If you were in charge of a Smash roster, what would it look like?

[osby]

Keep everyone, I don't want to start an inferior roster by cuts.

DESIGN CHANGES: and get their classic designs (I actually do like KIU, but classic Pit is so adorable I couldn't resist.

)

I also prefer the classic Pit and classic Sonic looks. Nice to know someone else appreciates them, too.
My list would consist of the following:

1. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser
2. Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, King K. Rool
3. Link, Zelda, Ganondorf (Whatever their current incarnations are. Since we didn't see an actual Ganondorf in BotW, I'd go with the Phantom Ganon appearance, but with Ganondorf's actual face)
4. Samus, Dark Samus (or Space Pirate), Ridley
5. Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede
6. Pokemon Trainer, Mewtwo, one current gen Pokemon
7. Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Wolf O'Donnell
8. Ness, Lucas, Pokey
9. Marth (with Lucina palettes, total of 16), Hector, and Ike, because I actually like Ike
10. Pit (with the 8th palette being Dark Pit), Palutena, Medusa
11. Mr. Game & Watch, Pac-Man, Little Mac, R.O.B., Mega Man, Ryu, Simon Belmont (with Richter Belmont palettes)

You’ve got me curious, so you should either post it or send me a link

My first post ever was an idea that they should have a more loose definition of echo fighters, and a fighter could have multiple sub-based fighters. Basically fighters of a similar moveset and/or design (ie., Dr. Mario and Paper Mario would apply to Mario) could be found in the game as "multiple echoes" of a fighter, even if their movesets were completely different.
My ideal roster uses that idea a lot.

[Calamitas]

Alright, since I don't really want to clutter things, I'll just shortly go over returning characters and the like for my take on all of this.

First off, in regards to past character/character annoucned for Ultimate so far, everyone returns, with two exceptions: Roy and Jigglypuff both are cut. Lucina would be reworked with some parts that differentiated Roy from Marth, and Chrom would be an Echo of her, rather than Roy. Jigglypuff's moveset is not recycled.

For fighter changes:

• Luigi incorporates the Poltergust more heavily into his moveset, though not as a core mechanic. Mostly his grab, and maybe one or two specials.
• Ganondorf is reworked to feature more magic and swordplay in his moveset, his various designs are costumes, with his Hyrule Warriors design as default.
• Young Link has a moveset more directly inspired by Majora's Mask, with him using transformation masks for various moves such as specials.
• Toon Link has his gear from Wind Waker incorporated into his moveset, such as the Skull Hammer for a Side Smash, or the Deku Leaf for his Up-B.
• Sheik uses her knife more for her moveset, and has a harp for both taunts and victory poses.
• Pokémon Trainer has his team and design replaced with Generation 3 content: Brendan and May take the spots as trainer, and their Pokémon team consists of Mudkip, Grovyle, and Blaziken. (Grovyle for its prominent role in the second Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, Blaziken for being one of the first Pokémon of the Generation shown in the anime, and Mudkip. . . well, because it was left. I herd u liek Mudkipz?)
• Dark Pit becomes an original fighter, using weapon classes from Kid Icarus Uprising that aren't utilized for Pit's moveset at all, like claws, clubs or staffs.
• King Dedede is already perfect.

Now, for unique newcomers from already represented series:

