I was bored the other day, and prepared some Codec scripts for characters who may have (and... may not have...) appeared in Brawl. I may have some more up later, but for now...

Travis Touchdown

Snake: What the... who is this weirdo?

Otacon: Oh, Travis?

Snake: What? You know this guy!?

Otacon: Oh yeah, we go way back. We used to run into one another at conventions all the time. But, he hasn't been showing up as much lately, I hear he's pretty busy with the assassin work after he won that beam saber in an internet auction.

Snake: An online auction!? It's that easy to get a weapon like that?

Otacon: Well, I don't think it was all that easy, he did have to snipe a guy for it. Anyways, he may seem like a nerd, but watch out. He's a master of Lucha Libre, and his unorthodox sword techniques have taken down many of the worlds best assassins. Guess you can be an Otaku and pretty tough huh?

Snake: Whose side are you on anyways?

Otacon: Oh... sorry.

Cloud Strife

Snake: Just look at the size of that sword... and he's spinning it around like it was nothing...

Colonel: Snake, that's the Buster Sword, and its owner is Cloud Strife. Rumor has it that he was an ex-member of the elite paramilitary unit SOLDIER. However, he's more known for his life later as a mercenary operating under the group AVALANCHE, taking on the Shinra Electric Power corporation over their destruction of the planet through overuse of limited natural resources.

Snake: So, he's some kind of eco-terrorist? He doesn't really strike me as the type for that.

Colonel: There's more to it than that Snake, but that's not important now. Do you see those small glowing stones he has set into his armor and weapons? Those are 'Materia', they allow him to draw out magical powers. Everything from calling down bolts of lightning to summoning a giant fat bird to sit on you.

Snake: A giant bird? Thanks Colonel, but, for the time being I think I'll worry more about that sword.

Ryu (Street Fighter)

Snake: He seems very focused.

Mei-Ling: He's both focused and relaxed at the same time, that's how Ryu always fights. Do you see those symbols on his belt?

Snake: I can't really make them out from here...

Mei-Ling: They represent the four elements. The meaning basically translates to 'Swift as the Wind, Silent as a Forest, Fierce as Fire and Immovable as Mountain'

Snake: Right... so anyways...

Mei-Ling: Snake, those principles have a lot to do with the way that Ryu fights, if he didn't live by that creed, be probably wouldn't have mastered the Hadoken, a technique which allows him to draw his Ki into a fierce ball that he can throw out from his hands. It takes a lifetime of training and dedication to learn things like that

Snake: So that's why it didn't work...

Mei-Ling: Snake, have you been trying to do Hadokens yourself?

Snake: Uh... sorry, gotta get back to the fight.

Yugi

Snake: Whats an emo kid doing out here?

Otacon: That's Yugi Moto, you might want to watch out Snake, he's the 'King of Games'

Snake: Yeah, too bad for him this isn't some game.

Otacon: Right, well... anyways, Yugi is actually a combination of two personalities, a young boy, and an ancient Pharaoh who died long ago. They team up to play a popular children's card game called 'Duel Monsters', and to battle against ancient evils using magical powers. You might want to watch out, those monsters he's summoning aren't just holograms, they're the real deal.

Snake: Two personalities huh? Like Liquid... but... this just doesn't...

Otacon: Snake, I know it sounds...

Snake: Look, sorry, but even after everything I've seen, I'm just not going to believe there's an MPD case out there that's summoning demons from trading cards. Anyways, it doesn't matter what he is as long as I take him down.

Otacon: Well... yeah... good luck.

Jesus

Snake: You've gotta be kidding me!

Colonel: Snake, watch out, that's our lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

Snake: You're joking, it's just some guy dressed up right?

Colonel: You know as well as I do that the bible spoke of Jesus's return and many scholars have put it as coming during our times. This might be the sign of the apocalypse as we know it. Sonic and Mario coming together for a game sounds like the sort of thing that was referenced in ancient texts... it really must be the rapture.

Snake: Should... should I even be fighting him?

Colonel: Snake! You have to keep focused. Jesus wants nothing more than to usher about the end of the world with his return. You may be our last chance to stop him from succeeding in his plans. The United States, no... all of humanity is counting on you.

Snake: Well... guess I've never been a god fearing man before, no point in starting now... I understand Colonel, Snake out.
