New Character: Vela

[Shrikeswind]

Okay, so, Rareware submissions may be accepted, but only under a certain circumstance. They must have first appeared on a Nintendo system. So, yeah, that's that. This is similar to my King K. Rool submission (a jump-start to the submission pages.)

Name: Vela
Game: Jet Force Gemini
Producer: Rareware
System: Nintendo 64
Moves

Up-B: Jetpack
B: Tri-rocket Launcher
Side-B: Homing Missle
Down-B: Cluster Bomb
Extreme: Plasma Shotgun

"Jetpack" is a clone of Fox's Firefox.

She pulls out her signature gun, the "Tri-rocket Launcher," and fires three missles from it, and anyone who gets in the way takes 20 damage.

"Homing Missle" is a clone of Samus' Missle.

"Cluster Bomb" has Vela pull out a bomb. Like with Link's bombs or Peach's veggies, throw the bomb as if it were an item, or just hit Down-B again to hurl it. The bomb detonates when it hits something, dealing 15 damage. Three other bombs then launch out and parachute down. When they land, they do 5 damage each. They don't blow up in Vela's hands.

EXTREME! "Plasma Shotgun" has Vela pull out the Plasma Shotgun, charge up a shot (it takes the same amount of time as a Falcon Punch), and fire a powerful beam that cuts through anyone in it's range, dealing massive damage.

Taunt: She reloads her Tri-rocket Launcher.

Eh. Okay. Kind of Cloney. But so far I don't know. I can't see her getting in.

[Shrikeswind]

What're you talking about, there are exactly two cloned moves!

And for the "I can't see her getting in" thing, you wouldn't have figured Snake getting in, but he did. The only game she's ever been on was for the N64. Compare that to Snake's being on just about every system around.

[IVIr.G]

No offense but it looks like your getting mad just because didn't like the idea.

[Shrikeswind]

It's not that I'm getting mad because you don't like the idea, it's that I'm getting mad because your arguments against this idea are senseless.

[IVIr.G]

What arguement? Whatever. Discussion over. Back on topic.

[Shrikeswind]

Yes, please. I think my brain's melting.

[Ansur]

Eh. So-so. i don't like the clone moves. bUt other than that the sub is ok..

7.5/10

[Shrikeswind]

Well, what can I do? It's not easy to declone moves that would necessarily be cloned. She was the more aggressive of the twins and it would make sense she gets the more aggressive of the game's weapons (which, I'll point out, are all seen there). As for Jetpack, you can't really change a jetpack a whole hell of alot. It's a fiery vault upwards or it's a fiery vault upwards. You pick.

[Ansur]

I haven't played any of the games. But the fire fox clone is actually good. I don't mind that. But I think you can change Homing Missile.

[Shrikeswind]

Actually, it's only one game, Jet Force Gemini. The Homing Missile basically did just that. Here's a basic description.

Third-person shooter with an aim function (hold R while moving. Also the boss-fighting is always aimed.) If you just fired a missle without aiming or locking, a missle went straight forward. If you locked on, it homed in on the target, having rare chances of missing.

For Brawl, there are only two options.
One: Clone.
Two: Over-power her.
Now, I COULD give her another gun, but there isn't any real way to work it in. She's the one everyone (who's played the game) remembers with destructive weapons. Nothing else she was really a big boom weapon. I'm left only with a cloning, unless someone can fix the Homing Missle to be non-cloned and not over-powered.

[Phinos]

Why is this submission in the First party stages board, I wonder...

[Shrikeswind]

Yeah, same here. Better scan for more mistakes for one, and for two better move this one.

[GreenLuigi]

I like the this idea, but the thing with her getting in is hard, because she was only in one game. If they made a 2nd one for the Wii, than I could defiantly see her getting in.

BTW....I love that game ;D I wish they did make a 2nd one for GameCube of N64. 9.5/10 for the game.

[Shrikeswind]

It was Rareware, so that'd never happen. But what makes her getting in so possible is the following things...

1) It was a spectacular game for the N64.
2) It was a cult classic of sorts, and Sakurai seems to be eye-balling culties.
3) Rareware is now owned by Microsoft, but it still develops for Nintendo (albeit for their handhelds.) I'm willing to say there's potential in Rareware-owned characters hitting Brawl.
