Description Super Smash Bros Brawl is on its way! So I've been doing concept sketches of characters that haven't been announced yet, but I'm hoping will make it in. Balloon Fight is hands down my favorite NES era game, I've got copies of it in E-Reader form, Animal Crossing form, etc. The Balloon Fighter's got odd physics, and his balloons can be popped making him significantly weaker and more vulnerable, but when both balloons are inflated, he can go to town and demolish people. To gain momentum, he can twist his strings then quickly unwind, he can bop people rapidly, he can swing towards them with a kick, and of course, reinflate his balloons if one or both should pop. Most of his special moves are reduced to wild flailing if he loses his balloons. His BRAWL attack has him surround an enemy in a field of balloons, and then attack by leaping from one to another, delivering lightning fast attacks with each pass.

He would be a pretty different character, thus, some people would be happy with the revolutionary concept, while others would be pissed.

Heck, he's from one of my all-time favorite NES games. I'll just be happy to see him again!

Also, it would be interesting to see a character whose recovery abilities could be altered based on how much damage he takes/intends to do...

I would like to see something like that. But it's a fact some smash fans can't take something new *coughpokemontrainercough*

Pokemon Trainer looks awesome! I love the concept!

...I honestly don't care what 'fans' can or can't take. If you're truly a fan of the series, you'll be eager to get your mitts on whoever's available.

I had a fun idea that when BF has both balloons, he has tremendous recovery, relatively whimpy attacks (as he hits you with the balloons)

With no balloons, he has horrible recovery, but powerful attacks (as he hits you with his arms, pumped up from years and years of flapping his arms.)

And with just one balloon it's a balance between the two. One of his special moves would let him reinflate balloons...

No offense, but Balloon Fighter would be a sucky, hard to control character. But, you're thinking. I like that.

Hey, at least his jump would be easier to control than Ness's

A new style! But most people wouldn't bother recharging the ballons, depending on how long it would take.
