Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Gunla]

Also, BigAxle, your roster is nice, but I still disagree with the inclusion of Bandana Dee.

We'll always disagree on this, eh?

And whatever you do, DON'T replace Shulk/Isaac with Samurai Goroh.

I don't see Samurai Goroh getting in over Shulk OR Issac.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

But nobody outside of Smashboards even knows who Impa is.

I'm gonna call bull **** on that.

Thanks for the feedback.

Well, he's certainly more important, but like you said. Agree to disagree.

 

[Morbi]

I think topics should be more about what characters will get in and not as much what characters most people want to get in. But everyone seems to think that because somebody discusses or defends a character that they obviously must like them.

What if the characters that I support, the ones that I like, are the ones that I think will get in?

Don't say that too loud, you-know-who will have a **** fit. And do you have a unique moveset for Bandana Dee? Because I don't find just increased-normal range attacks to be very unique, seeing as basically every character that wields a weapon has said ability. Anyways, you make good rosters.

 

[andimidna]

I'd like Impa, but only if she doesn't replace Sheik and has a different moveset than Sheik.

I imagine that she could be a composite character who takes from the designs of shadow sage Impa from OOT and the Impa from SS, and made to fit the Twilight Princess style, in order to fit in with Link and Zelda.

You sure you don't want to play as the REAL Twilight Princess Impa?

 

[FalKoopa]

Since we're all on the topic of Zelda, how about we rank the chances of the possible Zelda newcomers?

Impa, Tetra/Toon Zelda, Tingle, Vaati, Ghirahim.

I'd rank them as below.
1. Tetra/Toon Zelda
2. Tingle
3. Impa
4. Ghirahim
5. Vaati

 

[branden4030]

Anyone willing to bet me this isnt going to be the roster?

Hey guys,there's always a slightly different voice for the annncer,what do you guys think he will sound like in the next game?

And just to be clear,I'm gonna first see Morgan Freeman as a reply.

I could live with this roster. I don't necessarily believe leaks, but it is hard to deny such a safe leak. I mean, most of that is going to happen on the main roster, regardless.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I'd rank them as below.
1. Tetra/Toon Zelda
2. Tingle
3. Impa
4. Ghirahim
5. Vaati

1.) Tetra (Just Tetra)
2.) Tingle
3.) Ghirahim
4.) Impa
5.) Vaati

Which is sad because I actually like all these characters and each bring something unique to the table.

No surprises. Basically every character so far has been at least slightly surprising. And then Tingle. Ew. This roster is too small. This is no 'leak'.

I'm actually remaking my current BWD moveset right now. Got kind bored this morning. My movesets for him are only mid-range attacks. Long-Range is overdone.

And thanks for the compliment. I try and really think about who I choose for a roster.

Yeah that's pretty much how I'd rank them too. Although I would personally put Tingle in his own series though. :T

 

[Sonicguy726]

But nobody outside of Smashboards even knows who Impa is.

edit: though the Zelda fanbase is very large.

Unless you have played ocarina of time, skyward sword or a link between world so most people

Did we just put a Sheik clone and a one time recency character over the most unique Zelda character and most important one after the main 4?

 

[branden4030]

This roster works for me im much more worried about gameplay tbh

Tingle's Rupeeland for DS. Done.

 

[Kenith]

This is my ideal roster

I never actually commented on this roster, so I will now.

- Dark Samus would be a bad choice. We'd essentially have three Samus's on the roster, and if we get a new Metroid at all, it would be Ridley.

- If Robin gets in as the "Tactician", I doubt he wouldn't be the hooded version.

- Dixie is honestly more likely than K. Rool. I like that you included her without gluing her to Diddy.

- I doubt we'll get four third-parties, and I am even more doubtful Pacman would replace Snake/Snake would be cut.

[TheLastJinjo]

How is a second Sheik more likely than Vaati again?

1.) Tetra (Just Tetra)
2.) Tingle
3.) Ghirahim
4.) Impa
5.) Vaati

Which is sad because I actually like all these characters and each bring something unique to the table.

