It seems very likely Zoroark will be added to the roster. I don't think Zoroark will replace Lucario because their movesets would be nothing alike. For an X and Y rep, I'd say they could bring back Mewtwo and have him changeable into his new form. They could redo Mewtwo's moveset to make him a little more useful and different from Lucario. This is very unlikely, but if Gallade is in the roster I will go crazy because Gallade is my favorite Pokémon! I also get the feeling that Pokémon Trainer will be replaced in favor of a different trainer such as Hilda/Hibert and the 3 Gen 5 starters (My guess is that it'd be either Snivy, Dewott, and Emobar or because Oshawott is so popular Osahwott, Servine, and Emboar). It's pretty likely that other gen 5 pokémon (and maybe even gen 6) will be added as Pokéball Pokémon. The most likely to become one that I can guess right now would be Victini, Reshiram, or Zekrom.
As for non-Pokémon characters, King K.Rool, Ghirahim, Krystal, Mega Man, and Little Mac seem very likely to make it in due to how many fans that want them and they all seem like they'd be great additions. I get the feeling Wolf will be cut due to having a copy paste moveset from Fox and Falco. I don't think Falco will be cut because he made the cut from Melee to Brawl, so if he could do that than I think Falco is here to stay. I also think Sonic and Snake will be saying bye-bye because Mr.Sakurai said he wants to cut down on third-party characters, so that probably means there'll only be one in the roster, and seeing that Namco Bandai is co-developing the game and the fact that he hinted at a Capcom character making an appearance in the game, I think either Pac-Man or Mega Man will make it. Maybe both. I think HAL will keep Toon Link because of the Wind Waker remake for the Wii U and the fact that there isn't really anything that could replace him except for Young Link, but Toon Link is a well-liked character among the Smash community so I think Toon Link's staying for at least one more game. I don't want Ike to get cut because of how useful he is. I think all HAL will do with the Fire Emblem reps is just add 1 more, which would most likely be Roy, Lyn, or Chrom. I get the feeling King K. Rool will be the god tier character of SSB4 if he gets in because he'd be heavy, fast, and a hard hitter. He'd give Meta Knight a good run for his bits that's for sure.

One big thing to consider before speculating on characters from non-Nintendo franchises: how difficult would it be to acquire the license to use the characters? Pretty much anything that belongs to Sony (such as featured characters in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale) or Microsoft (unless they pull out of gaming), or anything that belongs to anyone who has exclusive agreements with either company, has practically zero chance of being included.

I'm seriously annoyed by how many characters some people want in the game regardless of how well they'd probably fit in and obvious overcrowding. We don't need more then at least 25 characters tops, because it becomes way to crowded then it should be. Last edited by Magmaster12; June 6, 2013 at 12:17:54 PM. |

I wonder if any of the Assist Trophy characters will come back as playable characters. Little Mac, Waluigi, Isaac (from Golden Sun), Lyn (Fire Emblem), Gray Fox (Metal Gear Solid), and even Ray Mk II (Custom Robo) could definitely be playable characters. Maybe even Kat and Ana from Wario Ware could be playable if they played similar to Ice Climbers. There would have to be some minor changes, but if I heard correctly, Nintendo has been developing SSB4 since they completed Kid Icarus: Uprising, so they have plenty of time to finish whatever it is they need to work on. So basically Super Smash Bros. Melee 2? Last edited by Quadcentruo; June 7, 2013 at 01:47:38 PM. |

This screenshot pretty much sums up my reaction to seeing the trailers.
The Wii Fit trainer was certainly unexpected, too. I like the start of her introduction video! Last edited by Ningamer; June 12, 2013 at 12:18:18 AM. Reason: Quit being such an ass, Cat. It's a ****ing screenshot of Skype, get over it. |

I didn't see Yoshi for once in this trailer, makes me wonder if he got booted or is now an unlockable character... oooor if he just didn't happen to be in this fabulous trailer. But the Wii Fit character, obviously the best character of all. That made me chuckle, I wonder how she will play like.... "YOGA ATTACK AHOIII!" That's all that comes to mind. Im' not a fan of the new additional characters revealed so far, Megaman and the Animal Crossing guy. Hope to see a better roster of charterers as we inch closer to 2014!

