Hm. This grading system is interesting, but it definitely needs some fine-tuning. It's just waaay too tempting to give 5's across the board, and a 10 point scale would allow for more in-depth scores.

I think some people may be putting too much bias into these. When Phantom and I go over characters, no one's over-graded. Maybe having two people grade one character makes it balanced?

I agree. With two people who have different opinions they can converse over what a characters faults are and what their strong points are.

Tetris Block
Representation- Tetris would represent a puzzle game, which would be a good replacement for Dr. Mario. Tetris is one of the most famous puzzle games worldwide, I'm pretty sure. 5
Popularity- I'm pretty sure this game started in India, where it was transisted to many different companies, its theme has been known worldwide and has been changed to a different tune in one song (I believe its called birthday song). 5
Moveset Potential- Anything with falling would be nice. The blocks could come apart, a block could fall on an opponent, it could change shape and angle, etc. 4
Uniqueness- Its a block for gosh's sake. A block that could fall, turn around, and be blocky. 4
Hey, look, an 18.

I know! Tetris would be great for Crusade! Seriously possible Expansion right there, I think.

Tetris started in Soviet Russia, I thought.
On the front of the original box it said "From Russia with Fun".

Yes, Tetris is a Russian game. Generic, you need to fix that

 Anybody heard of Kameo? Representation: A girl, which the smash series needs more of, and a more appropriate Rareware character, when comparing to Conker and Viva Pinata. 4 Popularity: Sold a little bit less than Pikmin 1. 3 Moveset Potential: Kameo can transform into 10 different unique creatures: A Weed Boxer, A venus fly trap, a pile of rocks, an armadillo, a dragon, an insect carrying a volcano, A yeti, an ice creature on a snowball, a jellyfish thing, and an octopus-thing. 5 Uniqueness: A pixie, but with the ability to transform into all those unique things? 5 17 |

 Rash, Zitz OR Pimple (BattleToads Franchise) Representation: 5 - One of the Toads to represent the franchise would be enough, with the other 2 most likely being expansions. Rash would be the most appropriate choice, being playable in all the games. Popularity: 4 - While its been some time these toads have seen some action, their legacy of being brutally difficult remains strong. Also...  Moveset Potential: 5 - The BattleToads moveset would be very, VERY unqiue. Giant Fists, Ramhorned Headbutts, Boots-To-The-Face Kicks, and MORE! Uniqueness: 5 - DEFINATELY a very unique choice, being its a franchise thats been long-neglected by its rightholders, but still beloved by its fans. Overall Score: 19 I will now walk away with peace signs in the air and with this music playing in the background: |

 Wizpig (Diddy Kong Racing) Representation: 3 - While it is true there ARE better reps in the Donkey Kong Franchise to choose from, it's at least worth saying that Wizpig would be a nice addition for the sole purpose of Diddy Kong having a rival. Popularity: 4 - Diddy Kong Racing sold over 800 Thousand Copies for the Christmas Rush of 1997, making it one of the best-selling games for the Nintendo 64. Moveset Potential: 2 - Not much is known about the mysterious Wizpig. It is true he can squish the other racers and ride a rocketship, but other than that, not much is known. Uniqueness: 4 - While there are far more unique characters to choose from, Wizpig seems like the most appropriate choice to represent Diddy Kong Racing if there had to be one. Overall Score: 13. [glow=blue,2,300] Bye-Bye For Now...(POOF!)[/glow] |

