Introduction
This is not a thread about making new character move sets. There's already a place for that. This is more about the choices you'd make if you had any part in the development of a Super Smash Bros. game. This could include the next installment if you wish. You may come up with ideas on who you'd like to see in the next game, and you may also come up with new features in the game, as well as previous features that you think would be a good idea. So tell me what you'd add if you could. This includes:
There are other ideas that could be brought to my attention, I'm sure. Don't hold back and let your imagination run wild. If there are any other add-ons I could place in the list above, let me know. I might throw those in as well. That said, here are a few ideas that I have of my own.
Characters
I feel that there are too many characters in the current Super Smash Bros. game. I understand that a lot of people like a lot of characters. I even played King of Fighters XIV recently and there are a lot of characters. Having a lot of characters and a lot of content doesn't necessarily make something great, but if it's present and the game is already enjoyable, then who am I to complain? Getting back to the characters, my idea I've had for some time since Super Smash Bros. Wii U was released is the reduction of characters, the return to simplicity. Of course, I'm sure the results I have in my mind may also contain numerous characters.
Here's how I see it. There are a lot of Mario characters and in this new Super Smash Bros. game, there have been a lot of additional Fire Emblem characters. Let's go down the list for Mario first, and then Fire Emblem.
That's nine characters from the Mario series. Nine! I could add Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, simply because Mario first appeared in Donkey Kong, but the games have branched off since, so I'll leave you with that list. I think it's funny people complained about too many Fire Emblem characters when we see that Mario beats them. They just happen to be second place in terms of characters from the series.
If I had my way with these lists in the next Super Smash Bros. game, I'd get rid of Bowser Jr., Dr. Mario, and Rosalina & Luma. As for the Fire Emblem characters, I'd get rid of all but Marth and Ike. Wait a minute, though. Don't think all has been lost. I'd at least have the possibility of returning characters based on the amount of characters who'd already be present. I would really cut down on these characters, however, leaving instead the protagonist of the series and the antagonist. These would be of utmost importance before anything else could be considered. Here's how it'd look and you will notice a pattern.
Pretty much, my list would consist of 24 characters, all of which are protagonists and antagonists. There would be 24 more unlockable characters. There would be four extra characters not of Nintendo origin, but have been on Nintendo consoles. Currently, I have no idea who those would be.
Palettes
This is really more of my brother's idea, so I'll give the credit to him. His idea is inspired after F-Zero GX/AX where you can choose the color of your vehicle. While you'd have a preset of colors, you could make a custom kind and save it as you wish. This would allow players to see what their favorite characters or their mains would look like in a different color. No Ice Flower color for Mario? No problem! Just change the white, long-sleeved shirt to a light blue. Want to see Link in pink leggings? Knock yourself out! What? No Power Suit color for Samus? Let's change that! I think a lot of people would have fun with altering colors. We have custom stages and custom move sets. Why not custom palettes?
Feel free to share your ideas!
