If you were in charge of roster picking for an upcoming Smash!!

[Deleted member]

My roster is still work in progress. However, I'd probably cut:
(or possibly give him a new moveset, even though I hate him as a character) as well as to make room for other 3rd party charcters.
I'd also bring back (Assuming the technical issues are out of the way) and (I'm yet to play as him, but we need more villains)
Also, is replaced with Impa. I don't know much about either characters, but I do know Sheik only appeared in one game in the series (Discounting HW) and that she's basically just Zelda in disguise, while Impa appears in multiple games in the series and she seems like a worthy replacement. She does use her sword in some of her attacks, though.

Characters I'd add:
-Captain Toad
-King K. Rool
-New Zelda rep
-Ridley
-Bandana Dee
-Sceptile
-Isaac (Haven't played Golden Sun yet, but I know he can be an extremely unique fighter and he has a huge following)
-Inkling
-Rayman
-Shovel Knight (Semi-bias, I think he could fit in perfectly)

Critism is welcome.

Edit: Lucina is an alt for Marth, and Daisy is an alt for Peach. Pit has Pittoo's B and Side B as custom moves, and Mario also has the tornado as a custom move. Also, the newcomers list is still in progress.

Edit 2: Added Inkling

Edit 3: Added a Placeholder Zelda rep to the list

Edit 4: Impa replaces Sheik.

Edit 5: This post is outdated as ****. My more updated post is at page 36.

Paper Mario or Waluigi (or maybe both)
Impa
Linkle
Krystal
A Gen 7/8 Pokemon
Isabelle
Inkling
Takamaru

BTW what characters you think should be Default? and what characters you think should be Unlockable?

I find it extreme to cut all of the DLC third party characters; then again, I tend to be open-minded when it comes to third parties, and I don't understand the viewpoint that some people have that only cartoony mascot characters "fit in" with the rest of the Nintendo cast.

Additions seem perfectly fine; K. Rool, Ridley, and Captain Toad in particular are fantastic, though I have no problem with any of them. The only suggestions I have on that front are a few more new Nintendo franchises (at the very least, the absence of Inkling from Splatoon seems odd), and if any come to mind, a new Zelda character would be nice (it's kind of weird that, despite being one of Nintendo's most popular and noteworthy franchises, it hasn't gotten a new character in Smash since Melee).

Thanks for the suggestions. My thoughts on each:

Paper Mario - I'm mostly indiffrent since I never played any of the Paper Mario games yet. Would definetly be better than Dr. Mario/10 though.
Waluigi - I'd probably add him for his fans.
Impa - I'll probably cut Sheik and add Impa with Sheik's old moveset and a different final smash.
Linkle - Not sure.
Krystal - I never actually played any of the Star Fox games yet, but I think Fox, Falco and Wolf are enough. Wouldn't mind seeing her in the game though.
Gen 7/8 Pkmn - Personally, I don't wanna add any characters that we don't know about yet. I mean, realistically it's probably gonna happen, but I'd rather see who's worthy before I add them. Sceptile is mostly there because we need a Grass starter and it fits the most in my opinion, plus it appears in Pokken Tournament. However if the next grass starter would be a worthy canidate, I'll consider it.
Isabelle - I wouldn't mind seeing her (Although she's pretty likely to be in the next game) but she's not a character I really want to add.
Inkling - Yes
Takamaru - I never played his game, but he seems like the best Retro pick IMO.

Personally, I feel like they're pretty likely to get cut, also I didn't want to go overboard with the third-party characters. If I didn't want to limit myself with third-party characters, I'd probably keep Cloud and Ryu.

I forgot about the Inklings, I'll add them in a second. As for a Zelda newcomer, I haven't played that many Zelda games, so it's not that I don't want to add any new Zelda character, I just don't know who I should add.

I haven't played any of the Xenoblade games yet, so I'm not adding her yet.

what about Dillion? BTW Daisy as a Alternate Costume wouldn't because Peach acts like a Little girl, Daisy acts like a Tomboy so it wouldn't make since why would Daisy slap oppnets instead of punch (like she did in MP3 to Bowser), and Why would she Walk like Peach? again she's a Tomboy not a Little Girl (unlike Peach) and DAISY DOES NOT FLOAT!!!!!!!!
so i rather see her as a Unqiue character or atleast a Luigifield Clone (just like Luigi, Wolf, Lucas, Roy, Jigglypuff and Falco)

I'm not so sure about Ryu and Bayonetta being cut, to be honest. (Cloud could go either way - his inclusion got a lot of people excited, but Square-Enix seemed pretty stingy to begin with, given how little FF content we got) Sonic's all-but guaranteed to return, and seeing as Bayonetta is owned by the same company and has the fact that she won the ballot behind her, I can't see why she wouldn't get brought back.

