I recently redesigned mine. it has a few sections. I put some extra pics on for my own memory, I only want you to judge the roster part for realism.
OK - Main roster. First things first -
50 characters seems a bit large to me, jut imo. a lot of these characters are already more than one, zelda/PT/samus, so with this we're already at 50. gotta remember the 3DS version
Odd character out - RAY01 - probably the least likely character I've included, but I like to think smash is about bringing in as many unique and iconic first party nintendo games together as possible. Sure, custom robo hasn't seen the light in a while, but he was an assist trophy in brawl, so he is remembered. He's definitely unique enough, and the games just hold a special place in my heart.
Isaac - recent golden sun game + isaac was an AT in brawl + cool psychic powers, seems legit
now let me explain the bottom right box - the costumes. with the male fit trainer reveal, a whole new opportunity reveals itself - costumes.
Personally, I hate the idea of dixie kong as a new DK rep, too similar to diddy in physical build imo. why not just make her a diddy costume?
the other boxes near her are other costume ideas, all fairly self explanatory. Sure, some of the overlays aren't perfect, but if it meant extra characters without clones? I'd dig it.
The top right is my i have no idea which mario character to include box. I personally don't think toad has a shot, but i like him. I think waluigi would be a bit of a waste, he's really just a stock character for mario parties. Rosalina would be interesting, but I think she's slightly outclassed by both bowser jr and paper mario. If i had to choose between the two of them I'd probably pick paper mario, but i honestly don't think the roster needs another mario rep at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it got one, but...
moving right along to the bottom middle, this is my no pls section. these are characters I've looked at, and replied with no pls.
let me explain my hatred for takamaru. look at the fire emblem section right now. what do we have? 3 blue haired swordsmen. we do not need a fourth. this game is about variety. it's not super blue haired sword fighters melee.
shulk and lloyd follow a similar suits. sure, they aren't as similar, but I already yielded and included little mac. honestly I think between the three of them only one deserves a spot. I was close to picking shulk but I'm pretty sure the boxing stage is crying little mac.
Pac man. ugh. don't get me started. Pacman with arms and legs is an abomination, a crime against nature. Sakurai has expressed his liking of the classic megaman, the snes version. this wouldn't translate as well with pac man.
Palutena - I just don't understand why so many people have flocked around this character. she just doesn't feel like she belongs in smash. she's not a fighter. kid icarus doesn't even deserve a second rep. not before FZero, which has been here since the 64, at least.
Mii - There's just no actual character here, it's like playing as the stock facebook profile picture. I'd rather we include more nintendo IP's.
finally, the bottom left box. This is my I would love any of these characters but seriously doubt them.
looking back, maybe roy doesn't belong there, I'm really not sure what sakurai intends to do with the fire emblem line up. not sure they deserve 3 characters, don't think ike will be cut, don't think chrom will be ignored, where does that leave roy?
Please put a number on my insomnia : )
