If Smash Ultimate ended with 100 unique characters, who would YOU choose? (READ OP)

[RealPokeFan11]

Smash Ultimate currently has 75 characters total, and 6 more are coming in Vol. 2 of the fighters pass. But what if that number reached 100 characters total, with 6 fighters passes? That's where you come in and fill in the other 25 slots with whoever you want!

This thread was inspired by the Rate Their Chances day: Concept: 100 characters.

The only rules:

1. No assist trophies, Pokéball Pokémon, or bosses. (Sorry Waluigi fans.)
2. Characters must originate from a video game or video game series. (No Goku, Shrek, SpongeBob, Bowsette, etc.)
3. New echo fighters do not take up a slot, but must share a slot with the original fighter they echo in that slot. Ex: 75: Crash Bandicoot, 75e: Coco Bandicoot.
4. Slots 71-75 have fully completed Pass 1, with Joker, Hero, Banjo-Kazooie, Terry Bogard, and Byleth (yawn). Slot 76 is confirmed to be an ARMS character!

I'll start.

Pass 1:
71. Joker
72. Hero
73. Banjo-Kazooie
74. Terry Bogard
75. Byleth (yawn)

[RealPokeFan11]

I think Assist trophies aren't allowed in this game. "No assist trophies" whopps. somehow posted twice XD

Also echo characters must share a slot with the character it's echoing in the pass. So no 2E for Funky Kong. (Can't see him working as an echo anyway. Maybe a semiclone.)

 

[TableCloth]

[A-money2121]

I've got nothing to do, so this sounded fun:

Pack 1:
71. Joker
72. Rex and Pyra/Mythra (Pyra and Mythra can be swapped via alt. costumes. Just thought it sounded like a good idea)
73. Banjo-Kazooie (IT HAPPENENND)
74. Terry Bogard
75. Crash Bandicoot

Pack 2:
76. Geno
77. Viridi
78. Balloon Fighter
79. Dante (Devil May Cry)
80. Dixie Kong

Pack 3.
81. Tetra
17a. Toon Zelda (Zelda echo. Released alongside Tetra)
82. Lora and Jin (from Xenoblade 2: Torna the Golden Country. Could switch characters in between battle, kinda like Poke Trainer)
83. Byleth (I know people are tired of FE reps, but I definitely can see Byleth in the future, or one of the lords for that instance, due to 3h's success. If you haven't played it, I recommend it!)
84. Minecraft Steve
85. Lloyd Irving

Pack 4:
86. Chibi-Robo and Telly
87. Waddle Dee (Bandanna, of course)
88. Cuphead/Mugman (Mostly because I want those epic boss themes playing in the background while I kick people's ***es)
89. Chorus Kids
90. Heihachi

Pack 5:
91. Custom Robo
92. Gen 8 Pokemon (Kind of a Smash Bros. tradition to include new Pokemon)
93. Master Chief (I've grown to like the idea of having him. I would've disagreed years ago, but Smash has changed)
94. Henry Fleming (from Codename: Steam. It's a franchise I personally view as underrated, and would like to see get representation. It's kind of a pipe dream though.)
95. Claus (Masked Man)

Pack 6:
96. Slippy (You can probably already tell that I'm running out of ideas)
97. Medusa
98. Monster Hunter (Got Rathalos, may as well just represent the series as a whole)
99. Daroach
100. Siegfried
100e. Nightmare

The order doesn't matter really, these are just characters that I for one would like seeing in Smash. Because of the development rate of these packs, I'm sure more franchises and iconic characters will be made along the way. So some characters in the list might be replaced by characters we haven't even heard about yet! Who knows, I might come back in two months to switch some things around.

It's sucks that assist trophies practically deconfirmed a lot of favorites... Within this list, I would have included Ashley, Dillon, Isaac, Krystal, and Skull Kid. That's five characters - they could've been a pack of their own

 

[Ben Holt]

I vote that we should remove the "no Assist Trophy" rule. Given the fact that you can now grab and KO Assists, they are halfway programmed as fighters anyway.
And with 29 slots to fill (not to mention Echos), excluding current Assist Trophies seems a bit excessive.

 

[RealPokeFan11]

Reminder that echo fighters must share a slot with the fighter they echo in the pass.

As for the assist trophy rule, grabbing and throwing them isn't a valid argument. It's staying, and most likely won't change. Otherwise, everyone's lists will be full of assist trophies.

 

[SKX31]

Basing my passes on a previous one:

Pass 1:

71. Joker
72. Erdrick
73. One of Microsoft's characters (as it currently stands, one of Banjo / Steve)
74. Scorpion
75. Crash Bandicoot

Pass 2:

76. Isaac
77. One of Banjo / Master Chief
78. KOS-MOS
79. Bandana Dee
80. Ribbon Girl (since Spring Man's been AT'd)

Pass 3:

81. One of Master Chief / Steve
82. Krystal
83. Zeratul (StarCraft)
84. Cranky Kong
85. Black Shadow or Jody Summers

Pass 4:

86. One of Rayman / Ezio
87. Lip (Puzzle Panic)
88. Style Savvy rep
89. Heihachi
90. Gen 8 / 9 Pokemon

Pass 5:

