The Current Roster plus Bandana Dee, the Big Three, and Layton.
That would be cool.

I'd have to kill you for the overload of KI characters and removal of several characters lol


Okay, I'm gonna try a 60 character roster



This would be the starting roster. I'm pulling a Brawl/3DS/Wii U here



And this would be the full roster. Below, are the alt attires that characters can play (yes, I included Roy for a reason). I really wanted Lyn in, but Lucina was enough for me to be satisfied. Seeing that she was originally a Marth alt, Lyn would take her spot and Lucina makes alt attires.

Here is how to unlock the characters:

Jigglypuff: Beat Classic mode with any character or play Vs. 50 times

Ness: Beat Classic mode with Lucas or play Vs. mode 100 times

Meta Knight: Complete Target Test #1 with any character or play Vs. mode 150 times

Falco: Beat Classic mode with Fox on 5.0 difficulty within 20 minutes or play Vs. mode 200 times

Wario: Beat Classic mode with Mario on 5.0 difficulty or higher without continues or play Vs. 300 times

Dixie Kong: Beat Classic mode on 6.0 difficulty in less than 15 minutes or play Vs. mode 400 times

Lyn: Win Event Match #8 or play Vs. mode 500 times

Luigi: Survive 3 Minute Mii Fighters or play Vs. mode 600 times

Ganondorf: Win Event Match #23 on Normal mode or play Vs. mode 700 times

Toon Link: Complete Target Test #3 with 15 characters or play Vs. mode 750 times

Vaati: Beat 15 Minute Mii Fighters or play Vs. mode 800 times

Rosalina: Beat Event Match #29 on Normal modeor play Vs. mode 900 times

Mr. Game & Watch: Beat Classic mode with 20 characters or play Vs. mode 1000 times

Takamaru: Beat 100-Man Mii Fighters or play Vs. mode 1100 times

Isaac: Beat Classic mode with 15 characters or play Vs. mode 1200 times

Medusa: Beat Classic mode with Pit and Palutena at 7.0 difficulty or higher or play Vs. mode 1300 times

Dillon: Defeat 20 Mii Fighters or play Vs. mode 1350 times

Waddle Dee: Beat Classic mode with Kirby 10 times or play Vs. mode 1400 times

Robin: Beat 50 Mii Fighters in Endless mode or play Vs. mode 1500 times

Wolf: Beat Classic mode with 20 characters or play Vs. mode 1600 times

Lucario: Beat Classic mode with all Pokemon characters, or play Vs. mode 1700 times

Bowser Jr: Beat Classic mode with Bowser on 7.0 difficulty or higher three times or play Vs. mode 1800 times

R.O.B.: Beat Classic mode with 25 characters or play Vs. mode 1900 times

Mega Man: Beat Target Test #4 with 20 characters or play Vs. 2000 times

Duck Hunt Dog: Beat Classic mode with 35 characters or play Vs. mode 2100 times

King K. Rool: Beat Event Match #55 on Hard mode or play Vs. mode 2150 times

Mewtwo:Beat Classic mode on 9.0 without continuing or play Vs. 2200 times

Pac-Man: Beat Classc mode with 40 characters or play Vs. mode 2300 times

Ridley: Beat Classic mode with 55 characters or play Vs. 2400 times

Mike Jones: Beat Classic mode with every other character or play Vs. 2500 times


Maybe that's just me, but I like to unlock more characters as the game progress
Really like you're roster. Except I have no clue who that Mike guy is.

Just going from Smash 4, here's what I'd do. For most series, I'd be more about adding popular characters, substituting movesets and eliminating clones.

Subtract
- Dr. Mario (still an alt costume)
- Lucina (still an alt costume)
- Dark Pit (still an alt costume)
- Sheik (Lemme explain)
- Robin (Lemme explain)
- Toon Link
- Falco (Can be a Fox alt costume)
- Greninja
- Lucario

Add
- Impa (Replaces Sheik's moveset with an alternate Final Smash)
- Tharja (Replaces Robin's moveset)
- Ridley
- Dixie Kong
- Krystal
- Wolf
- Hades
- Ice Climbers
- Mewtwo
- Monkey (From Rhythm Heaven)
- Inkling (From Splatoon)
- Slime (From Dragon Quest)
- Master Higgins (From Adventure Island)

I like most of this, except Robin being gone. o A o maybe at Tharja as an alt for Robin, as she would use tomes as well.

I'm never a fan of giant rosters, I feel it looks kind of overloaded but that's just me. I count like... 11 Mario reps and while there's just only 6 Pokemon reps, huh?
Each of those Mario reps represent a specific spin-off. Outside of adding either Grovyle or Sceptile I can't think of any other pokemon that would have any big significance that are not a pokeball pokemon or enemy already. If you can make an ideal roster it is best to go all in. Mine is made up of most of the highly requested characters around the web and some I always wanted. Can't go wrong with that lol.

