Venus of the Desert Bloom · Jan 14, 2023

All the rosters reek of bias.

kylexv · Feb 13, 2023

Resurrecting my account after over a year just to post in this random thread lol.

Although the point of this thread is to fall completely into bias, I'm still going to base my picks on the resources the dev team had at the time (that is, I'm not replacing a clone with a non-clone, etc.).

I'd honestly keep the Original 12 exactly the same, so:

1. Mario
2. DK
3. Link
4. Samus
5. Yoshi
6. Kirby
7. Fox
8. Pikachu
9. Luigi
10. Ness
11. Captain Falcon
12. Jigglypuff

Not many changes here:
13. Peach
14. Bowser
15. King Dedede (replacing Icies)
16. Sheik
17. Zelda
18. Dr. Mario
19. Pichu
20. Falco
21. Marth
22. Young Link
23. Ganondorf
24. Mewtwo
25. Roy
26. Mr. Game and Watch

Here is where we get into some more substantial changes:
27. Meta Knight
28. Pit
29. Zero Suit Samus
30. Wario
31. Snake
32. Ike
33. Charizard (solo, Squirtle and Ivysaur are cut)
34. Diddy Kong
35. Lucas
36. Sonic
37. Olimar
38. Ridley
39. Isaac
40. Lucario
41. R.O.B.
42. Toon Link
43. Wolf

The only changes here from the original Brawl roster are the following:

Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Ice Climbers are cut
Mewtwo, Ridley, and Isaac are added

To be continued...maybe

ssbashworld · Feb 14, 2023

EDIT - 3/7/23, cleaned up with roster maker

EDIT - 5/24/23, added direct links to roster images since imgur images arent showing on the post.

Red = Unlockable
Luigi & Gooey are echoes

https://imgur.io/wPetsuJ?r

Red = Unlockables
Mach Rider has an Excitebiker skin
Foreman Spike, Wolf, Black Shadow, Mach Rider, Pichu, & Celica join Luigi & Gooey as Echoes
Slippy & ROB 64 are like Ice Climbers
Goron & Zora Link are like Zelda/Sheik

https://imgur.io/nBfVH08?r

Rare buyout did not happen till a couple months after Melee hit its finally territory. HM to Conker who was excluded since bad fur day probably released too close to Melee to be included.

Red = Unlockable
Green = Replacement for cut Rare Chatacters
Mii Team is like a tag team Pokemon Trainer
No new echoes
Sonic & Crash are unlockable but revealed before launch like 3rd parties were in Brawl.

https://imgur.io/Gv17ASl

Red = Unlockable in both versions
Yellow = Unlockable in 3DS version only
Everyone listed after random icon is DLC.

Slippy & ROB 64 & Mii Team are either reworked or exclusive to the Wii U edition. I dont agree woth completely scrapping a fighter due to 3DS limitations.

No new echoes in base roster (although they are split off in there own row now) but the top row of DLC are all echoes instead of adding veterans since all are here except Rare.

https://i.imgur.io/TROlcmz.jpg

Everyone is here (Rare is back)
Everyone after Tora is DLC except the Miis

Starting roster is

& DJ KK

New Echoes are Veronica, Dark Samus, Tails, Coco, Hocotate President, & Octoling

Kasumi Alpha / Alpha 152 are like Pyra / Mythra
Rash & Billy Lee (with Pimple & Jimmy Lee Alt) are another duo fighter like Ice Climbers or Slippy & ROB 64

Tora & Lora are the main Xenoblade reps, Poppi, Jin, & Haze will be in background like Pokemon Trainer and occasionally interact with special attacks, taunts, etc.

https://i.imgur.io/YuIzzrk.jpg

StrangeKitten · Feb 28, 2023

Tails replaces Piranha Plant. Shadow replaces Byleth. Geno replaces Steve. Eggman replaces Kazuya,

