Let's take this in a different direction, if you were to make a Smash style brawler bsaed on indie game all stars, who would be your initial 8-12 characters?
Do Sam & Max (from Telltale) count as indie?

I'd go with:

1. Shovel Knight
2. Meat Boy
3. Shantae
4. Dusty (Steamworld Dig)
5. Sam & Max
6. Juan (Guacamelee)
7. Monohime (Muramasa)
8. No. 9 (Mighty No. 9)

Unlockable:
9. Octodad
10. Quote
11. Hat Kid (A Hat In Time)
12. Gatherer (Amnesia: The Dark Descent)

There are many others I can think of if I had more slots. (Obvious ones like CommanderVideo or Slenderman and some not as obvious ones) I feel like it wouldn't be a good indie smash game if the roster didn't have one or two curve balls though.

I think it would be a total pain in the ass trying to get people to agree on fighters for an indie smash. Especially if there were only 8-12 slots.

Personally, Alien Hominid would be kinda awesome to have...
Also, I think you guys should add "Jacket" to all the rosters since Hotline Miami is an awesome game and is pretty popular too.

4500 characters? Imagine the character select screen... they would be small like pixels.
There would be pages of characters you could select from.
What is Aangs Moveset By the way
:GCB:Air Swirl: Aang throws a swirl of wind that travels the whole screen. It does no damage, but traps people in it and can be charged to hold them longer.
:GCL::GCB::GCR:Earth Rock: Aang lifts a rock from the ground and fires it, doing around 18 damage.
:GCU::GCB:Fireflight: Aang flies up using fire. The fire can damage opponents.
:GCDL::GCUL::GCB::GCUR::GCDR:* Water Smack: Aang uses a water whip as an attack.
:GCD::GCB:Airbender Staff: Aang spins his staff to do a bit of damage and reflect projectiles.
Avatar State: Aang enters his Avatar State and flies to the center of the screen, unleashing several elemental attacks for seven seconds.

*Each character has a diagonal special now.

Sam & Max originate from a non-game medium (comic books) if that matters to you, unfortunately. The original Lucasarts game is still one of my all time favorites. I guess my problem with coming up with a roster is that I don't have a solid understanding of the indie scene outside of America or from more than a few years ago.

To support this 4500 character thing here Is a scribblenauts character
Maxwell
B-Weapon slash . Maxwell createates 1 of 3 weapons. they go in this order
Axe-the axe is the most powerful doing 16 damage but low range
Lance- It has the most range but low damage only doing 6 damage
Sword - It is a midpoint between Axe and lance 1/2 of lances range and 10 damage
Side B Ice ray Maxwell pulls out his Ice ray it does 7 damage and freezes a Nearby enemy
Up b Tornado Maxwell creates a tornado that sends him up he can jump back in to do it again and if a foe falls in he or she takes 23 damage and is flown upwards
Diagnal b is Adgective it works Simmilar to monado Arts exept you dont choose it is randomly chosen out of 4 they last for 10 seconds . Fast raises your speed and jump height. Strong raises the power of your attacks . and giant gives you the super shroom affect . Still is a dud making you unable to attack for 10 seconds
Final smash Scribble storm he creates a volcano that spews lava everywhere and 2 t rex appear that are a nerfed version of the ultimate chimera it lasts for 15 seconds but then everything dissapears
Taunts
does the Starite dance complete with music
scribbles in his notebook
Creates a apple takes a bite than it dissapears
Victory poses
Does starite dance
Uses lilys globe to teleport frusterated that he went to the wrong place after he teleports away

I haven't played Hotline Miami, but a character from that game would be on my shortlist for an indie smash.

From "Binding of Isaac?" That kid better stay the **** away from Super Smash Bros, especially since Golden Sun isaac is actually owned by Nintendo and has more going for him than that porn idol.
"Porn idol?"
It's not called "The Bondage of Isaac", Cliff.

Did I seriously type "Miama"? Eck. That's embarrassing. Stupid tablet.
Yeah, it's a really cool and unique game. Jacket could use masks to have different abilities, like Shulk.

So you're making a Smash fangame where there's four thousand five hundred characters?
You do realize that we'll have camps on Jupiter's moons by the time you finish this game?
Not actually making the game, just making the page for it and describing everything that would be in it.
just a question how many characters do you have in so far
210.

In other words, its hypothetical? Its just a general idea of what could be interesting, but its not really going to be created (because that'd be impossible).

Indie Characters in Smash would be really neat, but unless they make a huge break out on Nintendo consoles (and I'm talking gigantic) I can only see them get as far as COMMANDERVIDEO did, an assist trophy if they get SUPER lucky though. I'm far from opposing the idea though, my most wanted character ever is Quote after all.

