Brawl was a joy to play when I rented it two months back. I'll probably buy a copy when I go get GTAIV in Knoxville. Here are my top ten favorite Brawlers from all three Smash Bros. games. Hold onto your hat!
10. Captain Falcon: My favorite racing series has always been F-Zero and the good ole' Captain takes on a somewhat humorous role in Smash Bros. He's fast and powerful and who could forget "FALCON PUNCH!"
9. Diddy Kong: The bad @$$ monkey! I've always liked Diddy, choosing to play him in Donkey Country and even enjoying the sequal with Diddy and Dixie. I love his barrel jet-pack in Brawl!
8. Mr. Game & Watch: When I first caught eye of this hidden Melee fighter, I didn't know what to think. Little did I know I was looking at Nintendo's original mascot, the one who was king before Mario was stomping Koopas! I like Mr. G&W's sporadic play style, pulling stuff out of nowhere. I also like how everyone else is 3D, while he's in pixelated 2D goodness.
7. Wario: You can't help but laugh while playing as this guido! I've always wanted to play as Wario since the Melee days (being addicted to Wario Land 4) and the dream has been realised! His combination of gross out and powerful moves makes for a fun play, however at times he can feel sluggish.
6. Fox: Yes Falco and Wolf may be stronger, but Fox is the original Luke Skywalker, Nintendo guy...anthro fox thing. Anyway his speed rivals that of Sonic and is a good balance of defense and offense.
5. Pokemon Trainer (AKA Red): Ok now this fighter was something new and interesting! Standing in the background, he would use Squirtel, Ivysaur or Charizard! Awesome! Move over Mewtwo! There was quite a funny scenario using Pokemon Trainer in Subspace Emmisary. I noticed how the Trainer himself was always ahead of the Pokemon, crossing walls and such. My brother was like " how does he do that?". I says "he found a way!" in an ominous voice! XD
4. Young Link: My favorite version of Link from Ocarina of Time and my personal favorite Majora's Mask. When a friend of mine and I first encountered him on Melee, I about died! I was so excited and determined to unlock him! He may be weaker than adult Link, but he's more agile making him and excellent combatant!
3. Luigi: My favorite of the Mario Bros! This game proves that Luigi has guts and isn't a big baby! Heck, he saved everyone elses butts from Tabuu along with Ness and King Dedede. His moveset could use some refinement, but otherwise he's fun to use. I think his intro in the Subspace story was the funniest! This game's winner is...WaddleDee! XD
2. Captain Olimar: I was surprised to see him make it into Brawl! I hadn't played Pikmin in a long time and it was a blast using him in a different situation. Shame that Captain Falcon killed all his Pikmin! XD
1. Sonic the Hedgehog: Was there any doubt? You all saw this one coming! The fastest thing alive and my video game hero belongs on the top spot! Look out Mario! In Brawl, Sonic is the fastest character and his intro at the end of Subspace was the coolest! That's my vote for Best Video Game Moment!
And those are my top ten Brawlers. Now here's a list of ten characters I'd like to see in a future installment.
10. Blood Falcon: No coincidence that both Falcons are number ten, honest! Blood Falcon I find is cooler than C. Falcon. It'd be great to see another F-Zero character who's not an Assist Trophy. I bet blood would shower from his arm during a punch! His final Smash would probably be something brutal and dark, but what?
9. Machop: My favorite Pokemon. Machop is a fighting type Pokemon and would be the best choice for Smash Bros. Plus, since he's small, he'd be fast too! His final smash would probably be evolution into Machoke with one-hit KO punches! Yeah!
8. Fushion Suit Samus: Zero Suit Samus was sexy, but I really liked the Fusion suit from Metroid Fusion. She'd be more agile than her regular suit and more powerful than her Zero Suit! I don't know what her final smash would be though.
7. Louie: Olimar's bumbling sidekick from Pikmin 2. Can't such much more than that his final smash would probably something accident prone.
6. Krystal: This is one I hoped to see on Brawl, but not as a trophy. Krystal could use her staff and speed to her advantage. Her final smash would probably have to do with her staff or dinosaurs.
5. Cranky Kong: He may be old, but I bet he could pack a wallop! Cranky's final smash would probably be rage related.
4. Waluigi: An Assist Trophy in Brawl, but a possible playable in the future. Add him and you have both the Mario and Wario Bros! Waluigi's frame would allow him to be the fastest out of all four of them. Final smash would probably have to do with tennis...I'm guessing.
3. Vanessa Schneider: Remember that Gamecube hit P.N.03? I do, it was great. I think Samus needs competition and Vanessa is the girl to do it! In her final smash, she'd dance sporadically shooting lasers everywhere!
2. Silver the Hedgehog: Saw this one eh? Silver is cool in my eyes and it would be great to see him join the fight! He has psychic abilities! That'd work! Final smash? I dunno.
1. Knuckles the Echidna: You can't say you didn't see this one coming! You can't! Knuckles is a fighter and the perfect fit for Smash Bros! Get it done SEGA! Final Smash would be like a power explosion from the Master Emerald!
There ya go. Enjoy
Make love, not war!
