Top 10 Most Wanted Newcomers for Smash Switch!

[jreed3842]

This took me awhile to come up with 10... I knew my top 3 right away... But I think these are my top 10!

10. Alakazam (I just put him on here cause he's my favorite Pokemon)
9. Boo/King Boo
8. Prince Sidon
7. Bandana Dee
6. King K. Rool
5. Krystal
4. Ghirahim
3. Decidueye (or any Grass type starter honestly. Ever since Gen 1 I have always picked the grass starter, so I really wanna see one make it in Smash)
2. Urbosa
1. Captain Toad! (I have wanted Toad to make it in Smash since Melee! He's been my most wanted character for YEARS!)

 

[CrowGoesCaw]

There's a lot of characters I'd like to see, but many are just a passing, 'that'd be cool' for me.

1 Ridley

2 Shantae

3 Midna and Wolf Link

4 Hollow Knight

5 Revali (Though Prince Sidon would also be rad)

6 Risky Boots

7 Phoenix Wright

8 Twintelle

9 Spyro

10 Krystal


HM Chrono


1 and 2 are my most wanted by a large margin, then 3 to 6 are highly wanted. I feel sad Risky Boot's didn't make top five since there's a big jump from her to Phoenix in how much I want them in. But that's how it goes. Though I'd be shocked if Risky made it in, just getting Shantae in Smash is uncertain, let alone a second character from a 3rd party game.

 

[UserKev]

1. Paper Mario
2. Dixie Kong
3. Ridley
4. Ghirahim
5. Lyn
6. Bandana Dee
7. Mimikyu
8. Isabelle
9. Min Min
10. Spyro The Dragon

 

[Kenith]

1. Midna & Wolf Link (does this count as separate from just Midna?)
2. Shovel Knight
3. Excitebike
4. Ashley
5. Jill Valentine
6. Ridley
7. Nightmare (Soulcalibur)
8. Solaire of Astora
9. Lana
10. Amaterasu

 

[pupNapoleon]

Let's see if I can accomplish this... can we get more minimal.

Honorable mentions: Angry Birds, Steve, Carmen Sandiego, Oregon Trail Pioneer

10- Banjo Kazooie
9- Bomberman
8- Lara Croft
7- Rayman
6- Ridley
5- Isaac
4- Dixie
3- Captain Toad
2- Balloon Fighter
1- K Rool

It seems my lower half are all the characters I actually want, and the top half are characters I also want, but that would be most hype (from my perspective) in the community.

But these will probably change in a few minutes.
EDIT less than a minute later:
Yeah i forgot a bunch I really care about. I am not a fan of these types of lists, it tends to make my brain get into a space where there are good characters to get and bad ones, and that makes the reveals much less enjoyable.

 

[culumon]

1) Phoenix Wright
2) King K. Rool
3) Dixie Kong
4) HW Impa
5) Bandana Dee
6) Terra Branford
7) Banjo-Kazooie
8) Bomberman
9) Mimikyu
10) Waluigi

 

[Deleted member]

Just remembered this thread exists. New list, realistic choices only:

10.) Celica
9.) Isabelle
8.) Dillon
7.) Lycanroc (Dusk)
6.) Elma
5.) Dixie Kong
4.) KOS-MOS
3.) Bandana Waddle Dee
2.) Lyn
1.) Rex & Pyra

Interesting to compare it to my old one.

Spoiler: Old list

 

[Aetheri]

1. Midna & Wolf Link (does this count as separate from just Midna?)

I would still put it together since more often than not when people are requesting certain characters they'd be fine with their inclusion in which ever capacity...

In this example your preference is that Midna would be paired with Wolf Link, because that would be your specific vision for the character...I'd say the same about someone who'd request say a Diddy and Dixie pairing...I'd still count it as Dixie Kong...same with those who'd want say Skyward Sword Impa and Hyrule Warriors Impa...

Plus having to split the results differently even though its the same character is just gonna make things too complicated for me when I'm tallying the votes...