I guess there's not much to talk about except gasping at straws for potential DLC after Mewtwo.

I guess I could summarize what I would like to see, mixed with what seems "reasonably" likely.

Characters: Impa, Lucas, Wolf, Dixie Kong, Isaac, King K.Rool, Bandana Dee, Captain Toad
Costumes: Young Link for Toon Link, OOT, HW and SS costumes for Impa, several Lords from Fire Emblem as Marth, Lucina and Ike costumes. DK Jr. shirts for both Kongs. Russian Bowser costume to for the lulz
Stages: Bowser's Castle, Venus Lighthouse, Hyrule Field, Gangplank Galleon

Also think we might see more Custom Moves as DLC.

They could use his original form .There he was about :4kirby: sized . If they put the ball on he would be around :4villager: or:4bowserjr: without clown kart. and in his boss form he was smaller than :4dedede: just that wingspan makes him look big
I don't have room for him anyways. Kirby will have 15 characters, and this is who I have:
  1. Kirby
  2. King Dedede
  3. Meta Knight
  4. Daroach
  5. Bonkers
  6. Bugzzy
  7. Adeleine
  8. Mr. Dooter
  9. Knuckle Joe
  10. Galacta Knight
  11. Prince Fluff
  12. Fire Enemies (Flamer, Hot Head, Acchi)
  13. Ice Enemies (Chilly, Pengi, Snowl)
  14. Spark Enemies (Plugg, Bobin, Sparky)
Bandana Waddle Dee will be the last character added.

Lana's pretty freaking anime honestly. She cosplays, she dances, winks and poses like a J-pop idol, has bright blue hair, and she's got that whole genki girl personality. If anyone in Hyrule Warriors embodied anime it would be her.
Anime isn't an adjective.

That makes about as much sense as "Link is really movie," or "Mario embodies book."

That's a pretty reasonable list of DLC characters, probably a bit too many in my opinion, though.

I would love to see a "Wario Land" set of customs for Wario.

Do you see Krystal joining? I've always seen her and :wolf: as strong candidates for DLC. I really think it's Krystal's time to shine

If they're gonna do more DLC, and it's from existing franchises, I'd be surprised if they went higher than 1 per series and Wolf has the edge right now in my opinion

this guy and 3 sets of 3 random enemys but no Marx if we were to get a RTDL guy Magalor would be first
I really just liked his moveset potential. I was considering Magolor, but wasn't sure if I should give him the Master Crown, where all his power would come from. I also wasn't aware that Marx used to be smaller. Looking back, I see that they would've been better choices than Mr. Dooter and the enemy teams.

1 rep per franchise if at all? That would be disappointing... well for Star Fox and Donkey Kong anyway. Why don't you have high expectations?
Anyway I'm just at a point where I can't stand Smash practically ignoring Krystal and *insert under appreciated nintendo franchise here* any longer!

Krystal is a possibility, especially if she is to return in Star Fox Wii U. But I still think Wolf should take priority. I also wouldn't be opposed to Slippy. Space Animal Joke Character, cause why the hell not?

Once Wolf is playable then we can talk about Slippy being playable.

Anime may not technically be an adjective, but it is certainly a colloquial one. The point of language is to communicate, sometimes this is best done with improper words or even sounds.
I think it is pretty clear that he used anime meaning 'anime-esque.' Was that intention really unclear to you or do you just want to make another point, somewhat passive aggressively?

  1. Fire Enemies (Flamer, Hot Head, Acchi)
  2. Ice Enemies (Chilly, Pengi, Snowl).
What the blazes does this mean?

The guy you quoted used anime as a direct object, not an adjective.

"Lana is pretty anime." "Lana is pretty movie." Neither of these make sense.
And I think it is pretty clear that he used anime meaning 'anime-style.' Was that intention really unclear to you or do you just want to make another point, somewhat passive aggressively?
Sarcasm on the internet ladies and gentlemen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Passive aggressive? You seem more upset about it than him. What's with the white knight motif, mate?

Apologies for taking a crack at something in jest.

I see you go to my post before I was done editing eh.
No, you are correct that it is being used as a predicate adjective.

My intent was to find if you were trying to make a point you didn't make; saying something is 'passive aggressive' does not always mean it is someone throwing shade at you.

Well it's the internet, you think I mean something I don't, I think you mean something you don't, etc.

It's all good, no harm no foul.

Am I the only person here now that does not see the appeal of Impa at all?
I mean, she's cool, don't get me wrong, but she doesn't do anything, and everything she does do...kind of makes her Sheik clone material.

Like casting barriers, doing magical orb attacks, swing a huge blade around with extreme agility like it's nothing, use a fire-infused naginata?
