Character Discussion Thread

[Scoliosis Jones]

So even though I was being facetious () about Tom Nook earlier, the idea I thought of made me want him. A lot. Just the idea of him running around with a huge bag of money to attack people sounds hilarious and trollish.

One of his attacks could be throwing down a furniture leaf and having it appear, so the timing might throw people off, similar to the tree growing out of the ground for Villager. Another move could be pushing or pulling the furniture, which could almost set up a trap moveset.

"You'll feel trapped by these great sales!"

Captain Toad could just summon a platform for his USpecial or jumps.
So he basically comes up to you with his magic hovercraft and then punch you with turnips.

That'd be great.

 

[Will]

We're still talking about Toad?

...cool. Imma go back to the social thread.

Still working on my roster. I want to have one ready by the time the next game is announced because I love to jump the gun.

I don't think it will be truly finalized until about 3-4 years from now when the next game's roster is decided, but I'm gonna keep making observations and hopefully make a roster that most people at least see the love in.

Even if it's got way too many variables and is way, way too good to be true.

I looked over the number of added/readded movesets again and both Brawl and Sm4sh actually added 19 each! It's just that three of Sm4sh's movesets are almost the exact same as their donors. I can see them pushing the roster limit again like Brawl, so I guess I'll go up to 15 characters total, 13 newcomers for my roster (adding two characters from my last draft) and continue being optimistic about few cuts. Which is way too optimistic, but I can live with that.

Here.

Dixie and King K. Rool I agree with. However, would Pauline be a third DK rep because I was thinking if they did include her, she would be amazing. She could use the hammer, ladders, barrels, and mini Mario's o:

Yeah, she'd be a third DK. 3 at once might seem a bit much, but we need more than just DKC.

I started choosing her because of her being in the original DK and because I realized she could use those ladders. XD

And she could use her purse, too. Slap someone with that and they gonna have a baaaaaad time. XD

 

[BluePikmin11]

I prefer Jumpman to get in with those moves.
And his mean looking, villainous cartoon design would make him stand-out from other characters.

But we need more characters who are female. So much so, we won't add any more villains. Only women.

"We need more villains! Preferably from DK!"

"OK, here's evil looking Mario please understand"

 

[BluePikmin11]

This design is different (and obviously different from Mario's design that we all recognize.) enough to make him stand-out.

Pauline doesn't seem like the best and strongest representative to represent Classic DK. Jumpman is a better choice to represent Classic DK IMO.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

Definitely-Not-Popeye for Smash?

I'm in!

 

[A Distant Demon]

Pauline, a unique character still in spinoffs>>>>> literally and canonically mario

 

[Reiga]

SSF2 is making me really sad Lloid Irving is not in Smash 4.

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Chibi-Robo is pretty fun to play as in that game, too.

Pauline is scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Here I thought you'd be in full support of Pauline since she appears in a new game that just came out.

I dunno, seems a lot more like an alternate character for Mario, TBH. . .

But that's just me. You can prefer him as whatever. Embarrass

 

[Kenith]

What the ratio of worth for characters/clones here?

If it's 1/3 then can I just have 60 new clones?

[Kenith]

If I seriously got to pick fifteen newcomers for Smash 5 (irrelevant to Smash 4 and I don't think there will even be that many but whatever)

1 - Midna
2 - Captain Toad
3 - Excitebiker
4 - Inkling
5 - Dixie Kong
6 - Ghirahim
7 - Anna
8 - Ganon
9 - Wolf
10 - Snake
11 - Midna
12 - Midna
13 - Midna
14 - Midna
15 - Midna

Clones:

- Impa (to replace Sheik)
- Black Shadow (to inherit Ganondorf's moveset)
- Pichu

I don't really want 15 characters so I just replaced all the empty slots with the character I want the most.

 

[Frostwraith]

Ugh... More Jumpman nonsense...

Still a better choice than Jumpman (who's already in the game, anyway).

For a DK newcomer, either Dixie Kong or K. Rool will do, though I'd expect Dixie Kong first. Especially considering she was planned for Brawl and has more recent appearances.

Well a lot of veteran franchises for Smash were shafted this game, as we got plenty of new miscellaneous characters, two new FE, two new Mario, two new KI, and Greninja. So, why not give us two more DK characters, since this franchise deserves it.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

But we need more characters who are female. So much so, we won't add any more villains. Only women.

There's only two women who fit the female/villain category


Captain Syrup and Medusa

We will likely only get one, but the way everyone goes on about it there would probably be the least flames towards a new game if it got three.

Either that, or I could laugh at how fast they backtrack about that sort of bias.

 

[Kenith]

Very sarcastic.

This doesn't help!

Do you even viridi bro?

Isn't she more of an anti-hero?
Although I would admittedly prefer Viridi to Medusa.

 

[JamesDNaux]

Remember when we wanted characters because of the characters and not because they fit some random criteria?


Yeah.

I was being sarcastic with my original post. I think the next game should try to prioritize villains as Smash 4 provided an ample amount of female contenders.

 

[Kenith]

Nope, not at all.
"Uniqueness, female, villain, recent" It's always been this way.

Whenever I see this now, mariotehplumber always comes to mind, maybe its because this is his twitter profile pic.

 

[Arcadenik]

Jumpman would be a worse choice than Dark Pit. At least Dark Pit is a different person. Jumpman is literally Mario... at least Dr. Mario wore different clothes to differentiate himself from Mario.

If we need to have a character to represent the Donkey Kong arcade and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, I'd rather have Pauline. She could use Mini toys and her accessories (purse, umbrella, etc.)

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

As long as these characters get in I'm good

Spoiler

Also Ice Climbers and Takamaru pls.

 

[A Distant Demon]

1. Viridi
2. Ridley
