So we know there's a mode that includes fighting bosses, not stage hazard bosses but actual boss fights like in Subspace. So far we have Dracula and Rathalos, who would you like to see?

For me, anything from Pikmin, Plasm Wraith, Titan Dweevil, Emperor Bulblax. Also a boss from Xenoblade X like the Vita or Zu Pharg would be amazing. Other cool ones could be Andross, Natural Killer Cyborg, or 02 from Kirby.

I don't know that we know this for certain, but it's likely.

If it happens, I'd like to see a full pig ganon boss fight. I can't think of anything else that you havent already mentioned right now.

King Boo.
Vaati.
King Bob-omb.
Oh I like king bob-omb. That could make for a fight needing a bit of strategy (since he could explode if you do the wrong thing)

Who put Vaati up?!? I'd much rather have him be playable!!!

Anyways, characters I'd be interested in fighting as bosses include Dr. Eggman (in one of his more iconic boss machines, preferably one with him visible in the cockpit — I'm thinking the Egg Viper would be best), Volcarona (throwing fire everywhere) or Necrozma, Andross (in his Star Fox 64 incarnation), and Medeus, Anankos, or Velezark.

Well....if I could add whatever I wanted....

Saturos & Menardi / Fusion Dragon (Golden Sun)
Cackletta (Mario & Luigi)
Shadow Queen (Paper Mario: Thousand Year Old Door)
Zero2 (Kirby: The Crystal Shards)
Giygas (Earthbound) (presuming Giygas isn't playable)

Also I don't see why they can't bring back Rayquaza and Porky Minch from Brawl. Heck bring back Tabuu while they're at it.

You're not the only one!

Off the top of my head...

Porky, Medusa (if not playable), Giygas, Shadow Queen, Sephorith, Necrozma, King Boo, King Bob-Omb (I like this idea), Twinrova,

I'd like to see Porky and Rayquaza reprise their boss roles from Brawl, possibly with a new "stage" set on their home setting like how Dracula has an alternate version of his castle. Hopefully Metal Face and Yellow Devil, despite being normal stage bosses, also get included in whatever more with boss battles we get.

As for new bosses, I think we'll certainly get some more. Pig/Beast (Calamity?) Ganon would be a good choice. Jenova would be a good choice for FF7. I'd like to battle against M. Bison for Street Fighter also. As mentioned, one of the larger beasts from Pikmin would also make a good boss too.

I'd also like to see more bosses from fighterless games, like Rathalos, games as well.

I definitely see Necrozma being a boss. He could even have two phases, and turn into Ultra Necrozma partway through.

Over there! (Note: Not a 100% guarantee)
I'd love to see Wingo from Captain Toad, Psycho Mantis, The Fractured Mirror and just a slew of Earthbound sub-bosses. Also Hooktail.

On the topic of bosses, I had an idea of the way the dynamics of the fights would flow. Instead of a time limit, you're put into a time crunch because the bosses slowly destroy the battlegrounds you're standing on, giving you less and less space to maneuver attacks and compiles more pressure to pick off the boss as soon as possible.

possibly a stage themed after mm7's robot museum, where robot masters will occasionally appear as bosses similar to the castlevania stage

How about Empty Vessel Garon from Fire Emblem Fates?

If we get Porky/Pokey as a boss, I’d like to hear a remix of Pokey Means Business.

Eggman in something other than the Death Egg Robot from Sonic 2. I'm so sick of that thing.

The S3&K Death Egg Robot could be cool tho.
Look at this thing, it's terrifying!


Big Arm would also work nicely.


The Egg Viper from Sonic Adventure would also work.


I'm mostly thinking these bosses take place in areas that would easily translate into a simple walk-off stage or a single, flat, floating platform.

There already seem to be two bosses, four if the old stage bosses are counted (besides Dark Emperor).

But I also think these are possibilities:

Kid Icarus: Hades. His whole thing was devouring spirits, so he would make sense as a major villain in Spirits mode
Mario: Petey Piranha returning, maybe a new Mario boss would be more proper but idk
Zelda: Maybe a boss version of Skull Kid who brings down the moon? Or even a boss version of "Demon King Ganon"
Metroid: I think Rathalos is probably the only boss who's also an AT, so not Mother Brain. Maybe Kraid lol
Kirby: I'm hoping for Marx but it might be something more like Dyna Blade
Pokemon: I'm actually expecting Yveltal and I'm not sure why, just seems boss-worthy
EarthBound: Porky again
Fire Emblem: Black Knight, I would say Grima but two dragon bosses seems unlikely
Pikmin: Plasm Wraith probably, I'm not expecting too much Pikmin content tho (sadly)
Sonic: Dr. Eggman please, I would prefer Big Arm

We will probably only get a fraction of these, but still interesting to think about.

Speaking of Bosses, I could think about a world where before the boss battle you deafeat the actual character. Like, after defeating it returns bigger and stronger. Example :
- Speaking of The Legend of Zelda bosses, Ganondorf after being Smashed could return as Pig Ganon on the stage, Vaati would be great either playable either boss, but what about both? His Boss Form could be the dark cloud one-eyed thing (and for his Final Smash I would prefer his Mage Form, as the first phase of his Final Battle in The Minish Cap);
- You defeat Bowser, you get permanent Giga Bowser with stamina;
- I'm seeing Medusa playable likely, and after you defeat her she cuts her head off and combats like that (even thought this could bring confusion to the Castlevania Medusa);
- It's Smash, something random could happen and while battling Meta Knight, Haltmann shows up and puts him on the Mecha Armor...

And then obviously there are normal, unique bosses, Eggman is very likely, but I have more :
- As Pokèmon, if we're not getting any Gen 5 representation then just put a Golurk or a Black-Kyurem;
- Metal Face is alright here, what about the Arachno Queen?
- King Bob-Omb to bomb up the party;
- The Draygon, in an interesting underwater battle, even thought Smash characters can't actually swim;

And finally, someone from the Subspace Emissary returns, Tabuu in a new form, Delta-Rayquaza as angry as ever. Galleom and Duom with some reinforced armor, Rid...oh. Some original bosses would be great too.

I prefer Hades as playable, even if it is DLC

As far as bosses, if we do get our story mode, I'd like Nidoking and Nidoqueen as a dual boss fight, with Kirby and Jigglypuff as the ones fighting them. The cutscene would show Kirby angering the two, and looking scared because it looks like a two-on-one fight. That's where Jigglypuff comes in and makes it a fair fight. You control either one (in 2-player mode human players control both).

Kracko and Boom Boom (from SMB3) are other bosses I'd like to see in a potential story mode.

Oh and a new original boss called Giga Charizard, which is a mixture of both mega forms of Charizard and the Giga elements of Bowser. It would bring back the unplayable element of Giga Bowser from Melee.

Agree to disagree but I feel if anyone from Kid Icarus should get in its Medusa since it'd be another female Nintendo villain (Other being Dark Samus who I always thought was genderless) and easier to get into the game being an Echo of Palutena. That and having more history having appeared in the first game. I don't know Hades just has that feel to being more of a boss. Plus can you imagine the witty jokes he'd make to characters (Whoever you play) while fighting him. That and being his goal was devouring souls in Uprising, he'd fit perfectly for the supposed story of Spirits.

Crocomire could also be an interesting boss fight, since you defeat it in pretty much the same way you battle in Smash.
