Copy Character
Mega Man. But requiring him to "off" characters wouldn't quite work...what if it's a one-stock match? I was thinking instead, maybe simply hitting a foe with his fully charged Mega Buster would be enough?

Multiple Stance
Takamaru. In his game, he either used a sword/shurikens depending on his range to the foe. Basically, turn that into a fighting-style, but controlled. A Takamaru with his sword out, more samurai-based, and Takamaru with his sword sheathed, more ninja-style.

Level Character
My idea for Little Mac...by successfully using his Counter (Down-B) Special, he'd stock up to 3 Stars. The amount of Stars would influence the power of the next Special he utilized, but each Special would "subtract" all the Stars. So you could either save up 3 Stars for a final attack, or keep using 1 Star Specials. Kind of like Playstation All Stars.

Item Character
Dark Pit. Like Vaan from Dissidia 012, he could switch through different K.I. weapons changing the range of his attacks.

 

[Boss Doggie]

No he just touches them.

Is that from Mega Man cartoon?

That would be awesome to see that. I'm afraid that Sakurai would simplified his moveset.

I think they should focus on improving the existing transforming characters before introducing more. They really need to figure out a way to encourage players to actually make use of the multiple transformations instead of just sticking with one and ignoring the other.


That said, I had an idea for Jill where her up B would eject her from her mech in a last ditch recovery move. If done off-stage, the mech would fall, but she'd survive. If done on-stage, the mech would land on the ground and she'd be able to jump back in it.

While out of the mech, she'd be quicker and more agile, but extremely weak, pretty much an intentionally low tier character. All of her B moves (except for maybe a recovery move) would be the same thing: she pulls out a walkie talkie to call in for support, which slowly builds an invisible meter which, when full, will drop off a new mech for her to use. The idea is that you're pretty much supposed to run away until you're able to get the mech back.

 

[GamerSoul]

That's a pretty neat idea for Jill and Takamaru too. Jill w/ her Mech would have to be a pretty strong character to have her basically become low tier which is fine. And you do have a point that they need to fix the ones they have now. I think Samus got the worst end of the stick though.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Fix Wolf's recovery and UB

Is that from Mega Man cartoon?

Yes.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Man I really hope Smash doesn't "learn" from PSA as far as stages are concerned.

I felt same. I felt that most of stages are too distracting in PSA, but it have charms tho.

 

[Diddy Kong]

A pal of mine over at Smashboards made a poll for characters you want to see featuring the top 25 character picks from '10, '11, & '12 (as indicated through his previous polls).

You can vote for as many characters as you'd like, so have a ball! The poll is set in stone though, so no more characters will be added to the list.

Please feel free to participate here http://www.yourfreepoll.com/sxjceltrsp.html.

 

[Nocturnowl]

King K.Rool currently sitting atop the pile warms my heart.
I'd love to see Sakurai give him a smash redesign.

Done for fun.

Same here. I voted for King Rool.

 

[Boss Doggie]

You know, people like to push Zoroark even though he's like, phased out in Gen V. What people should be talking about however is Victini.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

I have absolutely no problem with the top 5 characters topping that poll so far.

 

[Red Arremer]

Very sad Tingle and Impa are not in that poll for Zelda.

I actually recently bought Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland and played it a little, and it's an odd but fun game.

 

[Gorillaz]

King K Rool is a character I thought would be introduced by now in Smash.

Man I really hope Smash doesn't "learn" from PSA as far as stages are concerned.

Agreed. I like the PSA map "Stowaway" tho. The mood of it along with the music is pretty nice and would work in the smash universe. Tho the first part of the stage being all "cramped" is the biggest problem to me.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Oh well, at least the poll isn't stupid and biased from the start.

If Victini is in what would its moveset be?

 

[ffdgh]

v-create for instant victory.


Now then.....How would you all feel if sakurai put in push block like street fighter.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Do you mean like Advancing Guard? I'd be fine with that. It would help ranged characters get pesky opponents off of them when they don't have the time/ability to smash them away.

 

[ffdgh]

Oh the edge guarding possibilities.....

I suppose to not make it too good, it takes away double the shield.

 

[BGBW]

Very sad Tingle and Impa are not in that poll for Zelda.

If Sakurai wants Tingle in the game he will be in the game, this poll has no say.

 

[Boss Doggie]

To be fair advancing guard is in smash, but it's part of the perfect defense blocking.

