[The Light Music Club]

Ok this round wasn't too hard. Sorry, it's organized a bit different this time. (See if you can figure it out)

Added:
Ike- Fire Emblem needs three at this point. Ike is the best pick, and I need him before I add you know who.
Samurai Goroh- F-Zero needs two at this point
Wolf - Starfox had three in Brawl. This roster is at 45 so I guess.
King K Rool- Was told to add more DK and I had him planned for this round anyway.
Issac- Need a new series added this round, and he seemed to be the most popular choice

Honorable mentions: Viridi and Ashley

Good roster, but that is not Isaac. It's Matthew. Might want to fix that or it may get you votes.

 

[kylexv]

Added Toad, Charizard, Falco, Mr. Game and Watch, and Dillon.

Series: 25

New Series: Game and Watch, Rolling Western.

 

[SmasherMaster]

I added in Sheik, Mewtwo, Robin, Lucas and Mii. I was trying to be less 'safe' by adding in two more less 'safe' newcomers and two less 'safe' veterans.

 

[SunnyDust]

Added King. K Rool, Porky, Robin, Andy and R.O.B.
Total series : 26

 

[pupNapoleon]

I believe this round I will be adding Three repeat characters, as it is getting time to add one to Zelda, which I cannot at all justify if there are not two marios, and also Metroid could use three.

So, ZSS, Paper Mario, and Toon Link.... youre on board.
Palutena, I miss you babe.

Number five will be a Pokemon. I feel a bit pressured for it to be Charizard, even though no roster would have had him before the Direct. Funny how that changed soo much. So I think it is time I say a temporary goodbye to Red, and add in Greninja as well.

Edit: No... Im not happy or excited about any of these choices, so this will not be the route I am taking.

 

[Smasher 101]

Additions:

Lucas: I said last round I wanted to add second characters for Mother and F-Zero soon, so here they are!
Black Shadow: See above.
Wolf: Star Fox should probably have three at this point.
R.O.B.: I think this finishes off the veteran series other than the third parties.
Starfy: Decided to add a new series as well, and he's the one I chose.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Good roster, but that is not Isaac. It's Matthew. Might want to fix that or it may get you votes.

I thought he looked different. Thanks!

Edit: Done. Hopefully that's Isaac now!

 

[TheZombiePig]

I felt that my roster prior to this round was weaker in terms of number of series than it should have been, so aside from Samurai Goroh, I added in Isaac, Ray, Takamaru, and Chibi Robo, each to represent a new series.

 

[BindingBlade]

Newcomers:
*Toad
*Greninja
*Falco
*Ray MK
*Chrom

 

[GreenReaperGod]

 

[pupNapoleon]

edit: im too indecisive this round; need to just look at my roster and see how I would want to balance it.
Can never make too many risks at once, but always some must be made. I shall not live in fear of the irrational fanboy!

 

[andimidna]

Originally planned choices: Sheik, Bowser Jr, Anna, Greninja, and R.O.B

Who I ended up choosing:
There were a lot of characters I wanted to add, so I put transformation characters back together.
Since I put Zero Suit Samus back with Samus, I had room for 6 new slots.
Transformation additions are marked by yellow outlines.
New slots are marked with green outlines.
Returning slots from past rosters are marked with red outlines.

Toad- Iconic.
Sheik- Popular, and despite only being in one game, she's iconic for being a major character in the most prominent Zelda game.
Skull Kid- A recurring Zelda villain, and while he's only been in 3 games, he's immensely popular.
Red- The original main character of the series. See: Marth
........ Ivysaur- Balances out Red
........ Squirtle- Balances out Red
Robin- The face of the Tactician, AKA who you are in Fire Emblem. See: Red
Lip- Represents another Nintendo franchise and is extremely unique and semi-popular. Needed a 4th retro.
Wii Fit Trainer- Represents another Nintendo franchise that despite lack of games, is in the top 10 best selling Nintendo series.
R.O.B.- Saved gaming. Needed a 5th retro.

@ pupNapoleon and @ The_Sheik , you both have only till this evening to submit a roster.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Is it voting time yet??

 

[Gunla]

Would be, but we're missing rosters.
They get a one hour extension for this. If I eliminate both, I'm going to do it tonight.

