New Series By Fives - 1st Party

[mewtwo_to_you_too]

Hey Smash Community! Recently, I started a thread called "Existing Series By Fives - A Fun Challenge" where I compiled all the series already included in Super Smash Bros. and made a list of 5 characters that are either likely to make it in with a few I just wanted to make it into Ultimate's roster. I got a ton of help cleaning things up and refining the selections to the best choices (big shout outs to FunAtParties and Ninja Fisto!!!!). This time around, I'm making things a little more interesting and doing the 1st Party Nintendo Series that have yet to be included. The rules are simple: 1) Make Five selections per series that are either most likely or have a ton of love. 2) If the choice you made is a little obscure or not as likely, give a brief explanation. 3) DEBATE but please be respectful because these are just opinions and 75% of the choices made really have no chance. As easy as it may be to come up with a list for some series, others can be really difficult and it almost becomes a fun test of your gaming knowledge. I'll toss up my own lists but make changes and additions if your evidence is compelling enough. I'll give shout outs to those that convince me to make changes to the lists.

HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK!

This time around I'm going to put up some franchises and letting you all create the lists with a few of my own selections being updated later. So here we go!

ARMS
1) Spring Man - He is the face of the game so I'm definitely in support of him the most.
2) Helix - Out of all the potential fighters from this game, I think this guy has the most potential to be unique. He's made of Flubber, after all.
3) Master Mummy - Smash needs more heavies and this would be an interesting way to provide one.
4) Min Min - She's a fan favorite for a reason.
5) Byte & Barq - Personal bias, as the duo is my main whenever I play ARMS. I have no idea how they'd play.

Chibi-Robo
1) Chibi-Robo - I mean, it's kind of obvious.
2) Telly - Chibi-Robo's main supporter. I'm sure he could have an interesting moveset.
3) Drake Redcrest - This would basically be giving a Tatsunoko superhero a moveset.
4) The Ketchup & Mustard Sous Chef Duo - I forget their names but I'm sure they'd shake up the competition.
5) One Of Those Mini Chibi-Robos - I could be like Link and Young Link!

Star Tropics
Mike Jones (Protagonist)
Zoda (Main Villian)

I want to do Golden Sun but I've only played the first game.

For Chibi-Robo, the two most obvious choices are Chibi-Robo and Drake Redcrest. It gets harder after them, but I'd say Sarge next, since he's been in two games and one of the Free Rangers has been in a third. After that, I'd like to see Miasmo, the villain from Park Patrol, and for a fifth, maybe Sgt. Smoggolor as an echo fighter for Drake Redcrest. Telly's an important character, but I can't picture him fighting.
To summarize, that's
Chibi-Robo
Drake Redcrest
Sarge
Miasmo
Sgt. Smoggolor

Anyone who's played Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ranger would be able to tell you that Dillon and the three mercenaries. Other than them, Russ is in the same boat as Telly, but I can't think of anyone else, so my five picks would be:
Dillon
Gallo
Boone
Nomad
Russ

And as for the Legendary Starfy, I have to say that Old Man Lobber seems to me to be one of the best choices that series has for a character.

For Golden Sun, there are really only three realistic possibilities all things considered. Obviously there's Isaac, the face of the series, the protagonist of the first game and secondary protagonist of the second, also a supporting NPC in the third. He's been highly requested and if we're to get any type of representation in Ultimate, that's likely the character we're gonna end up seeing.

After that it gets kind of difficult to make any actual predictions because getting Isaac alone would be more than enough for everybody. I'd say if Isaac ends up getting an Echo, Felix, the main protagonist of the second game, would be the most likely candidate. He and Isaac both share the same class and have similar stats across the board. Another possibility would be Isaac's son, Matthew, the protagonist of the third game. Again, they basically share the same stats and class. I'm not sure how well he would work as an echo though since his design pretty much mirrors Isaac's to a tee. And really, who needs more than two blond anime swordfighters in one game?

After that actual realistic newcomers get kind of sparse. The two names on here aren't representative by any means because we'll see neither of them in a Smash Bros. game anytime soon. Jenna is an important character to the series, being one of the most significant NPCs in the first game and one of the secondary protagonists of the second game. Just like how Isaac and co. are so-called Venus Adepts who can control earth, she's also an adept herself. As a Mars Adept she can control fire and would be a pretty fun addition to the game, however unlikely she ultimately is.

The last one is kind of a wildcard but as he's basically the major antagonist of the series, he's probably more likely than a number of other characters. Alex is a Mercury Adept which means he can control the powers of water, he's cunning, intimidating, and everything you love to hate in a villain. You never get to fight him over the course of the three games though, which makes his inclusion in any type of Smash game that much more unlikely. He has one big advantage over other villains though and that's the fact that he's been in all three games in one way or another.

Golden Sun
- Isaac
- Felix
- Matthew
- Jenna
- Alex

Starfy has a ton of good choices for characters, Old Man Lobber, even though he has potential, would be pretty low on my list.

Starly is the obvious one, Starfy clone, with a few unique abilities. Shurikit, and Kittana both teach Starfy how to do some attacks, and both have very fighter friendly designs, but they're fairly minor characters. Ogura, his children, and Mashtooth are all enemy characters that can be playable. Mashtooth is the more known one to western audiences, Ogura is the main one up to a certain point of the series, both would work well as fighters imo. Moe is the sidekick of the series, but giving him an entire moveset would be a stretch and he fits better as a Starfy attack, or possibly an AT. Bunston, who helps Starfy transform in TLS, is really in the same boat as Moe. Then Old Man Lobber comes in, who has a boss battle to take ideas from. Actually he's a pretty good choice all things considered.

Damm I love Starfy
