neat,i'll join c:

just wondering how the layout of the character sheet should be c:

@Kitten Chan, well, some have already joined and done a character style here #smashcolors so you could do something like that? There really isn't a specific way to do this. I'm kinda trying to keep the rules to a minimum. But the main ones are just be considerate to each other, and make sure your fighters are based on you, your persona, main OC, or other OCs, and the OCs not being Pokemon Trainers, Undertale OCs, Sonic OCs, etc.

I was planning to join tbh XD

This is amazing and I can't wait to draw myself as a Colors Smash character >w<

ok thanks c:

i'll start on mines then x3

Cool

I will join?

Hmmm, sounds like fun!

re: ok, awesome! thanks!!

If #heca Is a Colos original group, and bares nothing to some anime or something, sure go ahead

Unfortunately, I cannot allow #febi or #aquateam to be allow because what moves would everyone have? Throw a pokeball? And then we'd have a bunch of FE reps just like in real Smash xD

I might figure something to allow certain OCs but for now, FEBI and Aquateam OCs cannot be eligable fighters

Sounds cool I might join!
Well...that's if my shyness dosen't act up... Again :/

Ooo sounds pretty cool Gills!

Anyone is allowed to join really. I'd have my own "canon roster" with my friends and those I like, but everyone can basically merge into their own smash versions if they wish. Just so long as the rules are followed

Ok so I don't have any "original" ocs that I'd actually like use. XD
Hm... I do have a human version that I made of one of my ocs though. (The moveset will be original, I swear) Is that ok?

i might join

maaaybe

I'm so in!
One problem- the weapon I'm planing on using is a paintbrush/inkbrush, would that be alright? I'm worried it's too similar to the Splatoon weapon.

EVERYONE

EVERYONE

EVERYONE

I scraped the rules and made it like 80 percent less restricting. Please read the new version on this post.

I really want to come up with an awesome moveset for this, but it's hard coming up with ideas for myself. -u-" So far I've got tai chi and a katana as options, however, those would probably lead to some less creative attacks. :/

Ah well. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing what other people come up with! : )

Okay so I'm almost finished with mine... I just need to color it in

ill join but oh X,D i will think some attacks and movements i think X,d

So you've made this public. What prompted this?
And...originality is no longer required?! What happened to "I meant for SmashColors to have original characters from the Colors community?" What happened to your vision?
Gills, did they...
break through you?

@Jon, I broke myself. Since #Aquateam, I've made up rules to make things "uniform" and it has ended in stress. It has made members feel less creative and gives me a headache with having to make sure everyone is following the rules. Instead, everybody can do as they wish and I will instead have this created to INSPIRE artists to make new art with other fellows interested in Smash.

You of course are allowed to go back to being a spartan if you so wish.

I will appreciate creative originality, but I'm not going to give myself a headache to make it so.

And it will have original Colors community cast. What is Colors without Peekatchu? What is Colors without #FEBI? Or #Heca, or #SegiWitchAcademy? Some things have kept this place alive, and that has to be respected too. I want everyone to have fun, not feel like they're in school.

Re: You sure about this man?
I mean, I don't want to turn your creation into a cringe fest

I think Victor S. did something similar to this a long time ago... I actually have a smash moveset for myself way back somewhere in my gallery xD. But I'll gladly remake a new and improved one!

No Gills, by making myself into a spartan, I ended up trying to turn this into Halo when it shouldn't have been, and you helped me to realize that. I made what was considered a mistake back then, and I don't intend to take advantage of your generosity now and make it again on purpose.
I get it, you want people to be creative and all, but in doing that, you must understand that, when allowing "total creative freedom" there will be those people that will take advantage of you and end up creating something totally deplorable. And because of that freedom, you will have no way of combating it, thus will end up having to deal with a problem for the rest of the time that can never be fixed.
I know rules can be a headache not only for those that must abide by them, but also for those that have to enforce them, but rules do help.

Now I know that this is your thing, so I'm not going to try and push my opinion on you, but as a friend, I will express my concerns. Ultimately, the decision is up to you; you can lay down some basic rules and help structure this a little more, or you can let creative freedom reign and hope everyone respects your opinion and views.
I shant go on much longer, so I will end on this:
Don't let the crowd shape your ideals. Passive/malleable may be fun for the creator, but it's poison to the audience. Do what you know best suits your morals and follow your heart.

Also, about the examples you provided, they have one thing in common: they all have sets of rules.
For F.E.B.I., you can make a character, but you must choose a class for that character that exists within the world of Fire Emblem and give them abilities that are appropriate for that class. Even then, there are still classes that are unallowed despite the fact that they exist because they are considered either unfair or overpowered. Things like that have kept it from crashing and getting out-of-control.
Even Peekatchu has rules! Peekatchu is one of those lovable, family-friendly cartoon characters that gets himself into silly situations all the time. As such, there are a lot of things that he can do, but many other things that he can't; because he's family-friendly, he can't go around acting like PewDiePie or Smosh, casually throwing vulgar language around and making se.x jokes, as that goes directly against what he stands for.

Witzke even got to the point where he's had to remove dares and ask people not to put up certain kinds of dares not only because they go against the rules of his characters, but also because they go against his morals! These things keep Peekatchu's name one that sparks child-like joy in the hearts of those that see him getting into another silly little mess that usually ends on a comical note.
Rules like these have helped to make these things what they are, and I encourage you to at least lay down some ground rules to avoid turning this into something that you don't quite agree with and are no longer proud of.

Again, the choice is up to you; I just wanted to voice my opinion in the matter, as I do care about you and I want to make sure that you are aware of what can happen and that you will be content if it does.

This seems like an interesting idea. o3o

Re: thanks for your input on where I should start with Fire Emblem. I may play Awakening first since, as you said, it has simpler mechanics which is good for newcomers.

Oh, you've changed the rules and added some things that deal with the problems I brought up.
Thank you, Gills. This shows me that you not only read my comments, but you also listened to my concerns and found valid issues to tackle within them. That means a lot to me, especially since it makes me feel like I helped, just like how you helped me all those times by offering good tips on making my art look better!
Thanks again for listening (and not getting mad at me because I brought up some issues)! I appreciate it a lot!

I want to make this fun without having rules comparable to Fort Knox xD I appreciate the help with making this fair AND fun for everyone. I hope these rules will suffice, cuz I'd like to keep it as simple as possible here xD And I too value the feedback and concerns that help make this better, and I'm very glad to have positive feedback for the actions I have made.

I am glad I wrote the original rule set, cuz now it's just way better I think for everyone, including myself xD

You know, I'd prefer if you'd leave a comment directly on my pic instead of commenting about me on someone else's pic.
Yeah, to me, this kind of thing falls under the category of "letting the crowd form it," which I don't think is a good idea, but I suppose I can't really do much about it, especially considering both admins support it and I technically have no power in this. Well anyway, have a nice rest of your day and good luck with Smash Colors!

Hey Gills, are you upset with me? Between Smash Colors and getting into trouble in F.E.B.I., I feel like I've been a bother to you lately. Please be honest; if I made you upset in any way, I want to make it up to you. So please let me know if I'm a bother and if I can make it up to you, because I don't want to be a pain for anyone, especially you, the guy who constantly helping me to not only become a better artist, but also a better person.

Re to a re:
Hm, I guess you're right. I do dislike this game of shipping, but I'll let you guys play it and not interfere. Actually, I think I'm just going to stick around for the RPs now and ignore the main tag, as the RPs are what I like most, and I'm not into shipping anything.

And sorry about the Internet commenting again. 3DS difficulties.

I'll try
