Hey all, yeah, no one knows me, but I'm going to be doing a prediction thread regardless. Make fun of it if you wish, but this is what I honestly believe is going to be in Brawl.
Shorthand List
MARIO SERIES
=45 Movesets, 43 Selectable Characters
IN DEPTH
Mario *CONFIRMED*
Luigi: Mario's brother, puts the bros in Smash Bros.
Peach *CONFIRMED*
Bowser *CONFIRMED*
Bowser Jr.: This little guy has been getting more and more popular and getting bigger ad bigger roles, he would have a unique moveset and would be a great addition to the Smash Bros line-up.
Link *CONFIRMED*
Zelda *CONFIRMED*
Sheik: Part of Zelda's FS. It only makes sense. If no one uses Zelda, justgive her another spot on the roster. Being a part of Zelda's FS would add a nice strategic influence to the game.
Ganondorf: Main villian of Zelda, shoe-in.
Young Link (CS): Represents a whole different branch of the Zelda series. Huge fan base, very popular worldwide. Completely new moveset possible.
Midna: Going along with the TP theme, we have the TP herself. Without Wolf Link, she still has multitudes of possible movesets. Her powers include transforming, teleporting, dark magic, and hovering.
Pikachu *CONFIRMED*
PKMN Trainer *CONFIRMED*
Jigglypuff: Has been in every smash, I don't like her, but she is a shoe-in. Don't get it but w/e.
Mewtwo: "Villian-like" role, pretty popular, makes sense.
Lucario: Only rep that makes sense that isn't from the first generation, humanoid shape, insanley popular, makes sense. 5 reps is fair, one under Mario. PKMN is one of Nintendo's top-selling and most popular franchises, like it or not!
Fox *CONFIRMED*
Falco: Argueably the most popular character of the franchise. Was in Melee, new moveset capabilities.
Wolf: Fox's rival, best person to use to represent the "evil" side of Star Fox. Krystal would be great and all, but if Fox, Falco, and Krystal were in, then there would be no darker aspect, and would beg the question, where's Slippy? Overall, I think most people prefer Wolf anyways.
Kirby *CONFIRMED*
King Dedede *CONFIRMED*
Meta Knight *CONFIRMED*
Lucas *CONFIRMED*
Ness: Come on, he's been here since the beginning. I say give him a new moveset. Claus would be cool and all, but you simply cannot get rid of Ness.
Donkey Kong *CONFIRMED*
Diddy Kong *CONFIRMED*
King K. Rool: As the most prominent villian of this major series, he needs to be included.
Yoshi *CONFIRMED*
Captain Falcon: How can you have smash without the good captains infamous FALCON PUNCH!!!???
Wario *CONFIRMED*
Pit *CONFIRMED*
Ice Climbers *CONFIRMED*
Mr. G&W: As the most unique melee fighter, he should mos def be included in Brawl, he deserves it.
Andy: The most popular member of a series spanning 10+ games, it is about time Nintendo Wars gets a rep. This series is continually growing and evolving. Andy could fight with his wrenches and use his forces to combat the enemy.
Ike *CONFIRMED*
Marth: He's the FE Lord that started it all. Way back in FE 1&2, he is the only Lord to be featured in more then one game. You can't have FE without Marth. Like it or not, he should be in the game (who doesn't like it? So what two blue haired swordsmen???)
Ephraim: The Lord in the extremely underrated Sacred Stones GBA game, he is one of the only Lords to use a Lance. He would be unique and fun to use. Although, if he doesn't get in then Micaiah has a great shot. I simply felt as though you should represent the GBA FE's with a character, and with Lyndis no longer an option, and Eliwood another swordsman, Ephraim had a good chance.
Samus *CONFIRMED*
ZSS *CONFIRMED*
Ridley: Villian of Metroid series, badass, deserves it, end o' story.
Captain Olimar: Hero of one of the most memorable GCN titles ever, Pikmin and Pikmin 2. Size does not matter, he has a great shot and would make a fantastic moveset.
Tom Nook: Here's a controversial one! Yeah, he IS in the background of Smashville, no it doesn't matter. We've had Fox in backgrounds, Falcon in backgrounds, and we've had 4 Bowser's fighting each other. Honestly, that should not matter. Nook is a great character, and AC should have a rep. Heck, they have a stage and items!!! He could use Slingshots, Shovels, Nets, Axes, assorted furniture items, and much more! Obviously Sakurai feels AC has a place in Brawl, so he will fit.
Sonic *CONFIRMED*
Snake *CONFIRMED*
Geno: It doesn't matter if he's no longer popular, neither were Ice Climbers. Since he was so high on Sakurai's poll, it's almost a shoe-in...but then again, we all thought Megaman was too...
