Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Cobalsh]

What did I miss the last 3 pages?

Nothing, but nice Kumatora avatar. Always liked her character, remember supporting her instead of Lucas in my lurking Brawl days.

 

[BluePikmin11]

My roster,I'm ready.

Not a bad roster, though I can't really say anything after that though.

 

[?????????????]

I always liked Duster for a MOTHER newcomer. It'll never happen though.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

No K. Rool, no Lucario, no Ridley. I'm not happy, sorry.

Prepare to be dissapointed because that might end up being the case. Except Lucario, there's no reason for him not to get in.

 

[Gene]

40 Slots? Cut Brawl Veterans? Chrom over Ike? Assist Trophies suddenly higher priority? No Snake? What is this?

The future.

Off topic but what the **** happened to Smashboards' theme/layout and how do I change it back?

Time Travel.

 

[Starbound]

It's still Samus, they're semi-interchangable characters, they're all in the same slot, it's 1 character in definition.

Except they aren't. They're two characters according to Sakurai.
Sheik is her own character. Charizard is his own character. Squirtle is his own character. Ivysaur is her own character. Zero Suit Samus is her own character.
It may still be Samus, but Zero Suit Samus still took as much development time as any other character, which is why she is her own character and the second Metroid character.

And to just go ahead and say "That's enough for Metroid" is again insulting.

I don't think anyone is saying this.

I don't think that Lucario will be cut, but if Sakurai had to choose 4 Pokémon characters, it would be him or Mewtwo, and Mewtwo would win.

You don't.
Literally, you don't.

It's also insulting to see Palutena replaced by some random character with zero chance every new roster you have.
But that's just me.

Would prefer Ninten or Anna.............or Wally...

It's realistic, right?

 

[Cobalsh]

Personally, I'm still holding out for Salsa.

 

[Louie G.]

I just want Porky.
He's probably the only Mother newcomer I will accept.

You're just jealous of Monkey Power.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Palutena/ 10. Not happy, even if it does have Mr. Bandanna.

I disagree to, Jiggly would be the one to be cut.

I thought he was too big until I saw his SSBC version. See? Ridley's doable.

View attachment 5587

Do you get the joke yet guys?

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Zero Suit Samus doesn't mean Metroid has enough, but it certainly makes it so that Ridley isn't 100% essential. Not that Sakurai ever considered him as such.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

What joke? I saw no joke.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Personally, I'm still holding out for Salsa.

But, what about the magypsies?

 

[Knight Dude]

Who wants Slippy? Clearly he's the most popular character in the world. Not even Sonic would reach Slippy's hype levels. I think Sakurai was waiting to get his moveset just right before adding him.

Wow, just like old times.

And then it goes like this:
"Jigglypuff is one of the Original 12, it would be a shame to see her cut."

And then it goes like:
"Who cares about the Original 12, Lucario is more important than Jiggs."

 

[Hotfeet444]

I disagree to, Jiggly would be the one to be cut.

I'd say the same if this was maybe Melee, but we're four games in now, and now that's just not realistic. Lucario can be as successful as it wants to be, but as of now it is easily the most expendable pokemon veteran, and none of them are easily expendable.

Pikachu: Definitve game mascot, most iconic pokemon of all time.

Pokemon Trainer: Icon of pokemon games, the playable character, one of best possible representations of pokemon yet, has three amazingly popular and well-known pokemon.

Jigglypuff: Hugely iconic character of Smash Bros, has had a very long history with the series, represents both old and new generations of pokemon with iconic look and new type, still very beloved by Japan.

Mewtwo: The definitive pokemon icon after Pikachu, one of the world's most famous pokemon, represents the mighty legendaries of the series, biggest icon of the new generation, biggest movie star.

Lucario: The newer generation's iconic pokemon, represents the newer ages of pokemon, but in terms of overall importance to the series overall, Lucario falls behind, and while super popular now, is still the most expendable overall.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

And then it goes like:
"Who cares about the Original 12, Lucario is more important than Jiggs."

Salkurai is bias enough to prioritize Jigglypuff over Lucario and for that very reason. He's also bias enough to prioritize Lucario over Mewtwo.

 

[BlueSorrow]

It's realistic, right?

It's missing the most important character slot, the random option!

 

[SuperBrawler]

Lucario would be the one to be cut. He probably won't be cut though, I expect all Brawl veterans to come back. I want all Melee too, but that won't happen, so whatever.

 

[Louie G.]

Salkurai is bias enough to prioritize Jigglypuff over Lucario and for that very reason. He's also bias enough to prioritize Lucario over Mewtwo.

Why does everyone call Sakurai bias?
At one point he's so modest that he refuses to add Waddle Dee and Palutena, and then he's so bias that he makes Meta Knight top tier and prioritizes the Original 12 over all the others.
So which one is it? Really?

 

[Depressed Gengar]

When was the random box important?

Are you implying Sakurai is consistent?

 

[Louie G.]

Are you implying Sakurai is consistent?

Good point.
Seriously though, Mewtwo is far more likely than Lucario at this point. And Lucario is actually likely.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

When was the random box important?

Since Random was the most popular and recurring thing in Japanese video games.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

So this article is on a interview with Sakurai and it seems Sakurai really wants to see this game in 2014, even making it his New Year's Resolution. Thoughts?

Am I the only one who wants it to be released around Christmas time next year?

I have a new roster. It has about six less characters, but I think everyone will be satisfied with it.
View attachment 5585

I disagree due to the lack of Lucario. If you don't mind me asking, why remove him and readd Mewtwo instead of both? All that will do is continue the Brawl days of Lucario being added and people think Lucario replaced Mewtwo

My roster,I'm ready.

Replace Robin with Roy/Lyn/Lucina/Chrom. While I'm somewhat mixed on Pac-Man, I'll welcome him. other than that, a 9/10

 

[Kenith]

Random option brings unexpected choices. There are no universally unexpected choices on this roster.

What joke? I saw no joke.

The joke is that if we base our rosters on rules or probability, we get a bare-bones playable cast.

Here's my real roster:

I still think it's great. The only wild card here is Ghirahim.

 

[Knight Dude]

When was the random box important?

Nine days ago, we had a memo. But not everyone got theirs. I know that I had to check with management to make sure.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

PT is the most expendable, TBH.

Jigglypuff was almost cut out from Brawl, so I think she has a good chance of leaving if someone from Pokemon has to leave.

 

[Kenith]

I try to make a satirical comment, and spark a discussion on most useless Pokemon character.

*sigh*

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Ghiriham, Zant, Midna, Impa, it's never happening...
...

[Chandeelure]

PT is the most expendable, TBH.

I know this opinion is not very popular,but I think the same.

 

[Louie G.]

PT is the most expendable, TBH.

Care to explain?
I would agree, but PT is so important to Pokémon as a whole that I feel it would be ridiculous to cut him.
Although I don't think that Pokémon Trainer and Charizard is impossible.
