I don't think any new series will get more than one rep. Mostly because new series that have chances of being added are generally small, like xenoblade or GS and C&P. As far as Retros I've liked the idea of Muddy Mole for a while, as well as Duck Hunt Dog. A super wtf, like R.O.B

What do you fellows generally feel about Pacman.
best choice imo

If we get a namco rep I want the soul destroying dark manifestation known only as....

just so I can see him and Ganon fight.
I'd love to see Nightmare in the game, especially since I'd like to see Ganondorf use that huge broadsword he was supposed to use in OoT which he's seen wielding in artwork in Melee. Also, can we make him Soul Calibur 4 Nightmare, I think that one was the best design, especially since it's the only Nightmare that's not actually possessing someone else and is the Soul Edge incarnate. :p

True. Thus far, the only franchises that got more than one rep on the game they were introduced into were Mario (Mario and Luigi in the original), Pokémon (Pikachu and Jigglypuff in the original) and Fire Emblem (Marth and Roy in Melee).

Also, I've been thinking of a character I made up, "Tetrisman", who might fit into the "super wtf" category (although WFT pretty much fits that category pretty well)

And I think Pac-Man might make it.

Actually, not really, he's accordingly possessing a man by the name of Graf Dumas, who is now in turn the new host of Soul Edge. It's explained through the story mode of SC5 that Dumas/Nightmare was manipulating Patroklos into killing malfested, where you see Dumas undergo a transformation into Nightmare, who is later killed by Z.W.E.I. who is then also killed by Pyrrha after she becomes the new host of Soul Edge.

See I knew i should have started the story mode from the begging instead of just playthrough my brothers.

Well...at least I didn't give the biggest secret of the game, so don't worry. :p

PS: The story mode is kind of boring, so I'm not surprised you skipped over it at first, the only bonus is unlocking a couple of characters, and also, if you're a user of Suzuka in SC4, I recommend playing the story mode to get the character that took her fighting style.

I mean. I don't want anybody ridiculous. Everyone I want playable could be playable and wouldn't be out of place or recieved nagatively. It's just I've noticed none of my most wanted are extremely wanted. Like Pacman. I go over all the time why he should and how he could be in the game. It makes sense to have Pacman with the iconic 3rd parties he's accepted already. I mean Sonic, Pacman, Megaman, and Mario....thats covering all bases of video game icons from varying ages. With Snake getting lucky having Sakurai putting him in for personal reasons. But it kindof built him, and now he's accepted.
Then there's Tingle...who should be an obvious next in line LoZ character. I mean, he's in a TON of main series games and then two of his own. It doesn't get much more obvious after the 3 main characters that the series revolves around. In comparison to Impa? She's no more important to the story than princess Zora or Darunia in oot. And that's how it is for all Loz games she appears in. I'll grant it in the main series Tingle is even LESS important, but that doesn't effect his liklihood. If he's in the game it's a boost of chance regardless of his role. In fact he has even been in more games LoZ games than all of the most requested LoZ newcomers I see. Not to mention his appearance as an assist trophy in Brawl.
And of course, Dillon. Nintendo's newest IP, that has already had a sequel, and a puzzle swap panel on the 3DS. The look of his character alone makes me want him in smash, not to mention how unique of a fighter he would be. Then how his presence would confirm that Nintendo is not done with his series. At first I liked his chances. Seemed likely, due to the fact that Sakurai said not too long ago in an interview that Nintendo was in desperate need of "Cool, New IPs" and he seems to fit that description to the T. But when you get down to the nitty gritty....Dillon is just not important. He is a character from eShop with two games. looks like the only way he has a chance is if Sakurai has a preference for him, or he actually sees him worthy. And to be fair that could happen, with him having thrown characters in the game before with 2 games.

Why did I say all of this? Idk. I was bored. Discuss pls

Nightmare would have been a cool character to use. But I would prefer any incarnation that isn't the SC4 one. I always found that design to be too busy. With the glowing orb in his gut being the thing a dislike the most. Though the suits from SC2, SC3, and SC5 are the best in my opinion. Heck even Siegfried would be a choice for Soul Calibur character. But I suppose that one could be a costume for the other anyways.

Yeah. That's a pretty good suit too. But I normally prefer Nightmare's Player 1 suits. Though this is definitely the best Player 2 suit. Speaking of Soul Calibur, did any hear what happened recently? SC2 is getting re-released on the PSN and XLBA. The best part is that is gonna get some online features.

  • Krystal over Wolf won't happen, it's unlikely she'll be playable at all.
  • Meowth over JigglyPuff does not make sense
  • Geno will NEVER happen, the addition makes no sense whatsoever, and is the most random one of all. He's not a major Mario character and why would we have this no longer existing Square Enix character over Paper Mario or Bowser Jr?
  • If there is room for Zoroark then there is room for Lucario, meaning Lucario would get in over him.
  • Chrom over Ike doesn't make sense either, Ike is the most popular lord of all not counting Marth. If you only have 2 FE characters it should be Marth & Ike.
  • Impa is unlikely, she's not a major Zelda character. She's Zelda's assistant. And if you have 5 Zelda reps, one of them should be Toon Link.
  • Pac-Man is not as likely as most think. Namco Characters aren't getting any special treatment for working on the game. If you don't have Snake I suggest Bomberman, I also suggest having less Third-Party Characters.
  • You should also add Takamaru and Starfy.
Also I love your profile pic, here is a better roster maker:http://www.mediafire.com/download/iiau3bbucu3eyxe/SSB_Roster_Maker-v.6.1.zip


If you need more pics feel free to rip from my roster.

Wolf shouldnt get dropped for Krystal. its honestly a downgrade really
if ur gonna have Diddy and Dixie they should be seperate
i would also drop characters like Impa or Tingle in exchange for Toon Link
and Ridley should probably b in your roster somewhere

other stuff is just nitpicks but nothing i take serious issue with

I find it funny that everyone says Diddy and Dixie should be separate, yet Sakurai's original plan for Brawl was them as a team, and Dixie is severely limited on her own.

1. personally i would drop Impa before Tingle. but that said neither are necessary.
2. Dixie and Diddy have virtually no similarities other than their sizes.
3. oh ur one of those people who assume he's out because of that stage
4. that is honestly the first time ive ever heard that excuse lol

Doesn't really confirm that he's out though. That's a different Link than Toon Link and Sakarai said that he was trying to bring back everyone from previous Smash games, so I doubt Toon Link is cut yet. Whether he makes it into the game or not, I don't really care.

no she hasnt. she's been in Skyward Sword, Oracles of Ages/Seasons, Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda and the Adventure of Link
and Wolf was intended to be in Brawl. he was actually considered back in Melee.

Hear that guys? Everybody is now Impa.

He's Impa, she's Impa, they're Impa, I'm Impa!

Are there any other Impas we need to know about?

As far as I know both are getting Heihachi. Given that they would have to get Image Comic's permission for Spawn and Nintendo's for Link. But they still might have Necrid since he's partly owned by Namco.

can somebody grade my roster 2.0
For the most part I agree with it. But a few things.

1) Drop Impa and/or Tingle. But mostly Impa. Given that most things that she can do can be done by Sheik. Or at the very least, throw her in together with Zelda.

2) Swap Krystal for Wolf.

3) Throw in Marth somewhere in there. Possibly cut Ike for Chrom if you really don't like the idea of 3 Fire Emblem characters being added in a Smash Bros game.

4) Maybe throw in another Nintendo character for Pac-man.

5) Like someone else said, you could add Ridley in there somewhere.