Likewise, if Mega Man comes back, it seems like it would be relatively straightforward to get Ryu back at the same time; I can't think that they'd want all the effort that was put into his moves to go to waste.

As far as Zelda characters go, popular choices include Midna, Ghirahim, Ganon (mainly to give the series' villain a moveset that actually draws from the games), Impa, Vaati, and occasionally Tingle. Most of those characters are playable in Hyrule Warriors, so looking up footage and character trailers from that would be a good place to start.

I never played Dillon's game, but for some reason I really don't want to see him in Smash Bros.
I'd rather have Daisy as an alt since alot of people like this idea, and I feel like 7 Mario characters (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Rosalina, Bowser Jr. and Captain Toad) are enough (If I added Waluigi he'd represent the Wario series instead).

I feel like they're one-off/DLC only characters. The main reason why I cut Bayonetta is that she just generally doesn't appeal to me as a character and I feel like the ballot was rigged (No offense to any Bayonetta fan out there).

I see. I'll probably add a placeholder Zelda rep to the roster and change it to an actual character once I play enough Zelda games. Ganon, however, is a character I don't want to add since he's the same character as Ganondorf, I'd probably give Ganondorf a unique moveset (But I'd keep some of his old moves such as flame choke and his final Smash).

What about Black Shadow? if Ganondorf's moveset was changed (expect Neutral-A, Side Tilt, Down Tilt, Up-Smash, Side-B and maybe F-Air and Up-Tilt) Black Shadow would be for does who prefer The old Ganondorf

I never played F-Zero but I actually did considered him, however I don't really want a second F-Zero rep. Captain Falcon seems enough to represent his own series

 

[Bebe Mignon]

I haven't played any of the Xenoblade games yet, so I'm not adding her yet.

I suggest getting both games immediately.

Like now.

Now I'm Going To Make My Roster With The Style Of The Roster Builder. But, My Roster Isn't Going To Be Like ''OH MY GOD THIS ROSTER HAS 128 CHARACTERS AMAZING!'' Yeah, No. The Size Of Mine Is If They Made A Few More DLC Characters For Smash Bros Wii U. Not Too Big (Like Ridley), Not Too Small (Like Olimar). A Good 68 Characters (Including All 3 Mii Fighters). So, Here Is My Super Smash Bros Fan Roster!

See? Told You, It's Not A Giant Roster. And Yes, I Also I Have Characters That Are Probable For The Next Smash Bros.
Note 1: Yes, I Put Fawful In My Roster, But If You Don't Like It, Make Your Own Roster Then! Anyways, I Thought Fawful Could Represent The Mario RPGs And Even Though, I Think Geno Will Get In The Next Game (Because Of The Mii Costume).
But Anyways, I Have Two Reasons Of Why I Picked Him. One, He Is A Villain. Two, He Has A Massive Fan base.
Note 2: Now I Know I Placed Waluigi With Wario And Ashley, I'm Just Following What Smash Bros Wii U Stated. If Waluigi Is A Wario Series Character Then Fine. I Also Picked Waluigi Because Just Like Fawful, He Is A Villain And Waluigi's Fan Base Is Also Big. I Also Think That Waluigi Can Be A Very Fun Character To Play As. And Now For The Final Note.
Final Note: I Picked Ganon To Have Another Villain. And Not To Mention, If There Is Two Links And Two Zeldas, So Add Ganon And There You Go! 2 Of Every Zelda Series Character! And I Might Also Add That Ganon Would Definitely Not Be The Second ''Captain Falcondorf'' On The Roster. Plus, There Is No Pigs So, All To The Power For Ganon!
So, There Is My Smash Bros Fan Roster, I Hoped You Liked It. It Was Certainly Fun For Me To Make It!