Wii Fit Trainer!!! Omg yes!
Okay all my little joking aside. I'm okay with this character list. (With the exception of lack of Yoshi's so far) I'm intrigued on how many characters this one will have. (If more than Brawl that is. I am also curious whether or not Snake or Sonic will still be included. I mean, I can see Sonic still being in since he is doing some exclusive Wii U titles. But Snake is iffy..... |

Also, MegaMan in Smash Bros. I can hear the joyous cries of MegaMan fans already, and honestly, I can't blame them. Next to Sonic, the Super Fighting Robot was probably a shoe-in for the Smash series, seeing as he was primarily on Nintendo consoles up until the era of CD Games. It's really nice to see him in Smash, especially with the arsenal he's packing. The Wii Fit Trainer, however, I find a strange choice, though she may be the next Non-Sequitor character of the game. I'm also somewhat impressed with the styles they're shooting for, the 3DS Version looks cel-shaded in comparison to the Wii U's HD Graphics, and even then, said HD isn't as dark in detail as Brawl was, instead, using basic colors that on some characters really make them pop out. |

I'm a little surprised by the revealed roster choice so far, mainly because I wouldn't choose them for the first trailer. But hey, it's their game, they do what they want with it. Mega Man is definitely an A+ Five gold stars from me, though. I'm happy to see how it looks so far, however I know this means that the hype will be dragged across the floor ever so slowly and painfully until launch, just because those greedy scumbags can(Seriously HAL, not even thinking about how I feel...). But in all seriousness, I'm glad they brought back the dojo, this is going to be one heck of a ride for this game, and it seems they're on the right track.... spirit track!(Get it, because the tracks is one of the stages? XDXDXDXDXD Okay I'll just leave now)

The Wii U version looks beautiful, though; I like the style that they're going for. While you may not be able to see the individual denim stitches on Mario's dungarees any more, the slightly more cartoony style is perfect for Nintendo's characters, and it will make them look much more crisp and colourful rendered in 1080p. I can't wait! |

So Balloon Fighter was also in the trailer, which raises the question as to if he's on the roster or is just an assist trophy. I think it's safe to say Balloon Fighter will be playable, especially because Sakurai mentioned that he wanted more retro characters in the next game. Since Final Smashes are back and Samus was using her's in the trailer, I wonder if Zero Suit Samus will return? They didn't show her with regular Samus so maybe not sadly.
|
#28
|

|

Wait a minute... you might be right because Balloon Fighter doesn't have a "1" on his shirt because the part where I thought I saw Balloon fighter he had a shirt with a 1 on it, just like the Villager. Sakurai DID say the Villager can grab any item, so maybe he took Balloon Fighter's Balloons and helmet or something... it's still possible we'll see him in though!
|
#29
|
||||
|

That's definitely not Balloon Fighter as a playable character - Either an item or maybe Villager's recovery move. I really don't want to see another old franchise with one notable game to return again this time; Sure, the new Kid Icarus game was awesome, but Ice Climbers just need to go.

"No DLC plans"
Yet. DLC actually would be cool for this game to add new characters or stages, but it'd get weird if you play with someone without the DLC, not to mention it could get expensive. Those titles are kind of boring. *renames thread* Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; June 13, 2013 at 03:36:57 PM. |

Pokémon Trainer says hi.
Actually, now I'm wondering what characters will get kicked out. At this point, I'm betting Pokémon Trainer is gone to make way for Zoroark and/or Mewtwo again. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; June 19, 2013 at 01:04:49 PM. |

