I had to bump this because of all the random roster threads that could easily fit in here.

Myyyy ultimate final roster!! >: (

1. Mario
2. Pikachu
3. Link
4. Samus
5. C. Falcon
6. DK
7. Yoshi
8. Samus/ZSS
9. Luigi
10. Jigglypuff
11. Kirby
(All the 12 original smashers minus Ness. I think Lucas replaces him nicely.)

12. Ice Climbers
13. Peach
14. Bowser
15. Zelda/Sheik
16. Ganondorf
17. Mewtwo
18. Mr. G&W
(I think Ganondorf will be the only returning clone from Melee, with a new moveset of course. I see no reason why Sakurai would take out Mewtwo or Mr. G&W; they're unique movesets, I would want them in for the sake of variety.)

19. Sonic
20. Snake
21. Meta-Knight
22. King Dedede
23. Diddy Kong
24. Lucas
25. Pit
26. Pokemon Trainer
27. Wario
28. Ike
(Obviously, all the confirmed Brawl newcomers.)

29. Megaman - with Mario and Megaman's efforts combined, platforming bliss existed on the NES and SNES for many years. Both the Megaman and Megaman X series were launched on Nintendo systems, to great critical success. Megaman is an extremely important part of Nintendo's history, and his absolutely HUGE history of moves would make for a very unique moveset.
30. Geno - yeah, that's right! I'm hoping Sakurai can appease everyone and put both Geno and Megaman in Brawl. According to the poll, a lot of people want him, and anything Sakurai said is obviously subject to change. It might not be very realistic, but here's hoping they both get in.

31. Captain Olimar - I really freakin' hope this little guy gets in. Great new franchise launched by Nintendo on the Gamecube, Olimar himself might not have a truckload of character but he would be very unique, and I would love to see this franchise get a little representation.
32. Animal Crossing MC - I don't even play Animal Crossing, but I think it'd just be fun to have him there, especially after seeing the AC stage with the goofy characters in the background. AC seems like a fun, lighthearted series, and whether the Famitsu interview is real or fake, it would be fun to have an awkward little guy running around with a net and pole and stuff. XD

34. Banjo-Kazooie - A series that debuted on the N64, I love these guys. They would be really comical and fun to have in Brawl, 3rd party status be ****ed. This is *MY* final roster and I want them in. XD What I want more than anything else is more new characters from new franchises, even if the Icon Theory doesn't support that. They would be great fun to have in there.
35. Elite Beat Agents - Just because. How awesome would it be to have a character who's attacks are based around dance moves? If you've never played the games, I reeaaally suggest you do - seeing them kick butt in Brawl with effortless dance moves would be hilarious. XD If they can save the world with music, they can fight with it in the arena!

Aaaaand other than that I don't really care, whatever. Everybody seems to want:
36. King K. Rool
37. Krystal
38. Takamaru
39. Ridley
40. Lucario

And I don't have a problem with any of those. I don't long for them to be in Brawl but whatever, they'd be neat additions.

And just to add this in at the end, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, Bomberman, Kamek, all the other ridiculous characters people think are going ot get in... I really hope not. All I ask for is unique, PROMINENT, IMPORTANT, STAR characters, preferrably from new, fresh franchises. Diversity, character and uniqueness are key to me. Tadaaa, there's my roster. :D

1. Mega Man was pretty much deconfirmed with the podcast...

2. Banjo-Kazooie was pretty much confirmed (to be impossible) by Rare's sale...

3. I'd rather see Barbara Bat than the Agents.

22-Meta-Knight
23-King Dedede
(all confirmed)

24-Mr. Game and Watch
26-Mewtwo
27-Captain Falcon
28-Jigglypuff (i hated that jigglypuff was in the game back when i played the original, but there is no way out now)
29-Ganondorf
30-Luigi
31-Marth
(returning characters with unique movesets)

31-Sheik
(a new seperate character from zelda, to allow for sheik fans to play with out the swap)

32-King K. Rool
33-Krystal
34-Ridley
35-Captain Olimar
(popular characters that seem simple and amazing)

36-Geno
(in my mind the obvious choice for the last 3rd party slot)

37-Most likely a strange character like a Mii or an Animal Crosser
(don't get me wrong i love animal crossing, and think the confirmed stage and items are neat, but i just cannot imagine battling with a shovel and fishing rod)

38-Pokemon Trainer II
(cool idea i saw on another page, could be the girl trainer, and include the starting pokemon from a one of the more recent games, or maybe the original eevee evolutions?)

