Welcome.

In this thread, you can post your various rosters for Smash For Switch in whatever form they may be.

1. You are only allowed one post in this thread. This post will serve as your showcase. This also means if you change a prediction it will show when you edit. So don't pretend you are Nostradamus after making an edit. I suggest keeping your old rosters in your post so people can see your original predictions and how they change.
2. Rosters can be ideal or prediction based, but they should be indicated as such.
3. Do not discuss other user's rosters. Roster discussion can go in the general thread.

This is my ideal roster, which hasn't changed all that much since the last time I posted it (whenever that was):



I won't bother making a prediction list, since aside from Inklings and most unique veterans, I have no idea what to expect.

For the sake of making it easier to tell who the characters are, I'll list them by series, and explain any choices that might be controversial. Also, Ice Climbers, Wolf, and Snake are back, because ideally, they wouldn't have been cut in the first place.

Mario: Captain Toad
Donkey Kong: Dixie Kong, King K. Rool
Metroid: Ridley
Zelda: Midna
Pokemon: Decidueye (he seems prominent enough, but I've been out of Pokemon for several years and I'm still trying to get through Pokemon Y)
Kirby: (Bandanna) Waddle Dee
Xenoblade: Elma (I haven't gotten the chance to play through Xenoblade Chronicles 2 yet - I'm still working through the original, and November's Switch releases pretty much drained me. Maybe Rex and Pyra would work better; I have no idea)
Joy Mech Fight: Sukapon (I just find it fitting that the main character of Nintendo's first fighting game makes it into their big fighting crossover)
Mysterious Murasame Castle: Takamaru
StarTropics: Mike Jones (I find it odd that the series hasn't even gotten a sticker in Smash Bros. - apparently, it not getting released in Japan has something to do with that, but I think he deserves a chance)
Golden Sun: Isaac
Sin & Punishment: Isa (went with Isa over Saki mainly for the jetpack and possible tag-team gameplay, with Kachi joining in for specials)
Eternal Darkness: Alexandra Roivas (while Pious Augustus is more visually distinct, Alexandra is the main character, and I'm not sure how willing Nintendo would be to have a guy with a human spinal column for a staff interact with Mario)
The Wonderful 101: Wonder Red
Splatoon: Inkling
ARMS: Ribbon Girl (could be replaced with Spring Man; I haven't played ARMS yet for the same reason as Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but both of them seem equally prominent in the marketing)
Rayman: Rayman
DOOM: Doomguy
Shovel Knight: Shovel Knight
No More Heroes: Travis Touchdown (aside from Suda 51 consistently pushing for him, I figure that his luchadore moves and strange Dark Side powers (like turning into a tiger) would make him entertaining and far more than an average swordsman character)

EDIT: August 4, 2018

I'm going to make a prediction for Smash Ultimate's roster, now that we know more information about the game. I'll put it in spoiler tags, since it seems kind of unfair to claim it as my prediction when an overwhelming majority of the roster has already been revealed.


EDIT: November 25th, 2018

If I had to guess the five DLC characters, I'd say (in no particular order)

-Elma (Xenoblade Chronicles X) - the lack of new Xenoblade content in the base game seems weird to me, given how much the franchise has expanded

-Bandanna Waddle Dee (Kirby) - with Ridley, K. Rool, and Dark Samus added, Kirby and Zelda seem the most overdue for new characters, and most of the major options for Zelda were made into assist trophies instead

-Geno (Super Mario RPG) - apparently, his Mii costume is nowhere to be found, and Sakurai has gone on record saying that he's wanted to include him for two games now

-Heihachi (Tekken) - his Mii costume is also nowhere to be found, and unlike fellow fighting game character Akira, there's no sign of him anywhere, even as a spirit. Plus, Namco-Bandai is developing the game

-Banjo (Banjo-Kazooie) - this is something of a long shot, and Rayman or Travis Touchdown could easily take this spot. This is only if the datamining that showed
is true.

