Donkey Kong
Yoshi
Wario
Samus
Fox
Pikachu
Tom Nook
Pit
Little Mac
Olimar
Kirby
Captain Falcon
Ness
Marth

Any others?

In this regard, I'd really like it if Diddy was to be paired up with DK. As in DKC Returns.

It has by now happened more than Diddy and Dixie pair ups, counting: DK Jungle Climber, DKC: Returns, DKC: Returns 3DS and DKCR Tropical Freeze. So yeah. Basically imagine, DK's regular moves, Diddy's Up B, Side B becomes Peanut Popgun shot by Diddy, and Diddy assists in some Smashes and aerials.

Otherwise, it would most likely be this. Zero Suit Samus can still be playable to however.

Also I forgot to mention that the 3rd gen of Pokemon is not yet represented in a Smash game.

And except a Hoenn Trainer, there's not a lot of choices to represent it.

Deoxys ? Another legendary psychic Pokemon is already utter-likely to return.

Plusle and Minum ? Gawd no, they are two of the Pokemon I like the least.

Hoenn being unrepresented is no excuse for replacing Red. As I said before, that's like replacing Marth with another Fire Emblem lord, or Snake with Raiden.

Yeah, I doubt Sakurai even cares about Gen Representation.

And we did have Gen 3 representation in Brawl. We had Rayquaza as a boss. If anything, I bet the same will happen to Gen 5.

Still, it would be a bit a waste if Pokemon Trainer's original moveset is not used with other generations' starters.
And I really don't see 2 trainers in the same game. :ohwell:

No, it wouldn't be a waste. I've already explained why Pokemon Trainer Red makes far more sense than Pokemon Trainer Brendan or Gold or Gary or whomever else people may suggest. Red is the most re-occurring Pokemon protagonist, the domino that sets every event in both the first and second generation into place, and his starters are the most popular. He inspired Ash and quite simply, among average people (aka "filthy casuals" :troll: ) more people would want to play as Charizard than any other starter. There won't be two Pokemon Trainers and Pokemon Trainer won't be replaced by a different trainer.

Just one Pokémon boss is good.

And like Manly, I feel old being a 1990 born and 23 years old.

My top picks:

Petey Piranha or Bouldergeist
Gohma or Vaati
Regigigas or Kyurem
Mother Brain
Dyna Blade
Goras or Bacoon (Star Fox)
Kraken of the Sea or The Barrier Trio (Earthbound)
Twinbellows
Titan Dweevil or Quaggled Mireclops (Pikmin)
Guts Man Tank

I'd really like to see some puzzle bosses. Like, bosses where your job isn't to just wail on it constantly, but to make use of exposing a weakpoint. Opening up Bacoon's shell to do massive damage and a colossus-climb style fight with the Mireclops come to mind as examples.

Honestly this is one of the most interesting boss lists I've seen, especially because it has variety unlike "Huge thing that can go around"

I thought there wasn't going to be a story-mode like SSE? I suppose they could do a boss rush mode anyway like they did in Brawl.

As long as all the bosses actually come from Nintendo games I'm not too fussed. If I have to fight generic-mech and his 17 friends again I will not be best pleased.

Nothing to say we couldn't get a Melee-like adventure mode with bosses instead of staged character fights. Go through Mushroom Kingdom, fight Petey. Go through a Zelda Dungeon, fight Gohma. Go through Tourian, fight Mother Brain. So on.

All two of them.

Three? That Duon, man.

Twinrova would be a sweet boss.

Yellow Devil HAS to be a Boss now that Megaman is in, and Fawful and Mother Brain are must have bosses as well.

You know who I'd love to see as bosses?

Gruntilda and Death.

Fighting Death would be intense, and Grunty would be worth it for the nostalgia alone.

I hope we get Metal Gear REX as a boss too, that'd be awesome.

There's actually 4 Non-Nintendo bosses. Tabuu, Duon and Galleom is fought twice. Considering the Nintendo bosses are Rayquaza, Petey, Porky and the two Ridley forms, that's 4/9 non-Nintendo bosses. To say nothing about the normal enemies being mostly generic primids and other all-sorted rubbish.

I don't see why not, I mean, the legal issues are sorted might as well make the most of it. If we can get 3rd party ATs, Bosses should be doable as well.

Eggman an REX should have been bosses in Brawl.

Which, btw, Eggman needs to be a Boss in Smash4 as well.

Wait, how are Tabuu, Duon and Galleom Non-Nintendo bosses? Is Super Smash Bros a Non-Nintendo series now? :dizzy:

I think what you guys should say are Smash-Original bosses... I don't know, it just sounds.... less wrong.... :/
