Hey guys,
So we currently have 33 characters on the official Smash Wii U roster confirmed... (MY ROSTER PREDICTIONS)
We know 100% that the official 12 will be back so that's 3 more characters (Ness, Jiggly, and Mr. FALCON PAWNCH!!! lol).
We know Meta Knight is back! That's Sakurai's baby. (He runs the series). I also expect we'll also see Ganondorf, Game & Watch, Ice Climbers, and Falco. (Cuz seriously... they're all staples). That's 5 more.
I'm kinda iffy about Wario, Wolf, and especially Mew Two. But we'll see... 3 more.
Then you've got some more Newcomers who are perfectly viable like Chrom (or some representation from "Awakening" cuz that game sold REALLY well). Shulk from Xenoblade. Ridley from Metroid (size doesn't matter. If Sakurai wants him in he'll easily figure something out). And maybe even the Chorus Men that the 'Gematsu Leak' says will be in. These are all Nintendo property. 4 more there.
Lastly, I'm thinking about 3rd party representation. Sonic, Mega Man, and Pacman are great! I mean honestly those are the three greatest 3rd party reps and I'd be perfectly content with just them. However, there's still two more guys I had in mind that I believe make sense and fit well with Smash.
The first one being Snake. Yes, I know all the hate talk going around, especially with last game being only PS4 and XBox1. But at the end of the day, he's unique. He had a completely unique move set, introduced sneaky set up approaches, and he has a huge following that use him competitively. Snake would stand apart from the rest of the cast by offering that variety and diversity in playstyle that all fighting games should have, and it would be a shame to see him go.
The second and last one is both a 3rd party and a newcomer. His games, much like Sonic's games come out on Nintendo only lately. I'm talking about Rayman. I believe he fits perfectly into Smash. Plus he already has his own, unique, ranged fighting abilities.
Snake and Rayman... 2 more there.
A total of 50. That number just looks and sounds so good for this game.
Last, last thing: alternate costumes, I'm calling for this game.... Dr. Mario and Dark Pit. Not their own characters. Just alternates.
Love you Smash buddies,
SSB 4 LIFE!!
