Prince Sabure (Kaeru No Tame Ni Kane Wa Naru) Discussion: Part Human, Part Frog, Part Snake, All A Hero!

Another character idea.

This time, it's for the little prince hero who can transform in a frog and a snake: Prince Sabure!

-Appearences:
-Kaeru No Tame Ni Kane Wa Naru (The Frog For Whom The Bell Tolls)
(Game Boy (Japan-only); 1992)

-Data:
The little and young prince of the Sablé Kingdom. As a young prince, he is very naive and easily flattered, characteristics that his friend and rival, the Prince Richard, likes to take advantage to get under his skin. This little hero has the ability of transform in a frog or a snake. One day a messenger arrives from a small neighboring kingdom, warning the princes that the evil King Delarin has invaded the Mille-Feuille Kingdom and captured the beautiful princess Tiramisu. In yet another boastful attempt to best the Sablé Prince, Richard grabs a boat and rushes towards the kingdom. The Sablé Prince is left trying to catch up. While on his journey, he and Richard (along with others) are transformed into frogs in an attempt to reveal the true happenings in this kingdom.

-Why I support him?
I played some of the game and has a curious gameplay, which mixes a typical RPG-like view and a 2D-platforming perspective, and this character is very charismatic. Also, I like too much planning some ideas of Japan-only Nintendo games for any SSB-game. Frankly, he was one of my wished characters for SSB4; however, I had to face the misfortune of seeing him as an Assist Trophy instead a playable character. However, I don't lose the faith of at least seeing him as a playable character in Crusade. His main Ability premise is the fact he can transform in frog or snake for some attacks.

-Special Attacks:
-Neutral Special: En Garde: Prince Sabure charges his sword and jumps forward. If he touches an enemy, he'll trap him/her in a cloud of dust, giving him/her multiple hits (until 7) depending of how much you press the Special Button.

-Side Special: Wasabi: Prince Sabure throws a bit of Wasabi forward and, if it hit's a player, he/she will eat it, for later being stunned.

-Up Special: Frog Tongue Wrap: Prince Sabure transforms in a frog, and jumps higher, depeding of how much you hold the Special Button. If he touches an enemy during his jump, he'll eat him/her with his tongue, for later spitting him/her, getting also an additional short jump.

-Down Special: Snake Venom: Prince Sabure transforms in a snake, and after charging some, he jumps and bites his enemy, damaging and paralyzing him/her.

-Final Smash: Igari Z: Prince Sabure takes out the 'Z-Flute' and play it from above Dr. Knit will come crashing Down in Igari Z, a powerful Mech suit that can deliver massive DMG and send opponents flying. The suit will fire its fists at players this is it's Rocket Punch attack. It will also jump into the air and come crashing down with it's leg extended- this is it's megaton kick! and finally there is the ultra powerful: Galactica Attack! This attack may be uber strong however it is quite easy to doge as the attack is pretty slow; however being hit by this attack from Igari Z, will defiantly deal and instant KO! Also, the Igari Z will play it's own flute and do a healing Dance at this time, Prince Sabure's DMG% will begin to drop back down to 0% at a fair speed. When the Final Smash time is up, Dr. Knit will fly away looking confused as if he has lost control of the machine.



-Entrance To The Stage: A frog wearing a red cape jumps up out of a Well, it jumps up in a puff of smoke, transforming in Prince Sabure.

-Taunt: A bee flies around Sabure, he transforms into a frog quickly, and swallows it restoring 1% DMG, before returning to human form.

-Victory Pose: Kaeru No Tame Ni Kane Wa Naru: Victory Theme.

Nobody ever responded to this? Ok

I can't judge the moveset (I haven't seen much of the game) but some attacks seem like they would play awkwardly.

Ignoring what I just Prince of Sable is my personal choice for a Game Boy rep, I'm not too sure why but he is

Thank you very much for the support, buddy.

If he wasn't Japan-Only, I would say Yes to another Obscure character (I like the Obscure, for they are the most different), but due to that, I can't say whether or not I can. That being said, I am not out-right denying this, mainly because it isn't available in the US, and I am pretty sure there have been characters that are barely heard of in Japan or Europe in Smash (Crusade or otherwise, and I know that Mother/Earthbound were practically unheard of in Europe)

I'll stay to watch, and maybe eventually I can give a proper Yes/No

I love FtFtBT, but Sable doesn't really do much, since the combat is all automated. I'd say maybe make the moveset a bit... sillier, to reflect FtFtBT's self-aware sense of humor? Not supporting yet, but I'll keep an eye on this one.

Remember, it's if you support the character not the moveset

Bad tbh. It's all just sword swinging and some kicks, and the transformations are barely even transformation. He turns into a frog for what? One move? Come on.

Don't really like your moveset, sorry

yeah alright, support the character but not the moveset

i might draft up my own set later, FtFtBT is BURSTING with personality and even though it would have to be heavily sakurai'd there's definitely potential for a fun and memorable character
