3rd Party Franchise Funtime Thread!

Where's the other two specials? :<

EDIT:


Company: Shiny Entertainment/Interplay

Franchise: Earthworm Jim

Character: Earthworm Jim

Earthworm Jim was one of the few platforming mascots of the early '90s who took off and made something of himself. He's also the realization of the American dream in video game design, considering he was a smalltime US developer's attempt at creating their own "Mario." Jim's a classic by today's standards, and would gladly accept a role in any future Smash game (or any paying job, for that matter).

Beside: all the one liners and awesome quips this guy would be adding to the game are worth the ticket price alone.

Notable Moves:
Blaster -- With a press of B, Jim holds out his blaster pistol and fires a round of shots that deals light damage but also pushes back enemies (Water Gun style). If you hold B, Jim will continue with the rapidfire and can now multidirectional aim anywhere in front of or above him. The range for this attack to hit the foe is small and stops after a certain distance, so it's good for edgeguarding and approach but not heavy damage. After 100 rounds, Jim has to recharge.

Head Whip -- Forward B causes Jim to whip his wormy body out of the suit and into the air. This attack sweetspots at the tip when the whip "cracks," and so it works a lot like all the other whip moves in the game. And, like them, you can tether with this attack. The whip normally flings at 45 degree angle, but you can also whip downward or dead ahead.

IPocket Rocket -- For his Up B, Jim pulls out his trusty Pocket Rocket and bursts into the air quickly and powerfully. He always goes at a 45 degree angle, and the most punch is at the start of the attack. You can slightly angle the rocket toward the top of its ascent, allowing Jim to curve a bit. When using this attack, Jim has to yell, "Whoa, Nelly!" He just has to.

Mega Plasma Blaster-- Pressing Down B causes Jim to hold out a much bigger blaster than normal and slowly charge. Like Dedede's Down B, he can walk around slowly while charging the attack. When he lets go, a massive burst of energy is fired that deals heavy damage. If Jim charges too much, however, not only is the blast massive, but it deals heavy damage to him as well.

Helicopter Spinny Thing-- Jim's Fair, it's his famous head helicopter thing. Like a few of the aerials in Brawl, this multihit attack actually keeps Jim aloft while in motion and can be used as a pseudo-recovery if necessary.

*Note: Jim punches and kicks, pretty much like he does in Clayfighter 63 1/3. Most of his moves would probably mimic that game.

Final Smash: Cow -- Jim strokes his chin, then gets an idea. A board appears with a cow on one end, and Jim leaps into the air and stomps the other. The cow flies into the air and disappears as the match continues per normal. Within roughly 8 seconds, the cow will come screaming down through the stage in a random spot, obliterating players who don't dodge. Randomly, other items will fall instead: a refrigerator, a toilet, or an asteroid.

Taunts:
-"Yes!" and some muscle flexing, followed by fallen pants, heart boxers, and a dash to pull the packs back up
-A standard aim and look pissed pose where Jim aims forwards, then shifts his eyes and turns to aim the other way
-"Aww... hey little fella!" as Snott pops out of Jim's suit and bounces for a bit

Assist Trophy: Peter Puppy -- how could it NOT be this guy? Peter dances around the stage gallantly, but if disturbed he will hulk out and begin terrorizing players for a very, very long time.

Boss: Psycrow -- Psycrow is part of a chase fight, similar to Meta Ridley. As one of the characters, the player needs to attack Psycrow enough times during a chase scene to defeat him and come in first. Otherwise, he makes off with whatever it was he was making off with.

Items: Chip Butty -- A french fry sandwich, basically. Eating this supes up your character so that they slowly heal as they fight for the next 15 seconds. Any damage they take is automatically healed but consumes the benefit of the item, and the rate is 4% a second (making a grand total of 60% total healed). If you die during healing, you lose the effects.

