Reposting this just to get a bit for feedback since we're on a new page.

Here's my roster that I made specifically to go slightly against the norm.




And I'm sorry, but I spent hours on this pathetic avatar. I'm not changing it.
That avatar is beautiful.

Ok, I already see some cuts. Snake, Ike? Meh. I'm no fan of cuts at all, sorry. Your newcomers are interesting though.

This actually doesn't seem like a bad idea for a game.
Someone should go pitch this to Nintendo as an EShop title.

I know. It's a masterpiece.

I had a couple cuts just so I could keep the roster at 50 characters while still having interesting new characters. I still get not liking cuts, though.

PAC did his again, why not?


Here's the updated roster. the ones on the right are ones I wanted to add but I limited myself. as you can see, I moved Kamek to this section. even though he's more likely than Stork. I don't know why I did that, just deal with it.

I heard someone say Zelda, so I'm gonna go off that. I think if we do get a new rep, it would be Tingle. The only thing really against Tingle is his over-exaggerated hatred in North America. He easily has the most unique abilities out of those currently in the running, and has left his mark with his map deciphering and spin-off games.

Reposting this just to get a bit for feedback since we're on a new page.

Here's my roster that I made specifically to go slightly against the norm.



Explainations:

50 characters, including transformations.
No Dixie Kong because of Sakurai looking for uniqueness this time around.
The Stork may be replaced with Kamek, but I, too support the idea. It's a character that's appeared in every Yoshi game to date (I believe) and it's the perfect way to represent the babies without changing up Yoshi's moveset.
Impa because of recent things with Zelda, seperating Sheilda due to need to make roster appear larger and more impressive. Still may be switched to Sheilda if you prefer.
Takamaru because retro.
Ridley Because Ridley.
Palutena because she's a unique female character that Sakurai understand the potential of.
Little Mac because Little Pac-Mii
Charizard over Pokemon Trainer to decrease roster size while still keeping masses fairly happy.
Ike cut due to possibility of IS wanting not to include a character which they are no longer focusing on (and because it's a roster going against the norm) This is the choice that I'm least sure of here.
Robin due to uniqueness over other potential FE characters and possibility of being default female.
Mii because Little Pac-Mii
Daitoryo due to need for historical character and personal preference.
Pac-Man due to Little Pac-Mii and personal preference.


And I'm sorry, but I spent hours on this pathetic avatar. I'm not changing it.
i love it

Why do people always say that about Yoshi characters that aren't Yoshi?
Probably because of the association of Yoshi being a Mario A-lister. Same thing happens to Wario, despite his sub-series arguably being as fleshed out and well known as Donkey Kong. Truth be told, if Smash didn't acknowledge either of them as their own series, no one would so much as bat an eye. I'm grateful for any Yoshi representation, even though I'd absolutely flip out for another Yoshi rep. coughKamekcough

Also, not that I favor or even tolerate him, but in Bidoof's defense, she has a lot to learn about being a female on Smashboards. It is, unfortunately, not for the faint of heart.

Also regarding the Zelda series....personally I don't find there to be any worthwhile additions to the brawl roster. sorry guys =/
btw as much as I love beating the ever living crap out of everything with a waddle dee in almost any Kirby game I feel that Bandana Dee might end up as an assist this time around...call it a gut feeling I guess

I think that the assist trophies will likely be stuff like Knuckle Joe or Blade Knight. If Bandana Dee gets the axe, it's likely by DIRECTLY being in Dedede's Moveset.

I agree that Tingle is by far the most deserving Zelda newcomer (even more than Toon Link in my opinion), but like you said: his over-exaggerated hatred in North America (which is stupid) will most likely keep him out of the game, despite his overwhelming qualifications. I'd say Tetra and Impa would still be the most likely choices.

I waited for an hour last night to get a roster posted so it wasn't stuck at the bottom of the page. It happens.

The hatebase actually increases his presence. Hate or not, he's much more known by it.

Thanks!

Fun fact: Umbreon was actually my first shiny Pokemon (other than Gyrados). Which is why it's my avatar :). Also, shiny Umbreons are only the coolest looking thing ever.
That's awesome!

Mine was just a lame wingull. And I didn't even catch it.

I got a Shiny Combee once, which I evolved into Vespiquen. I also got a Shiny Magicarp through a trade (Said guy wanted a Quilava and since I had a spare one around I was like, why not?). I'm still debating wether or not to evolve it into a Gyarados or else it would pretty much be like any other red Gyarados everyone got from the gen two games...

I wish this would happen, it would appease most people. But were likely gonna get 45. I don't think 45 is enough though, I think that 5 more or even better 51 total would be a cool thing for sakurai to do.

Zoroark and Genesect are the only other realistic ones I could see happening to be honest. Mega Mewtwo Y (and X?) if it would be more like a transformation like Zelda/Sheik or Samus/Zero Suit Samus instead of a generic Final Smash..

I disagree. One continent not liking the character is not fair to the others. If Tingle's deserving, he'll get in, and North Americans that actually don't like him can suck it up and forget about within a week. A stereotype is a stupid reason to hold a character back.