My Fav. Hopefuls

39-Bomberman
40-Banjo/Kazooie in pack
(unrealistic, yet truly interesting and perfect for smash)

-some characters could be replaced with Falco, Megaman, Bowser Jr, Lucario (would replace PT II), and Midna but I don' t think there will be more then fourty characters.

And that is my list, like it or not.

Meta Knight
King Dedede
Pokemon Trainer

Peach
Bowser

Syatos:

1. Do you need to waste two spaces with Samus?

2. Include Young Link.

3. Sheik doesn't warrant being separate.

4. You can't imagine a character fighting with a shovel, but you can imagine a character fighting with bacon, a trampoline, and a bucket?

5. Not even touching Geno.

6. I don't think we need a separate trainer, but if we do, making them Water/Grass/Fire would be boring, and the Eeveelutions would be too similar to Squirtle/Ivysaur/Charizard (Hell, it may not have a grass type, but it has an electric type).

7. Banjo-Kazooie is literally impossible.

Luigi player:

1. Meh. Too small and missing too many.

Teh Cadanzilla:

1. Waaay too few veterans to newcomers. You need Marth, Young Link, and Mewtwo (and I see WW Link as a Newcomer, but he should be labelled an "overhauled veteran").

2. Zamus is a waste of a spot.

3. Not touching Isaac.

4. Mega Man has been deconfirmed (and I have been vindicated for when I told everyone that Mega Man was not in before the podcast even took place)

5. Lloyd has barely any chance.

6. Kamek is too minor to include.

7. Hasn't Sothe been confirmed to not be playable?

Uchiha.Sanosuke

1. Need Bowser Jr.

2. Combine Zelda and Sheik, add another Zelda character.

3. Need Lucario.

4. Combine Samus and Zamus.

5. Add King K. Rool.

6. Mega Man is very unlikely.

7. You barely added any new characters. What about Takamaru, Muddy Mole, Ray MK, a DS rep, Will (Advance Wars), Lip, Animal Crosser, etc.?

my roster is by moveset so, i think there would be 46 original movesets in the game. Or if you want it simply there will be 42 character selection boxes.

to explain the crazy picks:

Chibi-Robo: I think this guy may be the wtf character of the game. His games are recent and popular, and i made a moveset: http://smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=2618484&postcount=1898

so there it is.

Well, there's no point in adding the confirmed characters, so I'll add all of the unannounce characters. I'm going to add Sheik as a separate spot because they've done so with Zamus. They are ordered by who I think deserves to be in the most.

Veterans:
24. Luigi
25. Captain Falcon
26. Ganondorf
27. Game and Watch (not because I want him, but because he's likely)
28. Jigglypuff
29. Marth
30. Falco
31. Mewtwo
32. Sheik (I actually love Sheik, but I think the others deserve the spot more, not to mention she doesn't even have her own slot)

Newcomers:
33. Krystal
34. Isaac (this is partly biased, but I really think he's made for smash)
35. Zelda character (Preferably NOT young/toon Link)
36. Captain Olimar (I don't really want him in, but he seems likely and he's deserving)
37. Ridley
38. Mario Character (either Geno or Bowser Jr., though I'd prefer Geno)
39. Claus
40. Lucario or some Pokemon trainer rival character ie Giovanni
41. Fire Emblem character
42. Ray 01
43. Third party

Also, I don't expect to see all of these characters. This is just what I think should happen whilst remaining realistic. I expect at least one of those veterans aren't returning...It's probably Mewtwo, unfortunately...I kind of believe that rumor.

3) Bowser (*)
4) Luigi
5) Geno or Bowser jr.


6) Link (*)
7) Zelda (*) / Shiek
8) Ganondorf
9) Midna&Wolflink or Cel-Shading Link


10) Kirby (*)
11) Meta Knight (*)
12) King Dedede (*)
13) Rick or another Kirby character


14) Pikachu (*)
15) PT (*)
16) Jigglypuff
17) Mewtwo


18) Samus (*) / Zamus (*)
19) Ridley


20) Fox (*)
21) Falco
22) Krystal


23) Ike (*)
24) Marth
25) Micaiah


26) Donkey Kong (*)
27) Diddy Kong (*)
28) K.Rool


29) Yoshi (*)

30) Wario (*)

31) Lucas (*)
32) Claus


33) Captain Falcon

34) Captain Olimar
35) Isaac
36) Animal Crosser

37) Ice Climber (*)
38) Pit (*)
39) Lip
40) Mr. G&W



41) Snake (*)
42) Sonic (*)
43) Sora (I know he is a horrible choice >_>)


=> 43 chars on select screen, 47 movesets.
I know the number is too high. hmm....