Ok. I hope one at least shows, hopefully I don't get voted off.

 

[andimidna]

They were both on here today about 5 hours ago... weird.

If DukeNapoleon doesn't post one in time, you could always use his post above where he put his ideas for a new roster.

Or add 5 Waluigis to both

 

[Gunla]

I see at least one has made it. (The_Sheik)
Only problem with Duke is that he doesn't have a single addition down.

Duke deleted it but mentioned cutting Red and adding Greninja, Palutena, Paper Mario, Lucario, and ZSS. I THINK. I'm not 100% on that though.

 

[The_Sheik]

Sorry for taking so long. ^^"

I got some votes in the previous round for focusing too much in expanding the big franchises rather than adding new ones, so only one newcomer is from a previously-represented series this round:

Samurai Goroh Speeds In!
Shulk... uh... Monadoes In!
Lip Flowers The Competition!
Mr. Game & Watch Rings The Bell!
R.O.B. Boosts In!

 

[Gunla]

I have no idea. If you want to play surrogate, you can make the roster.
I'm currently starting the update, so if you can make the roster, please confirm.

Does he get eliminated otherwise? If so then I'll whip up something for him. It's better than nothing.

 

[The_Sheik]

I posted a message in his profile saying he needs to hurry up. He most likely won't read it, but at least I'm trying to help.

 

[Gunla]

If a roster for him doesn't show, I pull out the hammer.
And the Vote is already set up, so please do so.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Should be 45. Hopefully this is close to what he wants:

Added: Palutena, Sheik, Porkey, Greninja, Paper Mario

 

[pupNapoleon]

Ah, Im here. sorry to be an issue, had a crisis midmaking last time
Id have put in Ray MK instead of Porky, but Im not cut, so im content. Porky and not lucas is great, as that is how it would have been done shortly.

Elimination VI begins Now!
You have a little less than 24 hours to vote!​

 

[The Light Music Club]

Binding Blade because he has Toad, Chrom, Ray, ZSS, and Sheik. All characters I don't think she be in yet.

 

[Chase]

Voted for shortiecanbrawl. Made some risky choices that I feel didn't pay off and just left a sour taste in my mouth.

However, DukeNapoleon was close for adding Greninja at this point.

Yeah sorry about that. Funny, I almost had put Lucas, but that's not what I would have done, so I put in Porky. Hopefully the rest is ok.

This.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Is one of those risky picks Ashley?? Thank God I decided to leave her and Viridi out for now.

 

[SmasherMaster]

Okay, I voted for whoever was missing Jigglypuff. The following people applied,

Chase, Angelglory, The Light Music Club, BindingBlade, The_Sheik, andimidna, Smasher 101, SunnyDust, DukeNapoleon and TheZombiePig.

If Jigglypuff was put under other Smash Pokemon veterans, I find that fine. But if somebody has a Pokemon newcomer over Jigglypuff, then you have no excuse. The following people had at least one Pokemon character that was not Pikachu, Greninja, Charizard, Lucario, Mewtwo, and/or Pokemon Trainer.

Only The_Sheik and Chase apply now.

I voted for The_Sheik because I feel that Meowth is more important than Gardevoir.

 

[andimidna]

I was planning on voting for whichever roster didn't have Palutena...

But they all have her now

I'm still deciding...

Wow I find that interesting, especially considering Jigglypuff isn't even that important to Pokemon.

 

[Shorts]

Voted for Duke because tardiness is not cool.

 

[andimidna]

Yea, I find it odd that a lot of votes are coming down to Pokemon.
There's so many picks that it's hard to judge Pokemon...

I personally like the rosters that have Greninja, Jigglypuff, or Gardevoir.
And I think Greninja makes a lot of sense.
But I've decided to play it safe with Pokemon and just have my unique picks be from different series... too many people vote on rosters because of Pokemon

 

[SmasherMaster]

Wow I find that interesting, especially considering Jigglypuff isn't even that important to Pokemon.

Feel like this reason could be used for most of the Smash characters. Most people would not have them on their roster if they were not added by Sakurai. Graninja, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina, Captain Falcon, Ness and Ice Climbers are some examples that could have this logic because that aren't important to Nintendo.
