this my roster
Mario: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Rosalina.
All these characters are confirmed, but even if Rosalina hadn't been revealed I would still have her.
Mario spin-offs: DK, Diddy, Cranky, Yoshi, Wario.
Cranky has dixie beaten in about every category besides popularity, he's more relevant and has a greater moveset potential.
Zelda: Link, Zelda/Sheik, Ganondorf, Toon Link, Tingle.
Wether you like it or not Tingle is the most likely Zelda newcomer as he's the only character in the series to get his own games, I'm not saying he's the only character who could get in but he is most likely.
Space characters: Zero Suit/Samus, Ridley, Fox, Falco, Wolf.
I don't think Ridley is to big therefore I think he should be playable (is there anyone who thinks that ridley isn't to big but shouldn't be playable?) and Star Fox series is fine and should just make Falco more unique.
Sakurai's pets: Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, Pit, Palutena.
We had the leak, she has good potential and extremely popular, why wouldn't I have Palutena on my list.
FE/EB: Marth, Ike, Robin, Ness, Lucas.
Robin because of magic and hair colour but I wouldn't care that much if chrom got in first. no reason to cut the others either.
Pokemon: Pikachu, Greninja/Braixen/Chespin, Lucario, Blaziken, Jigglypuff.
Kalos Trainer and Blaziken is completely personal preference and what I think would be the best characters. I cut the original trainer to avoid overrepping gen 1 and because the new games need a character and these guys would be the best bet.
also Blaziken is one of the most popular pokemon in eyes of both casual and competitive pokemon players and is most likely to have an important role in the anime.
vet single reps: C. Falcon, Olimar, Ice Climbers, R.O.B., Mr Game & Watch.
do I really need to explain these? no reason to cut Rob.
newcomer single reps: Villager, Little Mac, Shulk, Wii Fit Trainer, Takamaru.
Sorry Isaac, I don't know you well enough and Xenoblade is probably more popular than all your games combined.
Little Mac is an obvious choice afte
r having his series revived with punch out wii.
As stated above Xenoblade was very popular and Shulk would make a good modern ip rep.
Takamaru would be the Retro character like Pit and Ice Climbers, has good potential aswell.
Third party: 8-Bit Man, Sonic, Megaman, Pac Man.
8-Bit Man Would be like the G&W of the 8-bit era, he would also be the new retro WTF character of the game. for an idea of what he would do, go check out the moveset I made for him.
Pac Man seems like an obvious choice because namco's helping with the game and he's nearly as well-known as Mario. I think he has nice potential as well.
I have no idea what to think of snake because sony I've heard wants to put him in psasbr and if that happens I doubt Nintendo will allow sakurai to put him in, and wasn't he put in brawl as a favour and it could take another to make him return???? I don't know so I just left him out.
what do you think? be sure to check out the 8-Bit Man support thread.