I'm working under the assumption that spirits don't confirm anything either way, and I could easily be wrong about all of this, as all of my other attempts at making a roster have shown.

+Re-arranged the roster with the numbers
+Added Geno, Impa, Viridi, Ken and Shadow.

Not much has changed with my roster, but I'll showcase it anyway.

Smash Switch Speculation Roster.png

Blue: Starting Fighter
Red: Unlockable Fighter
Green: Alternate Character Option
Magenta: Final Smash Fighter

Returning Veterans
Wolf and Ice Climbers make a comeback, along with all the fighters from Smash 3DS / Wii U.

Newcomers
Inkling, King K. Rool, and Rayman join the fray. Rayman's inclusion primarily has to do with the fact that he received a trophy cameo in Smash Wii U.

New Alternate Characters
  1. Dry Bowser is an alternate character option for Bowser.
  2. NES Dr. Mario is an alternate character option for Dr. Mario.
  3. Kaptain K. Rool is an alternate character option for King K. Rool.
  4. You can choose between the female Inkling or male Inkling, with the female Inkling being the default palette.
Final Smashes
Ash-Greninja serves as Greninja's new Final Smash. Ash-Greninja has better speed and attack power, along with infinite super armor, but it can still take damage from attacks, and be affected by footstool jumps. Likewise, size changing items can affect Ash-Greninja's size, which can be good or bad, depending on if it picks up a Super Mushroom, or a Poison Mushroom.

Other Notes
  1. The Koopalings are still Bowser Jr.'s alternate character options, but unlike in Smash 3DS / Wii U, Bowser Jr. gains seven recolors of himself, increasing his color slot amount to 15.
  2. Excluding Bowser Jr., all fighters with an alternate character option will receive 16 color slots. Fighters without any alternate character options are still limited to 8 color slots.
5/11/2018 Update

Smash Switch Speculation 2 Roster.png


Key is the same as the one for the previous roster image.

Returning Veterans
Pichu returns alongside Wolf, Ice Climbers, and the whole Smash 3DS / Wii U cast.

Newcomers
Toad, Bandanna Waddle Dee, Buzzwole, Rex, Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, and Crash Bandicoot join the fray.

New Alternate Characters
  • Toadette is an alternate character option for Toad.
  • Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf is an alternate character option for Ganondorf.
  • Pikachu Libre is an alternate character option for Pikachu.
  • Shadow Mewtwo is an alternate character option for Mewtwo.
Final Smashes
  • Ganon becomes a playable Final Smash fighter. He can't use most items, and is unaffected by size-changing items, but most of his attacks would deal 2x more damage than Ganondorf's attacks.
  • Masked Dedede serves as King Dedede's new Final Smash. He can use items, and his attacks deal 1.25x more damage than King Dedede's attacks.
  • Mega Charizard X operates like a standard fighter now, and is able to use items, while keeping its knockback immunity. Attacks deal 1.25x more damage than Charizard's attacks.
Other Notes
  • One of Toad's palettes is the Captain Toad outfit. Likewise, one of Toadette's palettes is her outfit from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.
6/14/2018 Update
Now that we know that every fighter from the first four Smash Bros. installments are coming back, I've made a good amount of adjustments for my newest roster image.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Speculation Roster.png


Confirmed characters are sorted by series, followed by their number value from the Super Smash Bros. website. The Mii Fighters are positioned at the very last slot, due to their unique customization features. Fighters with a magenta border are the echo fighters, and they're placed next to the fighter whom they're mimicking.

Newcomer Speculation
  • Dry Bowser (Bowser's echo fighter)
  • King K. Rool
  • Bandanna Waddle Dee
  • Gardevoir
  • Buzzwole
  • Spring Man
  • Rayman

This is a mix of my deal roster + prediciton roster
I predict that the new characters here get added, but not all of them
construction Roster.png

I used Brittany to represent a Pikmin Character
Poke Ball is a Gen 8 pokémon
Fire Emblem symbol is a character from the upcoming Fire Emblem for switch
Ribbon Girl to represent an ARMS character. I think Ninjara is a high contender

(edited to correct minor errors)
(edit: I totally forgotten toon link omg I will fix this on a later date)

My roster has Mimikyu, Ghirahim, Doc Louis, Isabelle, Dixie Kong, Paper Mario and Mach Rider. I'm expecting a Splatoon and ARMS rep but I'm not interested in them. Ridley is worth an honorable mention.

