Revision as of 05:01, August 1, 2014
For the heck of it, I decided to make a couple of rosters for SSB4. I would consider neither one to be complete. Hover over the symbol by each name to learn my thoughts on each character or his/her game(s).
The links are up to date as of July 2014.
Main Roster
No random-space, though Banjo and Kazooie are where it was on my roster.
Removed Brawlers
I was not afraid of cutting for this roster. I previously cut Lucario and Falco, but both have been put back.
- Ice Climbers File:IceClimbersSymbol.png - Perhaps undeserving, since with them go their entire universe, but I'm not a big fan of the A.I. controlling half the character. They are still likely to return though.
- Pokémon Trainer File:PokemonSymbol.png - The three-in-one thing is a bit too gimmicky and should be improved upon if he does return.
- Squirtle File:PokemonSymbol.png - cut with trainer.
- Ivysaur File:PokemonSymbol.png - cut with trainer.
- Charizard File:PokemonSymbol.png - cut with trainer.
Confirmed characters I've missed
This includes those mentioned in my old roster, cut Melee veterans, and the Brawl veterans I've removed from my main roster (because why not be repetitive?). Will not include Villager and Wii Fit Trainer, though I did overlook them prior to E3 2013.
- Rosalina File:MarioSymbol.png - Since her playable role in Super Mario Bros. 2 U, I've put away my aversion towards her being playable in Smash 4. She probably would have been included in my roster if I had updated it since the 2 U announcement (I should have updated my roster prediction for OT's game at least, since I kind of did call this).
- Little Mac File:PunchOutSymbol.png - Kind of expected. I specifically avoided adding Brawl Assist Trophies though.
- Charizard File:PokemonSymbol.png - Without the annoying three-in-one gimmick, so why not?
- Greninja File:PokemonSymbol.png - It seems I picked the wrong Gen 6 starter.
- Mii Fighters File:SmashBrosSymbol.png - Miis were a request I did not take seriously. Though, the fighters do seem to have potential.
- Pac-Man File:PacManSymbol.png - The character is definitely a video game all-star and does deserve a spot on the roster, though I will never understand the internet's fascination with the specific matchup of Mario/Sonic/Mega Man/Pac-Man, since only the first three are known for 2D-platforming. Though, perhaps this is not the point.
- Robin File:FireEmblemSymbol.png - A character I overlooked in my search for the best Fire Emblem newcomer, but I'm glad he/she is in regardless.
Old Roster
My old roster (mainly for fun; updated from my contest roster to include at least one newcomer for each universe, excluding Game & Watch and Robot which I know nothing about):
I believe this roster to be outdated, mainly because, as I said above, I foolishly try to include all the characters I do.
Other notable ideas
- Daisy Cut for being a potential clone.
- Tiny Kong Cut for space.
- Young Link Cut for space.
- Original Ganon Cut for space.
- Blaziken or Infernape Ultimately went with Gen VI.
- Chespin or Froakie / evolution Ultimately went with fire.
- Zoroark Not entirely sure about this decision, but Gen V probably deserves a representative.
- Wes Probably not a good idea to include even Wes as a Trainer character.
- Dark Matter I'd prefer Magolor.
- Mighty Gazelle Prominent role without being the obvious choice. Cut for space.
- Super Arrow Cut for space.
- Ninten Limited space.
- Andy I honestly don't know how this guy would be different from Pokémon Trainer, only commanding actual people.
- Saki Amamiya I decided to use somebody else to represent the Sin and Punishment universe.
- Isaac Limited space. Though still a possibility, since I now believe Assist Trophies shouldn't return.
- Squall Replaced by Zael.
- Protagonist Actually, he might be a viable option now that Megami Tensei is set to crossover with Fire Emblem.
- Mickey Mouse Cut for third-party oversaturation. Though, it'd be interesting to see both series represented.