• Xenoblade Chronicles: Elma as a representative for Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Team Lora (aka, Lora, Jin and Haze) as a representative for both Xenoblade Chronicles 2 as well as Torna - The Golden Country, acting similarly to Pokémon Trainer. Rex and Pyra are banned from ever getting in.
• Pokémon: Zoroark and N to represent Generation 5, with N being admittedly being more of an aesthetic thing akin to Pokémon Trainer. Additionally, Lycanroc as a representative for Generation 7.
• The Legend of Zelda: . . .Alright, strap yourselves in - Vaati, Beast Ganon, Skull Kid and Wolf Link & Midna. Vaati because he's the second most common villain after Ganon/dorf. Beast Ganon because he's honestly more commonly seen in the games than Ganondorf. Skull Kid because of his popularity, which is also the reason for Wolf Link & Midna.
• Donkey Kong: Dixie Kong (as a semi-clone of Diddy) and Cranky Kong.
• Mario: Paper Mario and Fawful, to represent both main "branches" of Mario RPGs, and Waluigi to represent spin-off games Waluigi.
• Fire Emblem: Lyndis as a general representative for the GBA era of Fire Emblem, with the possibility of Eirika as an alternate costume, akin to what was originally planned for Marth and Lucina in Smash 4. Additionally, Anna as a general representative of the series.
• Kirby: Bandana Dee - I have no personal attachment to the character, but eh, why not.
• Star Fox: Krystal - Same as above, really. Just as long as she gets an outfit that doesn't look like underwear.

Unique newcomers that represent entirely new series:

• Isaac from Golden Sun.
• Ballon Fighter as a retro rep.
• Edea Lee from Bravely Default/Second as a second representative for Square Enix.
• Amaterasu from Okami for no special reason other than my personal liking.

And lastly, Echo fighters:

• The Avatar (Rook/Cross) of Xenoblade Chronicles X for Elma.
• Malos from Xenoblade Chronicles 2 for Shulk.
• Felix for Isaac.
• Octolings for Inkling.
• Shadow for Sonic.
• Ken for Ryu.
• Funky Kong for Donkey Kong.
• (Potentially Micaiah from Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn for Robin)

This would make for a total of two cuts, twenty-three unique newcomers, and eight Echo Fighters. If this roster was supposed to realistic in any way or fashion there'd of course be far less newcomers, but this topic never asked for realism, so. . . yeah.

Disgusting. Why did you cut characters like Lucario, WFT, Rosalina, Corrin and Zero Suit Samus ? And I know that's YOUR favorite roster, but really ? Loud House character ?

Anyway, I just want to know the reason you cut certains characters.

I was interested of having a 4th party rep introduced for the roster, oh and about the cut characters some of them like Jigglypuff is irrelevant or Cloud due to licence issues. I apologize for the cuts (About that 4th party thing? I went with the Loud House show and i though "What would be like if Lincoln Loud with Leni Loud as a echo were in my roster?" And that's why they are in) Thanks for letting me explain about this

Oh okay then.

Veterans: 62
Newcomers: 43
Cuts: 18
Echoes: 13
Total: 108

Here is picture of the full roster, red is unlockables, yellow is echoes, and the goomba and koop are off to the side as there is no "goompa & koopa & plant" option

 

[Pupp135]

I'll make two rosters: one for what I expect next game will be like (new engine) and a situation where there are no cuts
"Hard Reboot" (roster gets drastically cut, and game is on new engine)
"Ultimate Port" (Everyone is here and new fighters)
For each roster, I'll explain why newcomers were chosen in addition to more controversial veterans, or in the third roster, why characters were cut

"Hard Reboot"
My roster will be about 38 characters (counting Pokemon Trainer Pokemon and miis separately), with 4 taking fewer resources and development time. No unlockables since most characters would normally starters, and the starting roster was this big in SSBFor.
New Pokemon,Character from New IP, (/) Octoling, Some wild card

Spoiler: Reasons

Controversial Picks
Jigglypuff: It is usually one of the first cuts for most people, but people justify keeping Ness and Falcon, who are also both irrelevant. Also, keeping the Original 12 is a nice little detail.
Ice Climbers: I'll just admit it's biased, but they take the spot of the traditional retro fighter (F-Zero and Mother are also retro at this point).
Miis: They are historically important and still appear as avatars. Also, costumes for them sell, so it makes a ton of sense.
2 Animal Crossing characters: it is the 4th biggest franchise for Nintendo, so I think I can justify both characters.
Newcomers
There's only three, and two of them are used to represent newer games or franchises. The wild card is something that could be another character from a new IP, another FE/Xenoblade fighter, or a side character like Beast Ganon.