Nobody getting cut was an easy guess, but man am I upset that I took Y.Link and Pichu off of the original roster I made. Would've been 2 more good calls I'd made.

Crap-Zapper's Smash 5 Roster;

MODS, can someone help me with the photo? Because... I can't do it, and it bothers me, as it appears broken. Here is a link to the photo I want presented.

https://imgur.com/a/K1iHi

This is what I am certain of will happen for Smash 5. Not saying that this would be Smash 5 by 100%, but this is where my gut-feeling tells me is very very predictable and idealistic. I will place some more photos in a Spoiler (so help here as well mod <3) where I will discuss the roster fully. If you'd like to discuss any of it, hit me a PM, write on my page or direct me to the general discussion, so we can all who want to participate.

Star Hill. Why do you ask?
this is my ideal/prediction smash switch roster if its not being made from the ground:

the yellow ones are DLC and the question mark after Rayman is a character that does not exsist yet but would hype up a game similar to Corrin
Pichu and Ninten and Dry Bowser as the last minute clones

There's a lot of really big rosters on here, so I'm hoping my rather small predicted/wanted Smash Switch roster provides some interesting contrast.
I'd rather have a small selection of all-star Switch mascots that are well-designed and well-balanced than a massive selection of characters that are hard to keep track of. Each of these characters' movesets would be updated to fit their most recent appearances, and would feel like they do in their respective games. The general rule of thumb for selection was one per franchise, preferably with a game on the Switch or 3DS or otherwise with an important legacy.

For some reason I couldn't update my version of the program so I used the old version.

My roster is a mix of prediction and personal wishes for a Smash 4 Port on Switch. So it just has all Smash 4 characters with some new ones. (I put a fire emblem icon into corrin's space because the old version of the software doesn't have corrin)


Blue: Smash 4 Characters
Yellow: Smash 4 DLC characters
Green: The New characters included in the port for the Switch. I'll explain each one:

Inkling: basically the new super popular nintendo franchise that everyone wants a representative in smash. Very high chances.
New Pokemon newcomer: I'm guessing it'll be a new pokemon from the 8th gen.
ICs and Wolf: Very popular veteran smash characters that have very high chances of coming back.
Bomberman: More of a personal wish, but he does have some chance considering he had a Switch game at the console's launch.
Rayman: I'm personally not a super big fan of Rayman but considering Nintendo seems to be in a very good relationship with Ubisoft I think it's very possible.
Crash Bandicoot: 100% personal wish

I am pretty nervous about posting here since this is my first time constructing my own roster. Okay, considering the reduction of playable characters from Tekken Tag Tournament going into Tekken 4, I decided to take that same approach with my roster by doing the 30-character-roster challenge. Of course, the original twelve are here to stay as well as at least three veterans each from Melee, Brawl, and Smash 4. Also threw in three newcomers I predict will be in the next Smash. Hope y'all like it, 'cause the decisions on who to omit was a very hard one. Here it is...

Tri-state



Dixie Kong would be a semi-clone of Diddy. Most similar to Fox & Falco. Her moves with have opposite knockback directions as Diddy to keep her unique. K. Rool is added, we need more villains and super heavy weight characters.

Samurai Goroh would have Ganondorf's moveset finally allowing Ganon to have a non-Falcon clone moveset. There are enough swordsmen so Ganon wouldn't always have a sword. He would have a magic projectile a la his electric energy ball in OoT.

Ice Climbers return.

Young Link skins for Toon Link. It is tempting to add a character such as Impa and make her a stronger but slower Sheik. But she's not a big enough part of the series to merit a roster spot.

