Super Smash Bros. Z? It's Not a Dream - It's Real

[The Derrit]

Super Smash Bros. is a series that has seen its fair share of high-profile mods. Melee has the 20XX Hack Pack, Brawl has Brawl+, Brawl-, and Project M, and even the 3DS version has seen its music files broken into. All of these mods have focused on changing the gameplay of their respective games, but none of them have really looked to make anything more than mechanical changes. One Japanese modding team has taken it a step further, and created Super Smash Bros. Brawl Z. It's exactly what it sounds like: a mod of Brawl that turns the entire cast into Z fighters! It's not simple re-skins, either - each character has their own unique moveset, filled with attacks and techniques straight from Dragonball Z.

Recently YouTube channel インD MARK-2 has been releasing TAS videos showcasing each of the playable characters. The most recent video features Teen Gohan, who sports energy beams, a Zero Suit Samus-esque down-air attack, and a Final Smash that will be familiar to fans of the show.

​

There are tons more characters to watch and admire, including Gotenks, Perfect Cell, Kid Buu, and more! Make sure to head over to the インD MARK-2 YouTube channel if you want to see more - if you speak Japanese, you might even be able to find a download link somewhere!

This just goes to show that Smash Bros. is a series that really could translate well into any series. Smash Bros: Pokemon Edition? Smash Bros: Final Fantasy Edition? They may never (read: definitely will never) happen, but one thing is for sure: everyone would play the heck out of them.

The Derrit really wants ____ editions of Smash. It would be pretty much the coolest. Tell him what incredibly unlikely edition of Smash you want to play on Twitter at @TheDerrit!

Are you happy Miiverse? Now stop asking for Goku.

 

[LIQUID12A]

Will people stop asking for Goku in Smash now?

 

[Trieste SP]

This way too cool. They are doing such a great job.

 

[fennel69]

It's sad that it's based on Brawl

 

[AreJay25]

Jokes aside, this is a cool mod. If I weren't just a standard "copy files over to SD card for PM" scrub I'd try this out.

 

[CURRY]

And the winner is...
Toon Link.

 

[Scamper52596]

Super Smash Bros. Sonic and Friends edition!

 

[Murlough]

Better than xenoverse

 

[dahuterschuter]

Neat.

Neat.

 

[Sidhe Sí]

So Goku is in Smash now? WE FINALLY DID IT. WE WON.

 

[(Buddha)]

I thought Gohan was ins Smash 4... That gave me a scare...

 

[LF2K]

's dream come true.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm going to be releasing a mod as well. Prepare yourselves.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

At first I thought this was referencing Super Smash Flash 2...and then I read the title and thought it was referencing the fan animation series Super Mario Bros. Z....

 

[BronzeGreekGod]

How about mortal kombat vs street fighter edition

EDIT:

This....

 

[VioletSmashfan]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Disney/Pixar edition (using the models from Disney Infinity).

 

[FEOwain]

I'd like to see Super Smash Bros. Fire Emblem edition. I'd finally get to play as myself...

 

[WalkerTheTalker]

Naruto Edition

 

[allison]

I've always wanted Super Smash Bros: Everything Edition.

DARTH VADER VS. HARRY POTTER HYPE

 

[Zapp Branniglenn]

Toon Link looks pretty beast in this mod.

 

[Reiga]

Goku in Smash?
OH GOD NO.

Also, I somewhat want Smash Bros Cartoon Network edition (though it would be better than the existing CN fighting games).
Please don't put Uncle Grandpa though.

 

[Xermo]

ew, just more PSA garbage.

 

[Espy Rose]

Infinitely better than anything the Project Melee team will ever dream of doing.

 

[Coin]

Though the Japanese shonen side already have their own Smash-esque collaboration in Jump Super Star series. And Final Fantasy has Dissidia for whatever that is worth. Truth be told I would rather see a traditional 2D fighter for FF.

 

[Zoa]

This is the coolest thing since Budokai 3.

 

[Reiga]

Also, when was Smash Bros Z a dream of mine?
You guys are looking at the wrong dreams, probably Miiverse's dreams.

 

[SmashJC]

damn i hate dbz, why nobody makes a Smash Bros Vs. Capcom?

 

[Shin F.]

Super Smash Bros: Sony Edition

Oh wait...

-----

In all seriousness, I think Smash works best because of the star power of its roster. There aren't very many possibilities that will have the same pull that Smash itself does to me, so I dunno.

I do know quite a few people that would like an Indie Smash, which could be pretty cool.

 

[EdgeTheLucas]

I'm not even a big DBZ fan at all and what they've done so far impresses me so much.

I always say that more fighting games should use the Smash formula instead of the Street Fighter formula, and I ALSO say that Goku and pals should stay away from Smash because it isn't their place to hang with each other. Doing a mod that only has these characters solves both of these things beautifully.

 

[SmashJC]

Super Smash Bros: Sony Edition? BTW i'm working on a Crash Bandicoot PSA over Luigi(ShadowLuigi~NG~ helped me by porting the Crash's twinsanity model over luigi)-

 

[Cr@zy &nger]

This is a good mod but Goku or any Dragon Ball character will never be in Super Smash Bros, It isn't going to happen. Sorry.

 

[Xpinkbean]

Well, I would die if there was a super smash bros. maplestory, But That's more obscure than spongebob in smash.

 

[ThirdDay]

..........I'm done.

 

[KMAL]

The fact that its not like every other brawl mod that just makes ******** skins for characters is what makes this appealing to me.

 

[SmashJC]

Super Smash Bros: Sony Edition? BTW i'm working on a Crash Bandicoot PSA over Luigi(ShadowLuigi~NG~ helped me by porting the Crash's twinsanity model over luigi)-

btw DBZ is not so good/popular for being in the biggest Nintendo videogame crossover :D

 

[RyuHoshi92]

I'd LOVE to see a Capcom Edition! It'd be my dream game! (Growing up with and influenced by both Capcom fighting games and Smash)

 

[Wanderer from Roseyard]

"Stop asking for Goku now"? If the Smashified series is any evidence, this will only make people want it more. Btw, how did they let the Dragon Brawl Z pun slip through their fingers?

 

[Garioshi]

They can all fly. Impossible to win. get rekt skrub$ #420blazeit

 

[LowCarbs]

Well, I would die if there was a super smash bros. maplestory, But That's more obscure than spongebob in smash.

Oh my god, could you imagine a Skyloft-esque Orbis stage? 12 year old me would **** his pants.
