The fact that none of you mentioned Midna for fan service/AT promotion makes me sick.

Sick.

If Goku DID make it in, which form do you think would be used? Base? Super Saiyan? Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan?
Base form.
Super Saiyan for a few moves.
Blue for final smash.

First two are the most iconic Gokus. The last one is the more recent and I think Toei would want it included.

No room for SS2 or SS3. While 3 is iconic in its own sense, it's nowhere near base and Super Saiyan. Nor is it recent. SS2 Goku was barely a thing, and SS4 lol that's for sure not being referenced.

Oh **** I keep on forgetting she's an assist trophy. Her plus Skull Kid plus Impa (Skyward Sword design) would perfect Zelda roster representation though - you'd have a playable rep for every single mainline console Zelda game since Alttp.

Srsly though Midna is deffo great and probably one of the best characters Nintendo's ever put out

Kid Goku.

In the same way that Sakurai has tried to reference "OG" Mega Man, and Pac-Man, and Snake (to the best of his abilities) he would put a twist on Goku to celebrate Dragonball rather than Dragonball Z.

Powerpole. Martial arts directly referencing his movements in the manga. A kamehameha. Final smash is his great ape form.

Kid Goku would be sick, but having DBS Goku would be sooo much fun. I just play SSF2 to tide me over from screaming about Goku on forums...

OG Ganon would be cool but part of me thinks 'oh God not another variation on a triforce wielder'. Still, he could have a really fun moveset and give us the accuracy to the character which Dorf is kind of lacking. Would be down for him tbh

Imagine now , the moment your Dream character finaly gets revealed for Smash.
I imagine CaptainAmerica CaptainAmerica ’s reaction to Dragonborn in Smash being to a lesser or neutral extent similar to this video.

Oh man, you know it.

I was so hype about :ultsquirtle: I couldn’t sleep that night. Squirtle overshadowed Ridley for me. But if they surprised us with Dovahkiin...man, I’d be going legit insane.
So how would you guys place the characters in regards to how you like to play as them in Ultimate?
I kinda like to main the random button a lot. Granted, there are some I like more than others, but I like to mix it around.
Unless we get Dovahkiin, then that’ll be my ultimate main no matter how bad he is...
Play most::ultlink::ultzelda::ultpokemontrainer::ultganondorf::ultike::ultkrool::ultyounglink:
Like::ultduckhunt::ultfox::ultmewtwo::ultcharizard::ultpeach::ultdaisy::ultridley::ultrobin::ultsimon::ultsnake::ultsonic:
And then everyone else below that.

I do know that GnW’s changes make him tough for me now, and I just can’t seem to get a handle on Woomy or Cena, but they’re ok. Even the characters I didn’t like before, I don’t mind that they’re in.

I mean I think it’d be fine considering all that this Ganon is capable of doing. This won’t be a :ultmario:/:ultdoc: or :ultlink:/:ultyounglink:/:ulttoonlink: case.

:D Thank you, Noi!

xD Basically, from the minutes I got to play as Ridley in a party, I felt that my mind, heart and soul were REALLY FEELING IT! Living the dream.

I will always hold dearly to my heart my old mains, starting with Fal and ending with Wolf. I thought I was going to drop Ike since he no longer Fights for his friends :'( But after kicking a friend's butt with him in a nostalgic Brawl match twice, I might give him a second chance.

; u ; I love Rosa, I really do, but I haven't got the chance to use her or get how she works.

Since I didn't get my Omega Ridley alt...Eh...I guess Dark Samus will do just because of the Phazon attacks. ( ;'( Still, WHERE IS MY OMEGA RIDS ALT, NINTENDO?!)

The last one is self explanatory.

Skull Kid in my opinion is the Definitive Zelda rep yet to be put into Smash. He has the fan support behind him, he has potential for a great moveset, he would be representing one of the most popular Zelda games that have yet to get a Character Since YLink is repping OoT, his Personality fits so well within Smash, and His Design is just so intriguing. Admittedly Pig Ganon would be cool but we really don't need Three Links Two Zeldas and Two Ganons in my opinion that's just kind of bad Representation.

The Problem with the Zelda franchise is that it switches out it's villains and reps so frequently Sakurai's team likely doesn't know who should be added since the Main Cast who does not switch out much (Link, Zelda, Ganon/Ganondorf) are already in Smash. They could go with Popular Zelda characters like Skull Kid, Impa, Midna and Pig ganon or they could do other things with it.

It's not so much the moveset - I agree that Ganon and Ganondorf would play nothing alike - it's more that I'd prefer variation in characters in terms of who they are. Like you could remove Bowser from the roster and replace him with a fire-breathing, shell-wearing Mario who plays exactly the same, but it'd still be a shame as that'd reduce roster diversity. This is especially a problem with Zelda given that all 6 characters are effectively only three.

Still, I'm a filthy hypocrite as Paper Mario is my second most wanted character

Except Links and Zelda/Sheik are different characters, unlike :ultzss::ultsamus: or :ultdoc::ultmario:

I've never really been a fan of Pig Ganon, but at this point, I'm up for just about anything. Seriously, just give me anything that isn't a fourth Link.

Honestly, I don't think there's a single character who fits as the "defenitive Zelda rep".


You've got popular characters like Impa who're series regulars, but their roles and designs are so inconsistent that it's hard to gauge just how important they really are to the franchise.

Then there's popular one-shots like Midna and Skull Kid. Extremely iconic, plenty of potential, but hard to buckle down on them when you know they're already outdated and there's a very small chance of them ever being relevant in the main games again.

Last, we have characters like Tingle and Pig Ganon. They're recurring, they're (debatably) iconic to the series, but lack fan demand like other characters from the franchise.


IMO, the next Zelda rep could literally be anyone. It's fun to speculate and debate over, but also a little nerve-wracking and depressing.

Honestly the more I think about it, OG Ganon is my more favored Zelda mewcomer. Moreso than Impa even who I think people overemphasize somewhat.

And that also includes one-off Zelda characters who are AT's.

Sad thing is that despite the Debates we might not even get a new Zelda rep for a looooong time. I'm personally hoping for Skull Kid but I would be fine with any new Zelda rep.

I wouldn't mind really tho obv I don't see it as likely.

Though it would be a really interesting touch if they had Tetra/Toon Zelda with the idea that they're both Echo Fighters for Toon Link & Zelda respectively.

I don't think it's likely at all. Tetra's kind of irrelevant at this point and she doesn't have big fanbases like Skull Kid or Midna but even so I would be fine with Her.

Ganon is definitely the optimal Zelda newcomer for me. Original villain, unique design and the playstyle would showcase this. A magic trident wielding swine. The stuff of dreams.

I also agree Impa is overemphasized. I would still prefer her over the many one-offs but she is not a must have either. Most of the time she is just there hanging around. Not to mention she has no consistent design which makes it somewhat jarring. She is either a fit sheikha warrior or a grandma. Or whatever else!

I still feel like the best potential new Zelda rep we could have gotten was a unique Young Link. But unfortunately that ship has long since sailed.
He was only considered when Sakurai was looking for quick clones, so I don't think he really had any chances.

You are talking about one of Ganon's inconsistent character designs in the first part of your post.
