I suppose we should try and finish this game no? Well, let's start now! So we can play again, with a little twist on it.
Okay, here we have our current roster of characters:
At this point, I want people to point out a few they think SHOULD be cut, with REASONING behind it. Just saying "cut x, y, and z" won't count as much. Especially since we're coming down to the wire. Your reasoning is going to be judged by me, so let me tell you right now. "They are boring/will be a clone" are bad reasoning.
You can cut veterans, it's just harder to do. We've had people so far try and cut Toon Link, Ike, and Lucario.
This isn't what Smash is PROBABLY going to look like, it's what WE think it SHOULD look like.
If you see a character not up here that you would like to be, please, write up a small paragraph explaining why they should be added to the roster. If it's good, I'll slap them back on here.
Do not have the VS. mentality This is not Mewtwo vs. Lucario vs. Zoroark, or Krystal vs. Goroh, or even Ghirahim vs. Toon Link. Just tell me who you would like to see cut, and why.
If someone is gunning after your character, defend them. Give me reasons for them to stay. I have a list, containing pros and cons for some characters people have brought up.
Remember, it's ust for fun, so relax. If you be a *****, you might as well not play.
Now, without FURTHER DELAY, here is the current roster:
Keep
[collapse=Toad]He should stay. Just because there are haters around bashing him with their opinions (Not Holder, he's cool), doesn't mean he does not deserve to get in. Heck, there are more fans than haters. You obviously know that. Lol
He also is prominent in the Mario series appearing in almost every Mario game despite it being not obvious. He may got the smallest roles from the N64 to the GC era but in the Wii to Wii U era, Toad has noticeable and major roles. In Mario Galaxy, he appears in almost in EVERY galaxy trying to find the power stars. Heck, he even finds them first to mario at times. In New Super Mario Wii, he was also planned to be playable BUT since Peach, Wario and Waluigi could not become playable, Nintendo was left with Toad so they made 2 toads of different colors and made them playable.
Toad, like all candidates, has the huge potential to be unique. His standard attacks can be based on his super strength and super speed however, he'll have short range of course (Cannot predict if Toad will have disjointed range). As stated in Mario bros. 2, he has horrible jumping ability which could mean that he has low jumps in Smash Bros. which may balance his strong and quick attacks. He also has power over spores and mushrooms and use them as shields or weapons as seen in Smash bros., Mario tennis 64 and Mario Sports Mix. He can also jump from walls (Galaxy) and run on walls (Wario Woods). Lastly, Toad can do what Mario can do as shown in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. and Super Mario 3D which might make him have a quite similar moveset as the Mario Bros. Hehe...
So yeah, Toad can be the most or the least unique character in your eyes however, I honestly think he should not be cut from the roster because he's one of the more requested and *cough*... Likely characters. He was missing one thing during the brawl speculation. Big guns = Roles. Now he has 'em.[/collapse]
[collapse=Ghirahim]Ghirahim has a huge *** fanbase. So the popularity **** is pretty covered. Some people say that he might end up like Vaati or Midna. It might actually be true but who knows?
Anyway, the reason why you should keep Ghirahim is because he's
fabulous one of the candidates that have the potential to be unique. His normals are based on his sword skills and his kicks. He also has magic darts, teleportation and (I don't know what you call this) a hand that can hold swords.
And that's about it. For more reasons, maybe ask Holder. I think he too wants Ghirahim to be kept in.[/collapse]
The rest of the newcomers are kept. Too lazy to post reasons since it was probably posted in the past. Lol.
Cut:
[collapse=Bowser Jr.]OKAY. He's still one of the slightly likely characters however, him being a sub boss in the recent games kind of made him not so important. Looking at how he's used as a sub boss, he can be a boss in Smash bros. 4. His moveset potential is also great but he might be a semi clone or a clone of his dad. After all, he's known for being the little bowser right? The only thing that makes him unique is the paintbrush. His paintbrush can be used in his specials while he possibly may have the same moveset as his dad only with different attributes. Despite that, he does not have much differences compared to his dad. Lastly, he has a fanbase although it's dying down from what I or most people have seen.[/collapse]
[collapse=Slime and Layton]They're both highly requested... However, the main problem is that they are not as requested as Megaman and obviously, Sonic. I think that's it. That's what should keep them from getting in the roster other than them being 3rd party.[/collapse]
[collapse=Tom Nook]He would be an interesting addition however, he's not all that deserving to get in since not much people request him to become a fighter (I'm one of them). Unlike the crosser who's been... CROSSED OUT ALREADY
(Ba-dum-tsing), Nook has a slight chance of getting in. Unfortunately, the thing that keeps him off his the fact that he DOES NOT FIGHT.[/collapse]
[collapse=Zoroark]He's pretty much the same as Jr. He's one of the slightly likely characters however, he has problems that halt him. The possibility of a 6th gen character.... The 6th gen might come first but who knows? If it won't come then expect Zoroark. His fate POSSIBLY may lean on this problem which no one probably cares about (Only me, I think).[/collapse]
Now I am off