Snorlax, Meowth, Eevee + evolutions (transforming character), Zoroark (Hisuian as echo), Okidogi, Meowscarada, Grovyle, Decidueye, Primarina, Gyarados, Ampharos, Scizor, Heracross, Shuckle, Ariados, Ho-oh, Lugia (Shadow Lugia as an echo), Blaziken, Koraidon, Hawlucha, Ursaluna, Nidoking, Clodsire, Donphan, Tyranitar (Iron Thorns as an echo), Lycanroc-midnight, Cloyster, Articuno, Weavile, Crobat, Toxtricity, Shadow Mewtwo as an echo of Mewtwo, Mew, Gengar, Mimikyu, Typhlosion (Hisuian as an echo), Skeledrige, Roaring Moon, Garchomp, Flygon, Dragonite, Empoleon, Corvinknight, Excadrill, Aggron, Obstagoon, Houndoom, Gardevoir, Grimmsnarl, and Alcremie are all added as playable fighters.

~~How many here put my boi in just because of being in the OG 8?~~

Decided to take quite the different approach with mine this time, as it primarily takes into account characters that were considered / scrapped, with hints of self-indulgence. (Italics bolded denotes unlockable characters)

It shouls also be noted that in this hypothetical AU:

Budget, technical limitations and time constraints are not an issue
Each game (with the exception of Smash for 3DS / Wii U, because duh) would start out as arcade release before being ported to consoles.

Mario	Donkey Kong	Link	Samus	Yoshi	Kirby	Fox	Pikachu
*Luigi*	Bowser	Marth	Mewtwo	King Dedede	Ness	Captain Falcon	*Meowth*

1P Game Rivalries

Mario vs. Luigi (no surprise here) on Peach’s Castle
Donkey Kong vs. Bowser (Mario's earliest foes) on Kongo Jungle
Link vs. Marth (swordsmen of legend) on Hyrule Castle
Samus vs. Mewtwo (the latter of which loosely resembles an alien) on Planet Zebes
Yoshi vs. King Dedede (big eaters) on Super Happy Tree
Kirby vs. Ness (the former of which is a space traveler) on Dream Land
Fox vs. Captain Falcon (pilots with animal motifs) on Sector Z
Pikachu vs. Meowth (again, no surprise here) on Saffron City

Unlock matches

Luigi: Clear 1P Game as Mario without losing a life
Bowser: Clear 1P Game as DK without losing a life
Marth: Clear 1P Game as Link without losing a life
Mewtwo: Clear 1P Game as Samus without losing a life
King Dedede: Clear 1P Game as Yoshi without losing a life
Ness: Clear 1P Game as Kirby without losing a life
Captain Falcon: Clear 1P Game as Fox without losing a life
Meowth: Clear 1P Game as Pikachu without losing a life

*Luigi*	Mario	Donkey Kong	Link	Samus	Yoshi	*Wario*
*Diddy Kong*	Kirby	Fox	Pikachu	Bowser	Ness	*Ganondorf*
King Dedede	Captain Falcon	Peach	Zelda / Sheik	Scizor	Ice Climbers	*Falco*
Meowth	Mewtwo	Ayumi Tachibana	*Marth*	*Roy*	*Mr. Game & Watch*	RANDOM

Mario	Donkey Kong	Link	Samus / Zero Suit Samus	Kirby	Fox	Pikachu	Marth	*Mr. Game & Watch*
*Luigi*	Diddy Kong	Zelda / Sheik	Pit	King Dedede	*Falco*	Pokémon Trainer*	Ike	*DeMille*
Bowser	Yoshi	*Ganondorf*	Ice Climbers	Meta Knight	Wolf	*Lucario*	Ness	Snake
Peach	Wario	*Tetra*	*R.O.B.*	Olimar	*Captain Falcon*	*Meowth*	Lucas	*Sonic*

