Total Number Of Characters

[Alex Tcp]

When I look through the Character Discussion I see a lot of comments on how there shouldn't be more then a certain number of characters from certain series, like maybe their shouldn't be more then 5 Zelda Characters or more then 3 Star Fox Character, or when people say how they don't want characters from melee to make it in, so I ask

- How many characters do you think, or want their to be in Brawl?

 

[Camalach]

50, nuff said

50, nuff said

I would surly want a least 50 Characters, but I don't think to many people here agree

 

[xianfeng]

40 sounds nice.

 

[aleps]

40 - 45 is ok for me.

 

[Kokaloo]

At least 45.​

 

[Lord Viper]

45-60, a game that big should have that many.

 

[RedMage8BT]

I'd like to see about 52, but I think a number like 38 is more plausible and realistic

 

[Sailyfee]

OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!!

What the above people said.

 

[Nilok]

I wonder if we can break it down to characters we know are going to return, like captain falcon, and factor in newcomers, and plausible characters to get a realistic number.

For instance, Fox, Samus and Zero suit, Mario, Link, Ice Climbers, Sonic, Bowser, Peach, Yoshi, DK, Diddy Kong, Kirby, Lucas, Snake, Zelda, Ike, Pit, Meta-Knight, Dedede, Wario, PT, and Pikachu = 23
Which is three less than the number of characters in Melee

now, assuming Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Ness, Game and Watch, Mewtwo, Jigglypuff, and Luigi = 30

Now, assuming that our current base number is now 30, and that there will be another 3rd party slot open (31) and also assuming that only Roy is being replaced leaving Marth to remain (32) what other characters would Sakurai realistically add to Brawl?

 

[Kokaloo]

Actually,
I take back what I said before.
I want the minimum amount of characters to be the max they can possibly put on the disc.​

 

[Andy4Brawl_911]

guys looking too bright, \
least - 37
Happy - 40
Super Happy - 45
OMG! HAPPY! - 50

 

[Gerudo Warrior]

32 -36

we don't need smash overloaded with character

 

[Black/Light]

45-50 is my wants and guess.

 

[Ferro De Lupe]

Fifty is the absolute maximum that I'm expecting.

43-37 is what I AM expecting.

 

[Orbinas]

I'd expect 35-40, maybe 45 at max.

 

[Andy4Brawl_911]

I'd expect 35-40, maybe 45 at max.

good summary

 

[Neanderthal]

Bout 35-40, Seriosuly has there ever been a game with anywhere near 50 characters?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Bout 35-40, Seriosuly has there ever been a game with anywhere near 50 characters?

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2?

 

[Kokaloo]

Bout 35-40, Seriosuly has there ever been a game with anywhere near 50 characters?

DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 has over 160 I believe.​

 

[platnum]

Bout 35-40, Seriosuly has there ever been a game with anywhere near 50 characters?

there has been one with over 145 characters.

 

[Doodx]

40-50 and 60 is just a dream

 

[CoolSonic]

Presonaly i think that, for some reason, the more chars there are, the worse the are developed. I was thinking somewhere betreen 30 and 35, and no more.

I don't like having tomany to chose from. Once as a child i cried because i could ot chose between chocolat moose and cake. Shows how sad i am.

 

[Chepe]

Lets see...

26 Melee characters, minus 3-5, add the first 5 newcomers, then about 10-15 more new characters, for a range of 36-43 characters. Sounds plausible to me, and I wouldnt expect more than 45 selectable characters on the roster...

6 more newcomers have been revealed as far, and Im guessing we will get about 7 more...

 

[Hong]

I clocked 36 with a 2 character margin of error.

 

[MysticKenji]

Somewhere around 40

but if you think about it, its Sakurai he can do anything. Plus look how long they've had to work on it. They pushed the game back 2 months. Im sure they could add 50 characters and not have a problem being developed

 

[SubparSmashBrother]

I think there will be 36-44 characters. I want around 40.

 

[Enigma14]

42 about, at most

 

[HaXer]

I think..

I Think There is 35.


30 -
35 - Happy
40 -Yay happy
50 -Dream

 

[kunai_abuser]

My hope is at least 38 and no more than 50, I believe 42-45 is the best bet, but what do I know?

 

[MegaTravis]

At least 50 if not that then 40-45.

 

[Soft3x]

I hope for 40-50 playable characters! :D

 

[Roy-Kun]

Minimum of 37-40 Characters, while in Maximum we will get 45-47 characters.

I just want 4 FE reps, and 2 Golden Sun reps, and my life is complete, heh.

 

[A New England Winter]

150. Make it epic.

*To be honest, I think around...eh...45-50 characters*

 

[TenshiOni]

35-40 sounds about right.

Anymore and I'll be genuinely shocked.

 

[moneysworthless]

50, 51 sounds good, i wouldn't be surprised to see it

 

[Qbuilderz]

45 to 50 is most likely, if not, the said they want at least 40.

[Zevox]

I think around 40 is a realistic number - perhaps a few more, perhaps a few less, but thats the ballpark. In the less than a year that they worked on Melee, they came up with 14 new characters, and that alongside all the new modes, features, physics, etc and having to restore the game from scratch since they couldn't use the N64 work. They've had more than two years working on Brawl, and had the melee work to build on. I think they can definitely hit 40 characters, even with some veterans being removed.
