I know the game has already been released, so many people may see this thread as kind of pointless, but I am interested in other people's opinions and ideas. Basically, the point in this thread is too post what your ideal roster for Smash bros 4 would be. I'll start this off by posting mine, and I'll put my reasoning behind it.
I tried keeping the roster pretty much the same size as the one we actually got, and I think I did that pretty well. I actually left out a lot of characters I would want due to this, and will be updating it soon with a bigger roster, this roster will be with the idea that Nintendo chose to have more characters in the Wii-U version. (obviously not a reality, but that's what the next roster I post will be based on.)
I'll start with an explanation on the bottom characters who are not attached. I think Pichu should be playable as an alternate on pikachu, just like how alph is, (and the koopalings. ) It can keep it's different moveset, but I don't think it needs its own slot. Dark pit should be selectable from pit in my opinion, again he can keep his different moveset, just does not need his own slot. Dr. Mario as obvious, in my opinion should be selectable from mario, again he can keep his moveset. Finally, I think Lucina should be selectable from marth, since there movesets are almost identical, if not completely identical?
Now, I shall start from the top left. Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser are all good choices in my opinion. I think it would be cool if we also had the option of choosing birdo, as it has always been the other version of Yoshi. It could have a slightly different moveset. Next, I'm cool with Rosalina and Bowser Jr being on the roster. That goes for wario too. I decided to add Toad, as I think it's about time he showed up. Sure a lot of people will disagree. I think Toadette should be an alternate for him. Donkey kong is cool, and has been there since the beginning, so I'm keeping him in. Same goes for diddy, although I think dixie with a slightly different moveset should be an alternate to diddy. Link should be playable along with zelda and ganon, although I think shiek should be selectable from zelda's slot, instead of having it's own. Toon link should be his own slot, as many people have pointed out he's a different person. I think Toon zelda with an alternate of tetra should be playable, as it would only make sense. I think samus should be playable, with zero suit samus selectable from selecting samus. And of course Ridley. Pit and Palutena make it back, and as I stated Dark pit can be selected from pit. Marth with lucina selectable from him, Ike, Robin, and Roy are all selectable as well. Next, we have kirby, king dedede and meta knight. Fox, Falco, and Wolf. Pikachu, Charizard, Jigglypuff, Greninja and Mewtwo. Duck hunt dog, Ness, Lucas, Captain Falcon, Villager and everyone else onward are self explanatory.
I do think they could have brought back Roy, Pichu and Mewtwo, as well as Wolf and Lucas. Looking at this, I have two more things to add. Young link would work well if he was selectable from regular link in my opinion, and Daisy could be an alternate for peach.
Anyways thanks for reading all this, and post your own ideas. Oh, and try and make them realistic if you want.
Edit: Removed Toon zelda/tetra and replaced with skull kid. Added Ivysaur,Squirtle and Lucario. Added Daisy as an alternate to peach. Added young link as an alternative to link.
Added Solid Snake and moved the star fox crew.'
Edit 17/09/2014: I updated all of the icons and stuff. I also added all the alternates already in smash 4 as I think they should stay. (Alph, koopalings etc.) other than that nothing new.
Edit 20/09/2014: I switched out skull kid for Midna as I think she would be better for now. I also updated everyone with better artwork.
Edit 20/09/2014 (later in the day) : I updated everyone's artwork. Now everyone has a dojo styled picture.