91. Koopa Troopa
92. One of Ezio / Rayman
93. Gordon Freeman
94. Hades or Medusa
95. Hector (or any Axe-wielding FE character)

Pass 6:

96. Lara Croft (or JC Denton from Deus Ex)
97. Project HAMMER protagonist (please resurrect it Nintendo!)
98. Impa
99. (Reserved in case a new Nintendo series breaks out. If not: ) Raiden (Metal Gear Solid / Rising)
100. Doom Marine

OR (tactical nuke incoming!):

100. Morphling (Dota 2*)

(*Hoo boy now THAT's a massive left-fielder. And not just because I grew up with Dota when it was a custom map in WarCraft 3 before Valve bought the IP, brought two of its creators along and made Dota 2. This is also assuming that MOBA's - somehow - become feasible on consoles, including the Switch or whatever. The genre's not going away at this point.

Morphling's essentially a Water Elemental with the ability to shift between Strength / Agility, but not instantenously. In Smash terms it means switching between light- and heavyweight, with the lightweight option doing lots of damage and the heavyweight very little. And has a Ditto-esque transformation ability targetting opponents, a Quick Attack-esque move in a straight line and a projectile that damages if lightweight and stuns if heavyweight. Balancing nightmare? Yes, but if you're going with 100 characters, I feel like some of them should play around with Smash's mechanics some.)

[RetrogamerMax]

I think Assist trophies aren't allowed in this game. "No assist trophies"

Also echo characters must share a slot with the character it's echoing in the pass. So no 2E for Funky Kong. (Can't see him working as an echo anyway. Maybe a semiclone.)

Sorry, I didn't read the Op but just the title.

 

[RealPokeFan11]

Sorry, I didn't read the Op but just the title.

It's fine.

 

[MajoraMoon]

You should have made the list reasonable by 85. A 100 characters is difficult and unnecessary.

ITS NEVER ENOUGH!

 

[BowserKing]

Personally I want the no Pokeball Pokémon rule removed.

However, i'll show my first Pack for Fighters pass.

Updated a bit

Pack 1: Joker, Hero, Banjo and Kazooie, Terry and Adeleine
Pack 2: Midbus, Sceptile, Porky, Sylux and Steve

- Captain Toad (Alt Toadette)

...tempted to add Kamek... and a few others that I would make 'echoes'
...I'd add Teleroboxer if it could properly do Virtual Boy

'Fourth Party' isnt a thing.
But I take it you mean non video game character?

[YoshiandToad]

Something like this;

Some notes:
I just prefer Slime's unique look to Erdrick, sorry.
Chris Redfield shares a slot with Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield with two palettes each.
Captain Toad has a Toadette Alt each with four palettes each.
Steve? comes with an Alex alt.
Mallow and Geno are released together to finish off the Fighters Pass with Mallow being revealed first to allow hype to build for the Geno fans.
Tingle is currently not an assist, so he's okay by these rules.
No Pokemon were added as all the ones I considered adding were Pokeballs already and thus were screwed by the pokeball cause.
If not for the Assist Trophy clause Bomberman, Isaac, Krystal, Waluigi, Dillon and Springman would have made it in over some of these choices.
3 3rd party packs, 3 Nintendo packs. Balanced I guess.

[Megadoomer]

I'm assuming that characters who are spirits or non-interactive aspects of levels are still allowed.

74. Dante (Devil May Cry)
75. Doomguy (DOOM)
76. Geno (Super Mario RPG)
77. Captain Toad (Super Mario Bros. - Toadette as an alternate costume)
78. Impa (the Legend of Zelda - specifically, Hyrule Warriors (EDIT: Or the Age of Calamity version))
79. Heihachi Mishima (Tekken) (shame that he wasn't actually included)
80. Bandanna Waddle Dee (Kirby)
81. Dixie Kong (Donkey Kong)
82. Elma (Xenoblade Chronicles)
83. Rex and Pyra/Mythra (Xenoblade Chronicles)
84. Terry Bogard (Fatal Fury/The King of Fighters) (ARE YOU OKAY?)
85. Porky Minch (Earthbound)
86. Wonder Red (The Wonderful 101)
87. Isa Jo (Sin & Punishment)
88. Alexandra Roivas (Eternal Darkness)
89. Mike Jones (Star Tropics)
90. Ray (Custom Robo)
91. Andy (Advance Wars)
92. Rayman (Rayman)
93. Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes) (I'm a little disappointed)
94. Captain Syrup (Wario Land)
95. Kos-Mos (Xenosaga)
96. Ribbon Girl (ARMS - since Spring Man is an assist trophy) (I'll take it)
97. Vaati (the Legend of Zelda)
98. Genesect (Pokemon)
99. Sans (Undertale) (close enough?)
100. 2B (Nier Automata)

Since there are seven echo fighters in the base game, I figure I should bump it up by three to get an even 110. It's a hundred unique fighters, so echo fighters don't count towards that total, but I didn't want to go overboard.

38e. Tails (we've seen through Chrom that echoes can have different recoveries, and through Ken that some of their base moves can be different)
63e. Jeanne
64e. Octoling

This would be the end result, though I organized it by series as opposed to their debut in Smash, and to make it so it actually showed 100 characters (110 with the echoes), I split the Pokemon Trainer into the three separate characters.