Stage: New Junk City -- A standard stage consisting of piles of trash, bouncy rubber tires, spikes, and conveyor belts. Not much I can add to that.

1: Evil Jim needs to be an alt. Yeah, I know he's from the show, but still.
2: Incorporate the Manta Shield somehow! Maybe his shield? A taunt?

Earthworm Kim should be an alt too, and she IS from a game

Company: Rareware
Franchise: Jet Force Gemini
Character: Juno

The N64 had alot going for it, and this was one of them. Jet Force Gemini was a tough act to follow, really, as the entire premise of the game was blowing the hell ouf of giant space ants and save a bunch of little teddy bears. Or, you know, blow them up too. There wasn't a whole hell of alot of depth to the story, but it was CERTAINLY a fun game. Nintendo considered it "one of the darker games of the N64" and "a bit eerie." Jet Force Gemini was definately good, and I'd say it was Rare's last blast.

Up-B :: Jetpack
Juno's jetpack appears, like Mario's FLUDD. Like ROB, Juno recharges for the jetpack as long as he's on the ground, but as long as he's using it, it's going to take up fuel.

B :: Machine Gun
Juno pulls out his machine gun and begins to fire lasers from it as long as you hold the button. A single shot is incredibly weak, but you can tear enemies up if you catch them in a spray. He has to recharge after 100 shots.

Side-B :: Shuriken
Juno pulls out a bladed star and throws it. A smash will set it on a straight path with more power, but a tilt will flick it for less power, but it will close in on enemies, like it does in-game. It's alot like Samus' Missles, but they cut, not explode.

Down-B :: Grenade
Juno pulls out a grenade. You have five seconds to throw it before, well, you know.

Final :: Plasma Shotgun
Juno pulls out the Plasma Shotgun. This thing really wasn't a shotgun, it was more like Samus' Charge Beam. In game, it was used most frequently on Tawfret to take out the zombies, after that, you forget it even exists. See, the Plasma Shotgun is a powerful gun, as you can obliterate most foes with one hit using it, but it takes FOREVER to charge it. Juno's Final, therefore, is alot like the original game in that you have to hold down the button and aim true. It's a high-risk high-reward attack.

Assist Trophy: Floyd
Floyd the Droid was a simple droid who had been named Floyd. Floyd was destroyed for trying to void an execution and was annoyed. His parts were scattered around the place and he didn't have a way to move, until Juno appeared and gathered him up and rebuilt Floyd the Droid. Floyd could fly and blow things up with his double laser guns, so he helped Juno as thanks for the help and together they kicked buns. He followed him around and played the part of an enemy detector, and if you had a friend with you he'd be the ultimate defector, for you see he could open fire along with his new bud, so as you see in this little poem Floyd was not a dud. In Smash, Floyd would do the exact same thing, firing alongside his friend, making sure that no one would kick their rear end. His lasers would fire while you attack with the A button, like a Ray Gun but you still get your punch-kick-slam-bam-cuttin'.

*Bows.* Thank you.

Boss: Mizar
The final boss of Jet Force Gemini. Mizar was a cold, hard, and sinister monster with a bad attitude. He's very different from other bosses, as he does, in fact, flinch. To compensate for this, he is invincible. Well, almost. See, you can cream him if you take it to the face, and his face is open ALOT. He uses a tremor-inducing claw attack, an electric sweep, ice-breath, and laser eye-beams. He isn't always open, though, sometimes he guards his face, and sometimes he flies to the background. That's bad news right there, because if he's in the background, he'll attack you with a meteor shower. The meteors can be destroyed, but you should also dodge like there's no tomorrow, otherwise there WILL be no tomorrow.

Item: Fish Food
Um...yeah. This is SERIOUSLY a weapon in the game. It has it's uses, but you'll generally forget you had it. In JFG, you could use it to distract cockroach enemies or detonate mines. And, of course, feed the fish. Here? It's only real use is making enemies flinch, because it does NO damage, and getting rid of Motion Sensor Bombs. And feeding the fish, which will come up and eat the food if you throw it in water.