 

[Red Arremer]

If Sakurai wants Tingle in the game he will be in the game, this poll has no say.

I know, but I'm still sad Tingle gets no love.

 

[ffdgh]

...well derp I forgot it existed for a sec since it could be more.....pushy lol

 

[Kjellson]

Monita for SSB4.

 

[GamerSoul]

Monita for SSB4.

you mean this?

interesting...

 

[Kokonoe]

Please no.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

The other day I decided to make the worst roster I can imagine
that had no character that was in the 0% realm.



I don't know how, but I ended up with 5 different links.

 

[Kjellson]

interesting...

It could work.

 

[ffdgh]

Please no.

Hey they could add fi instead. Links swords glow when she talks and she give a certain percentage that a character may be smashed off

 

[Kokonoe]

Fi is less bothersome and also has a much better design. Monita actually has a voice.

 

[Boss Doggie]

I just realized that very few characters talk in this game or call their attacks.

 

[McNum]

I just realized that very few characters talk in this game or call their attacks.

With one awesome exception, of course. "Falcon! PUNCH!" Just wouldn't be Smash Bros. without him.

 

[Kokonoe]

Indeed. Smash isn't Smash without Falcon Punch.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Well yeah aside from him and the occasional alternate voice clip ("EAT HER!" "GREEAAAAAT EAT HER!"). But generally I find it hilarious that they have the more sensible battle cries than most typical fighter.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Very sad Tingle and Impa are not in that poll for Zelda.

I actually recently bought Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland and played it a little, and it's an odd but fun game.

I personally would love to have Tingle in Smash under his own series, and I believe the creator of the poll is a fan of Tingle too. It's a shame he doesn't get much love. A Tingle Island stage would be awesome!

 

[Red Arremer]

Well most Nintendo characters are rather mute save for grunts, and there's not a lot of dialogue from them either. So...

I just got Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland a few days ago, and although it's a really REALLY weird game, it's incredibly fun, which is why I've actually started liking Tingle a lot more.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

For anyone into APEX SSB64 -- Some great matches between isai (malva00 on kaillera) and boom (SuPeRbOoMfAn on kaillera).

 

[Kokonoe]

wrong thread

Minish Cap Link.

He's just a Poison-Mushroomed Toon Link.

And Wolf Link. Not actually from Twilight Princess, just Link with Star Wolf's moveset.

 

[Anth0ny]

My man.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wolf Link doesn't even act like a wolf properly

 

[Sadsic]

so are there even like 10 more nintendo characters that should have representation in the next smash bros that havent already? i can only think of like 8 that would have unique moves and be instantly recognizable:

shulk
isaac
little mac
king k. rool
ghirahim
paper mario
animal crossing hero / tom nook
bowser jr. / baby bowser

after that i think it gets really esoteric, like captain rainbow or takamaru

 

[Drago]

Palutena, Dixie Kong, Ridley, new FE character (Chrom), new Pokemon rep, just to name a few likely candidates you haven't listed, plus the odd obscure/joke character.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

That's the beauty of it, since there's only a few more shoe-ins left they're free to really go balls out crazy with this game's roster without worrying about knocking out any overdue reps (whom I really only consider Ridley, Mac and a 2nd F-Zero rep to be).

 

[ffdgh]

10 characters? lets see how many I can name

K.rool
dixie
palutena
magnus
Medusa tho that may be pushing it.
zoroark?
kumatora or paula
bowser jr or daisy
ridley is too big
krystal
Lyn and roy
saki
jody or that samurai guy from fzero
Banjo.....darn you nintendo for not getting him back ='(

and for the wtf character......uhhhh Iwata mii?

 

[GamerSoul]

I agree. This game needs to bring back the surprises and craziness

 

[ScraftyDevil]

I'll say it again: the next game needs Agent J and Karate Joe to be playable. Nintendo rhythm games represent!

 

[ffdgh]

Whoops gamersoul's avatar remind me that forgot captain syrup.

 

[DeadNames]

Have any characters been confirmed yet?

 

[GamerSoul]

Whoops gamersoul's avatar remind me that forgot captain syrup.

Coolz. I know it's a longshot but I'm keeping the hope alive til it's all over. lol.

Have any characters been confirmed yet?

Not yet. Nothing has been confirmed other than the fact that there will be two versions of the game, WiiU/3DS, and Namco is helping with it's development with Sakurai still in charge. The game was revealed pretty early so it's a grueling wait for some information.