I think if they add Toon Zelda/Tetra, Toon Zelda would be a clone of Zelda. And Tetra would be a clone of Sheik. Toon Link ended up a semi clone twice now. And the names in Brawl's files were Toon Zelda and Toon Sheik.

 

[Morbi]

If you are referring to my list, it is based on Sakurai's implied intent precedent.

I almost completely forgot about Classic Ganon. I might replace him with Ghirahim. Nice catch, he is obviously over-looked to a staggering extent.

 

[Kenith]

Unless you have played ocarina of time, skyward sword or a link between world so most people

But she has a minor role in two of those games, and that's only three out of every game in the series.

 

[Arcanir]

Here are some things about the Phantom that could pertain to being part Zelda's moveset:

First off, the detailed design.
I know Toon Link was more detailed in Brawl compared to his games, but the detail was toned down for SSB4.

Here it's like they tried to make the Phantom more detailed in order to fit the Twlight Princess style and match up with TP Zelda more...

Second, the note the color of the Phantom. The only Phantom in the series with that desaturated pink/brown coloration is the Phantom that Zelda controls in Spirit Tracks, and it has the same shield design.

There's a pink Phantom in PT, but it's a more saturated pink, and it has a different shield design.

What does this mean? Well, if the Phantom is an Assist Trophy, then it could be Toon Zelda in the Phantom armor, but that's be a bit unusual.

If it's meant to be a generic Phantom, then wouldn't it make more sense for it to have a different coloration and shield design?

Oh please, it's not THAT long.

----

Agreed, on top of that, it looks more detailed then the typical AT. Compare the level of detail the Phantom has compared to Skull Kid, it seems you can make out individual fingers on its hand along with some other defining features that are not given to ATs.

 

[andimidna]

I seriously see Ghirahim and Midna being added over the recurring characters. They all have they're own **** holding them back. Which makes a better argument over "one-time character".

 

[Morbi]

What?

The Forbidden Seven, Sakurai implied that his intention was to add Toon Zelda and Toon Sheik over every other applicable Zelda character. This creates a precedent. Thus, I think that the character he was going to add in Brawl is more likely than Vaati.

 

[branden4030]

Actualy i dont know about tingle... the leak states a link character but they have kept him a secret. Giraham and tingle where said to be the most likey

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Sorry, I was referring to Impa.

 

[CrusherMania1592]

Hey, look! Roster! Roast it and move on from useless Phantom Dicussion!

Replace Robin with Roy or Lyn and Tetra for Vaati and you got a decent roster

Robin has to be this Smash's Ridley in term of wants. I really don't understand the reason for Robin suddenly being on everyone's roster.

 

[Morbi]

Sorry, I was referring to Impa.

To be honest, I only really think that Tingle and Toon Zelda even have a chance, I just threw down some notable names. I don't think Impa is likely in the slightest.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I think if they add Toon Zelda/Tetra, Toon Zelda would be a clone of Zelda. And Tetra would be a clone of Sheik. Toon Link ended up a semi clone twice now. And the names in Brawl's files were Toon Zelda and Toon Sheik.

I highly doubt that, seeing as Sakurai has reasons for making both Links alike, but none for Zelda. And even if they did glue Toon Zelda to Tetra, I highly doubt they'd be like Zelda and Sheik. First, Tetra's a Pirate, not a ninja, to make a Pirate play like a Ninja is dumb (And blasphemy as Pirates and Ninjas are arch-enemies. ). Second, unlike actual Zelda, Toon Zelda has a stapled profession in the use of bows and arrows. Her main weapon can be her Bow, the different types of musical magic from Spirit Tracks, and more. And again, for newcomers, uniqueness is king, and Tetra (Who IS the more dominant Toon Zelda figure as it is Zelda) can be VERY unique:

You say you've watched my videos, so you know how unique Tetra can be made to be.

 

[Deleted member]

What, do you want me to go find an interview from Sakurai or Aonuma that says "Impa is not very popular"? Sounds easy.

Then do it.

Or just take a poll.