See? Told You, It's Not A Giant Roster. And Yes, I Also I Have Characters That Are Probable For The Next Smash Bros.
Note 1: Yes, I Put Fawful In My Roster, But If You Don't Like It, Make Your Own Roster Then! Anyways, I Thought Fawful Could Represent The Mario RPGs And Even Though, I Think Geno Will Get In The Next Game (Because Of The Mii Costume).
But Anyways, I Have Two Reasons Of Why I Picked Him. One, He Is A Villain. Two, He Has A Massive Fan base.
Note 2: Now I Know I Placed Waluigi With Wario And Ashley, I'm Just Following What Smash Bros Wii U Stated. If Waluigi Is A Wario Series Character Then Fine. I Also Picked Waluigi Because Just Like Fawful, He Is A Villain And Waluigi's Fan Base Is Also Big. I Also Think That Waluigi Can Be A Very Fun Character To Play As. And Now For The Final Note.
Final Note: I Picked Ganon To Have Another Villain. And Not To Mention, If There Is Two Links And Two Zeldas, So Add Ganon And There You Go! 2 Of Every Zelda Series Character! And I Might Also Add That Ganon Would Definitely Not Be The Second ''Captain Falcondorf'' On The Roster. Plus, There Is No Pigs So, All To The Power For Ganon!
So, There Is My Smash Bros Fan Roster, I Hoped You Liked It. It Was Certainly Fun For Me To Make It!

[Swamp Sensei]

WHY WOULD YOU HAVE LUCINA (who's a clone) OVER CORRIN? (who's a unique character)

Because...

1. Opinions
2. Lucina can be Luigified like Roy.
3. Lucina herself is now one of the mascots of Fire Emblem. She attained that before Smash actually.

 

[wariohasdiabetes]

WHY WOULD YOU HAVE LUCINA (who's a clone) OVER CORRIN? (who's a unique character)

Well I Kinda Like Lucina More Than Corrin And Just Like Swampasaur Said, Maybe Lucina Can Have A Few Moves Changed To Be A Semi-Clone Like Luigi, Ike, Or Lucas. And Besides This Is My Roster If You Don't Like It, You Can Make Your Own, This Page Is For Sharing Rosters After all.

 

[Megadoomer]

DarkAuraful : looks like a good list of newcomers (with the exception of Daisy, who seems really unnecessary), though the list of cuts seems excessive. Greninja, Duck Hunt, Cloud, and especially Sonic seem like strange choices to remove. (As well as Corrin, seeing as you're removing or demoting Roy and Lucina)

Also, Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X are Nintendo owned IPs, and Bomberman is owned by Konami now (though they haven't actually done anything with the franchise since they bought out Hudson).

 

[Deleted member]

The games aren't related outside of the battle system which are already pretty different, you don't really need to play them in order

I see, if that's the case I'll start playing it soon.

Why you don't want Impa, Dark Samus, Black Shadow, A Gen 7/8 Grass Starter Pokemon or atleast Sceptile, Mega Man, Sonic, Duck Hunt, Greninja, Bandana Dee, Takamaru, Chorus Men, Toad/Captain Toad (depends if Peach's Neutral-B is changed or not), Corrin and Roy?
also WHY WOULD YOU LET MARIO HAVE 8 WHILING ZELDA AND POKEMON ONLY HAVE 5!!!!!!!!!

It's his roster... let him choose or cut whatever he wants not what you want.

 

[Megadoomer]

It's his roster... let him choose or cut whatever he wants not what you want.

I agree with this for the most part, but there comes a point where character cuts get excessive, or where leaving out certain characters doesn't really make sense.

Personally, I don't have a problem with the characters being added (though Daisy over Captain Toad or some form of Toad in general seems like a weird choice), but cutting a bunch of unique characters (including Sonic, who along with Mega Man is probably the closest a third party character can get to being basically considered a Nintendo character) seems a bit much.

[DarkAuraful]

DarkAuraful : looks like a good list of newcomers (with the exception of Daisy, who seems really unnecessary), though the list of cuts seems excessive. Greninja, Duck Hunt, Cloud, and especially Sonic seem like strange choices to remove. (As well as Corrin, seeing as you're removing or demoting Roy and Lucina)

Also, Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X are Nintendo owned IPs, and Bomberman is owned by Konami now (though they haven't actually done anything with the franchise since they bought out Hudson).

That's good to know for Xenoblade. Was Daisy unnecessary? I don't know. I'm not an expert, but hasn't she been appearing in Mario spinoffs? I don't follow the Mario series anymore, but I've seen her heavily requested. At least on gamefaqs so...

I've actually forgotten about Duck Hunt and Sonic, but you were probably right about Greninja and Cloud. Cloud does technically makes more sense than Terra since he's the poster boy for FF. I just wanted Terra to be in. According to the TC, we're only allowed to have 5 guest characters.

Thing is, I wasn't sure if the guest characters already in SSB4 were suppose to count as one of those 5 characters of our selection, but I went with that assumption.