@ 4th Kirby character:
There are a few reasons, why I believe Sakurai will put in four Kirby characters.

Why preferably not WW Link? I prefer good characters.
Lol. Honestly, it's just because I'd rather not have another version of a character we already have. I'd rather have Midna, or somebody else before WW Link. Granted, I wouldn't be angry if he was in, especially if Midna was also in.

1. WW Link warrants inclusion - he's the most common version of Link in the series' history.

2. Remember, people - you're not exempt from critique just because you say "this isn't what I expect, it's what I want". It's called ARGUE your final roster. People are allowed to respond to your lists and critique.

True. He actually does deserve it more, to be honest. That's pretty much why I didn't specify a character. He's probably the most likely, just not my most wanted, which is why I specified my preference in parenthesis.

Edit: But then again, I could argue that Midna has a greater potential to be a unique character. Young link would probably share moves with standard Link, whereas Midna would have moves unlike any other character. And then, there is Midna's little secret at the end of the game. That could easily be a final smash.

Well, here we go.

Mario series
1- Mario
2- Peach
3- Bowser

4-Luigi
Important, popular, unique moveset and one of the Original 12.

5-Bowser Jr.
Easily, the most deserving Mario character right now. He could have a very unique moveset and (maybe) a transformation into Shadow Mario.

6- Geno
Amazingly popular, this doll could have a powerful moveset and adds a WTF Mario character to the roster.


Donkey Kong series
7-Donkey Kong
8-Diddy Kong

9-King K. Rool
The classic DK antagonist needs some representation. K. Rool was almost as important as Bowser in the SNES era. K. Rool should be with the greatest videogame characters again.


The Legend of Zelda series
10-Link
11-Zelda-Sheik
I'm against Sheik, but she has a unique moveset and a lot of fans. Sheik should be back... but as a bottom tier. *Evil laugh*

12-Ganondorf
Ganondorf+TP style+Sword+Magic+OoT Ganon as Smash Final=Epic Win

13-Young Link
Wind Waker was an excellent game, so I hope Young Link's return with a new moveset and his Cell-Shaded style.

14-Vaati
Sorry, Midna fans; but I'd prefer to see Vaati. Although, I only put him because Zelda needs a newcomer, and Vaati seems to be the better choice for me.


Metroid series
15-Samus-Zero Suit Samus

16- Ridley
My most awaited newcomer, Ridley needs to be in. Potential moveset, popularity and importance. Ridley for Brawl!

Dark Samus
I'd love to see Dark Samus as the third Metroid rep. But she's pretty unlikely. :(


Starfox series
17-Fox

18-Falco
He needs a new moveset, but Falco is cool and must retun.

19-Krystal
I hate her. I'd love to see Wolf kicking her *** and becoming the third Star Fox rep. But she's a shoe-in. At least, she'll be my sandbag.


Pokémon series
20-Pikachu
21-Pokémon Trainer

22-Jigglypuff
Original moveset, and one of the Original 12.

23-Mewtwo
My main in Melee and my favourite Pokémon character. Mewtwo needs a huge buff, and maybe a new special move. But he should return. Please. :(

24-Lucario
I hate this too. But we need a non-1st gen pokémon, and Lucario seems quite popular. But I'd prefer Deoxys. :urg:


Kirby series
25-Kirby
26-Meta Knight
27-King Dedede


Fire Emblem series
28-Ike

29-Marth
The first and most recurring lord must come back.

30-Micaiah
I'd love to see Black Knight in Brawl, but she's far more likely. Sigurd is cool, but Micaiah is more unique. So, Micaiah for Brawl.


Mother series
31-Lucas

32-Claus
Ness was my main in 64 and I used him a lot in Melee. But Claus is way better than him, and much more unique.


Other series/Retro
33-Pit
34-Ice Climbers
35-Yoshi
36-Wario

37-Captain Falcon
Show me your moves!

38-Mr. Game & Watch
The most original character in Melee should come back. He has an unique and fun moveset and he's a gaming icon. 'Nuff said

39-Captain Olimar
It's impossible to hate him. He'll be in.

