This could definitely go a few different ways. Know its not nessassarily direct competition but seeing Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat go with rosters just over 20 with longterm dlc support has me wonder if thats a new general direction we could see as well. Perhaps we could also see some sort of Kameo or expansion for assists too to help soften the blow of a much smaller roster.

Here what mine would look like as of right now.

Base Game
  1. :ultmario:
  2. :ultpeach:
  3. :ultlink:
  4. :ultzelda:
  5. :ultganondorf:
  6. :ultpikachu:
  7. Gardevoir
  8. Gholdengo
  9. :ultkirby:
  10. :ultmetaknight:
  11. :ultsamus: / :ultzss:

  12. :ultdk:
  13. :ultwario:
  14. :ultvillager:
  15. Nooklings
  16. :ultinkling:
  17. Alear
  18. Noah
  19. Rescue Corp Rookie
  20. Andy
  21. Takamaru
Year 1 Pass
  1. :ultfox:
  2. :ultsteve:
  3. :ultyoshi:
  4. Crash Bandicoot
Year 2 Pass
  1. :ultpit:
  2. :ultsonic:
  3. Urshifu
  4. Arle
Year 3 Pass
  1. Stoutheart Rex
  2. :ultkazuya:
  3. :ultdiddy: & Dixie
  4. Lloyd Irving
Year 4 Pass
  1. :ultluigi:
  2. :ultmegaman:
  3. Lyn
  4. Dante
Year 5 Pass
  1. Sylux
  2. 2B
  3. :ultfalcon:
  4. Warrior of Light (FF14)
Also at some point a special playable bosses mode would be added that makes the below playbable exclusively in this mode
  1. :ultbowser:
  2. Ganon
  3. :ultmewtwo:
  4. :ultkingdedede:
  5. :ultridley:
  6. :ultkrool:
  7. DJ Octavio
  8. Edelgard
  9. Z (Xenoblade)
  10. Ancient Sirehound (Pikmin 4 Spoiler)

If there was a Year 6, it would have a Konami thematic?

Hadnt really thought at all about who would be next honestly, Certainly possible, can picture Alucard getting a chance. Not sure on the other fighter though, could stick with Snake or maybe try a fighter from Bomberman, Contra, Silent Hill or Suikoden.

Assuming that the base roster next game is between base For and Ultimate’s rosters, I’ll make two rosters between 55 and 65 before echoes, where the latter has more choices for what I want in the game.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Yoshi, Wario, Ashley
Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Toon Link, Samus, Ridley, Marth, Ike, Robin, Pit
Pikachu, Pokemon Trainer, Lucario, Greninja, Tinkaton, Jigglypuff, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee
Villager, Isabelle, Tom Nook, Inkling, DJ Octavio, Shulk, Aegis, Fox, Falco, Captain Falcon
Ness, Olimar, Ring Fit Trainee, Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch, Isaac, Sonic, Bayonetta, Mega Man, Ryu,
Pac-Man, Rayman, Sans, Mii Fighter
Echoes: Daisy, Dark Samus, Dark Pit, Lucina, Octoling, Ken
Note: Tinkaton is just a placeholder character.
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Yoshi, Wario, Ashley, Mr. Game & Watch
Link, Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf, Toon Link, Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Ridley, Marth, Ike, Robin
