The year is 2013. The "Super Smash Bros." series never existed...yet.
The Wii U is struggling and Nintendo needs a killer app to bring sales up. A brilliant idea occurs to them. "Why don't we mix all of our characters up into a fighting game? It could be called Nintendo Smash! No, wait, Super Smash Brothers!"
The first game in the series is a Wii U exclusive and has 16 playable characters. Why are some characters in and when are they revealed? Feel free to indulge to put your roster to life. Mine is below...

The year is 2017. Nintendo has announced it's new console/handheld hybrid. Guess what? It is confirmed for launch with the system! There will be 32 characters this time! Why the big jump? Well, it might have to do with Nintendo recently acquiring Capcom...