*Team now consists of Totodile, Grovyle & Charizard

(Orange denotes 3DS exclusives, blue denotes Wii U exclusives; unlockable characters in the 3DS version are characters who hadn't been properly revealed before the Wii U version comes out, meaning those characters will be a starter in the Wii U version)

3DS version

Mario	Luigi	Bowser	Peach	Rosalina & Luma	*Bowser Jr.*	Donkey Kong	Diddy Kong
Link	Zelda	Sheik	Ganondorf	Samus	Zero Suit Samus	Yoshi	Kirby
King Dedede	Meta Knight	Fox	*Falco*	Pikachu	*Meowth*	Mewtwo	Scizor
Lucario	Greninja	Marth	Ike	Robin	*Ness*	Captain Falcon	Wario
Mr. Game & Watch	Pit	Palutena	*DeMille*	Villager	Little Mac	*Duck Hunt*	*Takamaru*
	*Dark Pit*	Lucina	Sonic	Mega Man	*PAC-MAN*	Mii Fighters*

Wii U version

Mario	Luigi	Bowser	Peach	Rosalina & Luma	Bowser Jr.	Donkey Kong	Diddy Kong
Link	Zelda	Sheik	Ganondorf	Tetra	Samus	Zero Suit Samus	Yoshi
Kirby	King Dedede	Meta Knight	Fox	Falco	Pikachu	Meowth	Mewtwo

Decided to take quite the different approach with mine this time, as it primarily takes into account characters that were considered / scrapped, with hints of self-indulgence. (Italics bolded denotes unlockable characters)

It shouls also be noted that in this hypothetical AU:

Budget, technical limitations and time constraints are not an issue

Each game (with the exception of Smash for 3DS / Wii U, because duh) would start out as arcade release before being ported to consoles.

If Smash 6 has to be some sort of soft reboot here's my biased roster.

I limited the roster to about 60, roughly the same amount as Smash 4's final roster.
Hot take(?) but I think most of the Smash roster hold up well. Every character is getting some touch ups to an extent. Really everyone should just get a 5th special, a Shield Special specifically. But my focus is adding new faces.
Every previously repped series gets to keep at least one character, but no more than 4. (There are 2 exceptions and they are exactly who you think they are)
I cut all 3rd parties, this reboot is going back to its roots as a celebration of Nintendo. We can add them back in Smash 7.
Subject to change the minute Monolithsoft reveals their new IP.

Red = Unlockable
Luigi & Gooey are echoes

Red = Unlockables
Mach Rider has an Excitebiker skin
Foreman Spike, Wolf, Black Shadow, Mach Rider, Pichu, & Celica join Luigi & Gooey as Echoes
Slippy & ROB 64 are like Ice Climbers
Goron & Zora Link are like Zelda/Sheik

https://imgur.io/nBfVH08?r

Rare buyout did not happen till a couple months after Melee hit its finally territory. HM to Conker who was excluded since bad fur day probably released too close to Melee to be included.

Red = Unlockable
Green = Replacement for cut Rare Chatacters
Mii Team is like a tag team Pokemon Trainer
No new echoes
Sonic & Crash are unlockable but revealed before launch like 3rd parties were in Brawl.

https://imgur.io/Gv17ASl

Red = Unlockable in both versions
Yellow = Unlockable in 3DS version only
Everyone listed after random icon is DLC.

Slippy & ROB 64 & Mii Team are either reworked or exclusive to the Wii U edition. I dont agree woth completely scrapping a fighter due to 3DS limitations.

No new echoes in base roster (although they are split off in there own row now) but the top row of DLC are all echoes instead of adding veterans since all are here except Rare.

https://i.imgur.io/TROlcmz.jpg

Everyone is here (Rare is back)
Everyone after Tora is DLC except the Miis

Starting roster is & DJ KK

New Echoes are Veronica, Dark Samus, Tails, Coco, Hocotate President, & Octoling

Kasumi Alpha / Alpha 152 are like Pyra / Mythra
Rash & Billy Lee (with Pimple & Jimmy Lee Alt) are another duo fighter like Ice Climbers or Slippy & ROB 64

Tora & Lora are the main Xenoblade reps, Poppi, Jin, & Haze will be in background like Pokemon Trainer and occasionally interact with special attacks, taunts, etc.

https://i.imgur.io/YuIzzrk.jpg

Thought of some changes to my rosters.