 

[SaltSlag]

10. Rayman
9. Crash
8. Shovel Knight
7. Buzzwole
6. Kumatora
5. Vaati
4. Doom Guy
3. Geno
2. King K.Rool
1. Bomberman

 

[Mr.J]

These are my choices, even though I may be indifferent of certain characters.
I still would like these over anyone else. And also considering this is also only 10 characters kinda limits my list within itself, as I would rather want more than just 10. But hopefully this list will do for now, it might change in the future, but these are the ones I've decided to stick with for now.

1. Stanley the Bugman (Retro)
2. Waluigi (Super Mario)
3. Daisy (Super Mario)
4. Ninten (Mother)
5. Balloon Fighter (Retro)
6. Villian Pokémon Trainer (Pokémon)
7. King K. Rool (Donkey Kong)
8. Knuckle Joe/Waddle Dee, Either one of them works. (Kirby)
9. Takamaru (Retro)
10. Mike Jones (Retro)

And also since I wanted to include more.
Here are some honourable mentions of characters, I would like as well but not did make it into my top 10.

Honourable mentions:
Impa (The Legend of Zelda)
Mother Brain (Metroid)
Black Shadow (F-Zero)
Poochy (Yoshi)
Slippy Toad & Peppy Hare (Star Fox)
Dillon (Dillon)

And also third-party:

Alex Kidd (Alex Kidd)
Klonoa (Klonoa)
Rayman (Rayman)
Bomberman (Bomberman)
Sora & Riku (Kingdom Hearts)
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (Ty the Tasmanian Tiger)
Doctor Lautrec (Doctor Lautrec)

And that concludes my list, I hope it's not a problem that I included more than it was required, but at least I kept the rest as honourable mentions to make it more simple from the actual list.
That is all, thank you for reading and have a nice day.

 

[BrytonJ]

Was gonna make a big long explanation for my choices but I got lazy so here's my quick picks.

10. Spring Man (Most likely Arms rep. Spring-a-ling!)
9. Crash Bandicoot (I've never played a Crash game I just think he's goofy and funny and It'd be great to have the original big 3s platforming mascots together at last.)
8. Captain Toad (Sunshine has Bowser Jr. and Galaxy has Rosalina. Make Captain Toad the 3D World rep!)
7. Cardboard Labo Man (Love weird picks like this)
6. Mimikyu (The most likely Gen 7 pokemon pick in my opinion, and also cute)
5. Shovel Knight (Lots of cool options and a great design)
4. Ribbon Girl (My Arms main)
3. Isabelle (I love animal crossing)
2. Waluigi (Great design and lots of cool possibilities involving mario side games)
1. Chibi-Robo (Under appreciated GoodBoy with lots of cool options)

 

[jamesster445]

These are in no particular order

Waluigi
- Do I really need to say why.
Dixie
- Her or K.Rool, but I feel Dixies chances are much better thanks to Tropical Freeze.
PrinceFluff
- I loved Epic Yarn and would love to see that Yarn moveset used in Smash.
Hades
- One of the best "New Nintendo Villains", Hades was easily the best part of Uprising in both his character and his boss fight.
Ridley
- Contract his tail and clip his wingspan, that is all you need to do. Smash 4 Ridley is no bigger than Giga Bowser, if Giga Bowser is playable there is no excuse.
Wonder Red
- He'll beat one ************, using a bunch of other mother****ers. What's not to love.
Andy
- It's high time that Fire Emblems sister series got its time in the sun. How does he play? Make him like Jack-o from Guilty Gear Xrd.
Tibby
- Give me my Rhythm Lord.
Spring man/ Ribbon Girl
- Somekind of Arms rep should be in the game. I'd imagine they'd become the Dhalsim of Smash, with long but weak attacks.
Ryu Hayabusa
- The face of Tecmo. Tecmo themselves have also been particularly supportive of Nintendo especially during the WiiU era. Hayabusa is a ninja with numerous weapons, magic, and techniques to pull from a long history of games, such as both trilogies of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive to name a few.

