My entry for #nintendo-fc's Super Smash Brothers Newcomer contest.
The challenge of the contest was simply to show who you'd like to be in the next Smash Brothers game. I'd want Capcom's two little dudes, Megaman and Viewtiful Joe. Because Megaman is the obvious one (I will be shocked and annoyed if he's not in the next Smash), I went for Joe.
Because Joe already comes from a side-scrolling action game, he'd be really easy to fit into the world of Smash. See some gameplay at youtube: [link]
Viewtiful Joe is a really fun super-stylized game. Be sure to try it some time.
The only question: What would his final smash be? I think I'd want it to be something really powerful - like maybe he stops time and you get to kick everyone's butt for a certain amount of time. Then, the drawback is he loses his powers for a while. (Because it's so cute when he runs out of juice in the game. "Wuh-oh!")
Oh, yeah; about Lucario: I didn't pick him for Joe to be picking on for any particular reason. I just chose randomly by pointing with my eyes closed at a list of Smash characters. Lucario was the lucky loser.
And the old Hyrule Castle map is back! ^0^
Hooray for westernized Pokemon. So sorry about Pikachu. I gave him full eyes instead of rodent eyes. I always thought it made him look more intelligent. Oh. And, Lucario's hand spike omitted because... I don't like that part of his design.
