Nine (Should Have Been) Brawl Characters

What would Brawl be like with these characters?

So Super Smash Bros. Brawl been out for awhile and after so many fights, with so many wins.

I start to wonder. What Brawl could have been.

Nine (should have been) Brawl Characters

Megaman X:

First a little history:

Mega Man X, or Rockman, was built by Dr. Light who sealed him away for 30 years for some stupid reason (oh no robots with free will!)

Too bad Dr. Light died way before then. So what happens next? 100 years later Dr Cain found him, made some androids from him (or known as Reploids) who rebel and so X ends up teaming up with Zero to fight them.

With that out of the way let begin:

  • Megaman X is in no doubt, the biggest robot fighter.
  • This guy should have been in brawl for a lot of reasons.
  • Can copy ability or firepower? Check
  • Power up that little beam of his for a mega shot? Check
  • Sidekick named Rush who happens to be a robotic dog? Check
  • I mean this lil robot would have been perfect for brawl.
  • His special moves? Easy : Reg. Missile, the copy ability , and his Reg. shot and mega shot.

Hell, he already got a smash attack. Just check out his Nova strike from the X series.

With a character backed up with enough games to go head to head with Mario (with the exception of all those damn Mario party and sport games) , this should have been a no brainer.

Shame on you Capcom and your greediness!

Now that I think about it though, Zero would make for an awesome Assist trophy right?

Knuckles the Echidna

Another easy gimmie. Ok for a quick history:

Knuckles the Echidna is a dread-lock hairdo looking dude first appeared in "Sonic the Hedgehog 3", when that douchebag Dr. Eggman lied to Knuckles making him believe sonic was the enemy. After the eventual betrayal from Eggman and teaming up with Sonic the Hedgehog to give some well deserve butt-kicking, Knuckles forever became the cool “tough” one in the whole series.

Weapons? Knuckles needs no damn weapons. He got his own damn fist and his own temper that makes Bowser look like a wimp. For crying out loud, he got spikes growing from his gloves! Supposedly he is insanely strong as well, able to break apart boulders with a single jab. Let not forget his trademark ability to climb walls and so forth.

Doesn't get anymore awesome than that.

His special moves list is a little tougher. He's got the glide attack (like Peach little stupid umbrella thing) but I have faith that the creators of Brawl can think of something

.

Supposedly, Knuckles powered up by the emerald becomes Hyper knuckles I don't know though…I can live with it. I would have to see it in 3-d first though. That's okay. He still cool in my eyes at least.

Prince Persia

So once upon a time, somewhere in some land, there was once this little prince of Persia right? He royally screwed up, had everyone in town turned into some kind of monsters, and messed up in general. But no need to worry, citizens of Azad, the clever little prince here got a weapon. He calls it the Dagger of time.

So with that bit of a very, very, shorten history of our prince here let get down to business.

At first look, this guy looks kind of scrawny, even a wimpy, but alas that where you are wrong my friend!

With an almost acrobatic-like moves and with a sadistic sense of humor, this guy will snap you neck faster than you can say "oh crap"

But what makes him special you say? Very simple, his favorite weapon called the Dagger of time.

Oh and did I tell you about his alter ago the Dark prince? Long story short, some of the sand of time got into him, made the evil side of him and the only difference is that he much more brutal with a much funnier sadistic humor.

With the ability to control time and his acrobatic moves combined with a sick sense of humor, he would be a perfect contender in brawl.

His special moves is even harder to make up, because the whole time control thingy would have to be the time dagger slow/stop time be the Smash attack. Instead I can see this guy in the same way as Sheik/Zelda. Except in this case he turn into the Dark Prince. A much stronger but slower character who has a whip instead. Whether or not he damages slowly but surely like in "Two thrones" is up to the Brawl creators. I'm sure they figure something out. Look at Captain Falcon.

Crash Bandicoot

Well, this sure is an oddball choice isn't it? But believe me, he a force to be reckon with. To start things off, he doesn't have much of a history. Some villain really did try to evolve a bandicoot a little more and what do you get? Crash Bandicoot.

The only ones that I can say I agree with are Megaman and Viewtiful Joe. I bet that the others would seem too forced when converted into brawl characters

No, no, no. You called Jigglypuff stupid. I hated this article for that very reason.

Although, Crash should be in it. He could have a spin like meta knights. His down b could be body slam. Up B could be some rocket thing (he's flown in so many rockets just through one in there). side b i can' t think of anything...
