So we know that every character from Brawl isn't going to make the cut since the development team doesn't have enough time and resources. We also know Sakurai doesn't want to let anyone down when their favorite character doesn't make it in, so it's going to be a tight roster when it's fully developed.
That being said here's what I was thinking: What if characters that don't make it into Smash 4 (due to whatever reason) become sort of 'reincarnated' within brand new characters? For example, if Pokemon Trainer got the boot but Ridley joined as a newcomer and incorporated a few of Charizard's moves and stats. Not to say Ridley would be a carbon copy of Charizard, just that he would play similarly/have some familiar moves that previous Charizard fans would enjoy in combination with brand new moves/stats. Considering those circumstances, if you were a fan of Charizard in Brawl, do you think you would enjoy this? Are a couple of fan favorite moves taken from Charizard not enough to fill the gap? Or if you hated Charizard, do you think you would still care for Ridley in Smash Bros 4?
To delve even further into it, what if some existing characters were given new move sets combining their old movess with other existing characters? Like, for example, if Wolf was cut in Smash Bros 4 but a few of his well known moves like his side special were given to Falco, who did happen to make it in? Would that be crossing the line or do you think it would work well with Falco and save room on the roster?