Dark Samus can stay a Samus skin, no need for more clones. Ridley is the logical choice as Metroid needs another character spot badly. Ridley could play like a faster Charizard.

Dark Pit removed and made back into a skin for Pit as he should be.

Waddle Dee joins the roster. He would play similarly to Kirby but with a little more range.

Krystal joins the Star Fox cast. She would be a fast character but would not have a blaster or any long range projectile or a shine. Her movement would be similar to that of the spacies but her specials would be more unique. Wolf makes his welcome return.

Eevee would join the roster and all of Eevee's evolutions would be costumes (Sylveon is very popular in Japan and all the evolutions would likely appeal to the most amount of people while only taking up one roster slot).

Lucina and Marth become one character with the exact same size and with tipper mechanics. Robin and Corrin stay as the choose male or female characters. No additonal Fire Emblem characters. There are enough swordsmen already.

Wii Fit Trainer is removed (is an assist trophy that uses WFT smash ball move). Olimar splits a slot with Alph and Inkling is added. Inkling would work very similarly to Villager with different skins and both male and female costumes.

Shovel Knight joins the roster. Ms. Pac-Man skins share a slot with Pac-Man. Chun Li is added and uses the advanced inputs Ryu uses. Shadow and Knuckles are Sonic skins and Sonic gets costumes that aren't all blue. Tails is added as he wouldn't be a complete clone of Sonic and would have a much slower run speed but still relatively fast and with great recovery. All Miis would have the same weight and size of hitboxes to keep them the same regardless of the Mii size.

Notable omissions include Pichu, Young Link (it's hard to merit Toon Link and Young Link both having a spot), Cloud, Bayonetta, Duck Hunt, Pokemon Trainer (Squirtle and Ivysaur) and Snake.

My turn.

Here's my updated, post-E3 2018 roster (warning: it's faaaaat):
Changes from the previous versions:
- Toon Zelda and Bomberman have been removed.
- Black Shadow stays and now becomes an Echo to :ultfalcon:.
- Includes a total of 18 newcomers for 5 new Echo fighters.

This roster is a follow-up to my deluxe version of my previous roster, as Ultimate's roster is likely to exceeds it.

January 7th said:
Just like in the previous thread, my roster exists in 3 versions:
- An honest version, which corresponds to what the roster would look like if the next Smash game is a Smash 4 port.
- A standard version, which corresponds to either how my honest roster would look like with DLCs or what it would like if the next Smash is an all-new installment.
- And a deluxe version, which corresponds to either how my standard roster would look like with DLCs or if the next Smash game is very generous in terms of content.

Let's get started with:

This roster and its 3 versions will get updated regularly, and I'll put the older versions under spoiler tags to keep a record.

Alright. My roster is a little...out there. I made with a "soft-reboot" in mind, which I know a majority of people don't like the idea of (myself included). The overall idea of trimming the roster back and spending development time on veterans to potentially make them feel as fresh as the Smash 4 newcomers, all while still providing a decent cast of new fighters. New models, new animations, heavily reworked movesets, etc.

First, here is the roster (Please ignore the not-perfect order and placement. I tried my darn hardest to make it work into this roster shape, but kinda have up near the end...):



BONUS Roster with Third-Parties:


Credit and link for the Rhythm Troupe icon can be found in their respective section of NEWCOMER EXPLANATIONS.

Here are a few restrictions I placed on myself when making it:


I played it fairly safe with the newcomers, adding who I feel are the bigger, more hype bringing characters to help detract from the large number of cuts. Below are explanations for each newcomer. I hope to later add explanations for why I decided to cut and keep who I did, as well as a potential DLC plan. NOTE: I put way too much time into these, so prepare for a hefty read! Additionally, most of these are kinda scattered, as I was mostly writing whatever came into my head. I plan to clean it up in the future.

Here's my personal roster. It shows a bit of bias towards the mother series and kinda shoulders metroid but this is my opinion so whatever.