Honorable Mentions
Porky
- Porky is the definitive villain of the Mother series and has antagonized both Ness and Lucas. My only issue is how they would represent him considering the Spider Mech. Well considering that Bedman (also from Guilty Gear) exists, I can see the potential.
Anna
- Assuming that a new Fire Emblem character might be cut, I can think of no character better than the mascot of the franchise.
Not Rex
- There are 2 reasons for this, the first is that his primary weapon is similar to Shulk and I fear he would be more of a clone than a brand new character. The second and this is very important, Rex is trash. Rex was easily the worst character in XB2 from both a design and character stand point.
I'd way rather have Morag or Tora be the rep for XB2. Or hell bring Elma from XBX. All of them are more interesting characters with interesting abilities.

 

[Iko MattOrr]

10 - Lip - another forgotten classic because why not (Panel de Pon)
9 - Geno - well I lost both hype and hopes in this character but wouldn't mind him as a newcomer (Super Mario RPG)
8 - Karate Joe - lost a bit of interest in the series overall, but I wouldn't mind him (Rhythm Heaven)
7 - Tingle (Zelda)
6 - Gooey - he came back as a Dream Friend!! (Kirby)
5 - Captain Syrup (Warioland)
4 - Warioland Wario - not a veteran, separate character with different moveset (Warioland)
3 - Artorias/Siegmeyer/Solaire/Dragonslayer/Gwyn/chosen undead - any of them (Dark Souls - coming to Switch)
2 - Ganon - classic blue pig form (Zelda)
1 - Adeleine - she will probably be revived as a Dream Friend soon, I hope! (Kirby)

special mention to Nintendo Labo; it's not something I want, but I would laugh a lot if they will add it, I mean, a fighter made out of transforming cardboards.
Another special mention goes to Chibi Robo; he could be an interesting character but Zip Lash was so boring IMO -.-
Last special mention to Qbby (Boxboy), I'm not completely convinced about his relevance and moveset potential.

EDIT: oh I forgot about Krystal, she was relevant in the Gamecube days, so I think it would be fair to give her a chance, but I'm not interested in her enough to give her a place in the chart... maybe I could place her where Lip is, but I prefer to keep Lip because she's more obscure and needs more love.

 

[Morbi]

I cannot tell if this is a prediction list, or just which characters we want. I am going to lean on the latter.


10. Goku (Fourth party characters do not exist and I do not care about your rules, homie).
10. Sans (Because I care about your rules, fam.)
9. Dante (from Devil May Cry, ready to join his fourth crossover to meet Bayonetta).
8. Waluigi (Best purple dragon, I would also accept Spyro).
7. Ridley (Lucky number 7).
6. Hades (On second thought, after seeing Palutena and Dark Pit, maybe not).
5. Spring Man (The Bouncer, ready to steal someone's slot).
4. Banjo and Kazooie (The only other missing Nintendo character outside of Ridley that is worth anything... Only he is not even Nintendo).
3. Black Shadow (Listen to his theme).
2. Ganon (Best newcomer Smash can add is the antagonist to their second most prominent series, instead, they gave me ginger Black Shadow).
1. Masked Link (He would basically be Pokemon Trainer, except for cool).

The title is 'Most Wanted' so that should answer your question...

Also there's no obligation to follow my rules in your Top 10, I just won't give points to characters that break those rules...

I suppose, the points aspect confused me. Are they there just to gauge demand? Because I feel as though in that case, veterans, likely or not, would still be taken into consideration. That is why, despite the title, I was a bit confused.

Hence why I added a second character, I was just joking around because it was a for fun list.

 

[Ascended]

1) Crash Bandicoot
2) Ridley
3) Shovel Knight
4) Toad
5) Chrom
6) Simon Belmont
7) Dixie Kong
8) Spring Man
9) F-Type
10) Dillon

Yeah its to gauge demand for characters within the community...

Its pretty much a given that veterans will have a decent amount of demand especially since there's already a precedent for the character in the game as is...I just think its more interesting to see new characters in these lists and think about what they could bring to the table rather than a character I've already seen before...

