But there are 4 Zelda characters :scared: (It includes Sheik)
And again to implement new characters, and again if you look at the DLC slot, DLC still applies.
(Now I must rest to sleep, goonight!)

But eventually the Smash roster will be too big, don't you think? The veterans aren't always going to come back if there's more games (and thus, too many characters). That's probably why Sakurai is insisting on working on the veterans than adding plenty of newcomers, because there's a limit for how many characters you can have on the roster and most likely doesn't want to cut too many of them just yet.

And I'm aware of 'star power' but that doesn't mean that they should be kept the same. Are you honestly saying you'd be happy if Marth stayed the same forever? With no changes whatsoever? Pretty much every veteran has changed between games, and that's to keep them interesting and not a v1.1 of the character.

Someone like Mario can still change for what we know. FLUDD could have the ability to float/recover like in the Sunshine games for all we know, and we haven't seen Link's side special which could be entirely different, and we still haven't seen Bowser or Samus in full detail so there's hope they'll be different. But nonetheless, Sakurai has always tweaked the veterans with new moves with every passing game so I'm confident he'll do something with Marth to not make him Brawl Marth v2.

Any insights in what should I remove or change to make a better roster? The only thing that should be kept is the limit of 44 characters, anymore characters and I think it will be overkill.

I'm fairly confident that Kid Icarus will get another character (which is probably why the franchise was 'advertised' in the trailer) but otherwise a pretty good roster!

Tweaking and changing moves are 2 entirely different things. Tweaking is jsut doing a small change here and there but overall keeping the moveset the same, like Mario getting Fludd in Brawl when he didn't have it Melee ove spin and spin getting mapped to Dair that is a tweak but overall his moveset stayed the same. What it seems like you are suggesting is changing movesets completly, and reasoning that it is because characters will get old because of this. Look at all of the other vets, they have had pretty much had the overall same moveset with a few tweaks here and there with no signifcant changes really. What you seem to be suggesting however are signifcant changes.

Also would I be happy if Math played the same way forever in Smash games? In all honest yet I would. His moveset to me is basically perfect and doesn't really need any tweaks or changes and the only really plausible one would be to change up Dancing Blade up a little bit, but just a small tweak to it like Dancing Blade from Melee to Brawl. There are allot of character that have movesets that fit them perfectly and don't need drastic changes to them. Heck most of the characters in Smash don't need drastic changes done to them. :/

Fair enough but I personally wouldn't want a character to stayexactly the same forever. They would just become outdated.
And by 'tweaks', I meant a new move/special attack. That was lost in translation due to English not being my first language. But let's just agree to disagree.

I'd remove Pac-Man and add a Zelda character, remove Mii for Palutena and replace Krystal with Wolf. Maybe remove Isaac for a new FE character.

Dunno about you, but... doesn't this roster looks pretty small? At least in length. Roster in the Smash series were pretty lengthy- the length was basically twice or more the height. Also, if you noticed, each game introduced more games than the previous: Smash 64 introduced the original 12, Melee introduced 13, Brawl introduced 15, and this game should introduce somewhere between 16-20 characters.