Mario characters::4mario::4luigi::4peach::4bowser::4bowserjr::4drmario::rosalina: :4wario: ( might as well put wario here) and adding Waluigi and Captain Toad. Toad would finalize the mario roster and captain toad seems to be growing in relevance, and waluigi deserves the upgrade due to moveset potential.

DK characters::4dk::4diddy: and adding K Rool and Dixie. Why not add both? We need more heavyweights and villains, though Dixie is more relevant, so why not add both?

Yoshi::4yoshi: and Yarn Yoshi. The sequel to wooly world on the switch inspired the wierd pick. I feel like Yarn Yoshi could use the actual power ups in Yoshis island and also add a new twist with the yarn balls.

LOZ: :4link::4zelda::4sheik::4ganondorf::4tlink: And add Lana, Botw link, and young link. Lana could represent the whole Warriors franchise since that doesn't look like it's leaving anytime soon. I also think the two new links could expand upon the base of normal link by implementing the sheikhs slate, the masks, and the ancient weapons.

Kirby series::4kirby::4dedede::4metaknight: and Bandana Dee.
Bandana Dee seems to be the new main character in Kirby. Give him his spear and we have a unique fighter.

Fire Emblem and Kid Icarus::4marth::4corrinf::4lucina::4feroy::4robinm::4myfriends::4pit::4palutena::4darkpit:.

Retro characters::4duckhunt::4rob::4gaw::4littlemac::popo: and exite bike. Imagine if we had a character to represent mario kart and other Nintendo racing series, not to mention always stay on his bike. I think that'd be hilarious.

Metroid::4samus::4zss:... sorry Ridley

Mother: :4ness::4lucas: and ninten and porky. Ninten to finish off the trilogy, and I hope they change his recovery too. Porky would be awesome though. He could fight in the spider robot he had at the end of moTher 2. I imagine he'd play like a bulkier and slower Bowser Jr.

Pikmin::4alph::4olimar:. I want alph to be his own character so he can throw rock pikmin and throw winged pikmin, but I could go without him.

Star Fox::4falco::4fox::wolf: and Krystal. So far the star fox characters have all been based on fox's move set. Give us someone new!

F-Zero::4falcon: and black shadow. Give black shadow Ganondorf's moveset and make Ganon canon.

Xenonlade: :4shulk: and Rex. Pyra would be cool too I don't really care. The new Xenoblade is doing pretty well. I think it's time that Xenoblade got a new rep.

Pokemon: :4pikachu::pichumelee: (Pichu back would be hilarious):4jigglypuff::4charizard::4lucario::4greninja::4mewtwo: and decidueye. We don't have a grass or ghost type and pokemon Ultra sun/moon just dropped. He could be replaced by a popular gen 8 pokemon but were not there yet.

Other::4villager::4wiifit:. Add inkling and ribbon girl. The 2 newest Nintendo ips are totally making it in and both of them have a promising moveset.

3rd party: :4sonic::4bayonetta::4cloud::4megaman::4pacman: And bomber man.

The end.

New Characters:
Mario: Daisy, Captain Toad, & Birdo: from past games and have been rumored before/wanted
DK: Dixie & King K. Rool: Been heavily rumored in the past, I love Dixie and she was in Tropical Freeze that did well, so why not add her?
Added Banjo & Kazooie because they were rumored to be DLC for Wii U Smash and how awesome would it be??
Kirby: Waddle Dee because cuteness and would be nice for another beginner character for the kids
Star Fox: Added Wolf because he's an OG fan fave that was deleted from recent Smashes that deserves to be in the game
Pokemon: Added Poliwhirl & Psyduck because they are fan faves from the anime & Poliwhirl just looks like he can be in smash (plus he's one of my favorites)
Pikman: Alph because Pikman needs more representation
Sonic: Tails, Knuckles, & Eggman: How do you have Sonic without these characters? It just feels right to add them in.
Ice Climbers I think it goes without saying we want this iconic duo back, I've secondary mained them in every game they appear it. Love them and their stage in Melee it just doesn't feel like a Smash game without them.
Rayman: Added him because he was one of the biggest rumors
Rabbid: For the fact of Mario Rabbids Kingdom battle's success
Shovel Knight, Wonder Red, Bomberman: Indie faves
Ms. Pac-Man: Wildcard
Ribbon Girl, Springman, & Inkling: New IPs Nintendo needs to market & 2 big games on the Switch that are possible guarantees