I probably shouldn't have cut Greninja. I guess it makes sense because he's technically suppose to represent the new Pokemon game, so... Again, I'm not a Pokemon expert, but yeah I guess that's my con here.

For Corrin, I imagine him/her returning as DLC, but since FE is becoming more successful, it does make sense to make a FE rep for the next Smash. I just prefer Azura over Corrin because I wanted to at least have some weapon diversity in FE's rep.

Not saying Corrin's a generic swordsman with that dragon genetics and chainsaw sword, and he'd objectively make more sense than Azura, but eh. I at least kept Robin in because Awakening saved the Fire Emblem series.

Thanks for the criticism by the way. Not like I'm gonna have to experiment on my own roster 24/7, but time for some editing I suppose.

Why you don't want Impa, Dark Samus, Black Shadow, A Gen 7/8 Grass Starter Pokemon or atleast Sceptile, Mega Man, Sonic, Duck Hunt, Greninja, Bandana Dee, Takamaru, Chorus Men, Toad/Captain Toad (depends if Peach's Neutral-B is changed or not), Corrin and Roy?
also WHY WOULD YOU LET MARIO HAVE 8 WHILING ZELDA AND POKEMON ONLY HAVE 5!!!!!!!!!

Holy shnikies, kid. This is just for fun. I'm not an expert on roster making, so chill. LOL

I don't know much about Impa like Daisy, but I went with the assumption that Linkle's gonna make it big. I don't really follow Zelda much.

Likewise, I'm not an expert on the current Mario, Pokemon or Kirby series. So I can't say about Bandana Dee or Toad, but isn't Sceptile like last generation? Don't you think that if Pokemon was gonna get a new rep, it might as well be a new Pokemon from the next game?

I don't know anything about Takamaru or Chorus Men, so I can't say about them. Likewise, I don't follow F-Zero or Metroid. So sorry if it looks like I'm having bias in the roster.

Honestly, if anything, I follow the Fire Emblem series out of anything in Nintendo. I can imagine Roy and Corrin being DLC again, but like Pokemon, the next rep from FE has to be the main character from the next game.

This literally took like 30 minutes for me to make the roster, so I don't feel like arguing further about this. I'm not obligated to go 24/7 on my choices, but I will edit on this later.

Also, I actually forgot about Duck Hunt and Sonic. So sorry about that. LOL

EDIT: I already DID put Megaman as one of my guest characters. Did you happen to miss that? Or which Megaman did you think I was putting in? >.>

I Think This Would Be A Pretty Good Roster But I Think One Of The Only Ways That Daisy Can't Be A Clone Of Peach Is If She Represented The Mario Strikers Series. Also, I Think If Sonic Was Removed (I Really Don't Think That Will Happen Any Time Soon) I Do Think Dillion Would Make A Great Replacement Because, He Does A Spin-Dash Move In Dillion's Rolling Western.

what things do you agree with? and what things do you disagree with?

I'll go through it series by series, to be thorough and seeing as it's already divided that way.

Mario: even though it's Nintendo's flagship series, three newcomers at once seems a bit excessive. Keep some form of Toad, for sure (I prefer Captain Toad, but I can see the benefits of regular Toad as well), since he seems to be one of the few all-stars that's missing.

Expanded Mario Universe: no problems here. Waluigi seems like a good choice for a second Wario character; I know he hasn't appeared in Wario Land or Wario Ware, but he was listed under the Wario series when his assist trophy was first shown off, so there's reason to include him.

Donkey Kong: pretty straightforward - if DK is going to get any new characters (something that's long overdue), those two are easily the best choices.

Zelda: seems like a good list. Impa makes a lot of sense, and while Linkle seems like an odd choice, people have been asking for a female Link for a while, and even though I haven't seen Hyrule Warriors footage yet, she seems quite different from Link, which helps.

Metroid: no problems here either. I'd be concerned of the reactions that Dark Samus would get, especially after Dark Pit, but while I haven't finished Metroid Prime 3 (I got lost in the sky city and had to restart), Dark Samus seems like she'd be radically different compared to Samus based on Prime 2 alone. I feel like the Ridley controversy is overblown, and I'd have absolutely no problem if he was added, even if they had to scale him down.

Kirby: seems like a good list - Bandanna Dee seems to have become pretty prominent lately, so adding him makes sense.

Star Fox: I'm still not sure why Wolf was cut in the first place, so bringing him back seems like an obvious decision.

Pokemon: seems a bit premature to include a gen. 7 or 8 grass starter in the list, when you don't even know if, or how well, they'd work for Smash. Also, why bring back Pichu?

