I made few rosters in different perspectives: two will follow the thread’s rules, but the other two use more realistic conditions.
Also, two will use a ground up perspective, and the others will just swap fighters around.
I’ll just explain changes or controversial decisions.
Following the thread’s rules:
Ground Up:
Veterans:
Newcomers:
Starting Roster:
Reasons:
Jigglypuff: The character is pretty close to a clone in terms of development time, so I’m fine bringing it back.
Sheik: Sheik was a major part of Zelda’s identity at the time, and a transforming character is a cool idea, so Sheik stays.
Ice Climbers/Mr. Game & Watch: They’re cool ideas, but I’d never come up with the partner gimmick, and a Game & Watch character isn’t something that I’d think of at the time.
Dr. Mario: He is cut for being a filler choice for a clone.
Ganondorf: There was room to declone him, so I’ll use a ”slot” for a unique version of him.
Wario: He was third on the poll and only one vote behind Peach.
Pit: The gimmicky/absurd retros wouldn’t have been on my mind, so he’d be my retro pick.
Swapping:
Veterans:Veterans:
Newcomers:
Starting Roster:
Reasons:
The reasons for Jigglypuff, Sheik, Wario’s inclusion, and Dr. Mario’s removal are the same.
Ice Climbers and Mr. Game & Watch: The ideas are already there, and they’re cool choices, so I’d add them over Pit and a unique Ganondorf
Ganondorf: Too make room for the retros, he stays as a clone. I have Zelda already, so I’m fine giving other franchises a chance.
Roy: Young Link and Falco would be decided earlier, Ganondorf was requested, and Jhoto is a bigger priority than Binding Blade, so he’s cut in this case.
More realistic conditions:
Ground Up:
Just put Ganondorf into a clone and add Daisy
Swapping:
Mr Game & Watch is cut, and Roy and Daisy are added.
In terms of honorable mentions, they would probably be Dedede and Meowth. The former was requested, and the latter was a major player in pokemon.