Stage: S.S. Anubis
This stage is based on the first main room in the Anubis: A bunch of large metal boxes, really. The Anubis is wide, but it's also closed in, meaning you can't use a side KO. In order to take your enemies out, you gotta knock 'em high, because this room in the Anubis is INSANELY high.

You fight on the floor or the boxes. On the far right is a long box, and in the middle there is a stack of two boxes. The left is usually empty, but every so often a couple of drones will deposit a metal barrel. These barrels are oil drums, and they stay on stage until you destroy them, in which case they go BOOM. The drones don't do anything, so don't worry.

Trophies:
Juno - Juno, member of the military squadron Jet Force, and one of four heroes of Jet Force Gemini. Juno leads his team, which composes of his sister Vela and their dog Lupus. Seperated from his team after an attack on his ship, Juno touched down on Goldwood where he learned from Magnus that the rest of his team had just left for the SS Anubis. Juno's heat-resistant armor lets him walk in fire. [Trophy depicts Juno with his hands free, left hand on his hip.]

Plasma Shotgun - The Plasma Shotgun delivers a powerful shot with a wide impact area when charged, but only a wimpy blast when fired quickly. The charge time requires team members to plan ahead when using it. When fully charged, plasma shots can blast through multiple enemies and can be very effective on close formations of airborne enemies. [Trophy depicts Juno charging a blast.]

Fish Food - Fish Food is as it's name implies. Guess what you can do with it. It can distract enemies and safely take out mines, but really, Fish Food is most useful in its primary purpose: Feeding the fish. [Trophy depicts the box of Fish Food tilted slightly.]

Floyd - Floyd was a droid built for Mizar's conquest of the galaxy, but he had a glitch: Floyd had morals. Troubled by the direction things were heading, Floyd rescued a bunch of Tribals about to be executed. For this treason, he was scattered into four parts only to be rescued later on by Juno. As thanks, Floyd decided to help Jet Force in the only way he could: By being a second gun. [Trophy depicts Floyd, enemy lights on and tilted slightly to the left.]

Vela - Vela is Juno's sister and partner on Jet Force. She's a destructive force who's hot temper gets her out of all kinds of situtations. She was locked up aboard the Anubis on her way to Mizar's Military Base on Ichor. She can swim really well, as a matter of fact, she can even swim underwater without fear of drowning. [Trophy depicts Vela holding the Tri Rocket Launcher next to her head, a devilish smirk on her face.]

Lupus - Lupus is the mascot for Jet Force, but that's not to say he can't hold his own! After Vela was sprung loose, Lupus met up with her at the Ichor Military Base in order to stow away on the Spawnship, intending to cut the drones off at their source. Lupus is a brave dog willing to leap into danger, and with the rocket-pads on his paws, he's more than capable of doing just that. [Trophy depicts Lupus, paws extended and tongue out. He is shown with the Flamethrower mounted on his back.]

Soldier Drone - One of the many soldiers for Mizar's cause. They come in several colors. Sniper Drones come in green and hide in trees and other high places to pick off careless folks, while the red Ninja Drones follow their orders to kill any Tribal in the area at first sign of trouble. Coward Drones are yellow and very quick to scare, if they so much as get a glimpse of you, they'll surrender. [Trophy depicts the blue Soldier Drone holding its gun to its thorax.]

Tribals - These little guys are hard workers who come from Goldwood, though they have a quarry on one of Goldwood's moons and have even set up shop on the planet Tawfret. Due to their hard-working attitude, Mizar has enslaved the entire race. Their leader, King Jeff, managed to avoid slavery and sent the distress signal to Jet Force. [Trophy depicts three Tribals, one male, one female, and one a baby. They are all facing the camera.]

