Super Smash Bros. Brawl: In-Depth Character Discussion
I saw this on NSIDER forums, and it looked like a good idea. Post what character you'd want to see, give an image, and give him a set of attacks and movements, or whatever.
Heres mine:

This is a picture of Klonoa, Namcos famous fighting furball. Yeah, maybe he is too fluffy for his own good, but to not see him in an all out Nintendo fighting warfare would be nothing less then a shame. I may have no good suggestions for the attacks, but I'll give it an all-out try.
Movement and Damage properties
As a cat, Klonoa is very agile. His pace should be rather on the quick side, while dealing an average to slightly above average damage level. However, he should be more poor at taking damage, and can be picked up into the air by most any smash attack.
He would run by how he runs in most to all of the games he appears in, with arms swinging as he runs. As a platformer, Klonoa has many of the properties of a good SSB character already made.
Jumping
As a, uh, cat, he can jump a fair distance in height, as he has the ability to float for a few seconds by flapping his oddly large ears. Klonoa should (as a cat) be able to gain at least a little height on the other characters in jumping.
As for an A Button up attack while in the air, a spin up attack while using his ring (not his fist) to propel the enemy a little higher in the air with the moderate amount of damage for this type of attack.
B Button (while pressing up and in air)
A wind bullet shot up from his ring. Nothing fancy, yet nothing too boring.
A Button (while pressing right or left in the air)
A straight leg kick out to the side. No height is added if hit, but can throw out multiple kicks.
B Button (while pressing right or left in the air)
wind bullet shot in the direction which he is facing. Equal damage to the B mash up.
B Button (while pressing down in the air)
A wind bullet burst. Unlike the wind bullet, this trails down at a decent rate and explodes when it is hit on either an opponant or the ground. If the enemy is directly below Klonoa when he initiates the attack, bursts instantly.
Ground B Attacks
Most of Klonoa's B Attacks will consist of him using his special weapons. That is, his light sword, pick axe, and Magic ring.
B Button (while on the ground and facing straight [right or left])
A wind bullet blast, which temporarly pulls the enemy into his wind bubble (like Kirby's suction attack). When that are in his Ring, he walks rather slow, and can throw them a short distance. If they are thrown into a wall, the blast does a good deal on damage.
B Button up (not smash)
A swipe upward with his light sword.
B Button down (while crouching [not smash])
Swipes toward whichever way he is facing with his light sword.
B Button Smash (while on the ground and facing straight [right or left])
This is a Combo smash. Press B,B,B,B to intiate the full combo.
It begins with the first B with him swiping his energy sword from the ground up.
The second B makes him come from his first swipe to a slash uppercut.
Third B causes him to spin once, causing him to be temporarly vaulnerable. If hit, he must redo the combo.
Forth B, if spin is successful, will cause him to do a powerful straight Jab with his light sword, often knocking his opponants back with force and damage.
B Button down (smash)
Klonoa hovers for a second while he spins his light sword under him.
B Button up (smash)
Klonoa rebound attack. After a double jump, aims down with his ring, bursts a wind bullet that propels him upwards. During this attack, he yells his trademark, "Wahoo!".
A Button Combo (while on the ground and facing straight [right or left])
This is a combo attack. Press A,A,A,A to initiate the full combo.
The first A is a side Jab with the left arm.
Second A is a side Jab with the right arm.
Third A would be an elbow from either of his arms.
Forth A would be palm-push forward.
A button up (no smash)
Basically the same movement as his upwards attack in the air with A.
A button down (no smash)
A trip-spin with his right or left leg.
A button smash (while on the ground and facing straight [right or left])
Klonoa sends a full-force straight punch forward. May not be an exceptionally impressive A smash, but a very effective one, as it often knocks the enemies off their feet.
A button down (smash)
Does a sort of one spin windmill (kicks his legs each way)
A button up (smash)
A double fisted upper punch, often sails enemies high.
SPECIAL (In the case there is one)
Most likely his infamous wind bullet tornado. Although I am not sure how it would work exactly, the tornado would pick enemies off the ground and deal them heavy damage before either throwing them back into the ground or who knows elsewhere.
Throws
Throw Forward
He throws out a wind bullet and traps them. The throw forward would be just like in the game, a straight forward hurl.
Throw Backward
Wind Bullet. He brings them to his back and shoulder bashes them in an uppercut fasion.
Throw Down
Wind Bullet. Klonoa Bashes them straight into the game.
Throw up
Wind Bullet. Gets on his back and kicks them straight upward.
Taunt
Wow this would be funny. Klonoa being a giant furball, making fun of an opponant. I suppose a sorta Kirby like taunt with his signature, "Wahoo!"
Life ICON
It would be Klonoa's signature wind bullet ring.
The Loss pose
He would stand in the background either in a slump or wildly clapping.
Guarding
Klonoa would block with both arms covering his face, and when the shield is broken be in a half-hunched daze.
Klonoa would be a rather fit addition to the Super Smash Bros. community through his styles of fighting. While not too insane on the movements and powerful on the attcks, he maintains a level of elegance as well as fierce battle style.
