Smash Rosters

[Darky's Reincarnation]

so people, hear me out on this one

i've been walking around with this thought for a while now, and if you ask me; it isn't that far-fetched.

what if, if pokémon gets some kind of newcomer next to a returning mewtwo or/and lucario and it's...

[spoiler]
keep in mind, she is some what the final boss of and x & y
she has a huge fan base, and a special treatment since every generation she's been in.
oh, and she's female. well, that's up to you[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Also, it's a rather mediocre final boss, easily going down with a single Shadow Claw from a Doublade.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]i fucking shred her to pieces with one hex only, so that isn't really my case[/spoiler]

also that's true. but hey it was just a thought. i'm still kind of rooting for zoroark i think. but he would make an awesome pokéball too ( a copy of player who released him or one of the players in battle. assisting the one who released him )

[TomGuycott]

You know what? I could get behind that, for several reasons:

1. Mega Evolution
2. Used in an important X/Y battle
3. Girl in a Smash game with a bigger roster of girls than ever before
4. Third Gen Pokemon made playable

So yeah, I'd be way behind this idea, don't know why I never thought of it before. Also MAYBE wouldn't it be cool to have an alternate Gallade skin? 4th Gen could be repped a bit in that regard. Think about that.

[SchAlternate]

4th Gen could be repped a bit in that regard. Think about that.

Even more?


Though, personally, I feel Meowth could be a better Pokemon newcomer. I dunno, it just feels like he shoulda been in the game long, long ago.

[TomGuycott]

I would take Meowth over Gardevoir any day despite what I just said. I:

[Kriven]

I honestly feel like Blaziken and Genesect don't matter. I mean, maybe Genesect because of the movie where it battles Mewtwo, but eh.

Snorlax and Marill rank higher than they do, IMO. So does Gardi and Meowth.

[Omega]

Personally I'd rather have more non first gen pokemon, we already have Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo and the Pokemon trainer.

But don't use Gardevoir, it and a few other pokemon have the more creepier fanbases.

[Kriven]

What, you don't want Lopunny?

Figured I'd revive this thread by throwing in my own two cents (bumping isn't illegal here, is it?)

-Mario-
Mario - Confirmed
Luigi - Confirmed
Peach - Confirmed
Bowser - Confirmed
Rosalina - Confirmed

-Donkey Kong-
Donkey Kong - Confirmed
Diddy Kong - Confirmed
Dixie Kong - To be Announced (Callin' it)

-Yoshi-
Yoshi - Confirmed (Seriously, do we need anyone else? Yoshi should just be a Mario character)

-Wario-
Wario - To be Announced (Not going anywhere)

-The Legend of Zelda-
Link - Confirmed
Zelda - Confirmed
Sheik - Confirmed
Toon Link - Confirmed
Ganondorf - To be Announced (Not going anywhere)
(If we're gonna get a newcomer it'll be Tingle or Ghirahim, but I don't think either of them are likely)

-Metroid-
Samus - Confirmed
Zero Suit Samus - Confirmed
(Guys, Ridley's a stage hazard. Just accept it)

-Pokemon-
Pikachu - Confirmed
Charizard - Confirmed
Lucario - Confirmed
Greninja - Confirmed
Mewtwo - To be Announced (Callin' it)
(Squirtle and Ivysaur are out. And guys, there's no obligation to keep Jigglypuff. Stop acting like he's guaranteed to return)

-Kirby-
Kirby - Confirmed
King Dedede - Confirmed
Meta Knight - To be Announced (Not going anywhere)

-Star Fox-
Fox - Confirmed
Falco - To be Announced (Not going anywhere)
(Wolf's probably out. Maaaaaybe Krystal)

-Fire Emblem-
Marth - Confirmed
Ike - To be Announced (Could be gone)
New Fire Emblem character - To be Announced (Callin' it. Lucina or Chrom... Or both as a tagteam)

-Kid Icarus-
Pit - Confirmed
Palutena - To be Announced (Callin' it)
(Medusa might make it if Palutena doesn't)

-Pikmin-
Olimar - Confirmed
(Had an interesting idea to play as all of the Koppaites from Pikmin 3, who would play as a mix of Rosalina and Olimar, but they would be OP and banned so quickly and it probably won't happen anyway)

-Mother-
Ness - To be Announced (Not going anywhere)
Lucas - To be Announced (Could be gone)

-F-Zero-
Captain Falcon - To be Announced (Not going anywhere)
(Seriously, we don't need anyone else)

-Various Nintendo Characters-
Villager - Confirmed
Wii Fit Trainer - Confirmed
Little Mac - Confirmed
Ice Climbers - To be Announced (Not going anywhere)
Mr. Game & Watch - To be Announced (Could be gone)
R.O.B - To be Announced (Could be gone)
Shulk - To be Announced (Callin' it)
Isaac - To be Announced (Callin' it)
(I really want Dillon. If Mii gets in, I'll kill myself)

-Third-Parties-
Mega Man - Confirmed
Sonic - Confirmed
Pacman - To be Announced (To my dismay, his inclusion is becoming more and more likely as of late, so I'm unhappily callin' it)
(Snake is out)

Total number: 47 (43 if you count the ones I said could be gone)

[[robo9]]

Pacman - To be Announced (To my dismay, his inclusion is becoming more and more likely as of late, so I'm unhappily callin' it)

He's just one of the most iconic video game characters ever, and his company is helping design the game. No big deal or anything

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

And guys, there's no obligation to keep Jigglypuff. Stop acting like he's guaranteed to return

veterans do not get cut. jigglypuff is an iconic smash bros character thanks to its borderline-joke-character status and off-the-wall moveset, and is not going anywhere. any justification you could make to cut jigglypuff would also apply to captain falcon and ness, as they're also characters who haven't done much outside of smash bros for a long time and are largely remembered for being in smash bros.

[Kriven]

I don't know why people have such a hate-on for Jigglypuff... I always liked the character and was never particularly bad at using it. Sure, it's weak and light and slow, but those shortcomings can be worked around.

[[robo9]]

Jigglypuff is actually interesting in the regard, Kriven. She was top tier in Melee, and in Brawl she's one of the worst characters. Hopefully they do something to remedy that in SSB4 (in other words, to restore rest to its former glory and give Jiggly the ability to combo into it again)

[Mit]

might as well share my roster

things worth noting:
[spoiler]
-replace Ganondorf with Ganon (makes for a more interesting moveset imo)
-cut Snake because I doubt he's coming back (I wouldn't mind if he does, though)
-cut Lucas because he's a semi-clone of Ness (and if we get any new MOTHER rep I think Duster or Jeff have the best chances)
-cut the rest of the Pokemon Trainer's Pokemon
(might be worth noting that this fits with that one leak that said that 4 characters would be cut)
-added King K. Rool (due to him being interesting, and also being another villain character)
-added Ghirahim (Skyward Sword rep, though this could just as easily be another Zelda character)
-added Palutena (more or less a given for reasons including the leak)
-added Mii (we have a tomodachi life stage. miis are in)
-added Ridley (he'd be cool to play as, he could be all about grabs)
-added Chrom (he'd be the new FE rep)
-added Pac-Man (there are Namco-specific items, so it's pretty much a given)
-added Paper Mario (more of a personal preference, it's pretty much impossible to make him a clone too

also, dream roster
[/spoiler]

You know, I don't understand the Mii hate. They're a pretty big feature in 3 different consoles, and there's the fact that you could play as yourself (or anyone, technically) in Smash

[TomGuycott]

I want Miis in not so I can play as myself, but the crappy representation of Gilbert I have on my 3DS.
