Super Smash Bros 4 Characters

Also his other skills can be used as regular attacks.  Back Slash would cause more damage and knockback if u hit an opponent from behind.  oooo the possibilities

Possibilities that would get fans to rage more than tripping though. Just imagine if they added backstabb damage as a thing, playing a 1vs1vs1 match would be impossible.

Hahaha true.  they can just make it knockback slightly farther from behind, but not by much.  Or if using in front its weak, but strong from behind.

[desiderata]

With ROB, they made his laser eyes more powerful the longer you waited before using it again, so if they wanted to use Monado the 'aura' could be a similar system to that.  As for Megaman being a clone, the only real similarity is the cannon.  Down-B could easily be Armor Armadillo's shield instead of bombs, or perhaps changing to one of several other weapon choices, like bubbles or boomerang.  Not sure about Up-B move though.

[daoman89]

Oh yeah, it did haha.  Like in xenoblade...

[spoiler]Shulk relied on the monado to help him etc, which can apply to SSB4.  So having his Monado skills having to cool down will balance him out from being over powered.  I guess when he uses a monado special, he can use his alternative special move Battle Soul to speed up the process but take let's say 25-35% damage.  Or he can use Stream Edge as side B to keep opponents at a distance while he awaits to use the monado again.  Just a thought...[/spoiler]

I think you're starting to overthink this buddy.

[daoman89]

I just have ideas

Ike came out 3 years before brawl.  june 2010 xenoblade came out in japan so hes not too new.  Plus ssb4 wont release til later 2013 or late 14

Xenoblade, last story and pandoras tower didn't even have release dates for north america to begin with though.

Ike was in two different games, second game had been released when brawl came out (since Sothe and Micaiah is a trophy)

Since namco is kinda making this I bet we'd get some namco guest characters if anything.

[Cerebus]

Uhm... about Namco... you should play the Tales series.

As for a Soul Calibur character... if they put one, I want it to be either Voldo or Dampierre. Anyone else, meh...

[daoman89]

We'll see what they do.  And I'm pretty sure the American release doesn't matter.  Hardly any Americans knew who Marth was when he was put in Melee or Roy. 

Shulk has the capability of being a unique and fun character.  Fans can influence characters in some way.  An example would be Ermac.  Created because fans thought he was a secret character in the first one.  We have no idea what game developers are thinking.  A good example of that is the Zelda series.  Surprised the **** out of us with Windwaker.

And I would hate seeing Pacman.  Wtf would he do?  He can be an assist trophy though.

[Meiscool]

lol

Shulk will never be in ssb unless someone hacks a PSA into the game. Though it is fun to think up of move-sets for him, it is pointless to argue him getting into the game.

[daoman89]

Why's that?

[Meiscool]

Xenoblade is pretty good as a game, but not exactly popular or well known. Several other characters would get Shulk's slot just from that.

Ike is pretty popular in Japan, as was Marth/Roy. Every other character is pretty well known and has multiple games with them in it (excluding R.O.B.\Ness\Lucas).

[daoman89]

Word, we'll just wait and see in about 2 years

[Prpl_Mage]

Maybe not many games have R.O.B., but R.O.B. has multiple games.
