Gee, this roster's getting kinda large.
What now?



Also I think removing Snake would upset more people than it would make happy.

I agree, he hasnt done anything related to Nintendo since MGS 3D , also he could be replaced as an advanced wars or Jeff character

Snake wasn't added because he was Nintendo-related. He was added because it was a special request from a personal friend (which gave way to other third-party characters, as well) and because Sakurai saw something special in Snake's potentiality.

By the way, these arguments for Snake's exclusion are fatally flawed.

He's hardly related to Nintendo?
He's way too mature for Super Smash Bros.?
He would never fit into Super Smash Bros.?

Are people really forgetting 2006 when Solid Snake was CONFIRMED FOR BRAWL?

And none of these are my current arguements for my thoughts on why I think Snake has a possibility of not returning. Maybe that's a good thing.:chuckle:


How about this one?
You have Duo and Rash. You've made this slightly redeeming. Mad props for adding Non-Specific Federation Marine.

What we don't know is if he'll still only do two 3rd party characters, just like in Brawl.

Nah groose's roster sucks.

Whatever the final roster is, I really hope people won't be ******** "OMG MY CHARACTER ISN'T IN THERE I'M NOT PLAYING SMASH NO MORES!" People should just take the roster for what it is and see if the playstyles are fun. Because gameplay>characters. imo.

TBH I probably like the characters I didn't ask for more than the ones I wanted.

Here, have a roster.

52 characters, my usual amount, no cuts, there are 16 newcomers (Mega Man, Villager, Rosalina, WFT, Pac-Man, Little Mac, Mii, King K. Rool, Ridley, Palutena, Waddle Dee, Tingle, Dixie Kong, Takamaru, Mach Rider & Sukapon). Mewtwo returns as well.

Thoughts on it?

Sukapon, Mewtwo and Ridley! They are 3 of my 4 most wanted characters. This roster is instant win.

I don't think we will get 15 characters. unless half of them are clones.

We got 18 new character in Brawl. Even if you count Lucas, Wolf and Toon link as clones, that is 15

There's always a chance, so far the only "clones" in my eyes would be semi-clones (Dixie -> Diddy, Mach Rider -> Captain Falcon), and it's been a few years of development, I think a few more newcomers than Brawl is OK.

Brawl did a good job changing up clones making them more different from their originals. I doubt we will be getting a lot of clones this time round

Since sakurai is going for "uniqueness" I'd think the only clones were getting are the ones sakurai feels don't need to changed because of "some rule" or "because fans like this playstyle so i'm not gonna drastically change it".

Oh and obviously if they are pressured for time, (imo unlikely), expect some clones and possible cuts.

It's a possibility. This is sakurai were talking about here. Though I would like to see ganondorf be "de-captain falcon'd".
What if they made him a clone of another character?
Wii Fit Ganondorf :surprised:

I'm thinking.... were gonna get something along the lines of PM ganondorf (maybe a few tweaks here and there). Some people actually like clone ganondorf like it or not, so again its possible he might not get a massive overhaul as some people are expecting.
