SmashBoards Roster Evolution (11-1, break)

[SunnyDust]

Added Palutena, Shulk, Mr. Game & Watch, Ice Climbers and Wii Fit Trainer.
Total series : 24

 

[andimidna]

Cuts- Balloon Fighter

Explanation on certain additions and cut:
I found Balloon Fighter to be an eyesore on my roster, not a fan of his roster icon, and with Villager there, it seemed redundant.
I originally added Wii Fit Trainer, however, that put my retro count to 2.
That's not enough. I needed another, and the most unique choice left was Mr. Game & Watch, one of the oldest characters, and the only one that looks the way he does, he really stands out.
So with Balloon Fighter and Wii Fit Trainer off my roster, I knew I needed a surprise character. And to me, the best option was Saki. I already added Shulk, Isaac, and Andy. Saki time.
The rest of my additions are self-explanatory, and definitely deserve a spot at this point. I choose them to equalize series too.
Series balance was a major focus for me this round.

Additions-
Saki Amamiya
Goddess Palutena
Mr. Game & Watch
King K Rool
Lucario
Ridley

 

[SmasherMaster]

I added Rob, Takamaru, Game and Watch, Zero Suit Samus and Sheik.

Mostly I wanted to get the blander choices out of the way before adding my more 'different' choices.

 

[The Light Music Club]

I think at this point there are two rosters that stand out due to some odd choices? Especially one has some series allocation problems.

 

[YoshiandToad]

Huh. A few people are picking Porky over Lucas even?

This is a thing of beauty. You guys. *sniff*

 

[Gunla]

@ThatWasPeachy
@ pupNapoleon
You guys got only a few hours to post a roster. Or remind me of my eyesight failing me again.

I'll need someone to do @ Depressed Gengar 's roster again while I'm updating at the moment.

 

[pupNapoleon]

Huh. A few people are picking Porky over Lucas even?

This is a thing of beauty. You guys. *sniff*

Logic. Serious logic.

Also.. is anyone else having problems with roster maker 8? Or know another program that does not require much from a computer... meaning, very little memory and not much effort in editing (mine glitches and pauses/freezes for milliseconds too often).

I may need to ask again for someone to make my roster It's usually what takes me so long.

 

[pupNapoleon]

line one: (space) (space) Pit; Balloon Fighter; Lil Mac; Ice Climbers; Takamaru
line two: (space) Kirby, Dedede, Metaknight; Villager (female); Dillon; Olimar; C.Falcon
line three: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser; Wario; Yoshi; DK; Diddy; K.Rool
line four: Pikachu, Red, Lucario, Mewtwo; Shulk; Isaac; Marth, Ike; Ness
line five: (space): Link, Zelda, Ganondorf; Fox, Wolf; Samus, Ridley
line six: (space) (space) (space) Game and Watch; Wii Fit Trainer; Mii

I added in K Rool, Ridley, Wolf, Ike, to balance out my series representation, as I believe DK needed three for its high selling, Metroid for its popularity, Starfox because in smash it is beloved, and Fire Emblem because it is growing insanely in popularity and is massive. Could not justify too many more series without this, though now I will have other beefing up to do.
For the time being I cut zero suit. But likely not for long, I know when I will be adding her back in, just couldnt see her being the only double character, even though she is so very different from Samus, she still would be the only one with it in the name.

Finally added Ice Climbers because I love them, and wanted another series, old preferably.
Added Takamaru for the same reason, though that was a tough choice.

Almost added in Palutena, RayMK, Chibi, and wanted metroid with three reps... but it will come.

 

[SunnyDust]

Here you go, Duke.

Here you go, Duke.

WOOOHOOO, thank you Sunny. So dearly.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

@ SunnyDust could you do mine too?

 

[Gunla]

@ThatWasPeachy
You have only an hour, otherwise it's no update now, or a disqualification.
@ Depressed Gengar

 

[SmasherMaster]

I changed my roster a little bit to include the animated hero of Hyrule and the everyday mushroom man.

 

[pupNapoleon]

hmmm... so, my vote is for ____

 

[SmasherMaster]

hmmm... so, my vote is for ____

That is so funny because I voted for ____ too. Their roster really felt like it was lacking certain characters.

 

[BindingBlade]

Where is the update?

 

[Gunla]

Coming in a few hours. I'm waiting on @ThatWasPeachy as my schedule forced the time extension.
Tests and all.

If it's a no show by 6 PM Central, the disqualification hammer is let loose.
EDIT: WEAPON HAS BEEN SET LOOSE.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Sucks, he's a Palutena fan too. I'm probably gonna get voted out too.

 

[Gunla]

Due to failing to meet a time delay, @ThatWasPeachy has been eliminated via disqualification.

You know the drill! Post below who you voted for and why!

Elimination V Begins Now!
You have until 6 PM, Central Time on Friday to Vote!​

 

[The Light Music Club]

Voted for Shortie because while I love Fire Emblem, it shouldn't have three characters quite yet. Probably more so next round. Especially since Zelda and Pokemon only have three right now as well.

 

[LoneKonWolf]

same as last time,
smasher master for being too safe. blinding blade was a close second for me though

 

[SmasherMaster]

Voted for Chase due to the lack of new series. Only has Takamaru. (Little Mac, Villager, Olimar, ice Climbers, Game and Watch and ROB don't count because they have been playable in Smash before.)

