Lord_Brand Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It's kinda hard to know what I'd pick without an idea of what the reboot's gameplay would be like; 3D Virtual On-style combat? Top-down 3D combat like League of Legends? Or just completely revamped character movesets? But based on what's current, I'd go with these picks: Spoiler Mario Luigi Peach Bowser Donkey Kong Yoshi Wario Link Zelda Ganon Samus Aran Ridley Pit Fox McCloud Kirby King Dedede Pikachu Chrom/3H Protagonist Shulk Inkling But the fact that they were considering revamping the gameplay tells me the next Smash might not be a Smash at all; it might be a spiritual successor, with a focus on fast-paced combat between characters from various IPs, but the game might not be a Smash title in the technical sense.

It'll be like what Dynasty Warriors has twice, painfully, gone through at this point with DW6 and DW9, except Smash having a much larger fanbase will elicit much more screaming. I've also heard some people say Pokemon is being weighed down by its sheer roster size, but that is quite different. 9 hours ago, Lord_Brand said: But the fact that they were considering revamping the gameplay tells me the next Smash might not be a Smash at all; it might be a spiritual successor, with a focus on fast-paced combat between characters from various IPs, but the game might not be a Smash title in the technical sense. I'm not sure if they could get away with that, it'd make a lot of people angry. The better solution would be to put Smash on the backburner but still making new ones, whilst shifting the developmental gusto into the new gameplay successor. Not sure how feasible this is though.

DW at least kept most/all of the characters, and varying shades of clones I believe had always been a thing outside of 8. Smash losing 70% of its characters after Ultimate would be a massive change; honestly, I think 30 is the minimum they could go with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_antithesis Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Oof, only 20? That narrows things down a lot! Mario Franchise: 1) Mario 2) Bowser 3) Peach 4) Wario 5) Donkey Kong The legend of Zelda: 6) Link 7) Ganondorf Metroid: 8) Samus 9) Ridley Pokemon: 10) Pokemon Trainer 11) Pikachu Franchises with only one representative: 12)Fox 13) FE swordlords (they would all be alternate skins of each-other) 14) Kirby 15) Inkling 16) Olimar 17) Villager 18) Little Mac 19) Captain Falcon 20) Rex&Pyra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayni Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 So, you know what? Let's bring the salt. :P Maybe. 20 only, no Third Party, Final Destination. Personal : Spoiler 1: Ike 2: Marth 3: Robin 4: Pokemon Trainer 5: Pikachu 6: Lucario 7: Mewtwo 8: Samus 9: Link 10: Ganondorf 11: Zelda 12: Inkling 13: Yoshi 14: Kirby 15: Meta Knight 16: Ice Climbers 17: Shiek 18: Ness 19: Lucas 20: Little Mac Pragmatic (With the assumption of the characters being linked to recent/upcoming releases): Spoiler 1: Mario (No brainer) 2: Link (No brainer) 3: Kirby (No brainer) 4: Falcon (Despite F-Zero's lack of new titles, Falcon is really associated with Smash. Can risk dropping) 5: Ness (Earthbound got a VC release and EZ happened, so of course) 6: Fox (Despite Star Fox's recent woes, no brainer) 7: Pikachu (No brainer) 8: Donkey Kong (No brainer) 9: Luigi (Luigi got a release on 3DS. So I think he'll get in here) 10: Samus (No brainer) 11: Yoshi (No brainer) 12: Ganondorf (This villain is a good choice imo, though divert more from Falcon) 13: Zelda (For the sake of the triforce being covered.) 14: Bowser (More villains, of course) 15: Dedede (Oh boy, it was him or Pit and Kirby has more titles out recently.) 16: Inkling (New guys, of course) 17: Pokemon Trainer (More G1 nostalgia and it allows for more characters. :P) 18: Ridley (Metroid getting two reps for MP4) 19: Lucario (Well, Pokemon's always relevant and Sinnoh remakes allows Lucario to pip Mewtwo) 20: Ike (Wait, why's he the only FE rep? With the new online platform supposedly doing GCVC, you know what that means? Tellius hype. So of course they'd push Ike and drop some of the others to avoid backlash off too many FE reps while they don't promote future titles. Poor Marth.) Wildcard (A villains only roster (Or as least as best as I can stretch it)): Spoiler 1: Duck Hunt (That dog was laughing at you the whole time. And now it works with the duck. A true monster) 2: Dark Pit (Villain. Simple) 3: Bowser (Villain. Simple) 4: Bowser Jr. (Villain. Simple) 5: Robin (Entirely because Grima would be the final smash) 6: Ridley (Villain. Simple) 7: Ganondorf (Villain. Simple) 8: Wolf (Villain. Simple) 9: Wario (Been a villain. Simple) 10: Mewtwo (Has had a villainous bent, understandable as it is) 11: Dedede (Villain. Simple) 12: Meta Knight (Been a villain. Simple) 13: Donkey Kong (Been a villain. Simple) 14: Corrin (Representing Fates's writing) 15: ROB (1. Villains in Subspace. 2. well, if you've been around the internet long enough I think you know the other one) 16: Mr. Game & Watch (ooo. This one's tough. The new villain I guess.) 17: Villager (Considering those eyes as they massacre the others around them, of course) 18: Pokemon Trainer (Well, when you consider how the pokemon world works, of COURSE they're in.) 19: Dr. Mario (The villainy of uninsured healthcare everyone. I swear Mario's not an actual doctor and is getting people killed.) 20: Wii Fit Trainer (The villainy of exercise!) Falco (Rival to Fox, likely to be made corrupted too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornguy Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I'm gonna post two different ones, one being a traditional reboot, with safer and more responsible choices, and the other being the Smash game I would make for myself. Mario Bowser Peach Link Sheik Ganondorf Pikachu Any current gen starter Kirby Dedede Marth Edelgard Samus Fox Captain Falcon Donkey Kong Villager Pit Sonic Megaman Now my game, I just want FE characters, plus other Nintendo characters that fit the fantasy RPG theme. No third party. I don't know how I would name this game, but Super Smash Bros probably won't fit. Characters split with the "/" are costumes with different voice lines, assuming I'm allowed to do that. If not, the character on the left takes priority. Marth/Lucina Celica/Robin Ike Black Knight Edelgard Link Ganondorf Zelda/Hilda Sheik Cia/Lana Pit/Dark Pit Medusa Palutena Hades Shulk Pneuma Isaac/Felix Saturos Takamaru Just for fun, a Pokemon gym leader who fits the fantasy RPG theme, like Koga.

SoulWeaver Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Well, this has been interesting to see. I must say, though, I'm curious as to the reasoning you all had for each individual character in your personal choice rosters, for those who took the multiple roster route. Mind filling me in?

Truebladee Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Fun idea. Personal choice: I can't lol Realistic choice: Mario Luigi Bowser Donkey Kong Yoshi Link Ganondorf Captain Falcon Mr. Game & Watch Pikachu Samus Kirby Marth Fox Ness Wario Pokémon Trainer Mewtwo Pit Ike But you can replace the last 5 with the following characters if you don't want a Nintendo exclusive: Sonic Pac-Man Mega Man Ryu Cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
