The title is self-explanatory, this is a comprehensive list of character changes I believe could or even should be added to the next Smash game. It's a passion project of sorts, I love doing things like this and this is something of a way to release all my pent-up "nerd" energy. | |||
All characters will be done in alphabetical order, with specifics added in at my discretion. I'm editing this page as often as I can, and I intend to complete it before the year is over. I strongly encourage everyone interested to convey suggestions and ideas on the corresponding [[User talk:Iron Warrior/Potential list of character changes for SSB6|talk page]] and ignore [[SW:OWN]] if necessary. | |||
Apologies for any inconvenience. | Apologies for any inconvenience. | ||

Latest revision as of 13:53, May 3, 2022
The title is self-explanatory, this is a comprehensive list of character changes I believe could or even should be added to the next Smash game. It's a passion project of sorts, I love doing things like this and this is something of a way to release all my pent-up "nerd" energy.
All characters will be done in alphabetical order, with specifics added in at my discretion. I'm editing this page as often as I can, and I intend to complete it before the year is over. I strongly encourage everyone interested to convey suggestions and ideas on the corresponding talk page and ignore SW:OWN if necessary.
Apologies for any inconvenience.