Cyborg Drone - This hulking behemoth is half robot, half beetle, and all fight. He's notoriously tough to beat due to his incredible size and powerful armor. Rumor has it that despite his large size, he's actually quite light on his feet. Of course, no one knows for sure, since he tends to stand still all the time. [Trophy depicts the Cyborg Drone, aiming his gun at the camera, body to the side, head facing in the same direction as the gun, and his claw over his stomach.]

Tribal Ship - This ancient piece of Tribal technology is the fastest thing in the galaxy. Or, you know, it WOULD be, but it's kinda busted. Unfortunately, Mizar's looking to make humanity extinct with an asteroid, and this ship is the only thing that can intercept it. Pieces of this ship are scattered across the galaxy, which means if Jet Force is going to save the world, they gotta fix this baby up. [Trophy depicts King Jeff staring forlorn at the ship.]

Machine Gun - Relatively weak but boasting a rate of fire to die for, the machine gun is unparalleled when it comes to close quarter fighting. However, its large spray reduces long range efficiency. Because of the sheer amount of shots fired per second, it's perfect for large groups of unarmored or airborne enemies. [Trophy depicts the Machine Gun pointed slightly upwards, looking at it from the left.]

Mizar - Mizar is the brutal tyrant responsible for all the trouble Jet Force has been dealing with. Look out for his electric bolt and meteor shower attacks, they're tough. When Mizar was defeated in his palace, he abandoned it and slammed into an asteroid, driving it on a collision course with Earth. It's up to Jet Force to stop him once and for all. [Trophy depicts Mizar looking at the camera, claw over head and hand balled into a fist to the side.]

[metalsonicex]

Sorry, Flip. I was in a hurry. These are all four of Rick's B attacks.

B - Thrusts a chainsaw in the direction he's facing (Imagine Kirby with a Jason-like mask and a chainsaw!)

Up B - Swings arms downward with immense strength, lifting Rick higher into the air (I honestly couldn't think of anything better...)

Down B - Spins around with foot extended (taken from SH3)

Forward/ Back B - Swings the 2X4 sideways (can be charged like a baseball bat) (taken from SH and SH2)


By ze way, Flip. Would you mind if I put Earthworm Jim into my fanfic? This is a really good move list and Jim is probably the best animal protagonist ever, so putting him in a Brawl fic would at least be a start.

[Flip]

No problem, man. I would love to be a part of that. Thanks for adding those last two moves too, because Slaughterhouse totally deserves more recognition

And Juno rocks ass. I LOVE it.


Company: Sega

Franchise: Shinobi

Character: Joe Musashi

The tertiary mascot (some may say original) for Sega, the Shinobi and accompanying franchise were wildly popular in the late '80s during the "ninja craze." The games peaked around the early '90s with Shinobi III, but continued to exist up until 2004 on the Playstation. Some consider the Shinobi games, and their most frequent hero Joe Musashi, to be true classics of the 16-bit era. In that spirit, I introduce Joe, the most famous Shinobi, to the Smash arena!

Notable Moves:
Shuriken -- Shuriken is a generic term for anything thrown, which for this case is kunai. Joe will toss a kunai dead ahead, fast and precise. It deals damage/knockback akin to Sheik's Needles, but since he only throws one at a time the lag between hits is slower. Kunai bounce off walls when they strike for a cool effect. Also, in midair kunai will still fly forward EXCEPT when Joe is performing a double jump. During the initial somersault that leads into the second jump, if Joe uses his kunai he will do a "hedgehog attack" where six kunai fly from his body at once in all diagonal directions facing forward. They have the same power, but the range is worth it.

Fushin -- Joe summons ninjutsu magic as he flashes red, stabs his ninjato forward, and sends a flaming dragon to attack his foes. The dragon can be controlled PK Thunder style and becomes longer the longer B is held. However, so long as the dragon is active Joe is immobile and completely vulnerable. As far as damage, it deals fire damage and will travel through foes like Lucas' PK Thunder, lasting about as long in the air as well. Very powerful if you are hit with the flaming mouth.