40-Isaac
Golden Sun is an extremely good RPG. Isaac has a sword, but magic powers too. He's also quite popular. Isaac should be in; we need new series.


Third-party
41-Snake
42-Sonic

43-Megaman or Bomberman
Megaman is popular, and he's still has a little chance. Bomberman is also popular. I put them here because they could be in, but I don't support them.

44 & 45-Unexpected and WTF character
Another third-party character? Takamaru? Sukapon? Ray? Black Shadow? Kamek? Surprise us, Sakurai. :)

By the way, I'm counting transformations and multiple movesets (PKMN Trainer) as multiple characters.

15. Pokemon Trainer (Charizard)
16. Pokemon Trainer (Ivysaur)

41. Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
42. Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog)


This list makes a gran total of 40 Selectable Characters, with 45 different movesets. I know it's a bit of a stretch, and that some characters are more deserving, but this is what my list looks like at the moment. Think of it more as a wishlist instead.

My roster


Alrighty then....

Mario Series:
-Mario
-Peach
-Luigi
-Geno or Bowser Jr. (I would prefer Geno)
-Bowser

Comments: I really think that 5 mario reps is enough. 6 is possible, and i would (most would) prefer it myself, but the character amount isn't like 50, so i decided to cut to either Geno or BJ as newcomer. Luigi is pretty obvious.

Zelda series:
-Link
-Zelda
-Ganondorf
-Vaati, Midna or WW Link

Comments: I can't think of more than 6 possible characters. And the most appealing to me is Vaati. he is a villain, and brawl needs more of 'em. Midna has only starred in 1 game. WW Link doesn't appeal to me very much. But he has chances as much as Vaati. I think Midna would be a great AT.

Yoshi series:
Yoshi

Comments: Yoshi series isn't big enough as its own series, so I think Kamek has lovely chances as an AT or Boss in SSE. Sorry Kamek-fans

Metroid series:
-Samus
-ZSS
-Ridley

Comments: Out of Dark Samus and Ridley, I chose Ridley. Because he has been in WAY more games, and Samus has a personal grudge against him. Tho Dark Samus also has pretty good char, because imo Metroid deserves 3 reps (I really don't count ZSS as a rep). So Either Ridley only, or Ds with him.

Wario series:
-Wario

Comments: No Ashley. Just because she has her theme in the game, doesn't mean shes a char. Good AT material perhaps.

DK series:
-DK
-Diddy
-K.Rool

Comments: K.Rool has pretty good chances as a char. He is heavyweight, and is a bad guy. Brawl needs both. Now that we have 2 kings already, the third would one would be awesome also =)

Kirby series:
-Kirby
-Meta Knight
-King Dedede

No comments really. Sakurai added the most remarkable chars already. Nice.

Fire-Emblem series:
-Marth
-Ike
-Micaiah

Comments: Marth is pretty reasonable. He is the main char in the first FE, and some others also. Ike is confirmed, and Micaiah is female char, that Brawl needs, so i don't see a reason not adding her, as Lyn is an AT.
No Black Knight. Sorry ppl. Imo, he would be too much like Ike in weight and jumping etc. Tho, he would have a cool moveset. Boss for SSE perhaps
NOTE: I don't know much about FE-series, so this is my opinion.

Pokemon series:
-Pikachu
-Pokemon Trainer
-Mewtwo
-Jigglypuff
-Lucario

Comments: Mewtwo is pretty reasonable. He is a'' bad guy'' and Brawl need them (again). Lucario would also be a great addition, because of his popularity and fighting style. Jiggs is pretty much confirmed, as he was in the 2 previous installments.
So we would have 5 pokemon reps. Sounds good to me

Retro-chars:
-Ice Climbers
-G&W

Comments: No Sukapon. Sakurai has shown a ''dislike''for him, so i don't see him coming. Takamaru is Japan only and starred in one game. Chances are pretty tiny imo.

Starfox-series:
-Fox
-Falco
-Krystal
-(Wolf)

Comments: Falco is the luigi for starfox. Krystal is a female and important to the series.
Wolf would be a great addition imo. They could make him a very different moveset from Fox's one. But they could also make him an AT or Boss (perhaps unlockable one?). IDK

Other series':
-C.Falcon
-Pit
-Olimar 37
-Lucas
-Isaac

Comments: No Lip, no black shadow... I don't see them coming. Olimar is the only one that is pretty remarkable.

And last, but far from least...

