1. Mr. Game & Watch 2. Ice Climbers 3. ROB Game & Watch is a must, Ice Climbers are a pretty valuable gameplay hook to keep around. ROB is just great. I’d love to see any of these three return. I have no interest in Crash and I don’t especially care for Bayonetta. So this choice was an easy...

You're probably spot on regarding the information we have available, although I'm kinda curious who people think are likely beyond the datamining. Jason and Agent Smith went mostly undisclosed, at least. And I'm sure certain characters have been generally scrubbed from the game or not ready to...

My reactions, I think I've typed this out at some point before but it's always pretty fun to reminisce about. :ultinkling::ultridley::ultsimon::ultkrool::ultisabelle::ultincineroar: :ultpiranha::ultjoker::ulthero::ultbanjokazooie::ult_terry::ultbyleth...

Job 24: Lyn (Fire Emblem) So I realize that Lyn is someone who could very well be their own fully original character, and that it may be disappointing to see her without say... a bow and arrow, outside of maybe a Final Smash or something. But keep in mind that Brawl's definition of semiclone...

I’m somewhere in the middle on this. I personally think he looks fine. Punch-Out Wii is heavily stylized and his Smash design is still recognizable while easing him into this artstyle. Never struck me as an issue. His moveset is a mixed bag. Obviously, on paper, the KO meter is a good...

Ultimately I’m content with Little Mac representing Punch-Out on his own, because if we frame Smash as its own boxers circuit then every other character becomes the wacky opponent that Mac needs to overcome the odds against. I don’t think another new character would particularly ruin that...

Okay, so if Doc Louis was going to be playable he has to at least have a really drawn out move / taunt where he takes out a chocolate bar. At that point he’s either going to eat it and regain slight health, or you can interrupt it at the expense of Doc receiving a Revenge-esque buff to his next...

I've been imagining it as something similar to what Diddy and Dixie may have been, kind of a happy medium between a duo like the Ice Climbers and a stance change mechanic like Pyra and Mythra where both are always on stage but tag in to be the leader. Pearl takes the lead when aiming to deal in...

I love Doc, he's genuinely one of my favorite Nintendo characters, but I don't particularly want to be playable. He's a fantastic mentor for Mac and if anything I just wish they emphasized his presence a bit more. Have him shout out words of encouragement from the sidelines, give him a short...

I don't think Rosalina is in that much danger, but I think it's over-valuing her a bit to put her on the same level as Xenoblade's first protagonist and Metroid's most recurring and iconic villain. She is ultimately a secondary addition to the Mario cast and has settled into more of a...

I think so too, although given how this topic has went down in the pass I try to emphasize the characters' additional merits in case someone isn't convinced. Unfortunately discussions of representation and diversity are prone to circular arguments that I was trying to avoid. People seeing...

1. Isaac - Another notable new IP put out between Melee and Brawl. They were kinda going nuts pumping those out! It would be unfortunate if we made the same mistake as IRL Brawl and neglected several of the most promising ones, only to never make it into Smash past that. If Nintendo...

The fact that Bayonetta is the only female third party character is a little bit glaring, to be honest. It makes me pretty confident that moving forward we'll see someone obvious like Chun-Li or explore a fraction of the multitude of other female protagonists across the grid. I know I'm...

I don't think they would sell the character or IP to Nintendo, but the only reason I brought it up was for the aforementioned Xenoblade crossover. Personally I doubt that KOS-MOS is especially likely but perhaps those ties to a firmly established series in Smash would make it more appealing...
