Roster Prediction Discussion Thread

[Louie G.]

What about Plankton, he was the main antagonist of Punch Out x Spongebob Squarepants, which was released for the WiiThrii in 2021.

There's always "that guy" in a thread, isn't there?

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

Umm.... EXCUSE ME?! I LOVE KH! SORA'S UNLIKELY BUT I REALLY REALLY WANT HIM IN!!!! DID YOU NOT SEE MY POST?!

Oh, it's at the very top of the page.

Doh I missed.

 

[Knight Dude]

No way, El Cyber Ryu from Punch Out!! X Street Fighter 2035 has a better chance than him!

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Is there anyone on this thread who'd like to see Sora or KH content in Smash?

Yep yep yep! I'd love KH content in Smash.

Sora would be my first choice for a Square Enix character in Smash. (The Black Mage would be my second choice)

 

[Mega Bidoof]

There's always "that guy" in a thread, isn't there?

Yes, I took a vow to Miyamoto, Sakurai, and Iwata that I would not rest until I completely annoy the Roster prediction thread because Sakurai wanted to make a game were people will actually be quiet instead of fighting over people who is is probably not going to put into the game. So until then I must be "that guy" who helps others, acts a good citizen, and SAVES THE WORLD!!'

FOR THE LAAAAAAAAND OF THE FREEEEE, AND THE HOOOOME OF THEEEEEEEE BRAAAAAAAAVE!!!!

WHY DO PEOPLE WORSHIP SORA SO MUCH...
There are plenty of better Square Enix reps out there, and TONS of better 3rd Party reps.
This is why I don't like Sora.

I personally don't like Sora.

 

[3Bismyname]

Sora as a character im not a fan of. he's a fairly standards hero archetype who's perfect to a fault really. Kingdom Hearts was always better to me for the environments, gameplay and the fact that im a Disney fan.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

No way, El Cyber Ryu from Punch Out!! X Street Fighter 2035 has a better chance than him!

Actually I think we are all forgetting about Le Mecha Sora TimmyTurner Bieber 3,069 from Punch Out!! x Kingdom Hearts x Fairly Odd Parents x Bieber Fever released in 2074 for the Wii Fiftiin,
Sigh, what a classic.

Oh, and he can use his retro design from the SNES version.

 

[Louie G.]

Hey, let's talk about the newcomers who will ACTUALLY MAKE IT IN.
The most likely in my opinion:
Little Mac
Takamaru
Mewtwo
Mii
Palutena

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

I personally don't like Sora.

Well, Sora is kinda goofy and Anime-ish, swings a giant key, sounds like an 8-year old in the first KH game despite being 14 years old, and hangs out with a talking duck and dogface, so I guess those are some reasons. XD

I wasn't saying that Sora was likely; there are some hoops to jump through since he's owned by both Square and Disney if I recall, but I'd like to see KH stuff in smash nonthless.

A very reasonable 46 character roster. It gets my A-Ok.
Mr. Game & Watch is technically a caricature of the entire Game and Watch library. There was no "Mr. Game & Watch" before Melee. Yes the character is based off of the design of the characters in those games, but not all of those characters were the same person. The only issue with Diskun utilizing abilities from Famicom games is that unlike Mr. Game and Watch, it doesn't really match in design with those games (Of course, that won't stop the Villager from using Balloon Fighter's signature flight method and Punch-Out!!-like boxing gloves). But it wouldn't prevent Diskun's stubby little arms from using other Famicom peripherals.

That's what I'm saying, Mr. Game & Watch is an incarnation of all Game & Watch characters, Diskun is not an incarnation of NES characters which is why I suggested that an "Ages" like character would make more sense, as he/she could transform into all these characters. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Villager collect Boxing Gloves and Balloon Fight stuff in one of the Animal Crossing games?

I'm watching a video about Mr. Game and Watch's origins and how that transferred to smash bros. You can not like playing as the character or whatever but you can't deny how awesome it is how he can have such a unique and creative moveset with absolutely no moves that were made up or improvised (prove me wrong on that, I dare you. If you succeed you get to feel the accomplishment of proving me wrong) Point is Mr. Game and Watch is an awesome and underrated character =P

What the hell are you talking about!? Mr. Game & Watch is the most creative character in the ENTIRE Smash Bros. series. I LOVE him. Why on earth would you think I don't?

R.O.B. was never in a game, he was a hardware associated with the game.

This is completely irrelevant to the topic, ROB still has established characteristics as appose to Diskun who's only established characteristic is being a drawing of a human-like disk. This isn't about not being a video game character (although ROB was in Mario Kart DS just to point out that he was in a game, not that it had any influence in his inclusion so to speak)

Also, Diskun is more than a square, in fact, I'm not sure what he is exactly.

Ummmmmm...............a DISK?

And the rewritable floppy discs add to Diskun because it allows for him to incorporate new moves into his fighting style, or possibly multiple fighting styles into one single style of overall play.

How does rewriting disks add to your move set?