Black Knight replaces Micaiah
Decided that were a magic based moveset is cool we did add Zelda in the same game plus Black Knight is just a good opportunity to add an iconic villain from the series.

Robin replaces Tiki
With Micaiah gone it would make sense to add Robin with the mage moveset Micaiah would have had.

Byleth Almost Replaced
Before adding Black Knight i did consider adding Flame Emperor over Byleth but that no longer seems necessary.

Twelve replaces Ruby Heart
I added Ruby Heart since i want someone to rep all Capcom fighting games. I thought of a better idea being Twelve from SF3. Were they have not appeared in a Capcom Vs. game they can canonically shape shift & mimic other fighters. Taking some creative liberties we can have them do this for different characters/moves from various Capcom fighters & series like the Ditto concept i also had. This would represent what i am going for better imo.

Dante replaces Monika
Dante overall replaces Monika. I still want Monika in Smash but realized she may not be as impactiful here with visual novels already being here through Ayumi. I dont think a dedicated horror or indie rep is enough given the potential humble origins or horror elements other series already here may have. Dante is admittedly a stretch for me since ive only played the mediocre at best DMC2 but from what ive seen of other series games & the character himself i am very optimistic he will become a favorite, plus at the very least the series was a pioneer & influenced other games i do really like. Also getting the Dante people wanted over PS Allstars would be great to see the reaction of.

Kiryu replaces Majima
Majima is still my favorite character & I have always liked Kiryu but after playing Kiwami 2 & most of 3 i feel lime ive grown to like Kiryu even more & feel a little weird putting Majima over him. I would also swap his timing with one of the Capcom reps delaying him to an Ultimate Fighter Pass which makes more sense as it would match closer to the franchises explosion in popularity outside Japan (after the international release of 0). Where i have taken risks on the potential of 1st party series, 3rd party is another ballgame & would be weird to have too niche of series considering all other options.

Giga Mac replaces King Hippo (DK Echo)
The moves work either way imo but Giga Macs general stance would be closer to DK plus it kind of gives us the series protag.

Krystal replaces Veronica
Veronica cant be a Micaiah echo if Micaiah missed the roster to begin with. Slippy & ROB 64 are our Ice Climbers like rep but make it in 3DS with ROB 64 now being a floating head working like a mix of Nana & Luma. Decided to not let that concept die & use Krystal as a Slippy echo to keep that playstyle in Ultimate with this new spot (something i almost did initially anyway)

Alph replaces President
This is something ive been back & forth on anyway (with Louie also in the mix).

Hestu replaces Skull Kid
As much as I like Skull Kid the timing (around BotW) always fealt off. Combine that with Goron & Zora Link already repping Majoras Mask & i decided to shop around. Think Hestu would be an interesting choice with the large roll Koroks had in BotW, ties to the iconic Great Deku Tree, & standout design & moveset potential.

Dingodile/Ayane replace Coco/Kasumi Alphas

This was honestly influenced by a post WarioWarioWario made. I always pictured a Coco echo or Cortex to get in after Crash. I do now think Dingodile could be the best 2nd choice. Hes popular, timing is good (around Crash 4), & has fun moveset potential. He isnt the most expected new series fighter but makes a lot of sense making him a great choice imo.

Decided to swap with Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive with Ayane being added as a Hayabusa echo with Crash series now getting the 2nd unique fighter from a 3rd party series role.