 

[kylexv]

Voted for King Shadow for adding a 2nd Yoshi Character this early. Felt it was too early to add that many Mario characters

 

[Chase]

Voted for King Shadow for adding a 2nd Yoshi Character this early. Felt it was too early to add that many Mario characters

Same. His roster is also an eyesore.

 

[SunnyDust]

This.

 

[Depressed Gengar]

Voted for Chase because of Smasher Master's reason, lack of K. Rool, and Porky over Lucas.

 

[andimidna]

I see 2 Charizard-less rosters.
Kyle and King Shadow.
I see 2 Palutena-less rosters.
Duke Napoleon and King Shadow.
I see 1 Ridley-less roster.
Angelglory.

Even though I love her, I didn't mind Palutena being gone that much. Or Ridley. But Charizard is the 2nd most iconic Pokemon. That's a big deal to me.

So I compared Kyle and King Shadow.
What stuck out to me were the retros.

Ice Climbers, Mr. Game & Watch, R.O.B., Balloon Fighter

Ice Climbers, R.O.B., Duck Hunt Dog

I prefer King Shadow's list.

Then I looked at what Pokemon they put over Charizard..

Lucario, Meowth, Mewtwo

Jigglypuff, Meowth, Mewtwo

The anime isn't everything, there are games too...
I prefer King Shadow's list.

I'm voting for Kyle... I think.
I've already changed my mind a few times but I think I'm set now...

 

[Smasher 101]

Going to vote based on who I think is over/under representing the most series like I did a few times last game. Also grouping up retros and "other" series (any non-retro series not already in Smash + WFT)

Spoiler

Chase: I think DK should have three at this point, and you could use another series or two.
GRG: Seems fine.
Angelglory: I think Zelda and Pokemon should both have at least four.
The Light Music Club: Could use another DK character.
SmasherMaster: Seems fine.
BindingBlade: Seems fine.
The_Sheik: I think it's a bit too early for five Zelda characters. Could also use another retro or two and more series overall.
andimidna: Could use another Zelda character.
Smasher: hi
SunnyDust: Two DKs.
DukeNapoleon: Three Zeldas.
kylexv: Seems fine.
Shortiecanbrawl: Pokemon and Zelda at three, and I think it's a bit early for Fire Emblem to have three.
TheZombiePig: Seems fine.
KingShadow: There are other series that should get a second character before Yoshi.

So it's between Sheik and Shortie. I decided to vote for Sheik as I think she's focusing a bit too much on the larger series in general.

 

[TheZombiePig]

Voted for The Sheik, due to their roster feeling imbalanced. It displays the smallest amount of series, and has 3 series with five characters each.

 

[Angelglory]

Voted for KingShadow because of Kamek.

I can't believe I under-represented my favorite series
Well, now that I've been specifically asked to add a Zelda character I might as well...

 

[Shorts]

I don't care for Duck Hunt Dog or Toon Link, so Kyle was voted for.

 

[Tepig2000]

Voted The Light Music Club because Skull Kid over Toon Link and Sheik.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Voted The Light Music Club because Skull Kid over Toon Link and Sheik.

That doesn't make much sense to me, but whatever I guess.

The way I see it is that everyone who picks Toon Link over another Zelda character are doing the same thing as the people who picked Lucas over Porky. Why have a clone when you can have not only another villain but an overall more original character.

And Shiek is the same person as Zelda, so I think her and ZSS shouldn't be added yet.

Lucas, Shiek, ZSS, and Toon Link are all safe picks.

 

[The_Sheik]

I decided to be biased and vote for anyone that didn't have Sheik. The ones that don't have Sheik are:

Angelglory, The Light Music Club, SmasherMaster, andimidna, DukeNapoleon, kylexv, Shortiecanbrawl, TheZombiePig and KingShadow. Since there are a lot of people without Sheik (which is the biggest mistake you can make), I decided to look for other flaws. In the end I voted for KingShadow because Kamek.

This is called "bias". I like Toon Link and Sheik, but could care less about Skull Kid.

But I understand your point. Don't worry, you're not going to be eliminated.

Heh. I know what it's called bub.

Anyway. I wish this next hour would be over with already. I want to know who I'm adding next before I have to go to Prom.

 

[Gunla]

This elimination saw the fall of @ Depressed Gengar . You had a good run!

Break VI Begins Now!
You have until Sunday to send in your roster!​

 

[Chase]

• PAPER MARIO FOLDS ONTO THE FIELD - I wanted a character who could represent his own series who I liked, and Paper Mario filled that niche just fine.
• KING K. ROOL KINDLES THE KROWD - King K. Rool was the first character I added this round; I decided it was time to add him.
• SHULK MAKES HIS ENTRANCE - More series; likely character, modern character, etc.
• ISAAC PUSHES ONWARD - Although I personally don't like Isaac that much, He's popular and I think it's his time.
• LIP PUZZLES THE OPPOSITION - Another retro, and I wanted more franchises this round. Plus it seemed like a lot of people had her, so...
• HONORABLE MENTIONS: Toad, Lucario, Balloon Fighter, Sonic, Dry Bowser as transformation for Bowser
• TOTAL SERIES: 25 (Mario, Paper Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Wario, The Legend of Zelda, Nazo no Murasamejou, Pokémon, Gyromite, Star Fox, Game & Watch, Pikmin, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Xenoblade, Kirby, Golden Sun, Panel de Pon, Fire Emblem, EarthBound, Ice Climber, F-Zero, Punch-Out, Animal Crossing, Wii Fit)