POSSIBLE UNLOCKS: Snake, Blazeikan, Master Hand & Ridley since these are all fan faves and bosses people would love to see

MAYBES: Pauline and a Cappy Mario????

so!
it can look like an ideal roster. Well, actually it ended to be that, haha.
But it started as a prediction roster -a very detailed prediction: in fact some of the spots are the results of prediction about things like announcement and release date, announcement and release of other games (in particular for dlc characters) and so on-
This roster is the roster of a game that is half way between a Smash 4 Deluxe and a Smash 5: the engine and the graphics are pretty the same of Smash 4, almost all modes are the same of that version too. But there are enough characters to consider it a new game, moreover some of the old characters receive a rework/some tweaks.
It will be announced in the January direct, will be showed again in april direc, showed for the last time at E3 with the release of a beta, and will be released at middle of September 2018.
tAnother particularity that makes it a little different from a simple deluxe edition is the fact it will contain dlcs (7): they will be released: the first 2 six months after the vanilla game (so march 2019); the 2nd and the 3rd after other 3 months (June) ; the 5th and the 6th after other 3 months (September), and the last one after other 3 months (midde of December or slightly after Christmas).

Let's analyze the image!

-red characters are the unlockable ones: they will never be showed during presentation, aside from a little hint to Mr G&W
-the red fire emblem icon is Corrin
-Link is green because he is reworked: now he is Link from BotW!
-Other reworked characters of the vanilla game are Ganon(dorf?), Mario and Dr Mario: Marios are just slightly different from Sm4sh in term of moveset, in order to accept new moves from Odyssey and to make them even less clonish: Dr Mario is severely buffed
-the simple "newcomer icon" is Springman with Ribbon Girl as alt skin
-Fiora is green because she is a placeholder in order to represent Pyra (yep, not Rex)
-Lucina is a Marth alt skin and Dark Pit a Pit alt skin now, because the reason that bringed to add them in first place now wouldn't have sense anymore: they were added to occupy the last part of development time with 2 cheaps additions. Now there isn't this time, so they would have been added only if planned since the first moment. But clones aren't planned at the first moment, unless you have to make your little roster bigger: this time the roster is just huuuuuge!
-Crash Bandicoot obviously is the star of Smash presentation at E3. Porting of Crash Trilogy for Switch will be announced in a direct between January and April, and released in June. If there will be a new Crash game in development, at E3 Direct will be announced that also that game will be released for Switch


DLCs chapter!
-March: 8th gen pokèmon newcomer; Fire Emblem Switch main character. FE Switch could be already released at the time of SpatSmash release, idk, maybe not in the whole world. The fact is that SpatSmash was at first planned to be released months earlier, but technical and rights issues caused its delay. The FE character wasn't planned at first

-June: Metroid newcomer (MP4 will be released in march 2019) and the useless Waddle Dee join the battle!

-September: Isaac aaaaand... Wolf! an half completely reworked Wolf! this rework is exactly the reason why he wasn't included in the vanilla game

-Christmas 2019: now, don't scare, don't be upset... until some months ago I was one of your team: never and never I could accept a not_generated_from_a_videogame_character. But now I think that for this specific case -only for THIS specific case- it would be a great addition, it will generate an overload of hype and sells. And moreover he is connected to the release of "DragonBall FighterZ: Over9000 edition" for Nintendo Switch (May 2019)

Very ironic that Goku could be the very last character of Smash Hystory...

