THE iDOLM@STER for SSB4

[Bro]

(Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong sub-section, and you thought iM@S was confirmed for SSB4!  )

So, I hope I'm not the only one who's indulged in some fantasies of an iDOLM@STER crossover in a fighting game! Maybe a stand-alone game as well, but I couldn't pass up the "Haruka trip chance" joke.

Not to mention, Namco is helping Nintendo with SSB4, so everything nothing is out of the questionnn~

Here's a brief discussion I shared with a friend about the possibilities of Hibiki for SSB4:
(I'm Ich sa mein Bruder sterben, and he's Waifu=Layton.)

Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Hibiki for SSB4, Y/N
Waifu=Layton: uhh attack?
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Basically? A Lucario clone.
Waifu=Layton: ew
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Even replace Lucario with Hibiki.
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: But change the aura-fist thingies to be Hamzuo-aura.
Waifu=Layton: no she needs dedede's attack set
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: That'd be great
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: But then we can't have a Hamzuo aura.
Waifu=Layton: except instead of gordos and waddle dees/doos her animals
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Perfecttttt
Waifu=Layton: AND THE SHE HAS A BIG GAY DANCE
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: And her smash-
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: READ MY MIND
Waifu=Layton: C:
Waifu=Layton: except what could replace the hammer?
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: The hammer works fine. I think.
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Why can't she have a hammer
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Like
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: It doesn't make sense
Waifu=Layton: i think it should be chihaya with just a serious face
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: But it's not like it doesn't work or anything.
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Dude.
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: It should be
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: board-Chihaya
Waifu=Layton:
Waifu=Layton: chihaya= OP
Waifu=Layton: pls nerf
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: How....
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Dedede's Down-B. How do.
Waifu=Layton: what one is that/
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Does a giant mechanized thruster come out of this thin plank of wood that is also Chihaya
Waifu=Layton: it would be replaced with a yoshi egg roll but way more stable caus then she gets the hibicycle
Waifu=Layton: that seems like a good cover up.
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: I think
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: Yoshi Egg Roll was a side B
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: But
Ich sah mein Bruder sterben: YES
(Eh, anyone know how to make a box instead of this black tape stuff?)

I cannot be the only one sold on a Hibicycle replacement for Yoshi's side-B. Also other silly jokes.

What do you think, seriously and joking? Smash attacks? Yukiho's shovel as an item? Discuss.

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw that Namco was working on SSB4 with Nintendo, but I knew it wouldn't work. iM@S doesn't fit into Smash Bros. The only other character in Smash Bros that lives in a "realistic" world is Snake, but he has his actual weapons to fight with. iM@S characters would just look ridiculous and out of place. They could work as trophies or stickers, maybe.

[CynicalServant]

It doesn't seem like it could work. They'd probably show up as trophies and stickers. I'd love to see Makoto as an assist trophy, though.

Now that I think about it, I would love to see Mugen Gattai Kisaragi as an assist trophy. That would make my day/year/life.

It's hard to say. iDOLM@STER's hasn't appeared on a Nintendo console, and didn't they say something about dropping third-party characters? I'd assume that stretched to trophies and stickers as well. Cool as it would be.

Try the code tag? Is that what you're asking?

There were iM@S games on the DS. Also, the amount of Namco characters and franchises in the new games is unconfirmed. It could be 0, it could be a lot.

Ahhh, right!
Then we'll have to see! Still, a sticker would be very underwhelming... Let's hope for an assisty trophy! (1% chance Yukiho shows up instead of Resetti and shrieks, covering up the screen just like Resetti. Then, apologizes profusely. Covering up the screen.)

Yayoi High Touch Assist Trophy *shot for unimaginative reply*

If ever iMAS does get represented in SSB4, it may most likely go to one of the DS characters, since they did star on a Nintendo console. Anything other than that could mean that there maybe another, maybe main game in Nintendo's future. We may never know, but I'd like to see where this is going.

I would love to see Makoto or Takane kick butt. Though I'd see them in their own fighting games. iDOLM@STER: Stage 4 Battle (S4B). lol

Since Namco is helping, I'm pretty sure we would see Tales characters, like Emil or Yuri. But yea, they don't want too many third-party characters.

And the DS cast will come back on a Nintendo system. Preferably the Wii U.

My reaction to OP

I hope that's good??

[Saturos]

I didn't say it wasn't.

My thought is that Namco Bandai will eventually make their own Smash Bros clone, seeing as how they have two fighting game franchises and half-a-dozen RPG franchises already under their belt to make a game out of (Namco X Capcom, anyone?) There would be an IM@S stage where the idols sing in the background and you're randomly attacked by Puchis. Makoto would be a shoe-in as a playable character, and maybe they could use some creative licensing and have Iori mimic other characters voiced by Kugimiya (Oh, how I'd just LOVE to use Mizore Shirayuki's ice powers! You hear me, Namco Bandai! Make sure Mizore is in Project Versus J!).
