How many Newcomers?

[moneyfrenzy]

Okay so how many newcomers do you think we will get. We already have 3. I apologize if this thread has already been made.

 

[Reznor]

depends on how many characters get cut so hard to tell I guess 6 more maybe

 

[BluePikmin11]

12 to 21 depending on if there's cuts for a few characters.

 

[MasterOfKnees]

My guess is 8 minimum, 12 maximum. Depends on how many character that are cut.

 

[FalKoopa]

I think 8 - 15 newcomers.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

42.

No more. No less.

In actuality. Probably like 10-14 I'd imagine.

 

[Dark Phazon]

I think 8 - 15 newcomers.

Best bet yh.

 

[HarryTheChin]

Lots.

10char

 

[DragonSniperNintendo]

-The original had 12 characters
-Melee basically had 13-14 more newcomers making it to 25/26 (with no cuts)
-Brawl had like 15 newcomers with about a total of 35-38 (and about 5 cuts from Melee)
-I can see SSB4 having 15-18 newcomers with about 5 cuts from Brawl and a roster total of 45-48 (maybe even 50, not counting transformations though)

not bad but too bad you forgot the report that sakurai had he can't really increase the size too much due to the 3ds version

for me 6-10 and probably 3-6 cuts

He never said that. The 3ds version is not hurting the roster size at ALL. brawl and smash 4 3ds are both on an 8 gigabyte storage, and brawl used up 7 gigabytes including, masterpieces, tons of stickers and trophys, and most importantly subspace emissary, which smash 4 wont have...

 

[Starbound]

10-15 for me.

Haha yeah it used to not bother me at all, but by now you'd think people would know about the 3ds and wii u versions.
And you have an awesome pic to i love shy guy so much.

and i think there will be 18 newcomers. A 48 roster size and cutting 5 characters, not including transformations. ( I know its really really wishful thinking

 

[Dark Phazon]

MOARRR AWSOME PICZ !

 

[Ridley_Prime]

... There's a DK 64 cartridge that isn't yellow? And I have those two plushies.

5 veteran cuts is too many

 

[Dark Phazon]

Ridley needs alotta space to get in.

 

[MargnetMan23]

Personally I'd be fine with cutting newcomer slots due to that even though I'm fully aware that your post probably isn't serious

Lmfao well tbh it is and isnt.

He should get in and he might replace sum1

Who knows!

I'm a bit confused as to why did this post get 6 likes...

People agree with it...? *shrugs* that's around my range too XD

 

[DragonSniperNintendo]

I still think the roster in the end needs to be 45-48.

With 15-18 (in that range) newcomers.

Going by the past 3 games at least.

Brawl had 39 characters...

39 + (15 to 18) = 54 to 57

You should transformations separately.

Well my latest roster is 50, and with transformations/teams I believe it was 56.

Plus there is bound to be cuts.

 

[ToothiestAura]

Brawl Added: Lucario, Pit, Wario, Metaknight, King DeDeDe, ROB, Wolf, Toon Link, Snake, Sonic, Zamus, Ike, Diddy Kong, Lucas, Olimar and Pokemon Trainer. That's 16 characters added.
Brawl Removed: Roy, Mewtwo, Dr. Mario, Pichu and Young Link. That's 5 characters cut.

Overall it had 11 more characters than Melee. Pokemon Trainer can count as 3 characters - if you do that's 19 added or 14 if cuts are taken into account.

14 character were added from SSB to Melee, 15 if you count Sheik.

So, 14 or so seems likely as that's approximately what was added with each sequel. You an give or take a few.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Just dont cut Wario and Diddy then its all good.

 

[FalKoopa]

Anyone who expects them to be cut is an idiot.

 

[moneyfrenzy]

I think at Maximum 5 characters will be cut not including transformations.

 

[ToothiestAura]

I think at Maximum 5 characters will be cut not including transformations.

I'm not really thinking there will be any cuts, unless the whole Ice Climber 3DS situation doesn't pan out.

@DragonSniperNintendo: 15-18 is a pretty good estimate.

Well Sakurai did say that there is not enough time for all characters to be brought back

By all, he also included characters like . Makes sense if you look at it that way.

Ive never thought of it this way, although i dont think anyone would blame him if those 3 clowns didnt get in

 

[jaytalks]

There were 18 newcomers in brawl if you count the starters of PKMN Trainer as different characters. My guess would be twelve or less, since he's said there would be less of focus on new characters and more on bringing out innovation.

I think you can look at not all veterans comment as applying to Melee veterans (Dr. Mario, Roy, Pichu) and any characters he might choose to cut from Brawl.

 

[Dark Phazon]

Above all i think a more intresting question would be do you think they are concentrating on bringing as much vets back as possible or making newcomers?

Its kinda hard to say because first Sakurai said brawl roster was pretty much the limit or maybe a fewww more but then he says hes tryna bring back as much chars as possible...

I mean they will be cuts no doubt anyone thinking every single char from brawl will return is in for a nasty suprised...i see a few chars you could say get replaced.

Like i think they will be 2 or 3 Starfox and Kirby chars max

Fire Emblem could get 3 reps although it seems like marth stays and another char replaces the other one.

I think they Will be about 5 actual additional chars and other newcomers will replace brawl chars.

 

[moneyfrenzy]

I really hope they focus on making newcomers a priority

 

[BluePikmin11]

Yeah Namco Bandai can focus on balancing, while Sakurai can think of the ideas for content like characters and stages.

 

[kiteinthesky]

I'd be surprised if there were more than 10. I honestly think we'll get less than that, and that will be very disappointing.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

I don't forsee more than 3 cuts this time. The Brawl roster in terms of clones and such had fewer issues than the Melee roster.

 

[DragonSniperNintendo]

Especially since WFT would be taking up one of those limited spots.