The thing is basically the God of the Famicom so to speak, not so in the sense that it's high and mighty, but it's like it's supposed to be the one that creates the images on screen.

He's the god of a peripharal for the Famicom, that is to say the format in which a game is played on (a disk). Where the heck did you get the idea that Diskun is the god of famicom?

No, "Sparky" is G&W's Up Aerial. His neutral A is a Donkey Kong 3 reference. And the quote you provided was "Mr. Game & Watch actually DID these things." My point is that, if we're clarifying WHO did these things, that is false, because that would be Donkey Kong Jr. and Stanley.

Mr. Game & Watch is an incarnation of all Game & Watch characters and everything Game & Watch, he is Mr. Game & Watch so he can use anything from a Game & Watch game and morphy into ANY Game & Watch character (EX: Scuba Diver, Octopus). Diskun is not Mr. Famicom and is only seen on the manuals of Famicom DISK games. He's not an incarnation of NES sprites or pixels.

I would TOTALLY support Diskun if somebody suggested a way to implement him that seemed feasible. I mean the idea of having a mascot of a game console is tempting and seems legit. If the mascot was something more than a disk (like say a robot ) I'd add him to my prediction list. But, so far he is the mascot of a peripheral and has no defined characteristics other than being a rewritable disk...

I think I may be the only one who doesn't over-estimate Palutena's chances for Smash 4.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Why not Zoidberg

Little Mac
Takamaru
Mewtwo

Palutena

I'll add "a superheavyweight newcomer," because we've never not gotten one of those. This leads me to expect at least one out of K. Rool or Ridley, because otherwise, we're either not getting a heavyweight newcomer at all for the first time, we're getting someone entirely out of left field, or someone else we're expecting would have an uncharacteristically heavy weight (Palutena or Shulk, for example). All of those seem bizarre possibilities to me, moreso than the addition of one of those two.

Hey guys,what's your opinion about ice climbers?
I personally hate them and I prefer that they don't return... (stupid grabs).

 

[TheLastJinjo]

The only PURE shoe-ins are Mewtwo and Takamaru

 

[Autumn ♫]

Even they are not pure shoe-ins. The only pure shoe-ins are characters like Zelda, Ganondorf, Diddy, and the sort.

You MIGHT be out of luck there. (see below, don't think anyone has posted this on the site yet)

 

[Seraphim.]

I don't think any possible newcomer should be considered a "shoe-in" personally.

personally im a fan of them. playstyle and conceptually. and I suck at the grab thing so... yeah.

 

[MargnetMan23]

Quick question, I'm not a naysayer or anything but what are the factors that make Takamaru so likely? I kind of feel the need to get educated =3

 

[3Bismyname]

idk. im fairly confident that Megaman is a shoe in at this point

Well, I find him the best rep for Square Enix, as he has actually been on a Nintendo console before (unlike Cloud for example). But I do like the Dragon Quest Hero.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Sakurai obviously wants to surprise us, all confirmed characters are going to be cut and all the veterans and popular characters.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Okay, the only "newcomer" I'd be surprised not to see would be Mewtwo. He has a fairly good chance, but not a shoe-in. No one is really a shoe-in.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Don't be so rash, you'll just disappoint yourself.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Ridley, K.Rool, Mewtwo and Takamaru are sure to be revealed at the E3 trailer people!

I wanted to say K. Rool, but there are characters more likely than him. Although he is a front runner.

You MIGHT be out of luck there. (see below, don't think anyone has posted this on the site yet)

I love Brawl in the Family to death.
I'm gonna guess everyone else here does too.

PURE.
Shoe-in.
Pure + Shoe-in = Purin
Jigglypuff confirmed.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

What has convinced you that Takamaru is a shoe-in? (I'm not familiar with his game/franchise)

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I can't sleep because the faces they make when they flip the cards over really haunt my dreams
And I LOVE Brawl In The Family

EDIT: now that I think about the faces are not terrifying, it just makes them look they have gas.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

What has convinced you that Takamaru is a shoe-in? (I'm not familiar with his game/franchise)

"MUH NINTENDO LAND"

Also, Sakurai said something about considering Takamaru as a fighter if his game was remade.

 

[TumblrFamous]

Honestly, one must not get confused with "Who I want" and "Who's really likely". I came to a sad realization with Palutena. While somewhat likely, she is definitely no shoe-in.

There's no predicting Sakurai, is what I'm trying to say.

 

[BKupa666]

All I'll say on the shoo-in subject is that, if you're one of the folk who claims that "there are no shoo-ins," you're talking out of both sides of your mouth if you claim there ever were shoo-ins for any Smash game to begin with. Just because "arguments" can be extracted from the ass to cast doubt on a character's inclusion doesn't mean that said "arguments" are actual causes for doubt. Oftentimes, "arguments" are a product of users trying to cut the dominant characters down to size so as to maintain the appearance of a level playing field for newcomers (or just plain ignorance). "Little Mac might not be wanted enough in Japan" (because every character included thus far totally is) is no more valid than, say, "Diddy might not be included in Brawl because he wasn't created in Japan."
