Challenger Approaching !

While the starting roster will feature many returning brawlers, it wont be a stranger to a few newcomers, it would just be cruel to make people wait to try out new characters wouldn't it ? This highly requested character is available for brawling right from the start.

Isaac - The Honorable Adept

Ready to fight right from the start, newcomer Isaac is a warrior the veteran brawlers should not overlook. This Adept brings all his skills onto the battlefield, straight from the GameBoy Advance game, Golden Sun ! With a sword in hand, Isaac is perfectly suited for swift melee attacks, but where his individuality really shows is in his four specific special attacks, all of which use Psynergy, Golden Sun's version of magic. Isaac's standard special attack is the spell "Ragnarok", which casts a massive sword into the ground in front of the character, fans of Golden Sun will remember this attack as being highly destructive, and that carries over to the brawl. Ragnarok is a charge ability, meaning the longer you hold down the button before releasing it, the stronger the effect of the spell. Other psynergy abilities Isaac brings along with him are his standard push ability, which can shove players forward with great force, Mad Growth, which causes a small tower of jagged plants to raise from the ground near Isaac, impaling nearby foes, and his recovery move "Death Plunge." All attacks are inspired by the original game, including his Final Smash, which will have Isaac summon one of many random Djinni characters.

Returning Villain

Gannondorf - King of Thieves

Gannondorf returns with two surprises that are sure to please all Smash Bros. fans. First, he is a playable fighter right from the beginning, because Gannondorf has appeared in previous Smash Bros. titles, and he is an obvious pick at a returning character, it only seems obvious to have him appear on the starting roster. Second, answering the plea of the Brawl gamer, Gannondorf finally appears featuring his own unique and custom moveset !

Gannondorf is a natural heavyweight, a perfect choice to combat the earlier announced Bowser. To answer the constant request from gamers, Gannondorf will finally fight with his sword, now you can relive the epic swashbuckling duel between Gannondorf and Link ! Gannondorf has slow, powerful melee attacks that use his hulking broad sword, including a devestating upward jab as a recovery move. Gannondorf is also able to use his energy blast move from the final battle of Ocarina of Time, which can be charged up, and shot as a giant blast. But that's not all, looking to answer all the fans requests at once, Gannondorf features a move that allows him to change his combat style. Yes, one of his special moves will have him sheath his Broadsword and wield...
The Dual Sabers set-up from the final cinematic battle in the Wind Waker. Players can hot-swap between these two fighting styles on the fly, as the duals make Gannondorf much quicker, they also make him less powerfull, so learning which style fits which situation is vital to mastering this devious character. The only unchanged aspect of Gannondorf from Brawl is his Final Smash, which still has him transform into his Triforce form, the massive and destructive beast, Gannon !

Another Three Returning Brawlers ?

Actually, this returning brawler only counts as one character, even though there are three playable. Yes, the idea of the rotational character, Pokemon Trainer, is an excellent concept and a perfect fit for brawling, here is the return of the (love it or hate it) Pokemon trainer.

Pokemon Trainer - Youth from Sinnoh

This time around the Pokemon Trainer sports an update look from Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, and features evolutions of the starting pokemon from Sinnoh. They are as follows.






Yes, that is Turtwig, Prinplup, and Infernape. These three contestants will replace the three pokemon the trainer from Brawl used. Apart from cosmetic differences, however, since the Pokemon Trainer in Brawl was such a balanced character, these shall remain the same, with a completely mirrored moveset, technically, while this is not a clone character, it is a replacement for a different character.

Speaking of cosmetic differences, your eyes dont fool you, as pictured above, players can choose from a Male or Female Pokemon Trainer, not only that, but the other costumes available are male and female members of the notorious Team Rocket!

Three Returning Brawlers

Starting off the main roster will be three characters your all familiar with from Brawl. Each features minimal differences, if any.

Bowser - King of the Koopas

Bowser returns as the series premier heavyweight brawler. Bowser remains exactly the same as he did in Brawl, with one noticable difference. Bowsers Final Smash.

The Koopa Clown Car

The Koopa Clown Car will return exactly as you remember it from Super Mario World. After collecting the Smash Ball, Bowser will retreat to his orbiting Clown Car, and players will be able to toss baddies from above, and even smash the car into the ground for a limited amount of time before Bowser returns to the battlefield.

Link - The Hero of Time

A Smash brothers game without Link is like....well it's like Gears of War without a chainsaw bayonet. Theres nothing special to say here about this Hylian mascot. Link will return with his exact moveset and Twilight Princess attire from Brawl.

Kirby - Energetic Super Star

Another uneventful return announcement. With such an already unique moveset and place in the brawl universe, Kirby returns without any unnessecary bells and whistles. Kirby will remain exactly as he did in brawl, hilarious giant pot Final Smash and all.

Smash bros. Brawl

Brawl is almost here, I've got some things to do so i'll cut this short. The game looks fantastic, and any dissapointments I have are not enough to keep me from being extremely psyched and anticipated for this game. However, when originally being told that not only was this brawl going to be huge, supposedly WAY bigger and more vast than melee, well, the roster to me doesnt live up to it. I'm aware that all the new features make the game much bigger and the adventure mode is all new, but it seems like some characters were a dead giveaway, but didnt show up. The overall roster was also much smaller than anyone anticipated (made even smaller by the return of the notorious "clone" type characters). So, for anyone that is interested, this is my Shits n' Giggles

Super Smash Brothers, ULTIMATE custom roster.


I have made note to follow the rules of smash bros. legitimacy, all the rules that were noted on the official brawl blog, i've made sure to not over-whore characters from a specific franchise, or pick completely unrecognizable characters no one knows. Some of these characters here are dead giveaways, and will be expected. Others you will have never seen coming. This is all just for whatever-whatever so just comment on each character and let me know what you think !