Kariu -- The second of Joe's special Ninjutsu techniques, Kariu is the art of movement. Joe flashes white and leaps into the air at about double his normal jump height, leaving a trail of afterimages as he goes. His jump with this attack behaves like a normal jump, so you can control the direction and movement in midair. Otherwise, he is vulnerable and if hit while leaping takes a longer time to recover than otherwise.

Ikazuchi-- Lightning magic. Joe holds his sword over his head and flashes yellow as he is struck by magical lightning. Enemies who touch Joe will be rocked backwards by the force of the electricity, but better yet Joe can move around while using this attack! The longer B is held the longer he can "charge" his power, hence the longer he can walk around while protected by an electrical field. The field shocks and flinches enemies who come in close to attack, and destroys most projectiles upon contact. The longest amount of time the shield can last is roughly 15 seconds at a full charge. Joe is still completely vulnerable to lucky blows, hazards, and stupidity, however. This attack also requires a 2 minute "cooldown" before he can use it at full power again.

Dash Attack-- Joe's Dash A is a powerful slice with his ninjato that has a sick sweetspot. Familiar to anybody who has played Shinobi III.

Dive Kick-- Joe's Dair, a powerful knife kick similar to Sonic's.

*Note: Joe's A attacks utilize his ninjato blade to attack foes, though he does dual-wield it with a smaller ninja blade. This means many of his attacks are two-hit blows and, other than being fast, have a mixed range.

*Note2: Joe can crouchwalk rather than crawl; he can also wall kick, wall cling, and, because he's so damn special, ceiling hang (a new ability that works exactly like it sounds -- hold Up against a ceiling to hang on)

Final Smash: Mijin -- The ultimate Ninjutsu Tech, Joe sacrifices himself to take out his foes! By pressing B, Joe holds out his sword above his head and focuses before flashing white rapidly. After about 2 seconds, Joe blows up and creates a blast radius that deals damage and high knockback. Joe automatically takes 50% damage from using the attack. You can charge this Final Smash, however, and increase the strength of the move at the expense of life. At close to full power, the blast radius is enough to cover Skyworld and deals Joe 200% damage (!!!). At full power, however, the attack KOs pretty much anybody standing on the stage (with the exception of larger levels), INCLUDING Joe himself. The ultimate technique, or the desperate attack of a coward? You decide.

Taunts:
-Bows to his blade, facing the screen.
-Joe disappears in a flash of gunpowder, then reappears.
-Joe stands tall in a typical ninja pose (one foot, hands in a triangle) as his scarf billows behind him (must've borrowed it from Hotsuma)

Entrace: Joe appears in a flash of smoke, poses, then gets ready to fight.

Assist Trophy: Yamato -- The canine companion of Joe's son, Hayato. Yamato appears, at first, similar the Nintendog to create a false sense of security. However, within an instant he begins to rush your opponents and violently attack. Yamato leaps back and forth attempting to pounce them; sometimes he will land on a fallen foe and bite dealing more damage.

Boss: Neo Zeed Collective -- A massive rush of ninjas! We've got ninjas, cyber ninjas, robot ninjas, ninjas with wings, ninjas on kites, ninjas on horseback, invisible ninjas, samurai ninjas, and the whole rest of the lot. Can you handle it?

Items: No idea

Stage: Working on it. Any suggestions?

Songs:
-I'm not super familiar with the series, so suggestions?

Trophies:
- Joe Musashi
- Mijin
- Yamato (Shadow Dancer)
- Hayato (Shadow Dancer)
- Hotsuma (Shinobi PS2)
- Hibana (Nightshade/Kunoichi:Shinobi PS2)
- Neo Zeed Army
- Cyber Zeed Soldier

[Shrikeswind]

I thank you. I'd have picked Lupus, but I found that Juno would be the appropriate choice, granted that he's the main character.
