Round 19: Submit 5 Newcomers

(Barista Dog)​

Additions: Bowser Jr., Robin, Barista Dog, Mii, Pac-Man
Miis and Pac-Man are obvious choices given their legacies in gaming. In the case of Miis, I’m reducing it down to one moveset to allow myself for two additional newcomers. Also, I’m adding Bowser Jr. as he was a highly requested pick going into SSBFor, and the Clown Car moveset provides a mech based fighter. Robin is still the Awakening based fighter given her/his more distinct playstyke compared to Chrom. Barista Dog allows me to introduce Rhythm Heaven to the roster, and I picked it because I like dogs.

Round 18:

[Demise]

[Yuka]​

Additions: Mii, Palutena, Wii Fit Trainer, Demise, Pac-Man

Obvious picks. Miis reduced to one slot to conserve space. Palutena for Uprising at the time. Wii Fit as a curveball. Pac-Man as the third party.

But the biggest change here is Demise, hailing from Skyward Sword. Despite that game’s reputation, plus Zelda typically using the Triforce trio anyways, I suppose this one is a little more unique, and gives us another villain.

[Louie G.]

(Toad)
(Tetra)
(Blaziken)
(Excitebiker)
(Tom Nook) (Rhythm Girl)

New: Palutena, Excitebiker, Shulk, Rhythm Girl, PAC-MAN​

With the exception of Palutena, the move this round is to bring in more new series. Rhythm Heaven and Xenoblade mark two newer series that have made a presence for themselves since Brawl, and Excitebike is a classic Nintendo series ripe for a unique and quirky mounted BMX moveset. And Pac-Man is Pac-Man.

Note, I know Rhythm Girl’s official name is Yuka, which is likely what she’d be in the JP release, but the game often just calls her “Girl” in the English releases so I’m abiding by that. She would be paired up with a pet monkey like we see in her debut, Tap Trial. I considered someone a bit more specialized like the Wrestler, but I wasn’t sure if the Reporter team would be viable for Smash 4 with its technical limitations and figured this is just the best option for a more catch-all form of series representation. Especially since she can use the monkeys.

Round 19: Submit 3 Veterans and 2 Newcomers

(Tom Nook)(Barista Dog)​

Additions: Wario, Meta Knight, Ness, Tom Nook, Wii Fit Trainer
Wario and Meta Knight feel like logical choices given that they’re the two largest fighters missing from my Alternate Brawl roster barring Charizard. Ness is really just a case where I’d like to bring in another franchise. For my newcomers, Tom Nook is really a case where I want to play catch up after neglecting Animal Crossing in Brawl, and it’s more appropriate to squeeze two Animal Crossing fighters in For instead of Ultimate. Wii Fit Trainer plays the role of an unpredictable and quirky addition.

​

Honestly, I forgot I hadn't brought Diddy Kong back yet. So here he is! Pretty obvious addition that I think should have happened sooner. Ness and Meta Knight are also obvious picks, but it makes sense for them to be toward the later end. The new picks are pretty standard too, rounding out a couple of Nintendo's biggest absent faces with Bowser Jr and one single catch-all Mii. I imagine this version of the character maintains its special customizability but its moveset is moreso a sillier brawler kit where the Mii flails around their arms, trips around etc. They're just goofy in this version.

Round 20: Submit 4 Veterans

(Tom Nook)(Barista Dog)​

Additions: Mr. Game & Watch, Sheik, Charizard, Squirtle
Mr. Game & Watch seems like an obvious choice for being the original surprise pick. I struggled with how I wanted to approach Pokemon Trainer because I like Squirtle the most, but I feel like Charizard would have been mandated by the Pokemon Company (I acknowledge that Charizard is arguably the most prominent pokemon only behind Pikachu from a marketing perspective, but I’d personally keep Squirtle if I was being biased), and leaving out only Ivysaur doesn’t really make much sense to me. In the end, I’ll keep Charizard presumably based on what would have been the Pokemon Company’s request, and I decided to keep Squirtle given my other potential choices for veterans. My last veteran is Sheik as I value Sheik more over Mach Rider, and removing the double team gimmick removes the fundamental motivation behind the Ice Climbers’ addition. Even though Squirtle would probably take more time than Mach Rider, I don’t have to worry about splitting Zelda or Samus in this timeline, and we could allocate the time originally used on Ice Climbers for Squirtle. I guess this means that I ended up cutting an SSB64 veteran in this timeline.

Returning: Wario, Ganondorf, Mr. Game & Watch, Mewtwo
​

A few pretty safe veteran returnees to buff up Smash 4's unlockable lineup. I held some of the rivals / villains back for this purpose, although I was admittedly a bit inconsistent about it. Wario being an unlockable is a bit strange but I kinda just wanted to focus on other parts of the Marioverse representation before I completed the set. I was able to keep Mewtwo around for Brawl so at this point it is widely regarded as a series mainstay.

Also cool, the Mario Kart 64 roster is complete.
