OMG!
Let's get a Kraid/Ridley duo, while we're at it.
Well, that's only if most people don't end up in a panic attack due to the hype.
Tell me something, if Excitebiker was in the game, would you consider them retro? And Awakening has already been repped by stage.
Thanks, man.
Great now all we need is chrom and were honky dorey.
There's the "somehow".
Some people still consider Little Mac to be retro, despite his newest game. So I wouldn't be surprised if the Excitebiker was seen in the same vein. Speaking of Retros, I would like to use either Lip or Mach Rider. Since one could throw puzzle blocks in someones face, and the other is a badass biker.
But we already got a reference to Fire Emblem: Awakening, so his appearance is pointless.
Seems pretty good, although I'd bring back the trainer and replace Ghirahim with Vaati, also props on Robin and keeping Snake.I made a post last night presenting my roster picks, but it was lost in all the PotD/Nintendo Direct hype. You might (rightly) say that I shouldn't have posted at such a busy time, but the reason I worked on a roster and made the post was to pass the time until the Miiverse update.
In any case, I've updated my roster to include Little Mac's official icon, and added Dixie Kong as a Diddy-Dixie tag team (rounding out the roster to 52 playable characters):
Feel free to comment/suggest alterations/etc. But before you do, I'd highly suggest that you first check out my original post in the Roster Display thread, where my comprehensive thoughts behind these choices may be found.
This may not be an original/unique/daring/surprising roster, but it does represent my ideal roster at the present time.
I agree with a lot of this roster, save for a few. But one thing I notice in a majority of this community that i disagree with, respectfully, is the representation perspective on Star fox.I made a post last night presenting my roster picks, but it was lost in all the PotD/Nintendo Direct hype.

His Dempsey Roll gave me flashbacks of Dudley.
It's funny how much things change. Although I still see Mewtwo, Ridley (especially after this Little Mac reveal), King K. Rool, and Isaac are the likeliest from the bunch left.
I was thinking that something as big as awakening should get a bit more recognition Chrom is a pretty good choice for that.
But we already have Marth.
So...
who is actually just Lucina without a mask on.
No, I meant that if you want to play as Chrom, pick Marth or Ike. You're going to get the same results.
I've added unexpected characters BEFORE the random reveals actually. And I've never ruled out Little Mac.
At this point, I see the following as being up to personal preference:
What I did in the construction of my roster was to consider the essential characters. Basically, this equates to Main characters, Secondary cast, and Rivals/Villains.
Little Mac's appearance is pointless. Villager's is pointless. Wii Fit Trainer's is pointless. This whole game is pointless.
Basically looks really good on his feet, pretty terrible in the air. I mean hes a boxer, that's expected, right? The section where he attempts to hit WFT out of the air and dies really illustrates how bad he is in the air and at recovery. A lot of his moves looks like they have either super armor or invincibility frames. Im curious to see what his grabs will be like, maybe he'll have an advantage for racking up damage with "dirty boxing."
Pointless in the context the only reason why Chrom would even be considered is to highlight the success of Fire Emblem: Awakening, which is literally the only thing going for him. But since that's going to be shown with music, stages, stickers, and trophies already, his presence is worthless.
Haha well it's your reasoning and I respect it. Just wanted to make my point known, i'm probably the biggest advocate for her inclusion. But hey, i'm glad I was an unintentional inspirationAt this point, I see the following as being up to personal preference:
-DK Newcomer
-Pokemon Newcomer
-Zelda Newcomer (Less essential than the rest)
-FE Newcomer
-3rd Parties
-A couple of new series (in my case, Xenoblade and Murasame)
Other than the very strong candidates (Palutena, Mewtwo, Takamaru), the above are to me the most probable Newcomers we'll be getting. Hence why we're seeing a lot of minor differences shared across personal rosters, based on preferences and/or perceived merits (Robin over Chrom, Vaati over Ghirahim, this over that, etc.).
As a side note, I find a Zelda Newcomer to be much less probable than the rest, as we already have the central cast, and have the main and toon continuities. If we are to get a new Zelda fighter, I think it would most likely be Tetra, since she would be the second fighter from the Toon continuity; I chose Ghirahim because of preference.
And I did note Vaati's merits in my post in the Display thread. If I had to make a guess, I'd place priorities at Tetra>Ghirahim>Vaati>Tingle>>>>>>>>>Wolf Link/Midna.
What I did in the construction of my roster was to consider the essential characters. Basically, this equates to Main characters, Secondary cast, and Rivals/Villains.
Metroid, DK, FE, KI; these are among the franchises that lack essential characters (e.g. Ridley, K Rool, recent FE character, Palutena). If Smash is about including All-Stars, then there are still missing characters in many Smash series.
For Star Fox, we have Fox (the main star), Falco (prominent secondary character), and Wolf (main rival). I've only played SF64, so perhaps this affected what I perceived as essential SF characters.
I can certainly see the merit of adding Krystal to the cast, given that she's a prominent secondary character in the SF series post-64. The reason I didn't add her was because I perceived other characters to have more urgency than others when it came to inclusion. And since I didn't want to overstuff the roster, no new SF character was added.
Otherwise, I would have totally added more characters, like Krystal, Isaac (Golden Sun), Lip (Panel de Pon), a new F-Zero character (Goroh/Shadow), etc. I think I'll go to my original post in the Display thread and make an amendment as to why these characters didn't make my cut. Thanks for getting me thinking, Joe.
This is just coming off as pretentious at this point. You are not omniscient. The idea isn't doomed to be bland.
Actually, given the choice between Chrom and Roy I think Sakurai would choose Chrom.
Like I said, in this regard the meaning of "pointless" is entirely opinionated. To you, Awakening is sufficiently represented by a stage and trophies but to someone else, a character would be more fitting.
I'd be perfectly fine with Krystal, so long she's distinct enough from the rest of the SF cast.Haha well it's your reasoning and I respect it. Just wanted to make my point known, i'm probably the biggest advocate for her inclusion. But hey, i'm glad I was an unintentional inspiration
I was kinda thinking someone brand new so the new fire emblem fans could have something to relate too, eh I guess not everyone is up for the idea just seems like a good thing to do since Mario and Pokemon are doing it.
Mewtwo is the only one I see without much doubt in my mind getting in out of that group. Besides him, Ridley and to a lesser extent K Rool, and Krystal. The rest are kind of dead in the water to me.
Neither experimenting with rosters nor simply having a roster with someone absent is "ruling them out"Oh haven't you?
Your most recent roster says otherwise.
He's not having a bad attitude. But, I'll save myself the time of calling "irony" as everyone should be given a chance to better themselves. For example I'm just gonna use the ignore button instead of acknowledging flaming from now on. But, you being a moderator I suppose I don't really have a choice.
They won't get in, but to call any list with Rosalina on it "Elites".... no.