If people didn't like Dixie, Geno, Daisy, Toad, Dr. Mario, Dark Pit (for whatever reason), and Mach Rider...They would not be on my list tbh.

Only minus for me would be Mii Fighters - just not a fan at all as I see the whole Mii concept as a huge fad - I barely even care about creating my own Mii now on my Wii U - it was fun five years ago when I got a Wii, sure...real slow of Nintendo to only now integrate them into games...kind of like a parent trying to keep hip to be honest

I'd say the current roster with the following additions:

Protoman alt costume for Mega Man
Dry Bowser alt costume for Bowser
Wolf alt costume for Fox
Lucas alt costume for Ness
Dixie Kong alt costume for Diddy

The Big Three
For Pokemon - I would love to see the ability to evolve Pokemon characters - basically include alternate costumes and based on the costume you'd have access to certain custom moves. I'd include all four "original" starters (Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Pikachu), Mewtwo, obviously, and one additional rep from each series that provides a different element type
Professor Layton - just a huge fan of the Layton games, I've bought all six of the main series and seen the movie
Impa
Crono - I know his rights are in flux, he's one of the best characters to ever grace a Nintendo console and it's a shame they can't get him - I'd play a fighter game that only featured the 7 playables from CT actually...
Spider-Man - Because why the hell not if all of the above is already in

I'd keep everyone on the current roster. Yes, even you, Dark Pit. If possible, him and the other two clones would be more Luigified like Falco, Ganondorf, and Toon Link.

I'll add wishlist characters based on series.

Mario - Paper Mario
Donkey Kong - Dixie Kong, K. Rool
Zelda - Impa
Metroid - Ridley, Dark Samus
Fire Emblem - Roy
StarFox - Wolf
Pokemon - Mewtwo
Earthbound - Lucas
F-Zero - Black Shadow
Golden Sun - Isaac
Ice Climbers - Ice Climbers
Metal Gear - Snake

And if third party is allowed...
Sonic - Knuckles

Additional Alts/Skins:
Ocarina of Time skins for Link, Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf
Hyrule Warriors skin for Ganondorf
Shiny Pokemon skins for Pokemon who do not have them
Dry Bowser skin for Bowser
White Yoshi skin for Yoshi
Banjo-Kazooie colors for Duck Hunt (or at least similar looking)
Ms. Pac-Man alt for Pac-Man
Protoman alt for Mega Man

Cut:
Rosalina
Palutena
Duck Hunt Dog
Dark Pit
Mii Fighters

Add:
Dixie Kong
King K. Rool
Ridley
Dark Samus
Wolf
Ivysaur
Squirtle
Snake

Mind you this is extremely subjective, if I went for something that'd please the general conseus I wouldn't have made some of the cuts or inclusions that I did.

51 characters, every character returns from Brawl except Lucas and Ice Climbers. Cutting Rosalina, Palutena and Duck Hunt Dog (all three out-prioritized) allows me to add Dixie Kong (unique), King K. Rool and Ridley. Cutting Mii Fighters cuts three movesets, so I use that to bring back Wolf, Ivysaur and Squirtle. I replaced Dark Pit with a more desirable and unique dark clone, that being Dark Samus. I sprinkled a little magic to make Snake return to the fray.

I'm somewhat surprised that you're cutting two unique characters. Pitto I can understand, but why remove them? Not that I'm criticizing, just curious
Well, it's a 100% subjective roster, so when I built it I simply dragged in some characters I wanted and had to prioritize certain existing characters, just so happens that I don't see the appeal of Palutena and Rosalina. Believe me, if I had to make a roster that cattered to the general audience more I'd never have cut them.

I'd say keep the current roster, plus the following as DLC:
Bandana Waddle Dee
Mewtwo
Fiora (her Mechon-augmented form from the second half of the game)
Snake
I guess maybe Isaac too.

On a side note, I wouldn't mind seeing Aeron from Pandora's Tower as a probably Wii U-only Assist Trophy, along with a trophy of Zael from The Last Story and some more third party trophies like Neku or Slime or somesuch.
...KOS-MOS Assist Trophy? Since both Monolith and Namco are involved soooo

Here's my 59-characters roster.

Cut characters: the clones (Dr. Mario, Lucina and Dark Pit) who will become alternate costumes as they were imagined in the beginning.