Looks like it's confirmed that some characters will indeed be dropped:
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/201..._wii_u_and_3ds I'll also post this tier list here: http://www.ssbwiki.com/Tier_list#Brawl_tier_list Of course, the tier list means little when you look at how much certain characters have moved around and how they could just re-tool characters in lower tiers to be better. (I'm somewhat hoping Jigglypuff gets cut for a Pokémon that doesn't look like a clone of Kirby. ) Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; June 20, 2013 at 01:34:20 PM. |

Hmm, how are we going to abbreviate these two games? After all, there are tons of abbreviations that make sense for other games, like these:
Brawl = Super Smash Bros. Brawl Melee = Super Smash Bros. Melee Black 2 = Pokémon Black 2 X = Pokémon X or the upcoming Xenoblade game on Wii U OoT = The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time KI:U = Kid Icarus: Uprising ...But how will we abbreviate these? SSB3DS and SSBWIIU? |

You must not be really trying. Smash Bros. 3D and Smash Bros. U could work. SB3D/SBU. It's simple and very short for those lazy Americans who refuse to type whole things out.
Shut your filthy mouth. Jigglypuff is a main 12 and can NEVER BE DROPPED! (Plus I think Jigglypuff is a unique character with amazing potential... doesn't anyone else?... ) |
#46

I doubt Jigglypuff will get booted from the character list, but Lucario might and get replaced by Zoroark.
Some other characters that I think might get booted are ROB and Ike. From what I've read, ROB was just a filler character possibly just to go along with Adventure mode. There's also a possibility that Ike will be replaced by Chrom. What I think would be interesting is for Pokémon Trainer to get redone with a new starter trio to use. |
#48

Sakurai said there would be less characters (to fit with the limitations of the 3DS) so don't get that crazy with your ideas.
Pokémon Trainer will probably be offed as well as Lucario to make way for either Zoroark or something from Gen VI. I can see this one having very few clones if any at all. The problem was only slightly fixed in Brawl and considering the current revealed characters it might actually be a thing... I fear for you, Luigi! Please have some Luigi's Mansion upgrades... |

Last night, Turt and I were trying to predict the moves for the Wii Fit Trainer and the Villager from Animal Crossing. I've decided to try to predict the Villager's moves. One theory I had was that the Villager will have different Special Moves while on the ground and in the air (I doubt this will happen). If you see slashes in between moves, then that means either move could be assigned to that button alignment.
Villager's Moves (Prediction) A- Weed Side A- Umbrella Down A- Bowling Ball / Weed Up A- Stick(this might be a taunt) Dash A- Potted Plant Aerial A- (?) Aerial Side A- (?) Aerial Back A- Slingshot Aerial Up A- (?) Aerial Down A- (?) Side Smash- (?) Up Smash- Fireworks Down Smash- (?) Neutral Special- Pick-Up Neutral Special [Air]- Pick-Up Side Special- Shovel, Axe [if near grown tree] Side Special [Air]- Slingshot Down Special- Grow Tree/ Pick-Up Up Special- Balloon (Balloon Fighter) Up Special [Air]- Balloon (Balloon Fighter) |
#50

|

I guess I'll do what I found for Top Tier Character Wii Fit Trainer
Predicted Moves of Wii Fit Trainer Neutral A- Single Arm Extension Tilt A- Dance Down A- Bridge Up A- Triangle Dash A- Half-Moon Side Smash- Warrior Pose Up Smash- Tree Pose Down Smash- Arm and Leg Lift Up Air- Jackknife Down Air- (Generic foot smash without a name) Forward Air- Single Leg Extension Back Air- ??? Neutral Special- Soccer Heading Side Special- (Possibly Soccer Heading again, not a strong guess) Down Special- ??? Up Special- Hula Hoop Final Smash: Wii Fit (Launches numerous colorful Yoga and Strength poses at opponents.) Supposed Taunt- Push-up challenge. ...I predict out of love. |

