Okay, I just had an idea. What if you could control who could make it into smash, but in order to add a new character, you had to remove an existing one? You could also only replace echoes with echoes.
What I would do:
Goodbye fiighters: :ultrob::ultbowserjr::ultdoc::ultgnw:
Goodbye Echoes: :ultrichter::ultdarkpit:
Hello fighters: Scorpion, Banjo-Kazooie, Metal Sonic, Sandbag
Hello echoes: Funky Kong, Galacta Knight

My changes

Technically, no one is removed, but:ultdoc: would be changed from separate character to costume. Also :ultsamus: and :ultzelda: can transform into :ultzss: and :ultsheik: again

With 3 slots open: Shadow, Midna and Lugia gets added as newcomers. Tyrannitar is a new pokeball Pokémon, with Mr.Resetti and Midbus being assist trophies.

Update: only 1 Mii will be there, giving the other 2 slots to Fawful and Dixie Kong

I'd just go balls to the wall Nintendo.

Replacements have a red rim and are replacing those in the spoiler tags.

The green rimmed ones are the replacements for the four upcoming fighters from the Fighters Pass.

I have a new version (making my own version of SSB starting with Melee, even if I don't want cuts)

Melee: Demote :ultdoc: to alternate costume so :ultkingdedede: can make his debut in Melee. Also :ultyounglink::ultganondorf: and :ultroy: replaced with Muddy Mole :249: and Jody Summer

Brawl: King Dedede and Lugia returns. Replace :ulttoonlink: with :ultganondorf: making his debut.

Game 4: :ultsheik: and :ultzss: are final smashes instead of separate fighters(they will be playable in Ultimate however). :ultpokemontrainer: replaced by :ultwolf: (Pokémon Trainer will be back for ultimate). Jody Summer returns for DLC. Shadow and Midna joins the battle. 2 Miis are placed by Fawful and Adeleine. :ultrobin: replaced by Krystal.

Ultimate: :ulticeclimbers::ultpokemontrainer::ultsnake::ultpichu: and Muddy Mole are back plus :ultsheik: and :ultzss: are playable again. :ultchrom: replaced by Dixie Kong

Man.. I dislike so many of the thoughts in this thread. Why do I always distaste the echoes of others?

Anyway, I'll take this a bit further and try to find similar characters (where possible- with what I consider in some way to be a better character):

:ultbayonetta: Lara Croft
:ultcorrin: Isaac
:ultdoc: Captain Toad
:ultfalco: Banjo & Kazooie
:ultgreninja: Team Rocket
:ultincineroar: Heihachi
:ultjigglypuff: Balloon Fighter
:ultlucas: Rayman
:ultbrawler: Crash
:ultgunner: Spyro
:ultswordfighter: Bomberman
:ultdaisy: Dk Jr or Zero
:ultpichu: Eevee
:ultdarkpit: Dixie
:ultroy: Scorpion
:ultchrom: Sub Zero
:ultsheik: Impa
:ultrichter: Tails
:ulttoonlink: Chibi Robo
:ultyounglink: Chorus Kids
:ultzss: Sora
:ultlucina: I'd make Isabelle an echo, and add one of my honorable mentions/close calls as unique

I just went through and deleted every character I find historically and culturally insignificant (though I left a few for the overall balance of the game and fans of other series... I tried to think of overall perception of Smash moreso than just my opinion alone. This list includes, :ultwolf::ultpalutena: and even a favorite of mine, :ultpiranha:). Overall this worked out pretty well for me, as I didnt need to think for long about the replacements- though I'm sure if I did think a bit more about it, I would choose a few more characters to be included over some of the ones we did in fact receive.

Close Calls (for overall game popularity, mostly):
Paper Mario, Steve, Slime, Andy, Frogger

Understand but Less Not as Close:
Twintelle, Mach Rider, Lip, Saki, Starfy, Vaati, Skull Kid, Vault Boy, DoomGuy, Jill Valentine, Professor Layton, Cooking Mama

I'd probably be quite minimalistic

Good bye Incineroar and (sadly) Dr Mario

Bring in Bandana Dee and Skull Kid.


Also a couple people here are DEAD TO ME

Incineroar is the only character I'd be happy to see gone though

Literally the only one I would do is remove :ultchrom: and give :ultcharizard: an echo for the fans of solo Zard. Flygon is my current pick.

Tbh, I like the roster overall, and since the premise of Ultimate was no cuts, everyone stays in terms of veterans. In terms of newcomers, I’ll just replace Ken with Alph (he was the only unlucky alt in the For games, and this replacement makes the most sense in terms of development time) and then lets just say Sephiroth for Tidus (I like playing as Sephiroth, but I don’t think Square would’ve given me two FF DLC characters).