3rd party:
-Sonic
-Snake
-Bomberman

Comments: Megaman, is basically deconfirmed already. Bomberman has slight chances.

41 characters in total. Comments?

I think i could live with this.
Please constructive critisims and comments are welcome =

~Super Mario Bros~
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Bowser
Geno

In the past, I supported Bowser Jr. and didn't care at all for Geno. While I'm not a hardcore Geno supporter like others, I prefer him over Bowser Jr. Five reps is really all Mario needs, and if you count Wario and Yoshi we've got 7.

~Legend of Zelda~
Link
Zelda/Shiek
Ganondorf
Midna

My personal opinion is that the Nintendo's biggest franchises ( Pokemon, LoZ, and Mario ) should have 5 reps at the least. I count Zelda and Shiek as two different characters.

~Kirby~
Kirby
Meta Knight
King Dedede

No comment needed, a fourth Kirby rep would be unnecessary.

~Star Fox~
Fox
Krystal
Wolf

I know lots of people hate Wolf, but if Star Fox can have three reps, there's no reason to only get protagonists as long as Wolf is a potential Brawl character. While I don't have anything against him, when you think about it, Falco isn't as important to the series as many people believe.

~Pokemon~
Pikachu
Jigglypuff
Pokemon Trainer
Mewtwo
Lucario

Lucario's inclusion would be a good way to represent what's more recent in the Pokemon franchise.

~Donkey Kong~
Donkey Kong
Diddy Kong
King K. Rool

DK is deserving enough for a third rep. I'm honestly not a fan of K. Rool, but as stated above with Wolf, if a series gets three reps, one of them should be a villain if possible.

~F-Zero~
Captain Falcon

~Wario Ware~
Wario

~Fire Emblem~
Ike
Marth
Micaiah

I know I might sound like a hypocrite for including three protagonists for Fire Emblem, but I honestly don't think Fire Emblem has any potential antagonists. I suppose Black Knight might work, but I still just don't see it happening.

~Metroid~
Samus/ZSS
Ridley

~Yoshi~
Yoshi

~Earthbound~
Lucas

~Third Party~
Sonic
Snake

Two third party characters is all we need.

~Other~
Isaac
Ice Climbers
Pit
Takamaru

Brawler:

1. Bowser Jr. over Geno - Jr. is actually a fixture of the Mario series.

2. Nothing wrong with five Zelda characters.

3. Zamus doesn't need a slot.

4. Put Mona under Wario.

5. Consider Eliwood - he's really the only character left to represent the first English Lords.

6. No new retro characters is bad. What about Mike Jones - very popular character, Muddy Mole, one of Miyamoto's least known characters, or Takamaru, star of a game that Sakurai is a fan of?

7. Why not Lip? She's the star of a well-loved video game franchise. You also forgot Ray MK, an Advance Wars rep, and Animal Crosser.

8. You need a DS rep.

White Lightning:

1. Bowser Jr. is a regular fixture of Mario, and has been the major boss in two of them. People need to understand that.

2. Why? Sheik is a transformation of Zelda. We need a Wind Waker Link to represent a major group of Zelda games.

3. Falco over Wolf if he's in; Falco is more unique.

4. Second Wario rep. please.

5. I'd rather see Eliwood than Micaiah.

6. You forgot an AC and DS rep.

7. Needs more Muddy Mole, Olimar, Lip, Mike Jones, an Advance Wars rep, and Ray MK.

Leviathan:

1. Needs Mona from WarioWare - the series is extremely popular right now.

2. How could you even begin to consider WW Link a downgrade from Young Link? The most common version of Link in the series' history, a ton of potential moveset options, and the current Link.

3. Skull Kid is way outdated.

4. Why was that his chance? He wouldn't have been in if it weren't for clones. He's never had a chance to be different.

5. There's no way Jigglypuff wouldn't get in. Jigglypuff is too popular.

6. Many people would be disappointed w/o Marth - the FE logo is his sword, he's been in two games, is appearing in the next FE game (for the DS), and SSBB-wise, Ike is slow and heavy, Marth is fast and light.

7. Needs Muddy Mole, Mike Jones, and Takamaru.

8. I doubt we'll get any Capcom characters.

9. No. Banjo will not - nay, cannot - get in.

Remember, people - argue your roster, not state it.

Zoda was put into F-Zero by a different developer, and his games were reasonably popular in North America. People and developers still remember StarTropics, and on top of that, we've already seen Zoda's trophy in Brawl.
