Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

We don't need two Marios.

We don't "need" two, but I find it completely warranted given the many personas there are to choose from.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

We don't need two Marios.

Sakurai obviously didn't give a sh** about this pre-Melee.

And now that we know that FLUDD is a thing that is staying around, Doc might actually have a niche to fill as a successor to Mario's old moveset.

 

[Deleted member]

But it's still two Marios.

....so?

 

[Kenith]

The only one I would take off is Ike,mainly because I don't like him as much. Nevertheless,good roster.

There are no cuts here, meaning Ike stays.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

It would be nice to get something tomorrow, but thus far, anniversaries haven't really meant anything thus far. There was the Peach reveal, but that isn't really conclusive.

Sakurai would have to know that tomorrow is the anniversary of the original Smash Bros. If he wants to make it known, then I can see him announcing Ness, Jigglypuff, or Falcon, though with Gamefreak in the mix I doubt the Puff. So, with that said, it's narrowed down to Ness and Falcon. I'm not incredibly partial to either to be honest.

Here's hoping.

Yoshi reveal, to complete the "Original 8" perhaps?

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I personally think the chances of any other Mario character getting in are shot now that Rosalina got in.

Yoshi reveal, to complete the "Original 8" perhaps?

I forgot about Yoshi. But yes, he would be a decent pick too. Although I see him as a choice for when the new Yoshi comes out. Then again, his page can just be updated when the game releases.

Thing is,This is 15 past Sakurai's limit,yes,limit. If you did not hear,Sakurai said that there WILL be less or the same amount of Brawl characters.

Even if you did hear it,I kind of want to see a roster with about the same as Brawl on this thread. Not asking you,but still.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Not completely true

I HAD ROB on my list I made of characters I wanted in SMASH during melee's development

Teamed up with Prof hector though

 

[Morbi]

I thought Pit was the only member of the original 8 missing...

Melee's roster sucked though.

No Wario? No Dedede? Two Links? Two Marios? Clones everywhere.

edit: I know why Ultimate Wario liked this.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Maybe we'll see an HD refined intro of Smash 64.
But that's pretty unlikely.

 

[NickerBocker]

Nah, just WFT side-boob

Where the h*** is Luigi vacuum..... -___-

Pit wasn't in the original Smash Bros.

Nah, just WFT *ss shot

It's like you people don't know Sakurai at all.

Instead of ******** about the clones, understand that it was either them or nothing.

The original plan was just the 19 non-clones. Then Sakurai added the clones later in development since Melee's roster seemed a little small.

 

[Will]

Pit wasn't in the original Smash Bros.

It's like you people don't know Sakurai at all.

He was planned to,but was cut.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

He never said that. I have no idea where you heard that from.

 

[XStarWarriorX]

Well it makes sense when you put it that way.

But it's still two Marios.

We don't need two links either.

Yet here they are.

 

[JamesDNaux]

Sakurai never said the roster will be the same (amount) as Brawl's, people took a comment he made way out of context. There would be little point in making a new game in the series if the roster was barely bigger than Brawls. There's just no way in hell we'd only get six or so newcomers and heavy cuts.

There are no cuts here, meaning Ike stays.

Hell, I would never want a character to be cut even if I didn't like them. I have a very strong dislike of Bowser Jr. but if he made it in as a playable character I would never want him taken out, hell, I would even play as him because I hate neglecting any character on the roster despite whether I like them or not.

More like THE MORE YOU THINK YOU KNOW.

There is no legitimate source that says Pit was planned for Smash 64.

 

[TumblrFamous]

If you did not hear,Sakurai said that there WILL be less or the same amount of Brawl characters.

Lol no he didn't.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Still don't WANT two Links

 

[Robert of Normandy]

No he wasn't.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Hopefully we don't end up with baby changing Yoshi

Still don't WANT two Links

Because I have my sticky stick of doom.

The clones I got over quickly. The only characters I had a problem with were Dr. Mario and Pichu who you could tell were there just to fill up the roster.

Really? I thought that Dedede was originally going to be the last character, but Sakurai decided more characters would be better, so he did 6 clones over one original character. (Most likely just a rumor)

 

[NickerBocker]

Dedede was planned to,but was never added.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

fixed

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Anybody who is a clone SHOULD be a clone. And imo so should Ganondorf.

If it weren't for clones we wouldn't have as many characters in Melee or Brawl. So people shouldn't complain about it.

 

[Deleted member]

And the other clones weren't?

That was literally why they were included.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

No he wasn't.

Curse you Sakurai and you're lack of faith in Sukapon being able to work!

 

[kingmario92]

I think Sakurai has stated that Dedede was meant to be in both 64 & Melee, but was scrapped

 

[Will]

What about pit?

Fixed.

 

[Kenith]

And the other clones weren't?

That was literally why they were included.

At least the other clones were different people.
Scratch, that may or may not be a good thing.

Source? I've never heard this.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

I think his point was more that Ganondorf and Falco had support behind them. But as far as I know, the biggest reason was to fill up the roster.

 

[NickerBocker]

Fixed.

I still don't understand where you're getting "Pit was planned for 64" from.

-That goes into cednym territory, which is unverified (though I believe it).
-It is a misconception. Cednym stated that Sakurai said he could have added 1 more non-clone using the same development time that he made the 6 clones. And that Sakurai had backup ideas for Dedede if Intelligent Systems would not let him include Marth. But it wasn't stated that Dedede was to be the last non-clone character.

 

[Will]

I'm surprised nobody gave Yuga any love.

 

[PLATINUM7]

And the other clones weren't?

That was literally why they were included.

It wasn't so obvious that the other clones were just filling up the roster. They were good character choices but had a lazy moveset. Dr. Mario and Pichu were just lazy choices.
