Making Gunmen for the Original 12

This blog was made for the

#SilverChariots as a part of the event

#EdgeofDawn

Well, my motivation has come with this one sole idea. Welcome to another episode of the Yoshimario25 show.

So recently, I've been watching a lot of this anime called "Gurren Lagann", currently on episode 18. During my mid blog crisis, I came up with the idea of making gunmen for each of the original 12.

Now what is Gurren Lagann or a gunmen to be exact. Well Gurren Lagann is about a boy named Simon and his friend Kamina, who come to the surface of earth one day after some sh** went down in the first episode.

Essentially, humans were forced down to live underground after these beastmen controlling gunmen come and started to do what Dimitri's famous quote is.

After they came, they decide to take back the surface by declaring war on the beastmen.

Now the gunmen are basically these huge a** mecha robots that they use to do their deeds. But, I've always wondered, what if I was in control of making gunmen for each of the of the original cast? Well that's what I'll be doing. I'll be taking their tools from Ultimate into consideration and I'll make them their own gunmen. And because I am lazy and can't draw a effing gunmen, Ima just say their gunmen looks...like them. I'll just explain how the gunmen works.

Enough talking, let's move out.

I also hate Amino's image limit.

Mario

Mario as we know is our standard balanced character. He doesn't have too many extreme strengths or any considerable weaknesses, those being his lack of range and linear recovery...I said he was balanced...oh that's right he's a top tier in this game again.

Well anyway, Mario in Ultimate itself is an easy choice for a newcomer to pick. He's a heavily combo based character that loves to style on his opponents. He's somebody who loves to get in for most of the time, but it may be hard considering range can be an issue. But he does have the ability to just rush you down and destroy you.

In order to make him move a lot more freely we have to make sure his limbs aren't as clunky and heavy. That way, when he gets a hit he can follow up a lot more.

If we look at his moveset, they carry a good chunk of cameos such as fludd or his cape from Mario World. I would put the cape on the gunmen for convenience, but my experience from watching The Incredibles has told me otherwise.

So Mario will have to pull a switch to pull out the cape that can do all sorts of its jank. He can also pull another switch to pull out a fludd accessory that shoots a powerful hydropump.

Lastly, since fire is the main element that Mario uses in battle, I'll put some burners in the hand area so he can do some fire attacks like fireballs, whatever the hell f-smash is, and his finalsmash.

His main way of battling is beat the sh** outta them with combos and all that stuff, and finish it off with an up-smash, f-smash, or a powerful fire attack. We are going to have to reinforce the weak points so that the thing lasts longer since Mario mains tend to not get satisfied until he does something badass to finish the job. Mostly with a fair spike, so pushing them up with fludd and dunking them is going to be his big finishing tool.

DK

DK, the character that was a high tier but actually never truly was. DK has always been known as a superheavy character. A character that hits hard but also has a lot of designs going against him.

You guys like being in disadvantage for 90% of the match because it's bottom 3?

Me neither, but this is the way it'll have to be. With DK being a big body character that sucks in disadvantage more than living underground, we have to make sure DK's gunmen can take a lot of damage. So adding a little bit of super armour to his gunmen should do the trick.

The fists on his gunmen will be bigger than any of the other gunmen so he can pack a massive punch. It kinda fits well with DK's character, it hurts when he's getting hurt, but he'll do a lot of damage when doing the hurting.

The strongest parts in his body include fists, shoulders, and his chest. I want to make sure he can lift anything that's heavy for the other cast.

The main thing I want him to be careful of is weapons that can pierce through anything. If something like a spear or sword gets through he's screwed. If he's able to get it for himself that's a different story.

Strength really helps so he can can tear other gunmen apart so they could possibly use them for themselves. It also allows him to create a mini earthquake and shake the ground. If all works well he'll get them on the ground and beat the sh** outta them.

That's probably going to be his main source of winning since he can easily beat you just like that if he does. That or he'll get pissed and kill them with two shots. That's how his fighting spirit works.

Link

Our first sword fighter and probably our only sword fighter, at least for this part.

If this blog gets 200 likes I'll do this again but with the Melee characters.

Now with huge a** weapons in a mecha battle, it could be a great thing. You can pierce through the beast and possibly pin it to the ground to throw your billions of projectiles at it. But they also may get it for themselves and...I'm getting flashbacks from a certain episode.

Now to prevent this, there will be some programming to make sure this doesn't happen. Basically, Link is the only one that can wield the master sword, no sh** there. But the reason why is the handles are programmed to read a certain symbol that's on his hands; the triforce.

If the Master Sword is picked up and it matches, you're good to go. If it doesn't match, a shock of electricity will come to their arms, causing them to drop the sword, and unable to use their arm. And no, this isn't something you can absorb, it's something that'll screw the circuit up no matter what.

