Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Kenith]

but also like Ice Climbers meaning i would hate to play as them because I suck at desyncs

If you'd hate to play as them (specifically, as a pair) then why do you have an icon for them in your signature?

Enough about gen 3 this died when brawl came out without gen 3. I loved 3 gen don't get me wrong but its not going to happen.

Well, when you say it like that, why support any unlikely choices?

You won't be able to tell who is the real Zoroark though, as they are exact replicas too, for example, I could throw out a fake Zoroark at you with attack like maybe Night Slash (that doesn't do damage still) while the real one attack you with Shadow Ball, there's plenty of options to choose from to make the opponent keep guessing.

That will trick you maybe once and then you'll figure it out.

OMG @SaturnGamer64 YOU ALSO WANT A LITERAL LITTLE MAC TOO?

But, I'd know which is the real one.

He's just like that cause he knows manly is hot.

We all know this.

 

[Autumn ♫]

Here you go Bidoof. The SSB5 roster.

 

[BluePikmin11]

But, I'd know which is the real one.

You probably will have to hit the Zoroark with the most suspicious wonky physics, but Double Team will keep you guessing along with various other special moves.
Perhaps there should be some sort of teleport attack for Zoroark so you seriously don't know what's coming at you.

[Knight Dude]

Don't you guys feel that there's enough gen 1 reps?
It's like: Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo(possibly) and PKMN Trainer and now you're thinking in Meowth?
Keep Lucario but I personally would like to see something from Gen 3 and Gen 5 even though it's something that probably won't happen.

Gen 3 and Gen 5? Not sure if any Gen 3 pokemon are getting in. Unless we got the Trainer's Kanto pokemon switched for Hoenn ones. But I would like to see Zoroark along with Lucario.

I posted this awhile ago but it got lost in all of this discussion regarding Non-Nintendo 3rd Parties / 4th Parties.

With a new year coming I figured it's time for a new roster.

Nothing ground breaking, just a new style appearance-wise and me looking at the roster in a different light (sort of despite, there only being like three changes).
Change #1: Roster buffed to 47/48 characters from 46 due to Rosalina.
Change #2: Muddy replaced Lip because I feel that Muddy has a lot more to offer gameplay wise with burrowing and whatnot. Would be an interesting ground controlling character.
Change #3: Newcomer icon is there because I couldn't think of anybody else that really fit on the chart. So it could literally be anything from a Zelda newcomer, Fire Emblem newcomer, Bandana Dee, 4th Third-Party character, another miscellaneous character, another retro character, or just the Random icon.

Everything else should be self-explanatory, only thing I feel like I have to mention is my lacking of confidence in Isaac specifically. But he's still there because this is the nation of why not.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Oh, my god. I just counted my "45" character roster...it has 46 and I didn't even know!

 

[Knight Dude]

I'm liking this roster dude. You don't see Muddy Mole often. Props for adding Isaac too.

 

[Louie G.]

Uh, hey.
Is there anything going on here, or...

 

[Pacack]

Uh, hey.

Nothing in particular.

 

[Kenith]

Uh, hey.

Good to have you back! Yeah, a lot of stuff happened actually...

But nothing really relevant to SSB4, no...

 

[BluePikmin11]

Were just waiting for the new year to come by. I can't believe 2014 will be the year Sakurai releases the next installments of Smash Bros., hope for no game delays.

 

[Gunla]

I'm not holding my breath. Something is always bound to happen.

Don't worry, there won't be any delays! Sonic was added early this time.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

I don't think they'll be delays, the game looks nearly complete, they're just holding back on the info since it isn't the brawl dojo.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Here is MY SSB5 hypothetical roster thing.
The characters in Red means they aren't on my SSB4 prediction roster, and the Earthbound placeholder means the main character of Earthbound 3/Mother 4.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Don't worry, there won't be any delays! Sonic was added early this time.

That's a nice reminder indeed.

 

[TumblrFamous]

I know we have gone off onto irrelevant topics before, but speculating SSB5? Come the **** on.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

You're right, mate. We should predict characters for SSB6.

[Kenith]

That's a nice reminder indeed.

Come to think of it, I read that Brawl's roster was finalized in 2006 (sans Sonic)

Using that logic, SSB4's roster should've been finalized in early 2012. You know what wasn't old news in 2012

Vaati's anniversary edition and 3DS ambassador! YES!!!

Umm... Well FE:A didn't come out yet so clearly Chrom is ineligible.

 

[Gunla]

Sakurai announced that the roster was finalized during the summer of 2013, I believe a bit of time after E3 (Like a couple of weeks)[Sadly, I can't find the article ]. While there can be some changes, think mostly with the timetable up to here. Though the promotion for Nintendo games is likely something that was decided later.

Yeah I do recall that the roster was finalized during summer, something was said like no more requests are being taken now, and that they are currently finishing what is final, there might be delays to finish the roster for both versions.

And on topic of shoo-ins....
Sakurai has mentioned multiple obvious veterans in interviews and videos.

Examples: Zelda, Captain Falcon, Ice Climbers, etc.

Thanks! Not sure why Muddy isn't on more rosters, he's got a lot to offer gameplay-wise as well. Also yeah, despite my lack of knowledge of him Isaac looks to offer something different as well.

(Also I'm expecting my roster to be ignored again, yay...)

 

[TheLastJinjo]

So Ridley...stage hazard?

 

[josh bones]

I have the best roster.

 

[Louie G.]

Whut.

 

[Kenith]

Nobody likes Chrom, from what I've read.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Let's try this questionnaire!

Do you think Mii will be a playable character? Why?
Do you want Mii to be a playable character? Why?
Do you think the Pilotwings stage and Find Mii stage signify anything? Why?
Do you think Mii would create problems online? What are those problems and how big would they be?
Do you think Mii can have a fun and interesting moveset? Why?
Do you believe in the Little Pac Miis rumor? Why?
Did you think Mii had a good chance of being in before the rumor? Why?

Get to it.

These questionnaires are fun actually...

Expect others like this soon.

So Ridley...stage hazard?

Don't think so.

 

[BluePikmin11]

So Ridley...stage hazard?

I'm already impatient, Sakurai is giving me the pisses about Ridley's fate.

I have the best roster.

Deja-vuvu.

Let's try this questionnaire!

Do you think Mii will be a playable character? Why?
Yes, because of the their importance to Nintendo as a whole and their customizability potential.
Do you want Mii to be a playable character? Why?
An obvious no, because I'll probably won't main super generic avatars.
Do you think the Pilotwings stage and Find Mii stage signify anything? Why?
No, they don't really signify anything, but if there were to be a Mii Plaza stage..
Do you think Mii would create problems online? What are those problems and how big would they be?
No, it will just be immature people just trying to troll for no absolute purpose, it will probably be big.
Do you think Mii can have a fun and interesting moveset? Why?
Yes, because it's Sakurai, he can make even generic Miis fun.
Do you believe in the Little Pac Miis rumor? Why?
Yes, the validity is proven with the guess of Wii Fit Trainer.
Did you think Mii had a good chance of being in before the rumor? Why?
I was never interested in the first place to even talk about it.
Get to it.

These questionnaires are fun actually...

Expect others like this soon.


Don't think so.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Whut.

Well, there's 2 holes, Sakurai said he might appear at any minute, the hole seems rather small from the distance of the only shot with characters (But that might be an illusion), one hole which wasn't originally there is conveniently shaped like his head.

What should I assume?
