    It's so funny when people make a big deal about Captain Toad not being able to jump... Not only do many characters in the Smash roster not jump, but it leads to incredible potential of the character. Having a Pichu-sized heavyweight would make something so new for Smash.

    Having any type of Toad not be in Smash besides being a Neutral Special just never felt right to me. With how long him and his species have been around the Mario gang, even helping out in playable appearances, he just feels like a shoe in especially after a game centered around Toads. I honestly wanted him more than Waluigi.

    • @KonaKonaKaabisteru

      I've become convinced that Toad had long been deemed too boring or lacking as an overall character to warrant place in Smash by Sakurai, at least if going by how he still is a neutral special to Peach since Melee, while Sakurai found more interesting moveset potential from an usually stationary enemy species like Piranha Plant. Maybe he thinks he'd just be copying Mario Bros as seen in NSMB-games or over-relying on items from Mario-series as a basis to moveset, or thinks being a cutesy servant to Peach doesn't fighter, make?
      Anyway, I personally think unless Sakurai gives his role to someone else to helm the series, Toad's never going to be happening... though prolly after such huge ship missed like Ultimate, everything else might as well be kind of a letdown.

    I love this moveset and the turnip special the only change I would give it if Captain Toad is in the air he would do the plucking animation as if we he were on the ground, but will not pluck a turnip. Instead if their happens to be a foe right below Toad, he would grab that foe instead, turning it into a command grab

  • @womblekong9790

    I think for his jump I'd use the tapable blocks that would go up when tapped in 3D World. They just launch him a little bit on his second jump after a Steve style first jump

    • @andymcclurg9916

    Toad is by far and away the most-glaring omission in the entirety of the Smash roster imo. Yeah, he's been in Peach's moveset since Melee, but given how important and iconic he is to the Mario franchise, the fact that he still isn't his own playable character is shocking to me. And while I'm honestly more fond of the "regular" Toad character and would rather see him in Smash, I'd be 100% down for Captain Toad as well. And this was a fantastic moveset for the adventurous mushroom, I'd love to see this be his actual moveset should he actually join next time around.
    I just want a playable Toad in Smash, man...

    The way the Treasure Tracker move works kinda remind me of how the Tension Gauge works in Guilty Gear. For context, it’s your super meter used for supers &/or Roman Cancels, but it goes down if you try to move away from your opponent for too long. It’s interesting to see that concept used in a different context. Regardless, I really did enjoy helping editing the audio for (& now watching) this.
    As for the characters you’re considering, I’m surprised you’re doing Revali before one of the more popular Champions like Urbosa or Mipha. But hey, I’m down to see/hear your idea for him.

    I think it’s absolutely ridiculous Captain toad hasn’t gotten since toad is the most popular Mario character after Mario, luigi, bowser, peach and yoshi and they’ve all been in since melee. He has his own game, an entire moveset ready to go and the perfect alt costume with toadette that would get two Mario reps in the roster without using a full character or echo slot. Mario deserves another rep as the roster keeps growing since fire emblem is getting dangerously close and pokemon already exceeds them. I think it’s a safe bet to assume pirahana plant and dr Mario will get cut in the next game if it’s not a port so bringing in captain toad will help offset those losses (even though the loss of doctor Mario wouldn’t matter much). Also we need paper Mario, the only other rendition of a main character we need in smash, if we can have Mario in a lab coat, link pre puberty and samus without a suit we can have a paper version of Mario

    I'll be honest. I know some people would rather have a distinct character as their Smash fighter, but I think a regular Toad would be a better choice. I think there's just more potential there and wouldn't be limited to specific features of a distinct Toad. It's why I think Piranha Plant was a better choice than Petey Piranha. Toadette would still be an alt though since she can do everything a Toad can do and more.

    Mario has maybe my favorite additions to Smash because unlike all the other franchises they can go crazy with the movesets and creating quite unique stuff, which other franchise can provide you a plant as playable without being the protagonist of a successful game? If we happen to get more Mario dlc I would like them to keep adding crazy stuff like a toad, another enemy liker the koopas, an old boss like dimentio, etc.
    And now that we are on that, another Mario assist trophy that could be a great addition could be the huge Cheep Cheep from Mario World and other 2D Marios, filling the stage with water and eating opponents when in contact with them.

I have seen GameXplain's take on having Captain Kinopio ditch items from his backpack in order to make himself jump, and the more he tosses out, the higher he'll be able to jump, but at the cost of him being really light, and much easier to K.O. early, and while I do think that could work if pulled off right, and I did enjoy that video overall, honestly, I liked your take on the character much better! You really seem to find the perfect balance of representation, and gameplay when it comes to making Smash fighter movesets! :) I can't wait for the next Patreon Challenger Approaching pick video in March!