This is a weird mix of realism/ideal... Some of my most wanted characters aren't here but that's only because I find them unlikely. That said, some of these are leaps of logic, but Sakurai is the kind of bloke who would put some of these rando's in here.



Important notes

Cuts-
Lucina, Doctor Mario, Bayonetta, Toon Link

Returning Characters-
Pokemon Trainer (Reincorporating Charizard), Ice Climbers

New Characters-
Professor E. Gadd (Eclectic af with lots of tools)
Kamek (Distance based character, can teleport and do a short quick broom-dash but runs real slow)
Dixie Kong (NOT a clone)
King K. Rool (Blunderbuss)
Impa (Wielding a Naginata)
Masked Link (Trading between Goron, Zora and Deku, ult is limited time Fierce Deity)
Ribbon Girl (Is just default, all ARMS characters are different costumes)
Rundas (Ice Climbers are great, but we need a REAL Ice-based character and Rundas is great)
FE Switch Character
Slippy Toad (Real turret based, it'd be great)
Isabelle (Basically using all the other AC things that Villager doesn't)
Decidueye
Callie/Marie (Really just a standard Inkling character, but with different costumes between the two of them, Squid Sisters final smash)
Shovel Knight (Pls)
Rex & Pyra (I think Nintendo wants to make Xenoblade a core series, I think X2 is doing so well and these guys are all but assured)
Viridi (Nature based hero sounds amazing plus #sakurai)
Mike Jones (Startropics has gone unnoticed for too long. Kid Icarus that series please)

My wish list / predictions for Smash 5 (not SSB4 Switch) roster.

81 characters total
57 veterans
24 newcomers

Why 24 newcomers? Because of this pattern I made up. :awesome:

SSB 64 had 12 newcomers. 2 x 6 = 12
Melee had 14 newcomers. 2 x 7 = 14

Brawl had 18 newcomers. 3 x 6 = 18
SSB4 had 21 newcomers. 3 x 7 = 21

SSB5 might have 24 newcomers. 4 x 6 = 24

That and because I want more newcomers to play with. :grin:

If this was SSB4 Switch, then my roster would be the same as SSB4 Wii U/3DS plus all the cut characters.
:pichumelee::younglinkmelee::snake::wolf::popo::ivysaur::squirtle:

EDIT

I want to thank Megadoomer Megadoomer for making this roster image based on my roster list. It was an unexpected surprise but I appreciate it!

There's no character icon for Track Meet so he used a retro series icon as a placeholder. There's also no character icon for Wandering Heroes so he used a generic Mii icon as a placeholder.

IMO, if Track Meet gets in, his series icon would probably be a hurdle like the one in the NES box art. And if Wandering Heroes get in, their series icon would likely be the crown just like the Find Mii stage in Smash 3DS.

I made a fantastic "ideal" roster of one hundred characters. I don't necessarily consider these characters plausible or optimal (like Ninten and Kamek). It's just my ideal roster. If you have any comments, please don't complain about what IP a character is or what IPs do and don't have newcomers. I only added the characters that I think would work, with some personal exceptions. So if I don't think there are any Metroid newcomers that would work, that's why there aren't any.

Newcomers: King K. Rool • Dixie Kong • Toad • Rex & Pyra • Decidueye or Gen. 8 Grass Starter • Inkling • Springman • Mallo from Pushmo • Mach Rider • Andross • Breath of the Wild Link • Bomberman • Geno

1. King K. Rool: The kremlin king can switch costumes (king, pirate, baron) and special abilities with Down B. Each persona also changes one Smash move.

2. Dixie Kong: Dixie Kong can slow her descent and increase her aerial horizontal movement by whirling her hair by holding the jump button similar to Peach's hovering ability.

3. Toad: Toad is the Mushroom Kingdom's first speed character. He is fast, light and has small toad-like hops. In order to deal with aerial opponents, Toad has many Mariokart themed specials that act as anti-aerial moves and recovery options.

