nimble)
Pac-Man (80' Arcade clash Dk vs Pac-man)
Goemon (another Konami char would be great)
Megaman "classic" (the best 8 bit hero)
Play with your Mii (you can choose the moves for your Mii, you can have a lot of weak moves and abilitys or have only a few and powerfull ones and some penaltys apllied to your char).
Scenery:
F1 race,Metal gear,a arcade cabinet,Fulgore's stage,Sonic 1.
Extra:
Combo system,tag team,super moves,counters,diminish the power of flying chars like kirby,online system,online rankings,costume shop.
