In terms of Pokemon I'd want Discount Freddy Krueger. Ding! Darkrai, Chesnaught, Sceptile, Heracross and Genesect.
Any of those would make me happy but Chesnaught/Sceptile are my most wanted out of the lot followed by Darkrai.

4 reps is more than enough for a series like FE.
I disagree but hey, DK and Metroid deserve way more reps too

One's an admittedly cool pokeball, but hey, Charizard was a pokeball

in that case, I choose to cut Ike for Roy, Lucina for Lyn.
All of my no. Don't get me wrong, Lyn would be a nice addition (if she weren't an AT) don't get me wrong, but not if she replaced Lucina.

Why does every big Twitch stream have to be full of idiots in the comments?
Just looking at the MK X stream and there's stupid stuff all over.
At least it can be closed up on the side so I can revel in the bloody goodness Goro brings.

Don't mind it. I simply ignore it. Nothing to really see there.

I have a question, who do you lot want to see become newcomers? 5 characters I'd like
Bandana Dee: To represent the modern Kirby games, that nifty spear is also unique
Ridley: Best villain IMO and Metroid best franchise, Sakurai's excuse was poor. "I want to be accurate" Then you don't make him help out or say small wings are a problem :evil:
K.Rool one of Nintendo's greater villains, DK is easily the worst represented franchise, not even an AT...He's also good stupidly fun potential
Isaac: Loved Golden Sun and think this guy should definitely represent the franchise in Smash
Takamaru: "not popular enough" RETRO REPS DON'T HAVE TO BE POPULAR! This guy has a sword, invisibility, projectiles, is a Samurai, what's not to like?
Knuckles: Would prefer Shadow, but he's an assist trophy, so Knuckles is next in line for Sonic characters. Of all the third party series, Sonic is probably the most deserving of having multiple characters in Smash since the series is so popular and has such a large array of interesting and unique characters to choose from. I don't think I'm being too biased with that opinion either, but I could be wrong about that. Anyway, as a character known for his fists, Knuckles would fit right home in a fighting game and his gliding and digging abilities would separate him from other characters. Tails would be cool too and probably more likely for a slot.

Zero: The only Megaman game I've played is Megaman X (which I haven't even played half of yet) and even I want Zero in Smash. He's a no-brainer for a second Megaman character and is just plain cool. His combination of a sword and gun/laser/whatever he has isn't something anyone has yet and is just a great combination.

Isaac: I haven't played a Golden Sun game yet (I need to do that...), but it's just sad that the series isn't represented yet. He looks cool in Super Smash Flash 2 and seems like far from an ordinary swordsman, so I support a slot for him.

Ridley: Metroid needs more reps, Smash needs more villains and it's been a long time coming for the purple flying dragon. My Metroid experience only lies with the beginnings of Metroid and Metroid Fusion, but I still think Ridley is very deserving of being in Smash.


Ryu Hayabusa: I'm a huge Dead or Alive fan and Hayabusa was my favorite video game character for a long time (know tied with Greninja and Yoshi). The Ninja Gaiden was one of the most notable games for the NES and he's recently appeared in DoA Dimensions and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge for Nintendo consoles, so he's an important character to Nintendo. I know that he'll probably never get in, but I'd love Hayabusa to be a Smash Bros character.

Shoutouts to K K. Rool, Krystal and Dixie kong btw and my assist trophy friends Shadow and Waluigi

I find that a tad ironic when you mention Ridley who's a (****) stage element and Assist Trophies (Little Mac) can get promoted to playable status.
Just saying.

Cutting Ike for Roy is a choice that I personally completely agree with, but I realize that Roy isn't that popular among FE fans, and he's also a clone, whereas Ike is an original character. So, with the entire fanbase in mind, I would have to decline if I was given that chance.
There's no way I would cut Lucina for Lyn. Lucina represents the most recent Fire Emblem game, and an outstanding one at that. Plus, she also fills the niche of a beginner version of more technical character.
And she's also totally not my waifu. No way.

I only voted for the Masked Man but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing K.Rool, Mona or Inklings as new characters. The only veteran I can see returning at this point is Wolf.

If you saw the leak for Lyn on PM, you can see that she has a lot of potential.

I would also like to remind everyone, that before I continue this train of thought, that PM did predict a lot of things that we now have in Smash 4. (Charizard's Seismic toss and I think one other character had a move that was later modified for Smash 4.) With that thought out of the way, let's continue.