Spoiler: Things I would do for the hard reboot

Single Player
Make All-Star back to the traditional version.
Bring back Smash Run in place of WoL (I like WoL, but Smash Run would be a fun way to have platformer elements in SSB), and at the end of Smash Run, there is a boss battle.
Boss Battle Mode
Stage Builder allows players to choose between touch screen (if next console has a touch screen) or controller at all times.
Smash
Let cursor remember characters between matches.
Hazard toggle during stage selection.
Expand Squad Strike: more options for Elimination and Tag Team (customize number of characters/lives for both modes, and let tag team be 4/8 players.
Online
Adding an unranked mode is top priority.
1v1 and FFA tourneys are permanently available.
Add Squad Strike to Online

[The Smash Nerd II.0.]

I love this idea already.

No, I don't. Besides 4th Party's don't belong in a Smash game

 

[StrangeKitten]

Well listing everything out would be kinda exhausting. I wouldn't cut anyone. I'd add all the notable characters to their series. You think Fire Emblem has a lot right now? Just wait till I only add a few to FE, but get done with things like Mario (including Yoshi's series) Pokemon, and Sonic, haha! Of course, some series I'd leave at just one rep, such as Ice Cilmbers, due to there not being many, if at all, other viable candidates.

Then I'd wanna fill fan requests. Isaac? In! Lloyd, Yuri, and Velvet Crowe? In! Phoenix Wright? In! Rhythm Heaven rep? Well they can never decide who the fighter should be, so I'd do Chrous Kids, Karate Joe, and Girl. And so on, and so on, until all the characters with a decent amount of speculation to their name are added. This would be way too much work and wouldn't make sense from the business side of things, so it's for the better that I'm not in charge of the roster.

[Torgo the Bear]

This is for my admittedly unrealistic dream game: Super Smash Bros. Eternal.

I'm gonna keep this somewhat reasonable. I'm bringing back the full Ultimate roster, but I'm splitting up the teams again like in Smash 4. So Squirtle, Ivysaur, Charizard, Pyra, and Mythra are all individual characters now.

And don't worry about the Pokemon Trainers themselves, they're still here. Each Pokemon character (except Mewtwo) now has the Trainer from their original generation lead them from the background. You get to choose the Trainer's gender alongside the Pokemon's alternate costumes. The exception is the Gen 1 Pokemon, who only get one specific Trainer each:
Pikachu: Chase (Let's Go Boy)
Jigglypuff: Elaine (Let's Go Girl)
Squirtle: Blue
Ivysaur: Leaf
Charizard: Red

As for Echo Fighters, they are all still here and still retain their Echo properties...except for Daisy and Dark Samus, who have been reworked into their own unique characters. However, there are two Newcomer Echoes, so the total count of Echo Fighters is unchanged.

Now onto the newcomers. There are 89 veterans, so I will add 11 newcomers to bring the base game to a total of 100 fighters.

1. Waluigi
2. Karate Joe (similarly to Mr. Game & Watch, he will transform into different Rhythm Heaven characters in his attacks)
3. Porky
4. Captain Syrup
5. Vaati
6. Lip (featuring Windy, Sherbet, Thiana, Ruby, Elias, Flare, Neris, and Seren as alternate costumes, just like Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings)
7. Octoling (Inkling echo fighter)
8. Sir Arthur
9. Gardevoir
10. Gothitelle (Gardevoir echo fighter)
11. Kamek

There will also be two DLC Fighter Passes, each featuring five main characters and 1 bonus character. This brings the final game roster to a total of 112 characters.

DLC Pass 1:

1. Geno
2. Kris (Deltarune)
3. Dimitiri Maximov
4. Dr. Eggman
5. Sirfetch’d
6. Master Hand (Unlocked if all 5 previous characters are purchased)

DLC Pass 2:

1. Chell
2. Space Invaders
3. Viridi
4. Mike Jones
5. Sora
6. Crazy Hand (Unlocked if all 5 previous characters are purchased)
