The roster isn't decided by who would be the most profitable though, once again, it's supposedly a celebration of nintendo according to Sakurai and yet so many franchises didn't get reps
If it's 'a celebration of Nintendo' according to the person who made the roster that didn't represent these franchises, then you should probably realise it doesn't add up.
Bowser Jr's and Koopaling's popularity outdoes Rosa's by far.
Thanks for twisting my words, I'm just saying that adding female characters is more important as it represents a part of the playerbase rather than villains, adding females is very easily more important
64: Replace
with and spend the time to give a unique moveset, maybe replace 
with Ridley, have take more inspiration from his other games, remove and and replace them with (Having his own moveset that uses and other Pokemon) and , add Isaac, K. Rool, and Sceptile, make a semi clone to compensate for Palutena's removal. Use DLC to add back in veterans and blow peoples minds (Basically what Sakurai's been doing)
If anything Zero Suit Samus is giving Metroid fans a boner.
Or a better design for Ridley.
, in order to solidify him as a mainstay. Add Toad as a semi-clone. as a unique character.
64: I would have
in over because FE was still hot at the time. Would also have in over as the former would have been a retro rep at the time. Both and would be Melee newcomers. are newcomers in this game as I mentioned before. The first thing I would want is for this game to have a late-2002 release instead of a late-2001 given how Sakurai had to kill himself physically to the game done and that the dev time was cut short. Doing that would get andin the game not to mention clones such as would get more dev time to be semi-clones potentially. could have extra dev time to not be a Falcon clone and be his own unique character which Smash Bros fans have really wanted for a long time.and even aren't getting cut. Period. I don't care if the game has to get delayed to the Summer but the cut 5 from Melee are staying in the roster. won't replace and would instead be an alt for the later. Would also add Isaac and Andy in to the game as both GS and AW were hot during Brawl's dev time. To accommodate for the 2, I would cut because is already the retro rep of Smash Bros. If anything, can be added to the following game.for another Nintendo character that deserves to be in the game. Maybe this is whengets to be included in Smash Bros.
Because something that appeals to casual gamers from a absurdly successful franchise isn't deserving. Kay. This is why the 'who would you cut' **** is awful. Every character is deserving of their spot. Even Roy, despite his debut game being SmashExcept for the fact that I would cut
There's also Female Robin, Female Miis, Female Villager and Wendy. You can make a case for Jigglypuff as well.
I'm not asking you to like my opinion. Take a deep breath.
I wouldn't cut anybody. However, If I were Sakurai, I'd make some heavy changes to the roster. Adding more characters and make some changes to current ones.
: Giving this man a unique moveset, he is definitely an important character in the LoZ series and deserves to be represented well. I would keep force choke (Side B) though: Give the Doc a moveset that utilizes the Viruses in his game. uses the Ghosts in his moveset, why not Doc with the viruses? and separate characters from the start.: Give him a moveset revolving around the masks he uses in MM.: Even though I main Sonic, I cant help but feel that his moveset is lazy, 7 of his moves turn him to a ball. I would give Sonic some moves from Sonic Battle., I would make and separate characters from the start.: Alter his moveset a bit. and in the official game.: Believe it or not, Dark Pit can indeed have a totally unique moveset, I never played Uprising but people say Dark Pit had a lot of potential.: Same with , alter her moves a bit. can be in along with Chorus Kids. I would also add a lot more characters. Sceptile, Bandana Dee, Rayman, K.rool, Zoroark, Shadow, Isaac, etc.
How rude
I kind of agree, but i also like the moveset Jr. currently has. I think they should at the very least give him 4/5 pallete swaps of his own and have him use his paintbrush in more than just his final smash. I mean if Little Mac can have 16 alts why can't Jr. have 12/11? Or Wario have 10? ( His two missing ones from his classic outfit in Brawl, the other ones from his WarioWare outfit got merged together so no problem )
I must have hit ignore on the person who asked the question as I didn't see a question. Not to mention it just baffles me how stupid some of the reasoning is. 'wft isn't deserving enough' despite the franchise being one of Nintendo's best selling IP of the last generation is a highlight
and .,,) are some of my favorites conceptually.I was working under the assumption everyone went back in time instead of simply having been in Sakurai's place naturally.
Brawl Pit's side and down specials + Pandora Claws = BOOM! Semi-clone
And not all men play as men just because they're male, equal representation is still important regardless
Honestly, why cut ZSS when we can have all 3? Metroid deserves more.64: Replace
Reasoning: I feel Meowth is the better character to add
Melee: Forget
Reasoning: Having Ganondorf be a fully fledged character is more important to me then adding Sheik, and character variations bug me. I understand Young Link/Toon Link, I agree with Sakurai's reasoning that both generations should be represented, but Dr. Mario feels unneeded. Replace him with Daisy or Wolf or Black Shadow or someone
Brawl: Replace
Reasoning: Ridley>ZSS, Project M Wario is best Wario and I wish the official Smash games would follow suit, and Pokemon really shouldn't be missing its protagonist as a playable character.
4: Remove
Reasoning: Nobody would miss Wii Fit Trainer if he/she had never been added, I'd replace him/her with a character from a new series that people actually wanted (Isaac), K. Rool is overdue and of all characters Rosalina is the easiest for me to justify cutting, Kid Icarus has the same number of games as Earthbound, I'd give them a similar situation with characters. Third slot could have gone to multiple characters, I picked Sceptile over all others because i do believe it's important to have the fire/water/grass trinity in Smash, it's one of the most important parts of the Pokemon games.
Character gender could not be less relevant to a crossover fighting game.
No it's not. Especially if it would sacrifice the overall quality of the game.
If equal representation is that important the male/female ratio would be 50/50
Because Metroid is a game of isolation and exploration (Well, ignoring Other M), past Samus and Ridley no other character really compares. Arguably next in line would be Dark Samus, and even then that's a pretty big drop from Samus and Ridley.
It's only become important recently though, hence why they've clearly made a concious effort to boost the amount of females in the roster
How is adding more female characters "sacrificing the quality of the game"?
Because it's still like less than 1/5th of the roster
Most of the female characters added were popular requests, not to mention your statement is merely speculation of yours. Unless you can grab an article in which Sakurai says this is important
How?
The reason why we have more male's in Smash is because Nintendo simply has a lot more male characters than female characters. Trying to represent both fairly is almost impossible.
Armada mains
There are very few "all-stars" in the first place, the significant ones are all in Smash already.
I'm not saying it should be entirely fair, I'm saying there should be more than what there currently is, there's still a fair few great options for female candidates that have yet to be addedThe reason why we have more male's in Smash is because Nintendo simply has a lot more male characters than female characters. Trying to represent both fairly is almost impossible.
Armada mains
ZeRo mains
Nairo mains
You get the picture.