Earthbound: no changes, which is understandable

F-Zero: quick question - would Black Shadow inherit Ganondorf's old moveset while Ganondorf gets a new one, or would he have his own moves?

Fire Emblem: I like that you kept one of the Marth clones; it's nice to have options. For Smash 4, six Fire Emblem characters seemed excessive, but as long as other franchises also get attention, I'd have less of a problem with it for a future game.

Kid Icarus: I get why Dark Pit was cut, and Pit and Palutena are the core cast, so it makes sense to keep them both. I feel like a character from Uprising could be added, though - there was a lot of Kid Icarus content in Smash 4 (probably too much, seeing as it only has three games, and people only remember two of them), but without Smash Run next time around, that takes out a lot of it, and other series will have time to catch up. I haven't finished Uprising yet, so I'm not sure who to suggest.

Miscellaneous: good amount of new series added, and no cuts from what I can see. Not sure if we need both Inkling and Octoling, though Splatoon is really popular (especially in Japan), so I suppose it could be justified. What would Mach Rider and Chorus Men be able to do?

Third Party: I feel like Bayonetta would be preferable over Tails; then again, seeing as I voted for her, I might be biased. I just figure that it's better to show off a wider variety of series, and raise interest among Nintendo fans, as opposed to adding more characters to a third party series that's already in the game. I'd also prefer Snake over Bomberman, but then that would leave the roster with only one third party newcomer (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but given the overwhelmingly positive reaction that third party characters got in this game, it might make things less exciting). Then again, there's no reason why you couldn't have both - Bayonetta and Ryu are proof of that.

That's good to know for Xenoblade. Was Daisy unnecessary? I don't know. I'm not an expert, but hasn't she been appearing in Mario spinoffs? I don't follow the Mario series anymore, but I've seen her heavily requested. At least on gamefaqs so...

I've actually forgotten about Duck Hunt and Sonic, but you were probably right about Greninja and Cloud. Cloud does technically makes more sense than Terra since he's the poster boy for FF. I just wanted Terra to be in. According to the TC, we're only allowed to have 5 guest characters.

Thing is, I wasn't sure if the guest characters already in SSB4 were suppose to count as one of those 5 characters of our selection, but I went with that assumption.

I probably shouldn't have cut Greninja. I guess it makes sense because he's technically suppose to represent the new Pokemon game, so... Again, I'm not a Pokemon expert, but yeah I guess that's my con here.

For Corrin, I imagine him/her returning as DLC, but since FE is becoming more successful, it does make sense to make a FE rep for the next Smash. I just prefer Azura over Corrin because I wanted to at least have some weapon diversity in FE's rep.

Not saying Corrin's a generic swordsman with that dragon genetics and chainsaw sword, and he'd objectively make more sense than Azura, but eh. I at least kept Robin in because Awakening saved the Fire Emblem series.

Thanks for the criticism by the way. Not like I'm gonna have to experiment on my own roster 24/7, but time for some editing I suppose.

There's support for Daisy on GameFAQs, sure, but 99% of it comes from the same person, an obsessive Daisy fan who's been banned from places like Reddit for that sort of thing. She appears in Mario spin-offs, but there isn't much to take from there that couldn't also be used for other characters.

As for third parties, the opening post is outdated (it was made before Ryu, Cloud, and Bayonetta were added); I don't believe people in this thread strictly limit third party additions, as long as you don't go overboard. (personally, I've got a total of nine in my dream roster)

If you want to add Terra, go right ahead; I feel like they planned for the possibility of more Final Fantasy characters in later games, seeing as they made Cloud's icon a generic FF as opposed to something specific to Final Fantasy 7, like the meteor or something. Personally, I'd like Terra to be in too; I'd love to see Final Fantasy's magic system get shown off, and her Esper mode seems like a perfect fit for a Final Smash.

Fair point on Corrin; it would be nice to get something other than sword-users for the Fire Emblem roster. (even Robin and Corrin fall into that category, despite being different compared to the others) Personally, I wasn't a huge fan of his inclusion to begin with, though I felt like it would have been more acceptable if we didn't already have five other FE characters in the game.

Still, thanks for the response, and explaining your choices. There's a program called Smash Bros. Roster Maker that allows you to create rosters easily (you can upload the picture to websites like Imgur in order to post them here), which might make it quicker/easier to make and post changes to your roster: http://smashboards.com/threads/the-super-smash-bros-roster-maker-version-9-1-available.336761/ Hopefully that helps.
