We've all played ssb and ssbm with all their cool characters but one of the coolest concepts was the ice climbers.
The fact that having TWO characters to play at once was really cool and fun to play although hard at first. The point to this post is to find out what everyone thinks about the concept and if you like it then who else would you like to see be a duo.

Something like:

Baby Mario and Baby Luigi



or maybe Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong:



or even Banjo Kazuie



I think it would be definitely be fun to play as mario and luigi baby form just think of the awesome attacks that they could do. And im sorry if this topic has already been done before.

rare is microsoft now so banjo- kazooie has like a 0% chance of making it...i like the baby idea...the diddy kong and dixie kong one aint to great i think that didy should be in alone, he could have an amazing moveset all by himself...if i had to pick a duo it would be midna/wolf link because of the possibilities it could have

It has been discussed, but not in one thread alone, they have all been separate character ideas.

:)

I think that it would be good, no need for even 2 characters that play a like, more "odd" characters, more unique playstyles can be developed

I hope they all make it, although being owned by microsoft kinda slaughters their chances >_<

What is everyone's obsession with banjo kazooie? it's one of the most subpar games i've ever had the misfortune to play. ridiculous

also baby mario bros. or toad & toadette ftw.
banjo kazooie is far too recent to qualify for brawl

Duo are a good idea, but only havening one or two is enough.

Banjo Kazooie is Mario 64 version 1.5... in fursuits. I know that's a turn off for some people, but that doesn't keep reasonable people from appreciating the platforming goodness.

Only two of those four have a chance. Ice Climbers is a controbersial character about whether or no they will return. And Diddy + Dixie would as much as I hate to say it will ruin Diddy.

Plus you forgot Midna and Wolf Link. I think they have a pretty good chance.

Midna and Wolf Link wouldn't count as a double character. Midna would be riding, so they would move and attack as one entity, whereas with Ice Climbers, there were two seperate characters, that each did a move simultaneously with each button press.

lol you could also do a pokemon duo like
No... just no.

I'm not a big fan of duos myself. Though they are unique, I'd say we could have maybe one more. Keeping the Ice Climber's, of course.

HELL. NO. I am a pokémon fan, and I don't especially dislike "cute" pokémon, but Plusle and Minun suck in every sense and variation of the word, and would be a horrible way to gip pokémon players of actual playable characters instead of jokes like Pichu.

Ever thought of two of these three guys as a duo, or trio?

Everyone remembers these fellas from Dr.Mario, so annoying.

How about
NO

No one understamnds that this is what made the IC unique. Making more duo characters not only makes the name stupid and long, as well as use a slot that a character could just do alone, but ruin's the IC's uniqueness.

I say no to all duo charactyers. You don't need another IC. You got one, be happy.

What if there are better choices for duo characters out there, mainly Midna and Wolf Link having the best chance of any duo. And why can't there be two duos?

Becuase that's a terrablie choice for a character. The only Zelda character that should be added is Tingle. All other characters only apper for one game and then get fazed out for another. Not to mention that Melee had 5 Zelda characters.

The only character that should be in that everyone want's to be a duo is Diddy. Diddy can fight alone. Why should he have to be paired with someone else. "Oh what about Plusle & Minun?" Another bad choice. You probobly wouldn't give a whot if people didn't want duos. Admit it, it's true. There are better choices.

The duos only come up becuase no one can think of a better use for a character besides one that was already made up. We don't need them. You have ICs. That's what makes them special. You know them becuase of their unique atrabute.

But, if you haven't noticed, ever character is different. The only ones who aren't are the clone, but most of them play vastly different from their counter part. So why reuse an idea? Why not make a NEW character.

I love LoZ, but another Link is redundant, not to mention the fact that Midna isn't important to the series at all...at least she hasn't proven that yet. There are better choices.

>_< You lost me at Tingle...he should definitely not be in. Y. Link deserves to be in more than any other Zelda character as he's been in more games (other than Zelda herself). Adult Link has only been in two games. Vaati or Skull Kid have both been in three games...plus they're not...lame.

The only character that should be in that everyone want's to be a duo is Diddy. Diddy can fight alone. Why should he have to be paired with someone else. "Oh what about Plusle & Minun?" Another bad choice. You probobly wouldn't give a whot if people didn't want duos. Admit it, it's true. There are better choices.
If there was another duo, it should only be Diddy/Dixie. Diddy kind of deserves his own spot, though; so if he's not in one, there shouldn't be any others. I agree with all of your other statements, too.

CT's worst Peach. Float Cancelling... what's that?
I agree that Diddy, as well as Dixie, can be their own characters because they would play differently. I know that they were together in DKC2, but they didn't attack in unison. One fought while the other just stood back and was used only to get a boost to a higher ledge. The ICs worked well as a duo char because they both played the same way, they were interchangable.