4. Rex & Pyra: Rex is the main fighter. His team partner Pyra stands on the Z-Axis. Pyra cannot be hit or thrown off the stage. She is slower than Rex, but follows him. She can perform one jump and jumps when he does, but cannot jump off the stage. She attacks towards the screen when Rex performs certain moves. Her attacks can hit dodging or rolling characters. Rex can throw opponents toward Pyra for combo attacks. (Possible unlock: Mythra - She has different stats/abilities than Pyra. Once you select Rex, there are two characters behind him on the select screen. One is a silhouette and the other filled in. You can go back and forth between Pyra and Mythra and select one)

5. Decidueye or Grass Starter: The pokemon newcomer could charge all aerial attacks.

6. Inkling

7. Springman: Springman can press A after most attacks to attack again with his other arm. At the character select screen, three elemental ARMS can be chosen. One for each hand. You can pick the same ARM.

8. Mallo from Pushmo: Mallo is a sumo-wrestler. He can summon and push blocks (and push players) to control the ring.

9. Mach Rider: Mach Rider is a warrior from a post-apocalyptic world. Mach Rider wears fragmented armor on their body and can contort limbs to form a vehicle/s.

10. Andross: Andross, the villain from StarFox, appears with his body before he defied natural law and morphed into a planet-sized head. Andross is a scientist that experiments with space and quantum physics. He can generate grids that can form into metallic rectangles. He wears two giant armored gloves complete with rocket boosters for fueled up punches.

11. Breath of the Wild Link: BotW Link starts with a Moblin Club. After enough successful hits, his club shatters and he fights with an improved weapon. Magnesis allows him to wrangle an underground treasure chest back and forth. This is an attack that pops enemies up with the mound of earth rolls under them, but it also fishes out a chest that breaks and reveals an enchanted sword. This is Link's best weapon if he can retrieve it. Weapons reset w/ lost stock. Link can mount the Lord of the Mountain as a recovery (and fire off arrows while doing so) and also use his side special, stamina wheel, to run faster, scale walls, and paraglide.

12. Bomberman: Bomberman uses a variety of bombs to solve his problems. Down B plucks out a large bomb he can log-roll on. He can also jump off and climb back on board. Enough damage to the giant bomb results in a giant explosion.

13. Geno: Geno from Mario RPG finally enters the fray.

• Mii Fighters are reworked. All Mii fighters have a standard moveset. Specials can be changed by picking different arms, legs, bodies and miscellaneous gear. Certain sets can be introduced like: Pokemon Trainer and Labo Suit.

- Cut characters: Roy, Lucas, Dr. Mario, Toon Link, Cloud, Bayonetta
- Returning characters: Ice Climbers
- Dark Pit and Lucina are costumes.

Tag-team moves are introduced. Custom moves only exists for Mii's. Shield tiers for blocking exist to balance fighters further. Cut characters have a chance to return as DL.

- Scorpion, Rayman, and Belmont are possible DL 3rd-party characters.
- Ribbon Girl is a possible DLC. FE rep is a possible DL character.

* This roster is a prediction roster soaked in personal bias.

This is what I think will get in if there’s a hypothetical expanded Smash 4 port because no way they add nothing else aside from Smash 3DS & Wii U contents. So there’s bound to be some additional characters.

1. Ice Climbers
2. Wolf
3. Inklings
4. Spring Man
5. Chorus Men
6. Bomberman

All adds up to an additional sixty-four character. This number is perfect for marketing purpose because it gives the impression of a much bigger expansion than it really is and it appeals to N64 nostalgia. They should do this before they have to reboot the franchise.

I don't really mind as long is there are a decent variety of char. added, except for the fact that I REALLY want King Boo.
Adding Wolf, Ice Climbers, and Snake back wouldn't hurt either.

If the engine is very similar to 4's then I think most veterans will stay. The only characters I think are probably gonna go are Ryu and Cloud simply because they had a lot less content in the game than the other third party characters possibly hinting at a stricter deal. As for the roster itself, here are my predictions.