Added characters:
- Toad (the only major character from the Super Mario platformers that's still missing)
- Dixie Kong (her helicopter hair can be an interesting gimmick)
- King K. Rool (one of the Big Three and a villain, would be cool to use)
- Midna (another interesting and beloved character, she could play in a tag team with a wolf)
- Ridley (does it need any explanation?)
- Tharja (I'm a bit biased, since she's one of my favorite characters of Awakening, but a 100% mage character could be interesting. Maybe she could focus on moves that leech the "energy" from the opponents)
- Wolf (rescued from Brawl)
- Krystal (of course, she would weild her elemental staff)
- Ice Climbers (rescued from Brawl)
- Mewtwo (rescued from Melee)
- Lucas (rescued from Brawl)
- Inkling (it would be a way to promote Splatoon, and the human/squid gimmick could provide a unique character)
- KOS-MOS (she's Namco's poster girl and incredibly popular in Japan, and she comes from the "Xeno" games like Shulk)



Other alternative costumes:
- Chrom (alternate Ike)
- Alph (alternate Olimar)
- Koopalings (alternate Bowser Jr.)
- Dry Bowser (alternate Bowser)
- Daisy (alternate Peach)
- Ninten (alternate Ness)

On my way to steal your girl.

Heh. 71 characters and I still can go on.

The girl under Ganondorf is Cia unmasked (from Hyrule Warriors) , the girl under Wii Fit Trainer is Aisya (from Archaic Sealed Heat). I've found/edited a lot of these, and still don't have a complete, in style collection. If anybody has sprites of the characters listed on the right please PM me with them if you can c:

I plan on making a pretty CSS with these once I'm finished.

I made this to look at when the character select screen order annoys me too much.

Just look at it. Such beautiful organisation...

Why cut basically everyone to add old characters? Rosalina, Robin, Lucina, Greninja and Wii-Fit Trainer are all new. I guess I understand Lucina cause her move-set is a clone. But other than that I don't get why you would remove those people. Oops XD Reading further I understand. I agree with you. Dr mario, Young link, Toon link and Lucina should be alternates, instead of there own slot.



I made an effort to keep it similar to the officially confirmed roster.
That's a nice looking roster. I love Toad for some reason, even if he's just a weird-ass mushroom man. I think he should be in a future smash bros, whether it be captain toad or just toad.




Unlockables in order from left to right:

Bowser Jr. : Clear Classic Mode with Bowser

So you're ideal roster is the same but better positioning? XD I see..

Pac-Man - Ms. Pac-Man

This is my dream one with 99 characters:



Again, just a dream.
More like a nightmare. Just Ike and Robin from fire emblem? ; u ; and some random villager animal...I'm just kidding though, it's you're personal roster so I have no gripes. I said post you're ideal roster. So it's cool to see everyone's different ideas. Ravio should be playable! I just realize, he could use all the items from his shop in his attacks. And his bird could do something to. XD (the one that grabs you re items when you die) Yuga would be cool too. I'm not done A link between worlds though so don't spoil. I just finished the first dungeon in lorule. I chose to do the thieves hideout first.

Basically, I'd like the roster how it'd be without time constraints. Every character from every previous installment would stay in. Clones wouldn't have to be clones and their movesets would evolve across games. Roy and Lucina wouldn't be Marth clones; Falco wouldn't be a Fox clone; Ganon wouldn't be a Captain clone... the list goes on. I don't really have any specific examples, just that all characters would be persistent through titles and Nintendo would add characters they see fit.

I think this would be ideal. And the end result (the roster we did end up) Is only the way it is due to time constraints. I think if Sakurai did not flat out say that the rosters would be the same, the wii-u would have had some additional characters as they have a longer time to work on it.

More like a nightmare. Just Ike and Robin from fire emblem? ; u ; and some random villager animal...I'm just kidding though, it's you're personal roster so I have no gripes. I said post you're ideal roster. So it's cool to see everyone's different ideas. Ravio should be playable! I just realize, he could use all the items from his shop in his attacks. And his bird could do something to. XD (the one that grabs you re items when you die) Yuga would be cool too. I'm not done A link between worlds though so don't spoil. I just finished the first dungeon in lorule. I chose to do the thieves hideout first.
Haha, yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Fire Emblem. And Gracie isn't an AC villager--she's the fashion checker/boutique owner. I just think she'd have a pretty interesting set using her various fashion accessories and fashion-checking capabilities. But yeah, you hit the nail on the head with Ravio. I know he's really minor (which is why I didn't include him in the 50-character roster) but he has a lot of potential with all the items in his store + the bird.

So here we go....


So i guess i have some explaining to do.

First of all I didn't cut any viable characters from melee (Dr. Mario, Roy, or Mewtwo) or Brawl (All except Squirtle and Ivysaur)

We are also in DIRE need of some good heavyweights! I also do not mind some series having 9 characters in their series (Mario/Pokemon) if at least other deserving characters get slots.