The Sim replaces Farmer (SoS/HM)
I like both series. IDK, Sims wasnt really on my radar before but do like the idea & is seemingly a much bigger series. We already have EA in with Mass Effect plus i feel like both these fighters would appeal to a similar audience anyway.

Melia replaces Lora
Honestly forgot Xenoblade DE was out as earlier as it was so a rep here could make more sense than a Torna Expansion character. Melia makes sense with Future Connected being a big selling point for DE plus I think she would stand out & be more unique than Shulk (or Lora for that matter)

Will come back & edit this post for later games but heres my take for a biased roster that doesnt worry about legal hurdles (although still avoided 4th parties). Is subject to change as i play more games.

					Axel Stone
Paper Boy	Crash Bandicoot	Pete / Farmer	Nights	Pai Chan	Lau Chan

						Joanna Dark	Elvis
Tails	Nights	Pai Chan	Lau Chan	Axel Stone	Beat	Robo & Mobo	Nightmare /Siegfried
Crash Banicoot	Fake Crash	Pete / Farmer	Sara / Farmer	Paper Boy	Ruby Heart	Edward Falcon

/ Wolf Link*		Master Chief	Crash Bandicoot		Pai Chan	Edward Falcon	Nightmare /Siegfried
			Axel Steel	Tails	Lau Chan	Ada Wong	Prince of All Cosmos
	Ryu Hayabusa	Joanna Dark	Paper Boy	Nights	Beat	The Sim	CJ
	Pete the Farmer	Conker	Rampage*	Axel Stone	Robo & Mobo	Zoey Payne	Random

Notes

& Wolf Link work like & did in Brawl
Similarly Rampage works like with you swapping between all 3 main monsters (George, Lizzie, & Ralph)

Cuts

Elvis
Fake Crash
Sara the Farmer
Ruby Heart

					Wolf Link
					Joanna Dark	Conker		Master Chief
	Tails	Nights	Pai Chan	Lau Chan	Axel Stone	Beat	Kiryu Kazuma

SharkLord · Sep 19, 2024

I already posted this in the main thread, but it's a slow day and a rather inactive period on the 'boards, so I might as well repost it here

I had previously set up an experimental Switch-centric roster, then went back and slowly added more veterans and long-standing old requests, then went and streamlined that concept down further. Here's my personal ideal roster for a late Switch/early Switch 2 Smash game. A hard limit of 60 full fighters, plus ten Echo fighters. Not counting Mario and his countless spinoff series, every represented series was paired down to only four characters max, plus Echo fighters. The roster's meant to be mostly first-party centric, but I still wanted to preserve some degree of third-party presence.

Also of note is that Echo Fighters are meant to have a bit more freedom in their movesets, but are still using the same general framework and mvoeset as their bases. Also, Zelda's meant to be based on Echoes of Wisdom, but there wasn't a non-chibi design to use, and tiny toy Zelda would stick out like a sore thumb. Marina has Pearl assisting her throughout her moveset, so you don't have to ask where Pearl is. And I needed exactly ten Echoes or the roster wouldn't be a perfect rectangle, so I threw in Sylux and Blood Falcon.

~~Also I genuinely forgot the Miis so let's just pretend there's a detailed character creator off-screen that includes the Miis~~

Thegameandwatch · Feb 18, 2025

I didn't change much of the Smash roster but here is the changes I would make.

Bowser was planned for the game and he is a villain rep that is consistent unlike DK. Charizard replaces Jigglypuff since it's very popular. Yoshi was moved to an unlockable character.

Luigi is moved here while Pit is the retro rep instead of the Ice Climbers. Scizor replaces Pichu since there isn't an original Gen 2 rep. Wario replaces Dr. Mario.

Pokemon Trainer is the only one that gets removed but that's only because Charizard was moved to 64. Since Pit and Wario are moved to Melee, I added Villager and Toad respectively. Mii characters were common in that era so I added them in Pokemon Trainer's slot.

Create the Smash Roster, but 100% bias!
