How many characters should be in SSBB?

[Air Jordan]

How many characters should be in SSBB? Because you don't want too many, right.
Anybody that has a good guess, post you thought's here.

 

[Ikural]

im hoping 35-50
about 25-35 unlockable
15-20 starting

 

[Fawriel]

We don't want too many?

 

[SubparSmashBrother]

20 starters, 18 unlockables.

 

[Black/Light]

35-40 to 40-45 (I think the later is closer).

 

[Croco]

Same as Ikural..
35-50 characters..
I'm hoping for ALLOT of content.

 

[Artistry]

50 would be nice. That way, in 5 years, your friend won't be going, "i duno who teh pcik."

Seriously, 50 for Brawl.

 

[Phaazoid]

Sakurai said no more than 50, so 40-45 is a good guess, though since i would love an absolute max, i hope for 50.

 

[Azukki]

40-50
35-45 would be a bit more reasonable, though.

 

[Air Jordan]

I think there should be about 30-36 characters? I'm a SSB fan, but isn't it known for having
a good amount of people? So it's likely they are going to put an amount smaller than 45.

 

[Cenedar]

I'm seeing the 40-45 range. The process on this game hasn't been as rushed as Melee was in the end, so Sakurai has more time to create fighters with different movesets. The only way I see 50 is if we still have a clone thrown in here or there, although it would be impressive

 

[Thino]

35 - 40

 

[kerploplesteesh]

quality is greater than quatity but all the same i hope for somewhere between 40-50

 

[Lemon Drop]

I like to see 30 - 40 fighters.

Though I wouldn't mind seeing 50 fighters :D

 

[doctorzoidberg12]

I want 40 but at least 36 will be okay.

 

[Khanczar]

I personally want over 9000 characters in the game.

Well, let's do this the logical way...

I personally like to break it up into the different series because they kind of helps determine who deserves to get in. The most popular/important ones deserve more, and series which are staples and may not be as popular deserve some but less. And everyone else belong in just a category of "new." Each of these should be fairly balanced. So, without further adieu...

Mario (6) - Mario's lineup really begs six...there are six main characters in the Mario series.

Zelda (5) Zelda needs at least the triforce, and there were five in Melee; I don't think it should go down.

Kirby (3) He's getting three because...Sakurai wants him to.

Pokemon (5) This sounds about right. Probably will keep 2 or 3 from last time and add a few more.

StarFox (4) I truly do believe it deserves this many, simply because of popularity of characters.

Metroid (3) Needs it. No doubt about it. And, probably not more because...there really...aren't any...

DK (2) No predictions about how this will be setup (could be "3"), but they'll likely just add Diddy.

F-Zero (2) and Earthbound (2) these have both had solo reps for the past two...they need one more.

Fire Emblem (2) No more, no less.

and, lastly...new series should have 3 (Wario counts), classic series should have 3 (Pit counts), and 3rd party series should have 3 (Snake counts).

This just sounds about right (I won't list who I think should fill all of these spots...)


So, I honestly think that the final count SHOULD be at least 43 based on these number, but I'd REALLY like other new characters and ICs to return (I hadn't counted them). Anyway, I think there should be that many...

Fire emblem seires definatly deserves at least 3 chars in brawl in my opinion. and F-Zero I can only really see Capt falcon going.

 

[EggBomb]

36-40 would be my guestimate

 

[Lemon Drop]

Clearly you don't know F-zero Characters, plenty of characters that could do well in smash bros.

 

[Kalypso]

Even Falcon is a complete, 100% stretch, being that everything he does is completely made up for smash brothers. All that was taken from the F-Zero games was his name... Also, Samurai Goroh is a ****ing idiot.

 

[Shuma]

Captain Falcon was a bounty Hunter since the first F-Zero game, he already had a little background, and meh i don't like Samurai Goroh, Black Shadow would be more fitting as a villain since... well you know, he is the Villain. That or Deathborn, he is Nintendo's Darth Vader.

For Metroid, Samus, Ridley and Dark Samus are the only characters that fit in Brawl, and FE it should be something like Ike, Black Knight, Marth.

I'm guessing 35-45 Characters for Brawl.

 

[h2ownage]

i would like 50+, i know that is a tad unreasonable but i would like to see a huge roster. im more anxious to see if they balance the characters so we do not have 50000 fox players.

 

[dynamic_entry]

yea, i'd say 9000 would just about cut it.

seriously though, i agree with the grim lizard...except for maybe a little more fire emblem rep.

 

[Eternal phoenix Fire]

35-40

Seriously,why would you want more than that?

 

[Toasty!]

40-45 and I'll be a happy camper.
