Super Smash Brothers Predictions: Volume Four
He Spins Me Right Round Baby Right Round
by Coop
It is to no ones surprise that I have put more thought into the character select screen of Super Smash Brothers: Brawl then I have on many more important things in my life. That said I have a large amount of predictions and speculations about what will and what will not make it into the new Brawl when it reaches our shores in February. On Monday and Friday every week from now until, well, until I run out of ideas, I will give one prediction.
November 5, 2007 – TAILS
I don't think there is any reason that Nintendo will not try and put as many characters as possible into Super Smash Brothers Brawl. This applies to other systems characters as well, as I believe Tails will show up as a fighter in the game.
His attacks will be similar to Sonic's but not identical. He will have flying attacks and be able to hover around the screen for longer then any other character. He will be weaker but faster then most of the other characters and take his moves from the Sonic franchise.
His final smash could be a bunch of different things. He could enlist the aid of woodland creatures (not the South Park ones) or even become invulnerable to being knocked off the level for a small period of time. His ability in the Sonic series was always to come back on the stage when he fell off, this could translate over the Smash Brothers as well.
If he doesn't come as a character he will be an assist trophy. If Nintendo decides to do this his power will be aforementioned ability. If any player falls off the map he will grab them and put them back on. This would be a nice ability that wouldn't be too out of the norm for the game.
There is my official prediction: Tails will be a playable character or an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

next week predict the kickiing jigglypuff out of the game.
Nice prediction! I do have to agree with you on that one, although more on the assist trophy than on the playable character.
Didn't Nintendo say they were getting rid of the clones? I mean wouldn't Tails essentially be a Sonic clone with a few minor changes?
They are quite different, actually. Sonic is stronger and Tails can fly. Being able to fly changes the entire move set while in the air, and his up B wouldn't be a bumper like Sonics. He doesn't rely on speed either, so they could be quite different.
If tails does become a playable character in smash, his final should be Super Tails from Sonic 3 and Knuckles, where he was invincible and had 4 golden flickies who did his bidding.
I hope they'll add a download feature so that you can add some characters to the selection list... though i don't know if a feature like that would be memory intensive (I'd expect you'd require an SD card in the slot to actually have that data locally)
They already put the Stage Edito and the daily download thing for user created stages... so I'm sure thye could make some characters available for download on the Shop Channel.
Yeah, this might be an accurate prediction. I have no problem seeing this getting into the game. Although I never liked Tails much... he seemed kind of wimpy and winy to me.
Hmm... Tails?... eeeh... he just doesn't seem like he would really fit the mix. If they threw tails in, they should throw like... Sora in or Master Cheif. I'd pay to see that. e.e