[Gagnetar]

It's pretty hard to come up with a Top 10 list because I really only care about one, But I'll see what I get
1. Krystal (unique kit, irreplaceable character for many)
2. Ridley (sure why not? I'm a pretty big metroid fan, it's hard to say no to a cybernetic, plasma-breathing space dragon)
3. Lethe [FE9/FE10] (not a realistic character for many reasons, shapeshifters could be fun though)
4. Rundas (also not realistic because of one-off status, loved his personality and his ice moves could be unique)
5. Shantae (didn't know who she was before speculation, but she has some nice kit potential)
6. Midna (she was a good character and was from the only zelda game I really cared about)
7. Micaiah [FE10] (I find the Micaiah support group fascinating, they remind me of her)
8. Tails (a friend of mine is interested in tails, and I wouldn't say no to his kit potential either)
9. Milotic (I've made a kit for one before, a serpent-like character is pretty radical for fighting games, probably)
10. Rex & Pyra (haven't played any xenoblade, but I watched enough to enjoy their concept)
Well that took a second, but I done did it.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

My top 10:

10. Ty the Tazmanian Tiger - An obscure character from my childhood that I hold dearly.
9. Spyro the Dragon - I was much more of a Spyro fan than a Crash fan and they're both the mascots of the early 2000s Sony era, and it would be great to see him along with...
8. Crash Bandicoot - Same thing for Spyro, and he's only higher because I see him as more likely.
7. K. Rool - Actually plaued the games that had him in it when I was little amd I will always consider him DK's true villain. Good moveset potential too and high demand.
6. Midna - While she wasn't my favorite charactet, I can't deny the moveset potential
5. Skull Kid - Wanted him since Sm4sh. Assist trophy helps me feel like his chances are better, even If I doubt it.
4. Ghirahim - One of my fav Zelda villains and his moveset speaks for itself. Had a pretty bug following and HW also help him as well as the other two plus the AT.
3. Bandana Waddle Dee - New Kirby rep that I personally really see happening and he's cute
2. Captain Toad - One of the more important Mario characters at this point and a Toad has been long overdue for Smash.
1. Waluigi - Honestly just such a fun character that has loads of potential for a wacky moveset and a HUGE following. Probably among the biggest who have stuck around since Brawl days.

 

[chronomantic]

1.- Skull Kid. Awesome villain with a memorably designed mask.
2.- Chorus Kids. Never forget.
3.- King Boo. I think the moves would be innovative and the character is widely recognizable.
4.- Captain toad. He has his own game. Everybody knows toad. Make him jump Sakurai.
5.- Dixie Kong. Potentially interesting moveset.
6.- Shovel Knight. Haven't even played one of his games but he has a large following and it looks like it'd be an amazing inclusion
7.- Kamek. She flies and has tons of different magic spells.
8.- Impa. Not that known outside Zelda players but it'd be a cool character.
9.- Tingle. I love joke characters. I'd main him so hard.
10.- Amaterasu. I love Okami. Unlikely to happen I think.

 

[Chandeelure]

10. Scorpion
9. Belmont
8. King Boo
7. Jeanne
6. King K. Rool
5. Bewear
4. Magolor
3. Ridley

[Bassoonist]

To be honest, I personally don't even have a top 10. I hope that's okay.

1. Isaac
2. Paper Mario
3. Sora

There are characters like Ridley, King K. Rool, etc. that I'd be happy to see included for other people's sakes, but I have no interest in those franchises myself so I can't put them in a personal top 10.

Oh! And for the record while Joker himself has yet to appear on a Nintendo console, we do have Persona Q2 coming to 3DS which will more than likely feature Joker, and Shin Megami Tensei has primarily been on Nintendo consoles. The points probably won't matter much anyway since no one else here seems to want him, but I hope to sway at least some opinions!

 

[Ark of Silence101]

10. Sceptile(My favorite grass starter).
9. Dr. Eggman(Eggman vs Bowser pls).
8. Leon Scott Kennedy(He would be my choice for a Resident Evil character).
7. Lana(the only LoZ character I would like to see).
6. Micaiah(someone other than a sword user for this series and I like her more than Celica).
5. Dante(DMC vs Bayonetta Smash style).
4. Elma(Xenoblade X deserves some love too).
3. Banjo-Kazooie(these characters have a lot of nostalgia for me).
2. Lightning Farron(Like my avatar hasn't made it obvious which are my favorite Square Enix characters).
1. Daisy(one of my favorite characters in the Mario franchise alongside Luigi even though I only play Luigi in Smash 64 because I suck at him in the remainder of Smash games).
