AC:NL - The Villager

Today me and my friend were fighting in SSB4, me being Charizard and him being Little Mac. I took his last stock with Fly and he said "I should've known I would lose, flying is super effective against fighting." So that got me thinking. If non-Pokemon Smash Bros characters had a Pokemon typing then what do you think it would be? For example I feel like Megaman would be a Steel type. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
 
I bet Mario and Luigi would be either ground or normal.
Link and Toon Link might be fighting.
Sonic would be ground, and PacMan might be electric(?) So, yeah that pretty much covers a few of the basic ones.
 
It would be really cool if Super Smash Brothers had type matching and advantages :p But I think that a lot of problems can arise with that :p Like when your opponent will just choose a character to counter you and such , and it would be pretty hard to determine the character types :p

Like what would characters with swords type would be ? :rolleyes: Maybe like umm ... fighting steel or ... yeah :meh:
 
this could be fun if it was added, but as an optional mode (like stamina) because like @Eridan said, it would probably go like this: i'll use mario! oh yeah, i'll use little mac! then i'll use charizard instead:sneaky: nvm, i'm pac man! now i'll be sonic! you know the rest :meh:
 
But that would make smash more confusing, having to memorize types in an all out fighter game. I mean basics like the Pokemon fighting types would be ok but for all the fighters I think it would be quite a hassle, not to mention all the moves having specific types too, I just prefer sparring at everyone with attacks than trying to remember types and stuff.
 
Nice thread!

Hmmmm. =P
  • Charizard would be fire type
  • Robin: Fire/Electric
  • Zero Suit Samus: Electric
  • Rosalina: Fairy
  • Peach: Normal
  • Kirby: Normal
  • Marth/Lucina/Ike: Fighting
That's all I could think of right now. >.<
 
Pikmin are every element or at least known to smash besides ice, you got Poison, Fire, Electric, Water, and I guess normal as well as a plant so Olimar would be OP. I like to think each character does have checks and balances based on usage, weaknesses and/or range, amount of damage, survivability, etc. Like an easy example is Pac Man < Rosalina and Luma or Meta Knight (Flying and Steel) > Little Mac
 
I bet Mario and Luigi would be either ground or normal.
Link and Toon Link might be fighting.
Sonic would be ground, and PacMan might be electric(?) So, yeah that pretty much covers a few of the basic ones.
Click to expand...
I think mario and luigi should also be part fire cuz of fire mario fireballs.
Sonic should also be part electric as electric tops are usually fast and ground types are kinda slow.

But the idea in general would be fun.
Bowser=fire
Bowser jr=steel
Shulk=phsycic, fighting
Yoshi=dragon
Dk=fighting
Dark pit=dark
 
As interesting as it sounds,it would make Smash a much more complicated game.Otherwise,here's some examples that came through my head while on the topic:

Sheik: Dark/Fighting
King Dedede:Ice
Palutena:Flying/Fairy
Villager:Normal
R.O.B.:Steel
Ness: Phsycic
Captain Falcon:Fighting/Fire or Flying

It could work it it was a RPG version of Super Smash Bros.,though.

Hmm that would be very interesting, but most of the characters would be normal or fighting :p I guess the more eviler characters could possibly be dark or ghost or poison. Fairy and Psychic for princesses and also many flying people xD

Mario=normal luigi=normal peach=normal bowser=dragon bowser jr= steel link=fighting/steel toon link=fighting/steel zelda=psychic ganondorf=dark Lucina=fighting/steel marth=fighting/steel ike=fighting/steel robin=psychic/steel rob=steel mr.game and watch=normal rosalina and luma=fairy kirby=fairy/flying king dedede= normal meta knight=flying/steel pit=flying dark pit=dark/flying paulentena=fairy little mac=fighting captain falcon=fire villager=normal mii sword=steel mii brawler= fighting ness=psychic lucas=psychic sonic=normal pac man=normal mega man=steel
those are the types that I think would match up with the smash bros. characters but some I just have no idea what type they would be.

I know all the fighters who use their hands to attack would be fighting types, the magic based users would be psychic, and the sword fighters would be a dual fighting steel type. The type if they were implemented would add variety to the gameplay, but it is unnecessary to memorize all types and it can be a disadvantage so it can get quite complicated.

No only types for characters, but types for moves, too. Mario's fireball can do more damage to Olimar, a grass type, but any other move does the normal amount of damage. I feel like this would go well for a Smash Bros RPG, but it wouldn't seem to fit in much with the fighting game. First of all, the game balances. Let's say you're Lucas, maybe a Psychic and Ice, and you're challenged by a Roy. Roy would always have an upper hand, even if they try to balance it out, which they can't without getting rid of the whole types completely. And let's also say this is on For Glory, where you can't see who you're opponent is. This would cause mayhem, and the game wouldn't be the same. Still up for the idea on an RPG tho.

This would be cool. It would bring a new twist to the smash series and a lot more thinking too! You would have to learn what type it is which I bet would be super hard like link. What type is link?
