If I set up another game, I’ll avoid using the elimination format as it decreases participation. Depending on what everyone wants, I can set up a new game.

Yeah the elimination wasn’t the best idea, but at least I sticked around, cause I like making roasters

I’ll make a new game and see how this goes. This will be point based again as the elimination format doesn’t work well for these games.

Round 1: Submit 10 Fighters in SSBU and 2 Newcomers for a hypothetical SSB6 Reveal Trailer.
:ultmario::ultbowser::ultlink::ultsamus::ultpit::ultkirby:
:ultfox::ultpikachu::ultvillager:(Tom Nook):ultinkling:(Off the Hook)​
Fighters: Mario, Bowser, Link, Samus, Pit, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Villager, Tom Nook, Inkling, Off the Hook

Mario, Link, Samus, Kirby, Pikachu, Villager, and Inkling are probably the most obvious choices to show in this lineup. Bowser provides us an antagonist. While Donkey Kong, Marth, Olimar, and Shulk would also be reasonable choices here, I like the idea of having two SSB centric fighters revealed in this scenario (Fox and Pit) given that they are usually revealed really early in a game’s development cycle. Tom and Off the Hook help build up Animal Crossing and Splatoon, two franchises that have grown in popularity with the Switch era.

Given the nature of these fighters, should we count Pokemon Trainer, Aegis, and Mii Fighters as one slot or multiple slots?

Round 1:
:ultmario::ultlink::ultsamus::ultkirby::ultpikachu::ultmarth:
:ultolimar::ultvillager::ultshulk::ultinkling:[Paper Mario][Ring Fit Trainee]
I wanted to keep this selection to Nintendo’s modern essentials, plus some newcomers.

Fighters: Mario, Peach, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Kirby, Pikachu, Olimar, Isabelle, Inkling, Tom Nook, Edelgard
Not sure if I'll remain active with this the whole time, but I'll play along for a bit.

This looks pretty similar to early roster builds I've done in the past - we can only be so flexible in these early stages I suppose. Essentially I want most of the core series laid out here, most of these are still quite active and representative of the greater Nintendo brand. Tom Nook is an evergreen face and Edelgard is the most popular character from a successful Switch game... which yeah, already got content in Ultimate, but with notable legacy exceptions I'm going to try not to be strapped to these prior decisions too hard. That's also why Isabelle is the top priority here, although I don't suspect I'll cut Villager altogether.

Notable omissions here are Fox and Marth. I considered it but since Fire Emblem is pretty flexible, and Star Fox has been taking its time, I'm giving them a rest for a round or two. Peach is here as a second Mario character to improve the gender balance, something I feel has been more important to Nintendo lately.

Given the nature of these fighters, should we count Pokemon Trainer, Aegis, and Mii Fighters as one slot or multiple slots?
These feel like different scenarios to me. I tend to lean toward Pyra and Mythra qualifying as a single unit since they don't really have any precedent for being separate, nor do I think they really work that way. Pokemon Trainer I could go either way on - but Charizard has been a separate fighter in the past so theoretically they could be added separately right? The Mii Fighters literally are just three entirely seperate fighters so that seems pretty clear cut.

Users can choose to have the trainer as a whole unit, or they could use separate fighters like For Charizard.

Additions: Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, Marth, Olimar, Aegis

This round primarily focuses on brining in Nintendo franchises that missed the cut in Round 1 (i.e. Donkey Kong, Fire Emblem, Pikmin, Xenoblade). Peach and Aegis were chosen to help have a good gender balance.

:ultpikachu::ultmarth:(Edelgard) (:ultpyra::ultmythra:)
:ultisabelle: (Tom Nook) :ultolimar::ultinkling:

Add: Luigi, Bowser, Zelda, Ridley, Fox, Marth, Pyra / Mythra
Luigi and Bowser fill out the obvious Mario quartet, and Zelda compliments Link. Marth rounds out our early Fire Emblem representation, giving the series its lead representative. I decided to add Ridley and Pyra / Mythra to continue to bring in Ultimate newcomers, and assure fans that some of their favorites from that game are not in danger. And Fox contributes a longtime favorite and legacy franchise, just nearly rounding out our Original 8.

With the addition of Xenoblade, I think we've nearly covered all the major "active" series from the Switch era. Give or take Yoshi and WarioWare, I guess?
Please remove two fighters from this list as only five fighters can be added this round.

:ultisabelle: (Tom Nook) :ultolimar: (Oatchi) :ultinkling:

New: Isaac, Oatchi
A splash of yellow for the roster today. One longtime fan request in Isaac, and one popular character from the new gen to boost a series that has otherwise never seen a new character (Pikmin). Probably worth adding in a new Pokemon soon, but I'm undecided for now... couple of these series feel like they should get some more vets in before I throw them a newcomer. Mario newcomer is gonna feel odd without Luigi around.
