Heres my latest roster. The fake leak inspired a visual redesign.
As always, there are lots of obsessive-compulsive details (most of which just conveniently fell into place, honestly):
- Mario family characters are grouped together
- Yoshi and Olimar are together (Shigefumi Hino games)
- F-Zero is next to Star Fox (shared universe)
- Animal Crossing is next to Pikmin (2001 EAD games)
- Olimar is next to Captain Falcon (space captains)
- Bounty hunters are together (Wolf, Captain Falcon & Samus)
- Nintendo EAD IPs are together (Mario, Star Fox, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Zelda & Wii Fit)
- The FDS Four are together (Zelda, Metroid, Kid Icarus & Murasame Castle)
- Retro characters are together
- Nintendo R&D1 IPs are together (Metroid, Kid Icarus, Ice Climber, R.O.B. & Game & Watch)
- RPG series are together (Pokémon, Mother & Fire Emblem)
- Second-party and third-party series are grouped together at the bottom (Kirby, Pokémon, Mother, Fire Emblem, etc.)
Also, like Brawls roster, I tried to pick an even amount of newer and older newcomers.