With his sword, he'll be able to damage you with attacks similar to Breath of the Wild, and can shoot beams using it. I still have no clue why they thought it was a good idea to add that to Smash but whatever.

If it breaks like in BOTW, no need to worry. That sh** repairs itself like in the game. But on the odd occasion that beastly mother trucker does break, Link will be able to use his remote bombs and shoot arrows with his bow. He can actually shoot ice and fire arrows possibly by using contraction on the arrows. Give him the sheika BS as well if you please, no it isn't permanent.

So basically, it's just Link things he'll be doing. A lot, and a lot of Link things.

Samus

A girl in a robot suit controlling a robot in a...robot suit. It's safe to say that this gunmen is just a layer of amour over another layer of armour. I'll explain how that works if we actually get to the Brawl characters.

There's nothing too special, you get the same experience with the smaller product. I guess I could say she may have to refill on missiles to follow the laws of reality. Just put your missiles into a box and insert it into the slot, add a little Size + and you'll be there in no time.

If only I could make the joke with a high image limit.

Samus' down-B as we know is her crunching into a ball and not worrying about her spine; she can do that with her gunmen because she'll have enough space to take in oxygen. It's an overall great movement option.

When in the air however, if she uses that technique and lays horizontally and spins, a powerful gust of wind will make her fall slowly. Then, she can shoot the bombs down from the core centre of the move.

The machine is actually programmed to detect if she's wearing her armour or not. If she is, the systems will detect that and change to Samus form. But if she presses a button on her real set then she'll lose the armour and it'll change into Zero Suit Samus mode. Or as I like to call, Samus, but hotter...and the part of ZSS Nairo is mas-

Act like the there's a technical difficulties sign there.

How will that work? Idfk, maybe you'll know if this post gets to 200 likes so I can make the second part and get 200 likes on that; is that a sneaky way of begging for likes? Not sure, just know she's the type of fighter that likes to stay at a distance.

Dark Samus

Yoshi

Yeah the character that is going to cause Cyrext to become the next leader of WWII . Can't deny that.

Yoshi to me is that one character that is meant to be annoying. People hated him in Smash 4, but he was still a mid tier. Now, they made him a high tier. A heavily combo based character that has some of the best oos options in the game, and a double jump that makes Dictator want to commit harakiri; you all know where this is going.

Team wise, Yoshi's main aim is to toy with his food and make them suffer until they die or his allies are finished with their meal so they can finish the plate.

The heavy armour is activate when Yoshi jumps and flicks a switch that shields him with the armour, making it extremely difficult for him to be hit out of the thing. His shield also acts different since he surrounds himself like Samus does when she's hurting her spine (The rest of the cast's shields act like they do for the game but don't have the same consequences when broken).

How does he stay in the air? Fans, just like Samus'. What if they break? Some dumb gimmick that you'll see in the anime should answer your question; episode 7.

Yoshi is also able to do his Yoshi things because his tool has taken a lot of medication to insure it doesn't get constipated. Somehow, Yoshi can tongue them and trap them in an unbreakable egg he'll crap out. It will break at some point, but it'll take some time. Oh, and yes, Yoshi can use parts and weapons from other enemy gunmen to finish the job egg spam style. Just he also has his own supplies of eggs that come in different packages. Hot or cold? Choose your death.

Kirby

This boi is literally the Simon of the team. For those who don't know, Simon has the ability to take over Gunmen by drilling through them. So with inspiration, Kirby can suck himself onto their heads, and use his drill tongue to copy what they do. This is literally my favourite part about his design.

But without his copy ability, he really lacks the ability to compete with any Gunmen due to his size and strength disadvantage. Thankfully, with the help from his crew, he should be able to deal with them just fine. Maybe I should give him Smash 64 up-tilt to help him in case he's going solo.

Kirby also has the ability to wield certain weapons that he had in his Smash moveset. And because this is Smash Kirby, why not let him also use them when he copies somebody?

Fox

You could say experience will get the best of him, but I never played a Star Fox game so I can't be completely sure that he piloted a mecha robot before. Fox as we know in Smash, is a rushdown character that's powerful in neutral, and garbage in disadvantage. So on the back there will be a certain item that'll help give him the rushdown quality he needs.

We also need to make his body is fireproof so he can use FireFox; can't have that burning down like the wildfires happening in the States.

The armour he has is durable, but he still will be light regardless. It makes it easier for him to move around and really builds up the whole "glass canon" thing that he had for his whole Smash career.

But that's not all, he can turn his mecha robot into his ship that we all know so well. Now he can show what he's done for his life; and make the Landmaster a weapon that he activates to shoot from his arm, genius.

Pikachu

The rat can pilot a Gunmen? Yes indeed he can. Nobody here likes fighting Pikachu, nobody, that character is obnoxious. Oh, might I add that he was already good in oh I don't know, every Smash game.

