Bumping this topic.
This is an idea I started out over at PGC.com's forums. It began completely as a joke (the SSBB thread over there is brutal and stupid and drawn out, arguing about everything regarding SSB, SSBM, and SSBB - balance issues, whether the
or not Animal Crossing deserves to be in SSBB, etc etc, basically a bunch of dumb shit) because I make fun of the people over there being so serious about the game. I mean it's a huge game but it's not worth the level of scrutiny it's getting over there.
Anyway, here's the post:
I think all the characters should have morphing capabilities. It only makes sense.
Mario -> Dr. Mario
Luigi -> Ghost Hunter Luigi
Wario (classic) -> Wario (Biker)
Yoshi (classic) -> Yoshi (Paper Mario)
Princess -> Daisy
Zelda -> Sheik
Link -> Young/Cel Link
Ganondorf -> Ganon
Fox -> Falco
Captain Falcon -> Samurai Goro (or whatever the dude's name is)
Ness -> Poo/Paula/Jeff/Mother 3 Hero
Donkey Kong -> Diddy Kong
Bowser -> Bowser Jr.
Jigglypuff -> Wigglytuff
Pikachu -> Pichu
Marth -> Roy
Kid Icarus (classic) -> Kid Icarus (new)
Ice Climbers Popo -> Ice Climbers Nana (just switch them, but with new attacks)
Mewtwo -> Mew
Samus -> Zero Suit Samus
Kirby -> Metaknight
Man...who does that leave?
Even with new characters it works:
Solid Snake -> Big Boss or Gray Fox (whatever the Ninja's name is)
Megaman (rumored) -> X or Zero
Simon Belmont (rumored) -> Alucard
Geno (rumored) -> ....Maybe Mallow?
Ryu (perhaps) -> Ken
You know, when I started writing this, it was a total joke, but honestly, it's not that terrible of an idea, and it works out surprisingly well. There's only a few that wouldn't honestly work (Mr. Game and Watch? Maybe he turns into a G&W variant?)
I'd rather them just do tag functions if someone thought this was a good idea.
And personally I don't really care to see/not see this implemented. Again, this started out as a joke, but once I look at the list, it just
works.
