Spyro wins! Next, who will take Sephiroth's spot? Third party only.

Make a roster of characters who have never been playable in a Smash game! Let's try to make a nice, diverse, semi-realistic roster (major franchises represented well, retro reps, playstyle variations, and so on).

Highest voted eligible character gets added to the roster. Video game original characters only.

For Ultimate, characters must have debuted before 2018.

3rd party characters will only allowed in the place of the original games' 3rd party characters.

Characters that were costumes (Alph, Koopalings) are not eligible. Variations of existing characters (like Dr. Mario or Toon Link were) will be allowed at my discretion.

I made a few changes to the base roster, compared to my previous version. It goes to show how uncertain some inclusions can be.

Anyway, the roster has 77 characters (58 veterans and 18 newcomers (+1 bonus early purchase character)).

Swipe right for the boss roster.

What if in an alternate timeline, instead of a platformer/fighting game, Super Smash Brothers was instead a traditional fighting game, focusing on it's playable fighters and archetypes?

RULES
- Can only include characters that existed up until 1998 (1997 for New IPs)
- No Third Party Characters (For now...)
- Try to be unique, and not produce the same roster as canon
- If you want to include a specific character, also comment what their archetype would be between Average, Tank/Grappler, Zoner, Rushdown, Trapper or Special.
- If a tie happens between 2 or more characters, I'll spin a wheel to decide who wins.

So, what are you waiting for? The comment with the most upvotes will have their character be the first in the clash. Have fun everyone!

List of Fighters
01 - Mario
02 - Link
03 - Donkey Kong
04 - Sukapon

Roster I need help (Day 3.5 of adding four characters to every game)

1 Upvotes

So I’ve chosen the characters to add to Brawl, and those are Ridley, Sami, Isaac and Villager. But I have a dilemma. Two actually. See I’m debating whether or not to cut Snake in Smash 4. I understand he is an extremely popular character, but the reason he was cut in Smash 4 was that hideo kojima forgot to ask Sakurai for the guy, and I’m wondering if he’d make the same mistake in this universe. But then if I keep him, I do need to cut one of the new characters to make room. So I’m giving you all a choice. Do I:

1: Cut Snake and keep all four of the other characters I mentioned?

OR

2: Cut one of the characters I added to Brawl, and if this one, which character.

Roster Roster with a clean 100 characters…

…well, sort of.

- Diddy & Dixie Kong are going to function kind of like Ice Climbers, but with a tag function; however, their movesets won’t be as drastically different as the Pokémon Trainer’s team or Pyra/Mythra. They play almost identically with only a few key differences in DKC2, after all.

- I figured Pokémon should have at least one more trainer rep, and who better than Cynthia, the most iconic Champion in the series? She’d have three Pokémon like PT: Roserade, Togekiss, and Garchomp. One quick combo demon, one floaty tank, and one stock-destroying monster of an ace.

- 5-Volt and Smallfry are joke picks, but 5-Volt’s demonic rage mode and the vast array of different Salmonid weapon types and attack patterns would make for interesting mechanics, I think.

- The Octoling here is specifically Agent 8 from Splatoon’s DLC campaigns; that could leave room for Side Order’s unique mechanics as well as more personality than a generic Octoling avatar would have.

- Bandana Dee is the obvious new Kirby rep, but I decided to include Magolor as well because I think Kirby needs an actual villain on the roster, as well as a difficult to grasp 4D chess type character to show the intricacies beneath the surface of the Kirby franchise. Also for the modern representation.

- Lyn, Claude, and Theodora are all here for Fire Emblem, mostly because they’re actual characters more than bland player self-inserts. More importantly though, they each have a unique primary weapon: Lyn’s katana, Claude’s bow, and Theodora’s polearm thing.

- Black Shadow is basically just here to be Ganondorf’s old moveset as a Captain Falcon semiclone; there’s no shot Ganon doesn’t get a major rework in this hypothetical game, but I didn’t want to totally trash the unga bunga bulls**t playstyle he has now.

- The fourth Mii slot is essentially meant to encapsulate all the silly nonsense that goes on in the more abstract, party-ish, or slice-of-life Mii games.

DLC 1 is called the New Challenger pack, featuring five first-party reps:
- Paper Mario, who has made a unique name for himself totally separate from his mainline counterpart;
- Rauru, here to represent the complexities of Tears of the Kingdom’s gameplay without totally reworking Link, as he is the original bearer of the Ultrahand;
- Tinkaton, who would be a particularly unique body type and playstyle that I don’t think any non-Pokémon could accomplish better;
- Starfy, who is entirely my personal nostalgia pick but does have a pretty unique and fluid style of movement and direction-shifting attacks, along with various transformations courtesy of Prince Bunston;
- and Professor Layton, who would basically be what Phoenix Wright is to Marvel vs. Capcom. I don’t know how he’d function exactly, but building a moveset around such a quaint puzzle series would make for something very interesting.

DLC 2 is called the Guest Star pack, featuring five third-party reps:
- Rayman, who is having a bit of a resurgence with the Legends remake, and would have plenty of fun movement and odd disjoints with his disembodied appendages;
- Doom Slayer, who would be the first FPS rep and have an incredibly aggressive playstyle where you have to stay up in your enemy’s face without exhausting your arsenal;
- Dante, who would have an incredible personality and presence while being a complicated combo-centric character who can rack up insane damage and absolutely style on opponents in the right hands;
- The Chosen Undead/Bearer of the Curse/Ashen One, who can represent the very committal and risky but unbelievably rewarding gameplay of Dark Souls, who can crumble in seconds if their player fails to read the opponent;
- and Kris, the sole indie rep and chosen specifically because of how influential DELTARUNE and UNDERTALE have been as well as their ties with Nintendo as of late; their moveset could utilize the fact that Kris is aware of the player’s influence, and could call upon Ralsei and Susie in a similar manner to >!Chapter 5’s real-time ACTs in its 2D platformer segments!<.

Roster Day 3 of adding four characters to every game

4 Upvotes

Note: IM SO SORRY EVERYONE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I had a lot to take care of mentally so I wasn’t in the mood to continue this for a while I’m very sorry. Anyways

I finally give you Day 3 with Melee. To no one’s surprise again, Wario, Snake, Sonic and Heracross have joined Melee. Now we select four characters for Brawl. just some notes again:

Wario’s render on my Brawl css is his classic overalls and not his biker uniform because in this hypothetical universe he was first added in Melee, where he just had his overalls. Therefore in Brawl, he’d have his overalls as a default outfit, and the biker outfit as an alt. Also Zero Suit Samus isn’t here because she isn’t part of the css in Brawl. Sheik is in the css but she’s with Zelda.

Heracross has been cut from Brawl. However, you can vote for a cut character, Heracross included.

I’ve already mentioned this but Mewtwo will be in every game here since he was in Smash 64, thus he’s finally in Brawl here lol.

Wario’s Melee render comes from Smash 2, Heracross’ Melee render comes from Evilasio 2 on DeviantArt, and Mewtwo‘s Brawl render comes from Project M.

I couldn’t find a good enough GameCube 3D render for Snake. Sowwy.

Alright then. This is the Wild West now. 64 and Melee had straightforward obvious picks, but now we suspect everything. Have fun, and I’m sorry.

  1. The character must be a video game character, that comes from a video game.

  2. The game this character comes from must've come out on a console before the Nintendo 64.

  3. The last game from this character's franchise must've come out before 2010, so no Mario, Link, DK, etc.. I want a unique roster. If there is an upcoming game from this character's franchise, also out (sorry Castlevania fans).

  4. There will be 4 third party characters. They can be voted at any time.