Pikachu, is of corse going to be our small glass canon that loves to shoot electricity. The thing that inserts on the back that idk what to call it, helps Pikachu travel at light speed with the use of quick attack. It's hard to hit him out of it, but it's possible.

The moves that Pikachu has that combo into itself are able to function due to the electricity making sure they don't fall out of the attacks. His electricity isn't powerful to overflow the circuits immediately, but it does work.

Knowing that Pikachu can either fight close or afar; far might be his best option, since Pikachu isn't built to be strong, look at those arms, they're tiny. Thank gosh we built the inside to match his arm length.

Luigi

Luigi isn't too big of a pussy to not control a Gunmen, so he s his bro and actually stays original.

the thing I made up for Yoshi with the heavy-armour? Well take that but invincibility frames, give it do down-B and boom, you got the one reason Luigi isn't as bad in neutral as I'd expected. I still prefer the old cyclone...make it rise and jank too, yes that's right fu** you, I made it better.

Because Luigi's Mansion is a big thing for him, we'll include his poltergust. There will be two forms, vacuum mode, and plunger mode. Vacuum being used to succ in certain projectiles, and Pluger being used to grab and shoot anything. He can shoot stuff out in Vacuum mode, but the Poltergust needs to be filled with stuff in order to do so.

Let's also not forget Up-B, the definition of a high risk high reward move. Unfortunately he can't deal with projectiles too well when staying offensive, but his defensive habits should make up for it.

[CUBNess

Actually go commit die. I'm surprised people hate Yoshi more than Ness considering the dumber stuff that he has.

Let's just get this over with: PK Fire is still dumb, he resists electricity better than the rest of the 12 besides Pikachu, and PSI magnet is still a great healing tool. He can also grab a bat and do homeruns (most weapons come from the back), and he can play with his Yoyo; the best part of that is putting them in a bondage position and having a hard hitter destroy them, mostly DK.

Inside his back-pack, there is a core that helps give Ness his floatiness. There also is another in his hat which is where all the energy from PSI Magnet goes to. Did I mention it's the Fox Shine in Ultimate?

Captain Falcon

To start this off yes, Captain Falcon can change into the Blue Falcon. Just who the hell do you think he is? Now that I think of it, he kinda is the Kamina of the crew, a showoff that won't back down from a fight.

The Yoko would be Samus because she's the only girl lol; have anything to say Feminists?

Falcon with his amazing speed and strong attacks, it makes him a powerful foe to deal with. The shocking power that comes from the Knee of Justice, and the Ultimate danger from his signature move, the Falcon Punch.

Technically speaking, outside of Kirby, Falcon's gunmen may canonilggicaly, he may be the strongest fighter in the original 12. I say Kirby is the strongest because he can take over anyone he wants, and he's Kirby so you get the deal.

Falcon's ignorance could get the best of him since he's prone to getting comboed a lot and doesn't have the strength unlike DK to always hold of any weapon attacks. But with Kirby by his side, nothing should be impossible if he doesn't want to retreat.

Jigglypuff

We're at the last straw. Jigglypuff is going to be the one character that defines as an "Air Fighter". Since she's. not as good on the ground as other characters; in fact, she may be the worst.

But don't underestimate this puffball, because she has learnt the Hungrybox way of things. Camping in the air, back-air, rest setups, more back-air, and back-air.

She's one of the fastest in the air, making her a fantastic aerial fighter that can put in a lot of damage. Rest being her most devastating. The move does put her...I guess she isn't the only girl...DON'T LET ANY OF THE SJWS ESCAPE HERE ALIVE!

Imagine it's here again

It does put her systems to sleep however, but it's not too bad, she gains a tiny bit of health from it and won't be in there for long. But if she gets hit, not only is she the lightest in the twelve, but her Gunmen may not know how to react considering it got a rude awakening.

This does make her a somewhat high risk, high reward fighter, and makes her a really good choice for the team.

Ending

This is the fighters we know and love controlling Gunmen to help team Gurren take back the surface. I really did enjoy making this blog. If Amino's image limit was high though, I'd add a lot more things like Kirby up-tilt, a size + joke, and an actual image to the feminist joke.

Now when it comes to team leading, I would like to give it to Kirby, but he can't speak. So his supervisor or public speaker would be Falcon, the most bada** member of the original 12. If you did watch the anime, you'd know how good of a speaker Kamina is.

Each of the fighters all serve their own purpose and can only be dominant if they work together. If they were solo I don't know what to tell you.

Lastly, if you want to watch Gurren Lagann, I highly recommend doing so. I'm currently on episode 18 as of writing this, but the episodes I watched so far were amazing; especially if you love action. If you are a dubbed guy then the show is on Netflix so you can watch it there. If you are a subbed guy, it may be on Crunchyroll but I can't promise you that.

Well, this is probably the closest I got to breaking the word limit, thank you for reading, and victory to the #SilverChariots