I'll go down the line:
Impa: AKA necessary, could be a nice healthy mix between Sheik and Zelda. Awesome regardless
Ridley: Obvious for obvious reasons. Need more heavyweights
K. Rool: Like Ridley, awesome character and potential movepool + heavyweight
Dixie: A good mix between DK and Diddy. Agile yet strong.
Roy: Plays WAY different from Marth or Lucina. His strength lies within the hilt of his sword. He has to be close. Way harder game, but super rewarding.
Lucina: She stays because of her mechanic of neutral balance in strength to Marth and Roy
Hades: I don't need to explain this either. Another villain/heavyweight/great movepool. The list goes on. Who cares if he is from Kid Icarus
Pokemon Line: 2nd, 3rd and 5th gen have no representation. Good use if done like this:
Tyranitar: 2nd Gen pokemon, heavyweight, should be one of the heaviest. Could hit strong. Awesome Ground/Dark type
Sceptile: 3rd Gen, Replaces Ivysaur as a grass type. Everyone wants.
Zoroark: 5th Gen, LOOKS LIKE A SMASH CHARACTER. Awesome move potential with Dark type.

Krystal: Self explanatory
B. Shadow: Should be the ganondorf of the series. Ganon should have his own moveset.
Marshal: Was planned, another 2d character= awesome
Rayman: Trophy in game, another ridiculous 3rd party character
Amaterasu: Made a mistake and put duck hunt at the bottom in between. Amaterasu has 3 different weapons, can utilize them like shulk changes power. Would be glorious. Basically the only other capcom character that should ever be invited.

Blank Slot: It is for ISSAC. I couldnt find an image. Again I don't need to explain his inclusion.

So there you have it! More than 70 characters if everybody got their top choices! I'm sure I missed a few but a game with this roster would make me die a happy little fanboy.

The roster we have already, minus dark pit and the doc.
Plus: Ghirahim, Dixie, Paper Mario instead of doctor(with a unique paper/partner based moveset), Lopunny/Sceptile/I guess stupid mewtwo, and possibly ridley if they made him work.

Again, yeah Ravio would work so well. XD I never really thought of it until I saw him on your roster.

XD I like these for the most part. And Maxwell and bomberman are two people I could always see working in smash bros.

I'm really open to any roster, there are just a couple of characters I really don't like. That being said my perfect roster is:
:mario64::mariomelee::mario2::4mario::4luigi::drmario:

Looks like an amazing roster!
Oh by the way, smash bros 5 roster confirmed.

-Baby Mario
-Paper Mario
-Mario
-Gold Mario
-Silver Mario
-Metal Mario
-Tanooki Suit Mario
-Pink Gold Mario
-Diamond Mario
-Oreo

Looks like it's going to be sweet. No but seriously, I have a certain gripe which I know here is not the place to explain it. But I'm a bit poed on how nintendo thinks all these metal characters is a good idea. No one wants to play as metal mario or pink gold peach go away.

What the roster realistically should have looked like including all of sakurais newcomers.




All fanbases would be happy, dlc would just be bonuses instead of necessities. Unfortunately the director did not come through.

It could have been perfect but instead everything is blood and tears.

"Blood and tears"? Got my hyperbole for the week with that sentence (or at least the day).

Roster is very, VERY good as is - I miss a few too (in order Snake/ICs (tie), Mewtwo, Wolf/Lucas/Squirtle/Ivysaur a little less so, Roy/Pichu would amuse me I guess...) and I could do without a few (mainly DHD, I would never have minded if Doc never made it for one of the above either), but everything else is very strong and a rather fair balance of the series that are represented.

If you want to satisfy all fanbases, you left out Krystal (I don't care but I know many did - I think that would be a sufficiently large fanbase you ignored). But I suppose that's just nitpicking.

Also to the poster a few above me, the original 12 are iconic in Smash, cutting any of them would be just as bad as cutting Marth or Zelda/Sheik, who are also rather iconic to Smash (and I think you'll find VERY few people [who aren't jaded by losing to them over and over in Melee] who would support those characters' removal for good reason - the same reasoning applies to Mario, Luigi, Link, Kirby, Samus, Pikachu, Fox, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Captain Falcon, Ness, and, Jigglypuff).

I kept wolf starfox at 3 is fine, krystal would be dlc. Starfox getting more than 3 isnt a priority, just like kirby getting 4 isnt a priority. Also I hate our current roster.

Just take the current roster and add isaac, black shadow (giving ganondorf his own moveset), krystal, wolf, roy, mewtwo, ice climbers, dixie kong, king k. rool and sukapon.

I would give wario a different side B and down B. One of them could be a money bag projectile where he throws money bags in an arc that explode with coins when they hit someone. I would also change lucario's mechanic to something more a kin to what PM did with him.
