Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

What's the big deal about Professor Layton? I can Takamaru and others, but cutting one of gaming's biggest icon (Snake) for a 3rd party character from a puzzle series? How would he (Professor Layton) even fight?

 

[Hotfeet444]

Quick question, based on the movesets I provided, who should be my third Fire Emblem character, Chrom or Roy? Not looking to start a flame war, just looking for a second opinion.

 

[Arcadenik]

That would be cool. However...

If Diddy doesn't use his jetpack in SSB the same way he uses it in DK games, what guarantee is there that Dixie will?

No guarantee... also you gotta remember that Sakurai added Diddy Kong in Brawl BEFORE Donkey Kong Country Returns existed... so Diddy's recovery is based on DK64 and not the new DKC games...

You got rid of Robin? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
I would say Chrom, because Awakening single-handedly saved the series.

Robin

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

The only change I want to see for Diddy is to have him use the orange grenade as a replacement for the banana peel.

 

[Cpt.]

Here's my list guys. Groose is pretty top tier chances right? You know that this list is gonna happen cuz it iz in the shape of a smash ball.


But seriously I would like this list to happen eventually even though it won't.

Even matched up characters in rows for Pokemon, Zelda, Mario and agaiin for DK, Starfox, Metroid kinda Kirby.

Ex: Link is to Masked Link as Mario is to Paper Mario as Red is to an alternate Pokemon trainer.

NO, IT SHOULD BE ROBIN BCUZ BLEAEAERGH!

You should know by now that this is unavoidable when FE is involved.

Chrom. Definitely Chrom.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Don't make fun of the prince like that

Be quiet, Henry.

 

[Louie G.]

Be quiet, Henry.

I love how his name is in his username yet you call him Henry.

 

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

I gotta stick with Chrom.

No guarantee... also you gotta remember that Sakurai added Diddy Kong in Brawl BEFORE Donkey Kong Country Returns existed... so Diddy's recovery is based on DK64 and not the new DKC games...

Right, but in that game, he could full-on fly... it was even better than DKC Returns.

His series currently the closest to Nintendo Layton will ever get, the series is successful still to this this and is a well-known icon. For his moveset, he would use his fencing sword for normal attacks, use his slot-machine gun and his various other gadgets from the Layton, he would be a sort a tricky character fight against as his moves would be unpredictable. We never had a gentlemen fight before when you think about it.

Chrom+Lucina duo.

 

[Starcutter]

Honestly, Robin has the most moveset potential, especially if they call him Tactician.

 

[deebeethedeity]

Ik but the ones in parentheses are extremely requested characters. Ik he is AT now thats why I said maybe ssb5 lol

10/Greninja

but then blaza-chicken Y do you ruin my likes of ur list?

Lml I picked the most popular/unique from each region/generation. Blaziken fits that

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

The only change I want to see for Diddy is to have him use the orange grenade as a replacement for the banana peel.

From what I recall, the Banana Peel is the reason for why Diddy is ranked so high in Brawl's competitive world.

 

[James92]

I am going to post my AMAZING roster on this thread as well!
View attachment 7301

Glover confirmed as Master Hand and Crazy Hand's long lost cousin.
Also I don't know who I would main: Magikarp or Waldo?

 

[Louie G.]

Which is probably why it would go.
A significant nerf to Diddy, although they could do that by limiting him to one banana peel.

Fixed

Okay, so kind of like Diddy Kong+Olimar. I could see that.

Okay, so Layton would fight a like a hybrid of Diddy Kong and Olimar, right? I could see that.

Chrom it is then. Surprisingly no Roy fans were here to speak up.

 

[Arcadenik]

Oh, yeah. Definitely better!

That's what I don't like about the new DKC games... Diddy's barrel jetpack and Dixie's hair spin seem to be nerfed to fly a short distance...

 

[The Light Music Club]

A duo ain't happening.

I'm a Roy fan it's just I don't think Roy is coming back.

 

[Louie G.]

Lucky for us.

 

[BluePikmin11]

A duo ain't happening.

Why isn't it happening? Considering Chrom and Lucina were the most promoted, and a sword wielding duo is indeed unique, I could see it happening.

 

[Starcutter]

Fixed

No , both him and her.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

I love how his name is in his username yet you call him Henry.

Tommy, we don't need you in this conversation.

Spoiler

I just joking with you guys.

 

[Arcadenik]

Chrom+Lucina duo.

No.

Wandering Heroes are where it is at!

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Meh. Personally I'd say Roy, but honestly even with your movesets I think the two are on an even playing field, so it's up to personal preference which one should be used.

Thought honestly I'd have liked it if you kept Robin

 

[Louie G.]

Too much work.
Making two different characters fight together using separate styles and hitting the opponent one after the other.
That's a nightmare for the developers.

We said the sword wielding duo thing about Kat and Anna, and they become assist trophies.

No , both him and her.

Fair Enough as long as the female is included

 

[Arcadenik]

Exactly... hence Wandering Heroes.

 

[Curious Villager]

How would he (Professor Layton) even fight?

With a mother****ing Slot Machine Gun!

 

[Louie G.]

I support Layton now that I saw that slot machine gun.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Too much work.

Not really, considering we currently have someone who does a duo mechanic already.
Counting the possible Diddy+Dixie Duo and the Ice Climbers, I don't think it's much of a problem. If he wants to a Chrom+Lucina duo, he's willingly going to, no matter how much of a nightmare it is.

Because Chrom on his own is more than enough, and duo characters in general aren't unique anymore.

That's your opinion then.
But I still think it's a possibility.

I did design them to be on even playing field, seeing as both are built around a gameplay mechanic that involves their blades. I guess Exalt's Blade wins over Burning Touch.

Although, if this is what I really wanted...I'd have Tiki before any of them.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

No.

Wandering Heroes are where it is at!

Making a thread...

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

The only reason I see as to why people support Chrom is because of how big of an impact his game had, never anything good to say about Chrom himself. I feel Awakening can be represented in many other ways, but if you really want a character to represent it, Marth and (to a lesser extent) Ike already represent the game to an extent.

 

[M23-X0]

Discuss my roster :

• Amongst the elite 5, IMO, only 3 will make the cut : Mewtwo, Little Mac and Palutena.
I know it's taboo here to not put Ridley nor K. Rool on the roster, but I sincerely don't see them in the next SSB (even if I'm hoping to be wrong).

• Jigglypuff is cut. Is somebody capable of giving me an answer about why they are keeping her here even if she's not revelant anymore ? (SSB64 I know, but I heard that Ness would have been cut in Brawl if Mother 3 wasn't delayed). So, I would prefer a Kalos trainer with the 3 new starters which is more revelant.

• Ike is cut and replaced with Chrom and Robin (I'm biased here, because I really want the Avatar xD)

• Smash Bros is about representing all the history of Nintendo, not just the big ones. So, new franchises are added : Golden Sun (Isaac), Xenoblade (Shulk), Sutte Hakkun (Hakkun), Duck Hunter (the dog), Punch Out (Little Mac) and the new IP that Miyamoto is working on (what do you think ?). We have thus, both new and retro franchises.


I know that my roster is really different from what we saw here, and I also know that some characters won't make the cut (Bomberman, both Shulk and Isaac, Hakkun nor the dog) but I wanted to add some diversity to the roster, because this is what Smash Bros is about.

Actually, most of the people who seem to be telling you to include Chrom were supporters of his even before your moveset. So again, it's personal preference.

Although, if this is what I really wanted...I'd have Tiki before any of them.

DO EET.
