He's my boy. And we need another swordsman that isn't a clone (assuming they give him the PM treatment). Looking at you Lucina

Ridley, because why the **** isn't he in already? He's the most recognizable villain in the metroid series...

I think I'll vote for Isaac. Though that might not be the best choice, since he's not all that iconic. But I think he has cool moves. There's always Wolf too.

If I was less reasonable, I'd go for Snake or upgrading one of the assist trophies.

Ridley, five times.

He's big and cool.


Also K. Rool, five times.

He's big and cool.

I'm stuck between Chrom, Wolf, or Snake. As much as I'd love some old veterans to come back, I would love to see a new fighter introduced as DLC.


Hate to rain on your parade, but it's 500 characters, not words.
Yeah that's what I meant kek. Used to putting wordcounts not characters.

I feel like we need a poll for these voted-in characters in a sticky thread. If we can tally our results here, maybe we'll get an idea of who will be next. This is a poor sample because we're neglecting many countries, but we can believe.

To go with this thread though, I say Paper Mario. He's so much more unique and has more options to design his moveset than any other character. He has pixies, stars, teammates, badges, and stickers. BEWARE THE STICKERS.

Other characters I had in mind:
Shrek (because Shrek)
Lanky Kang
Birdo
Rayman
Snake
Wolf
Goku (this is his only shot at being a character guys, and it could happen if millions of bros come together)
Ice Climbers(not too likely, but maybe)
Young Link (moveset could be Majora's Mask oriented)
Midna
Waluigi (give him a god damned chance!)
Inkling Girl

I haven't voted yet. I really want to make a single choice that I won't regret. In no particular order, here are the characters I really want to see get in.

  1. Wolf (Star Fox)
  2. Inkling (Splatoon)
  3. Snake (Metal Gear Solid)
  4. Rayman
  5. Popo (Ice Climbers)
  6. Tetra (Zelda: Wind Waker)
  7. Paper Mario
  8. Shantae

I voted Ice Climbers because having them cut hit me hard. They're weird and obscure but I've become attached to them as Smash staples. As for new characters, I'm hesitant to vote because almost every new character I wanted was an AT or a boss or terribly obscure to begin with. I might vote for Dixie and Krystal because Muddy Mole and Geno are such longshots. If Takamaru was still on the table, I'd definitely vote for him.

Voted for King K. Rool. IMO he would be such an obviously perfect choice. Potentially great moveset, huge demand/fanbase, a 3rd representative for the DK franchise, 1 more bad guy in the roster and a heavyweight like Bowser/King Dedede the game definitely needs one more of! And not to mention, he is KING motherf*cking K. ROOL man!

King K. Rool

we need more representation from the Donkey Kong franchise considering his video games appearances making a move set would be easy as pie.

I went with the Inklings. They would have such a unique play style, plus they seem to have become rather well recognized as icons for Nintendo over the past year.

Just voted for Henry Fleming since I believe my other wanted characters like Isaac, Inkling, King K. Rool, Lip, Snake and Wolf (though he's a given at this point seriously) will already get a lot of votes naturally.

Voted for Geno. 9 years going strong hoping for Geno representation in Smash Bros (all the way back to the Smash Bros. Melee gamefaqs forum)

I'm not taking "stage hazard" for an answer.

My only hope is that Sakurai, after seeing enough votes on this poll, will be forced to change his mind for Ridley.

I'd pay $60 for him as DLC.

Voted for Simon Belmont because I'd like to play as him and think he'd have a interesting playstyle/bring interesting content along with him. Plus he and his series have a long history with Nintendo, and I think a lot of choices in this thread could be added in this or a future game anyways without this poll.

Takamaru. Wonder Red, Issac, Masked Man, and Karate Joe are also cool, sadly they prolly won't stand a chance, not to say Takamaru will.

Voted Issac, Porky and Inkling.

I remembered after the fact to vote layton, but damn I'm bound by my word that I'll only vote once.

Isabelle from Animal Crossing

I have no idea what kind of moveset she would have and I know she's already an assist trophy but she's too pure for this world and transcends all reasoning

This ballot really made me think. Other than K. Rool (who I voted for) and Ridley, there's pretty much no more newcomers I can think of the top of my head.

Smash Bros. is truly an amazing thing.

I voted for Isaac not just for his ability to remain silent under pressure, but also for the future of the Golden Sun series.

I voted for Ray Mk 3 and Lyn. Under-appreciated greats here, my friends. K. Rool and Ridley will flood the votes. But those who I love will be the ones I throw my vote(s) away on.

I wanted to go the unconventional approach and suggested Kumatora from MOTHER 3. I mean, it's probably never going to happen, but out of all the characters in the MOTHER/Earthbound series, Kumatora is my favorite.

My other top contenders were Rayman, Inkling Girl, Bomberman, Karate Joe, Bandana Dee, and Viridi.

I voted Ryu from Street Fighter, because HADOUKEN!


Seriously, nobody thought that?
The game already have a Capcom character, and Ryu is THE Fighting game character, everything fits!

Up B -> Shoryuken
Side B -> That Spining kick I forgot the name
Neutral B -> Hadoken!
Down B -> Something... (SF4 Focus Counter Attack?)

I voted Bomberman. Because I've been in love with him since Wario Vs. Bomberman for GameBoy. I just know he would work so well.

Tails, he's Sonic's Luigi, and could have a great moveset. (This also definitely belongs in Character Discussion.)

I voted for Plasm Wraith from Pikmin 3 because I wanted another Pikmin representative and another villain, and he fit both of those without... being too big.





What, you're not hyped to play as a big blob of gold?

Home.
2 Roy and 2 King K. Rool votes (three siblings plus myself). Got to love the power of family. My hope is Roy being reworked, but even if not, always preferred his up-close-and-personal game to Marth's tippers.
And K. Rool because he's friggin K. Rool.

Inkling! They have access to a bunch of different weapons and movement options, plus they can be male/female and can have light/dark skin and they look really cool

What I really hope for is another villain representative. Like, we have Ganondorf, Bowser, and Mewtwo, and that's all the villains out of a 53 character roster. Wario and Dedede are just a greedy jerks that actually are helpful multiple times in their series.
