I remember when people thought Ridley was a certain addition to Brawl. And then R.O.B. happened.
So yea, I don't think we can really be certain of anything. If we were making educated guesses though, I'd bet on Pac Man and Little Mac.

Also, I believe it's shoo-in guys, not shoe-in ...

I know. I get it mixed up. I admit my faults...

But honestly, I feel there were shoo-ins in the previous installments. But we've basically gotten everyone we need for the games, except maybe a next DK rep, Mewtwo, and possibly a Metroid rep. So the roster could just go up a few characters from different franchises. I dunno. Personally, we have everyone we really need, except the ones listed above, so no one is truly all but confirmed at this point.

Sakurai's decisions scares me.

Eh, Zelda and Yoshi are probably equally likely. Theres no reason to cut either of them, they both have unique movesets and are important to their series and are popular characters. Cutting Zelda is the same as cutting Peach, being the main love interest of their respective series' protagonists and being a fighting princess and all. And by cutting Yoshi, they would kill a represented franchise in Smash.

I was actually fine with Nintendog...

But I don't know who the heck Nintendouji is anyway.
It's a Japan only Club Nintendo reward for Gold / Platinum members. It is a DSiware title, but it is only obtainable for the 3DS. You can learn more about him and his style of play here.
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.
Well you don't need to create an "Ages" like character, just use Diskun. It doesn't need to use the powers of Famicom heroes, it was merely a suggestion.
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?
The Villager can obtain Punch-Out!! and Balloon Fight as playable minigames in the original Animal Crossing.
But that is about it.

Hey Golden, if it wasn't for Sora there wouldn't be a Super Smash Bros. game in development nor we would of gotten Kid Icarus: Uprising.

I give it a 10/10. I'd be perfectly happy with this roster.
Perfect score? Very nice, thanks.

And I genuinely do think that Jigglypuff being the most likely to be cut is complete bull****.
Oh and overall rating? Well if my eyes haven't decieved me jiggs is the only character cut from this roster. Again, I call bull****. This roster isn't bad at all but realistically I don't think Muddy Mole's happening 9.2/10
So if I had Jigglypuff over Muddy Mole would I have gotten a 10/10? :p

This is literally my roster but with Dixie instead of K. Rool and Chrom instead of Jigglypuff.Have you been reading my mind or something!?!?!
I'm you from the future. Dixie and Chrom are confirmed, so you made the changes. No, but seriously, my roster was even closer to yours before. I had K. Rool originally, but I later found Dixie to be somewhat more likely. I also had Jigglypuff originally, but I wanted to remove at least one veteran. I even thought about leaving out Chrom at one point. I guess great minds think alike... that doesn't sound arrogant at all. P.S. your roster rocks!

Oh wow, I suppose that is true then.

Also thanks! I like to keep it visually interesting. It's always changing (I've already got a couple of visual changes in mind for future versions).

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
Little Mac
Mewtwo (I do consider him a veteran though, since that's what he is, a returning character)
Palutena
Chrom

These are imo the most likely. At least either Ridley or K. Rool are getting in too, maybe even both. If K. Rool isn't in, then Dixie is.

Can anyone find a 3D Ninten pic?

Or at least a good looking one?

And Shulk would be cool too.

Roster.

Pick your preferred design.
I tried to make something for Shulk but it didn't end up looking too good, but I'll keep experimenting with things.

I've also made that slight change in appearance to my roster, which you can find here (if you're interested in seeing what the visual differences are).

Hmmm...if I was to take a guess the only newcomer that's super likely...at least from a speculation point of view is Little Mac.

Mewtwo's a returning vet, although I do think he's more likely than Little Mac even. He's been in Smash before, is hugely popular, is probably the most requested character to get (back) in smash. I'll be surprised and disappointed if he doesn't get back in, since it means people's requests only matter for the likes of Third Parties.

Palutena is weirdly popular here and I'm not sure why she's THIS popular a choice. I wouldn't consider her a shoo-in by any means. Three games in the entire series shouldn't equate to a shoo-in. Whilst I'm indifferent to Ridley and K. Rool being included, I can understand why people see them as likely. They're at least fairly well known worldwide whilst Kid Icarus was all but forgotten until recently.

I honestly do think DK will get a newcomer rep, but I'm leaning more towards Dixie getting in than K. Rool. Not even sure why.

Ridley could go either way. If he's kept out this time, clearly Sakurai doesn't want him in. There's little other reason for his non inclusion.

I meant like just the image, because I'm not using roster maker right now, but thanks!

Just to spark some conversation, lets say there are only 2 3rd party characters this time around. One is Megaman, obviously, but who do you think will be the other and which one do you want to be the other? (It can be Snake or Sonic returning, or someone else.)

For me, I have a strong feeling sonic will return, for a couple reasons.

The relationship between Sega and Nintendo is stronger than it ever has been. They announced that there would be 3 Sonic games exclusive to Nintendo. We know 2 of them, Lost World and that Olympics game, why cant the third be Smash? Its kind of foolish to think that, but all the secrecy seems kind of unnecessary if theres nothing to hide.

Sony might want to keep Snake for the next PSABR, and for good reason, because he is a major Sony character, regardless of the small number of games that has been on Nintendo consoles. Nintendo made a good decision having him, but it probably wont be that simple this time around.

For my want, I have 2 choices, either Ganbare Goemon, because using a giant wooden pipe to beat people up would be pretty fun(ny).
My other choice is Rayman, I have been a fan since his first game on the PC, and Legends was pretty fantastic (even though its way past the cutoff date for roster selection)

What do you guys think?

If it's limited to two. I have no doubt in my mind it'd be Megaman and the return of Sonic. One veteran 3rd party, one Newcomer.

I would prefer it though if both Sonic and Snake returned with Megaman though. But if that's the way it's going to be then just have the 2 blue 3rd Parties that have been requested for like... ever. (And keep them as the recurring 3rd parties for the rest of the franchise if there's more SSBs after this one)

Good morning all. Well, classes are already over for the day, just planning on checking in before I go grab myself something to eat.

This is literally my roster but with Dixie instead of K. Rool and Chrom instead of Jigglypuff.

Have you been reading my mind or something!?!?!
And your roster looks almost exactly like mine but with The Mii in place of Muddy Mole. I guess good minds do think alot alike.

Funny how people think Ridley is too big, yet characters like Doshin the Giant and Andross are arguably the true definition of too big. :troll:

Well obviously a 15 foot tall Pterosaur Alien is taller than giant floating head the size of a space station. :p

Why not use a Metroid example with Kraid?
But didn't you know? Asking for Ridley to be playable is like asking for Kraid to be playable...it's not like Kraid is about three times the size of Ridley or anything, that would be ridiculous. ;)

And yet he is playable. :laugh:
That's not exactly a good reference seeing as it's mainly a final smash, unless you count by cheats in Melee, and also the argument "Having Ridley playable would be like having Giga Bowser playable" has been used one too many times. Also next to size I hear terms like "Oh, well Ridley would just clip through everything because he's too big"

Hell, someone literally said that "Ridley can't be based on a Pterosaur because they don't have arms"...Sonic isn't covered head to toe in Sharp Spines and has humanoid arms...Sonic's not a Hedgehog.

(I need to stop checking my youtube comments...)

Clipping is the most horrible excuse ever devised.
Yes, even worse than the "too big" excuse, despite being an addendum to it.