I think Lyn has a lot of potential to be her own unique character, with her speed (and arrows from her promoted form if they so wish to add that).

Please no more FE characters. 4 is already pushing it. Same with KI and Kirby.

DK and Star Fox should be priority for new characters. Metroid too but sadly there are no more interesting characters to pick from.

I wouldn't say there's no more interesting characters so much as there's no more prominent, important and interesting characters to choose from.
All other viable Metroid reps that aren't a generic Space Pirate are one time characters so far. Sylux? Hunters. Rundas? Prime 3.
Adam? Other M. Anthony? Other M. Dark Samus? AT for this game. Ridley? Hazard for this game.

my top 5 dlc charcters
honorable mention :pichumelee:/:wolf:-come on who dosn't want him
5 waluigi-a fun charcter and would bring poplarity to him not higher becuse of him being a assist trophy
4 :squirtle:-a fun charcter one of my favorite pokemon not higher becuse of the "many" pokemon and :4greninja: kinda took his spot but :4greninja: still cool though
3 ridley-metroid needs more reps he would have a cool moveset not higher becuse sakurai seems to hate the guy
2 inklings-I think they would be in the game if this game was relased later with a cool moveset that could maybe even incoperate some of :snake: moves in fact they would even need to make amiibo for them becuse they already have one
1 king k rool-:4dk: needs more reps and king k rool would be a perfect fit with popularity and a cool moveset it would be great to see him in a new game

Still wouldn't justify cutting Lucina. Also, I find it unlikely they'd add any character that's already an AT in Smash 4 as playable. Lyn picks up the AT and summons herself to attack...herself...see this just doesn't work. Same thing with Ridley, and likely Pokeball Pokemon (Gardevoir no! :( )

I'm trying to think outside of the box for some characters that haven't been mentioned much (like ones not constantly mentioned as having the best chances). Trying to keep em first party, but I might need to delve into every possible realm to see who I'd want. Reason I'm having so much trouble thinking of someone I want is because Sonic, Mewtwo and Kirby are 3 of my most favorite video game characters of all time, so their inclusion in Smash pretty much has me content.

Give me a while; this is gonna be some intense thinking time.


Also, I've been seeing some use of the word "cut". Holy crap, I hope you guys mean from the next games, or just mean hypothetically cut from this one, as they definitely wouldn't reduce/replace content imo.

the issue I see with more pokemon is that people will complain about the other series like dk,star fox,and metroid that need m ore reps the only possibility of new poke mon is a overwhelming amount of fan demand for that certain pokemon same with the mario series to

I have no idea wtf an AT is.

no reason to complain just more fighters.

Kirby has been underrepresented though, Brawl gave two highly requested characters. Especially modern Kirby lacks representation, a few trophies, 3 songs...That's it

4 FE characters - Seems about right for a series with 14 games (Counting if) and a crossover with SMT as well as being a long running series with new found popularity especially given that one of them is a clone.

2 Metroid characters - No where near enough for a long running series especially when they're both Samus.

1 F-Zero character - Needs more characters given it's influence on racing games and the fabulous anime.

2 DK characters - Not enough considering DK is as old as Mario.

3 KI characters - Pushing it a little but one of them is a clone and Uprising was awesome.

3 Kirby characters - Needs to have 4 characters if FE can have 4.

3 characters is enough for that series. Only the big series (Mario, Pokemon, Zelda) should have more than 3 IMO.

I did forget that Ridley was a stage hazard. I only have the 3DS version, so I tend to forget sometimes. My post was made in light of Smash 4 DLC, so that's why I discounted assist trophies in my list. Would love to have Shadow or Waluigi in Smash 5, but it won't happen for DLC unless Sakurai removes their assist trophies from the game.

I find that highly ignorant of you as Kirby is also a big franchise.
Also Krystal. j/s!!! more female reps plix.
I've never cared about anything Starfox related other than Wolf, his theme and the Brawl Corneria track

they could always just remove the use of that assist trophy in the game when that charcter is battleing

Kirby isn't really that big a series and the 3 characters in Smash are the only relevant ones anyway.
Uh, Bandana Dee is a relevant character and Kirby games are very popular

I'd like that to happen but that would be very tedious from a developer's point of view

1992
His own anime and manga.
24 games with cameos in other games like Earthbound, Superstar Saga and Link's Awakening.

I'd say it's up high and deserves 4 reps given Fire Emblem has 4 reps with less games (some of which were Japan exclusive).
