Description
So, while I've well enjoyed Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, I've come to the conclusion that there are simply too many characters I would've put in.To that effect, I'm working on programming my own sprite based fighter, called Smash Brothers: Fisticuffs.
What you see here is the sketch for the intro screen, and also the complete Starting Roster for the game.
You've got Laughing Dog and Duck from Duck Hunt, Doshin the Giant from Doshin the Giant, Professor Layton of the Prof. Layton series, Demiru from Tomato Adventure, Hakkun from Sutte Hakkun, Little Mac from Punch-Out!!, Sukapon from Joy Mech Fight, Takamaru from Nazo no Murasamejou, Tom Nook from Animal Crossing, Stafy from Legend of Stafy, Lip from Panel de Pon, Jill and her Dozer from Drill Dozer, Bubbles from Clu Clu Land, Muddy from Mole Mania, Chibi-Robo from Chibi-Robo, Balloon Fighter from Ballon Fight, Andy from Advance Wars, and Geno from Mario RPG.
For a number of these guys, I redesigned them into a new style I prefer. Typically I did that for characters whose designs were so old they've never been out of pixel form.
I'm most pleased with how Balloon Fighter came out...
I'll be inking, coloring and shading this later.

Ah. It does seem Nintendo's glomming onto the series moreso, though.
Also the little Nintendo nods that pop up in the games is also a big indicator. (I.E., the Mario Bros. ? Boxes in Curious Village)

Lip from Panel de Pon?
That alone makes it better than Brawl!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ay, and now that my semester's finally over, I can actually get back to coding it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I look forward to playing it and maining Lip.
Her absence kinda ruined SSBB for me. I'm actually thinking of dumping it. I don't do Wi-Fi, and I just don't find it fun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I still find it fun... mainly I play as R.O.B., Olimar, Ness and King Dedede.... and Wario... and Ganondorf... and Luigi... and Fox... and Pokemon Trainer... and...
Hrm.
But ay, hopefully I can make it live up to my projections!

Wait! You're one of those guys who campaigned to have Lip in SSBB, right? ALGUS on the old Nintendo forums? Unreal! I followed the NSider campaigns religiously. Seeing the reasons for her inclusion shot down irritated me.
If ever a SSB4 is announced on Ninty's next console, we Lip fans should seriously get together and... aw, never mind.
On a side note, it's a shame you don't plan on including characters whose series are already repped in Brawl. I really want a Smash Bros. with Rudy the Clown as a playable character.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, ay, c'est moi!
And don't worry, Fisticuffs will come with a custom c haracter editor! So long as you're willing to tkae the time, Rudy can be playable...
Of course he may also appear in the game's story mode as a boss, so who knows :3

That's a pretty radical project you got there!
An interesting starting roster of course. I'm looking forward to playing as Little Mac and Hunter! 
Of course, Takamaru also gained my interest. But naturally this won't stop me from trying them all out.
Good luck with your game, dude. Since I've been working on sprite movies and such, I may have a bunch of pixel-art / rips that may help you out.
I'm looking forward to finding out who those secret characters are.^^
P.S. Have you thought about making a Dojo parody-site? Just for laughs. XD
(Must include "You Must Recover!")
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was thinking of that. Even a topic:
"You Must Not Recover" showing off a character's 'spike' move...
But ay, I was sad that so many characters were discluded from Brawl, so now I have a chance to make it right!

One more question begged by that drawing is whether or not Doshin is really going to be that big in the game. It seems like he would be overpowering, if so.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, he will be that large
He'll start off most battles at twice the size of everyone else, but as his damage increases, he'll shrink down. Also, several of his special moves will also drain his size, such as his Hate Giant abilities.
The smaller he gets, the easier he is to launch. Of course when he's huge he's dangerous, but it's also nearly impossible for him to dodge damage.

Are you going to submit any of the sprites you did for this game?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ay, eventually. At the moment I'm still in the process of sketching and scanning. Some of the sprites are in pieces to be assembled, (such as Sukapon), some sprites are full body drawings (such as Hakkun), and so on.

