Well i got this idea from playing alot of Smash 64 and the classic stages on melee.
My idea for classic characters is basically the same for classic stages:unlockable characters from 64, nearly untouched. So you would unlock the version of your favorite SSB favorites from 64. They would be nearly the same as their 1999 counterpart, only with the staple techniques used in the game now integrated into their movesets(air dodges, sidesteps). They would have the same graphics, same speed, same move %, jump ect. But like the classic stages, these characters would be limited to 4 or 5
-Mario(given)
-Yoshi
-Pikachu
-Kirby
-DK
(I picked these 3 on the basis of their franchises are the biggest and some of the biggest differences from their current counterpart)
These classics could be great to players that liked playing them back in the day, and could give more options to the ones that mani the current forms. But to stop people from exclusivley using these forms(like how Sheik was usually used instead of Zelda), they wouldnt have some things that were changed melee and Brawl;U/D throws, damage during grabs, Yoshi's egg recovery, side B attacks, 64 L-cancel removed, Mario's F.L.U.D.D)
Discuss
(P.S, I wasnt sure if this belonged in the character section or not, so mods please move this if it belongs there)

Yeah I posted something about "EX Characters" as I'm used to call them, no one seems to like the idea here for some reason.

Ugh, I'd say I'm more used to the new moveset and everything.
The thing I hate about playing the original on kailerra is that I'm not used to all of the stuff removed, so I would attempt a side special, and I end up doing the normal one.

Dang. If that happened, which'd be kind of awesome, Kirby and Pikachu were considered Top Tier in the old game. XD I wonder how they'd match up against the new competition.

Those characters are already playable in the game. Changing the way they look wouldn't really add anything to the game.