I only suggested the ninja twins because I'm a fan of the series and feel that they should have just one more rep, even though it may be Mona that gets the bid if at all.

As for Tingle, I would have to disagree with you on that one. But everyones entitled to an opinion.

I chose Tingle becuase he is the only reacurring Zelda character beyong the ones in Smash, and Malon. There are probobly other reacurring characters I'm forgetting, but characters like Minda and Tetra will be userpered for another character. In fact, Minda basically took the spot Tetra already had.

Tingle are you kidding me? Tingle sold maps in a couple games so what. Midna is part of Nintendo's newest Wii and Gamecube's zelda game. Don't say that Tingle has his own game. I know he does, doesn't mean he is in Brawl. I'll admit it raises his already very slim chances, but it increases. Midna and Wolf Link is just cool character. Have you seen a moveset for them? If not i'll give you a link. I wasn't a fan of Midna in Brawl. But the moveset changed my mind.

The only character that should be in that everyone want's to be a duo is Diddy. Diddy can fight alone. Why should he have to be paired with someone else. "Oh what about Plusle & Minun?" Another bad choice. You probobly wouldn't give a whot if people didn't want duos. Admit it, it's true. There are better choices.

Yes Diddy and Dixie would be a good duo. The reason I think he'll stay solo is that he has a larger fanbase when he is solo. It would make a lot of people made if he was a duo. I personally would perfer him as a duo, but not most of the smash community.

The duos only come up becuase no one can think of a better use for a character besides one that was already made up. We don't need them. You have ICs. That's what makes them special. You know them becuase of their unique atrabute.

The reason they had both IC in Brawl is because they suck being alone. I'll admit Wolf Link would really suck alone in Brawl. Maybe in Midna, but with these two together that would be a good fast, strong, magic using character.

But, if you haven't noticed, ever character is different. The only ones who aren't are the clone, but most of them play vastly different from their counter part. So why reuse an idea? Why not make a NEW character.

Oh yeah Doc Mario played so much different than Mario. Same with Pichu and Pikachu. Doc Mario got pills instead of fireballs, wow big difference. Pichu is smaller and hurts himself when he uses the same attacks as Pikachu, again wow big difference.
I love LoZ, but another Link is redundant, not to mention the fact that Midna isn't important to the series at all...at least she hasn't proven that yet. There are better choices.

Like Y Link isn't redundant, yeah right. He is a young version of a character. Wolf Link is a whole different species.

>_< You lost me at Tingle...he should definitely not be in. Y. Link deserves to be in more than any other Zelda character as he's been in more games (other than Zelda herself). Adult Link has only been in two games. Vaati or Skull Kid have both been in three games...plus they're not...lame.

Vaati I can agree with.

If there was another duo, it should only be Diddy/Dixie. Diddy kind of deserves his own spot, though; so if he's not in one, there shouldn't be any others. I agree with all of your other statements, too.

So they empty duo spot could go to someone like say.....Midna and Wolf Link.

No need to get into a tizzy over this. This is just healthy speculation anyway. I'm a Midna fan, but not with the wolf tbh. She may end up as an AT, but we'll just have to wait it out and see.
As much as I hate to admit it, I think her AT status is looking good. I wouldn't be devastated if she and he weren't in but disapointed.

I agree with SmashChu about Tingle. Tingle was popular enough in Japan to get his own freaking game. He's been in other Zeldas too! And, quite frankly, Zelda's gonna need more reps after losing Young Link or Sheik. Even if Sheik were a PC, and Cell shaded Link was added, that would only be equal to the rep Zelda got in Melee. Midna just doesn't have the same popularity as Tingle, she's just Navi with a body after all. AT seems right for her.

The only duos that would be in Brawl, in my opinion, are Diddy & Dixie, only because Sakurai said he thought it'd be interesting, or Lolo&Lala because Sakurai created them. And that's only if the ICs get cut. One duo per game, or else they start to lose their shine.

Banjo will not be in Brawl. He is owned by Microsoft, unless for some out of this world reason Microsoft gives their biggest competitor one of thier characters for one of this year biggest game for Nintendo.

Tingle was in basically two games (MM and WW). Skull Kid was in 3, Vaati was in 3, Epona was in 3, Impa was in 3, mask salesman was in 2, Kaepora Gaebora was in several, Postman was in a few, and I won't go into all of the characters who doubled as other characters in different games...

Don't even go into the Tingle games...>_< uh, what a fruit. It's no wonder his own dad disowned him...

Popularity? There's a reason those game didn't come to the US...

If Diddy & Dixie do end up as a duo, I'll just change their colors until I get Dixie in front and I'll be satisfied. The reason they would be interesting is that their movesets would be different unlike the ICs who both had the same moves; afterall, they had different moves in DKC2, so the same would be for Brawl.