I like to see how this game works out. To be honest, a few of those characters don't look fighting materal, And Little Mac only punches. Will this be like the series or a traditional figher? Will there be items and assits?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I plan to have simplistic items (no hand-held weapons) and many of the fighters already have movesets.
For example, Little Mac doesn't just use his own moves, but a garnered selection for the collection of fighters in the Punch-Out series, such as the Piston Rush, Magic Punches, Winking Jabs, the Bull Charge, etc.
Keep in mind all Marth and Ike do is swing their swords and they've got some fairly nice movesets...

Cuold I do anything to help? And basically, I would perfer Alice from Ballonn Kid for Game Boy over some Generic Balloon Fighter. And seroiusly, That mutt from Duck Hunt?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ay, I'm thinking of naming 'that mutt' "Hunter"
And actually, if you look in the image I've got a specific redesign of the Balloon Fighter I did. He looks snazzier in color. I kind of did him up like a buzz-boy ^_^

Burden of proof now falls on you to link to a game page.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Link to a game page for what?
Oh, the one I'm working on? Still in the spriting phase, but I've finished doing up the sprites for Sukapon, Tom Nook, Jill, Chibi Robo, Hakkun and Demiru (still have to do Demiru's Gimmicks though). Once I get the time where I'm not sick to do some inking, I'll be making them all pretty, then programming them into my game.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, that's cool.
I really hope Kat & Ana are unlockable!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry, I'll say right now that characters from series already available in Brawl won't pop up in Fisticuffs...
Although I do plan to have it be modular, so it can be updated whenever.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What about Little Mac, Jill, and Stafy? They were assist trophies in Brawl, yet they're here. I'm not trying to badger, mind you, just pointing out there's a quirk to your standard.
What about Midna?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, but Little Mac, Jill and Stafy didn't have playable characters from their franchises now did they?
Midna, I'm saying no.
Most folks know Tingle's making it in, but only as he now represents his own series ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
THIS IS ONLY THE STARTING ROSTER. NO HIDDEN CHARACTERS (save for my accidental leaks of Tingle and Ray Mk I) HAVE BEEN REVEALED YET.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ay, I've got some guaranteed perplexing surprises in store.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Can't say yet. Unlockables remain secret for a while.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I hope you've got a big dev team helping you. One man cannot a fighting game make.
That said, you had me at Andy. I was SHOCKED when Andy didn't get into Brawl.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You assume.
I've made a fighting game before, actually. It had about 7 unique characters. Several stages, and codes to unlock everyone ^_^

Then in the words of Judah Ben-Hur: "Truly, you are the King of Kings."

D:
Oh well. Kyle Hyde, Grit and The Wise One should be ATs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh. Mayhaps.
Grit... Grit...
Advance Wars Grit?
And you're talking about the floaty rock eyeball from Golden Sun Wise One right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
wheres the cheer squad?
still, the name is awesome
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ouendan or the EBA?
I'm thinking of either making them assist trophy type things, or something special.
Don't forget, this is the STARTING roster, so there are several hidden characters not in this picture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
either really, if playable have J, Spin, Ryutta, and the other blonde ouendan guy whose name escapes me at the moment....
for AT
have the ouendan give more power
and the EBA make you super fast(your attacks as well)
50-50 chance of each
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You are gonna have Mario and the like on the screen right? Layton's not Nintendo I think. You need Hyde or atleast the BEST TEXTED BASED CHARACTER ever as a AT(Hint he's a attorney, ya I know he's not Nintendo :0).
I assume some of your drawings are places? Yay for Andy. Oh and make sure you choose awesome F-Zero X music(The Long Distance of Murder)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, no Mario. No Link, no Pikachu.
And yes, Professor Layton is Nintendo's. He's their newest franchise.
Basically, Fisticuffs is going to be entirely comprised of the characters that haven't made it into Smash Brothers yet
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Ay. But regardless, they're appearing in mine ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I like the name! Looking forward to this.
... is that Tingle's ghost?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I erased him
...yeah, he's going to be a hidden character, and thus not in the original image.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
by the way does this mean your going to stop making Movesets?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm actually doing new movesets for all of these characters, actually.
And I will be uploading my sketches of each character's moveset once I complete it.
Several characters are even getting all new movesets to replace the old ones I did. For example, Jill, Stafy, Sukapon, Little Mac, Hakkun, Balloon Fighter, Nook, and Chibi Robo are all getting rethought out movesets that more closely mimic their game origins.