 Moai (Gradius) Representation: 5-Gradius is from Konami, which doesn't have any representative other than Snake so far. If I'm not mistaken, it is also the first game to feature the infamous "Konami Code". Popularity: 3-Not well known by the Average Joe, but is very popular within Konami that he is featured in numerous Konami crossovers. Moveset Potential: 1-It's an Easter Island statue that shoots ion rings. To be fair, though, DreamMix TV World Fighters gave an idea of how he'd fight. Also, having a reference to the Konami Code would be epic, although it hasn't been done before with Moai. Uniqueness: 5-It's an Easter Island statue with no arms or legs! A very unconventional fighter that HAS been in a Smash-esque game. (DreamMix TV World Fighters) Overall Score: 14.  /  Agumon/Greymon (Digimon) Representation: 5-Digimon is made by Namco Bandai, which has NO reps so far. Also, Digimon is a 3rd-Party series, not a 4th-Party like DBZ. (If you have any questions about that, PM me.) Also, it's EFFING Digimon! Popularity: 5-Greymon is considered the "Pikachu" of Digimon, in terms of being the main mascot. Agumon, by assosiation, is also very well-known. Anyone who knows Digimon knows Agumon. Moveset Potential: 5-Digimon have an assortment of attacks, and being that both have been featured in Smash-esque games (The Digimon Rumble Arena series and Battle Spirit), it isn't hard to picture them fighting in this type of game. Uniqueness: 2-The whole "fire breathing lizard with fangs and claws" style has already been done by Bowser and Charizard. The Transformation has been done by Zelda and to a degree, Samus, and the Stamina feature that should be implemented into Greymon has been done by Pokemon Trainer. Basically, they are a compilation of various styles, but the fact that they combine these styles is unique in itself. Overall Score: 17.  Raving Rabbid (Rabbids series) Representation: 4-A series of game by Ubisoft, which is a good thing. Popularity: 3-It's either a hit or miss with these guys. There are people that love them, and there are people that hate them. There is no inbetween. Moveset Potential: 5*-Pretty much, the possibilities with a Rabbid is endless! In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Smash-Up (A Smash-esque game developed by people that developed Brawl), there are 3 different playable Rabbids as guest characters. Moves from each of them (they are NOT clones at all, beleive it or not) could be used and MORE. Uniqueness: 5-They're Rabbids. Unique is not enough to describe them. Overall Score: 17. *In reality, the Potential is much higher than a 5, but 5 is the limit.  Mike Haggar (Final Fight) Representation: 3-He is from Final Fight, which currently isn't represented in Crusade, but he IS a Capcom character. We already have Ryu, Megaman, and Frank West, and there is rumors going around about Chun-Li and Morrigan. Popularity: 5-It's Mike MOTHER****ING Haggar! (I'm not being rude about this, this is how I've seen him being referenced to in the past) He's the "Mayor of the Universe", and is starting to be a meme not unlike Chuck Norris. He is very iconic, and one of the most unforgettable characters in gaming. Moveset Potential: 3-He's a grappler, so he's limited in moves by that point, but he also uses a steel pipe as a weapon, and has similar moves to Zangief of Street Fighter. Uniqueness: 3-Being a grappler, he is unique, as Smash doesn't have a grappler yet. Even so, there really is not much else that makes him unique compared to other Smashers. Overall Score: 14. |

 ToeJam and Big Rappin' Earl Representation: 5 - As Generic Said, another Non-Sonic SEGA Rep would be spectacular! And with the theme of them being from The Genesis Era, who better than ToeJam and Earl? Popularity: 4 - Any retro gamer knows ToeJam and Earl, whether it's their unqiue gameplay or jammin' tunes! Moveset Potential: 5 - With so many present items within their games, it's hard to say what ToeJam and Earl CAN'T do! They can throw rotten tomatoes, use a slingshot, use Icarus Wings to fly, jump at extreme heights with Spring Shoes, run faster with Super Hi-Tops, etc. Uniqueness: 4 - They're aliens, which is very common in the video game world. But in their defense, they're (correct me if I'm wrong) the first aliens to be seen as the good guys with humans being sought as the enemies. Overall Score: 18. |

I neither love Rabbids, hate Rabbids, or knew who Agumon was before you mentioned him.

Instead of commenting on the ideas I give, you try to find flaws in my descriptions based on personal thought? Thanks. Thanks an EFFing lot.
I haven't done that with your foolish original character idea, so why do that to me?

I am commenting on what you said.
I'm just pointing out that some of it isn't completely correct.
There's no reason to get upset.

I admit that the Rabbid information may be an exaggeration, but you can't honestly say that you didn't know Agumon (IF you know of Digimon) until I said something.
That's what set me off. That I said that anyone "who knows Digimon" knows Agumon, and then you say that you haven't heard of Agumon as if that's to counter my statement. Which it isn't. It just shows you don't know Digimon that well.
And the fact that you don't counter EWJim's statement that "any retro gamer knows Toejam and Earl". It's because you only get at my statements when they aren't as bad as the "any retro gamer" remark.
Also: I'm cutting Harkinian in favor of a better candidate that I forgot about.

I had never heard of him.

No, I watched Digimon. For years. I had never heard of him. You're kidding me, right? He's one of the main stars of the 1st Season, appeared often in the 2nd Season (even playing the part as temporary antagonist under the control of the main antagonist), had a few passing mentions in the 3rd Season, and a different Agumon starred in the 5th Season (Data Squad). You sir, are a liar. That's like saying you've watched Pokemon for years, and you've never heard of Pikachu. And STOP lowering my Karma as revenge for me lowering yours. It's childish. |