Now a week later I thought I'd also share my Megaman predictions. After seeing his reveal videos a couple more times I got something.
Neutral A- Mega Buster Forward A- Walking Mega Buster Down A- Slide Up A- Mega Upper (From MvC) Dash A- Top Spin Side Smash- Charge Shot Up Smash- Spark Shot Down Smash- Flame Blast Neutral Air- Mega Buster in the jumping position (Hey, you can almost perfectly emulate the NES games!) Up Air- Air Shooter Down Air- Hard Knuckle Forward Air- Flame Sword Back Air- Slash Claw Neutral Special- Metal Blade Side Special- Crash Bomb Down Special- Leaf Blade Up Special- Rush Coil (Oh look, Sonic's Spring move. Sonic de-confirmed.) Grab- Super Arm (Because it was revealed as a Robot Master Power :I) Taunt- (That thing he does to enter and leave a stage. Does that have a name?) Final Smash: 100% Unknown But I seriously hope it'll be the MM6 or MM7 Rush Adapter. |

The story mode and speechless cutscenes aren't really necessary, especially in a fighting game. Though it would've been interesting to see how Wii Fit Trainer would've appeared.
There's still a 1 Player mode, though. |
#59

The entire internet isn't just you, Cat. They were leaked all over the internet causing many fans to see them long before Sakurai intended. This ruined the magic for a lot of people, so the Subspace Emissary wasn't as popular. And the team spent a lot of time working on those cutscenes.
This just proves that the internet ruins lives. Although, I spoiled myself to a few and I still liked them. |
#61
|
||||
|

You can argue all you want about if the Subspace Emissary was ruined, but we all know people come back to Smash Bros. games to fight with their friends, which definitely seems to be the focus in these titles. Not fanservice, not cutscenes, gameplay.

That's why Sakurai ALSO said the focus this time is being put on the fight mode. He's going for the perfect balance (So many Wii Fit Baby jokes) between casual play and competitive play to make one tight experience. A Melee x Brawl baby, if you will.
And because of this, do you think some Final Smashes will change for the better? If Peach returns, will it be better? And will Mario's actually stop sucking? |

It would be pretty tight if characters receive updated Final Smashes, though. Not necessarily because some were better (or worse) than others, but simply for the sake of new = interesting, which is enough to placate me. Just keep Luigi's the same and I'm set.

Unfortunately, it's statistically impossible for that to happen. The amount of beta testing to put all of the characters on the same tiers would be even greater than the balance required to put all non-NFE (meaning fully-evolved only) Pokémon in the same tier. There are always strategies and methods to use characters that are discovered months or years after the release of the Smash Bros. games.
I hope so. Pikachu is my main (mostly because it's the Pokémon that has been in every Smash game), but its Final Smash is terrible. However, it makes up for it with its extremely cheap Down-B Smash. |
#65

I'm going by what he's said in interviews. Now it's not necessarily going to be "perfect," I mean, what is? He just wants the gameplay to be fun for parties like Brawl and yet great for competitive play like Melee. Because apparently tiers and balance mean something to him.
I don't follow the tier list so as long as Wii Fit Trainer has amazing moves I'll enjoy this to the fullest. DOES JIGGLYPUFF MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU!? |
#67
|
||||
|
||||
(the irony is that I main Jigglypuff)
I for one didn't spoil myself to the SSE cutscenes, but then again, I really only played through it once and never really tried it again, and that was years ago. So really, I'm rather indifferent about the removal of the cutscenes, and I'm all for it if it means a better experience as a party/fighting game. |
#70
|
||||
|
||||
You are correct. Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary was made as it is different from just a "souped up Classic mode" from Melee. Sakurai, and I think Miyamoto too, wanted to have a deep single player experience with some solid multiplayer as well. Why do you think it looks and feels to much like Kirby Super Star? The plot was supposed to be explained through the cutscenes so you can see why he's upset, again.
|
#71
|
||||
|
||||
Umm, I'm gonna assume that "balance" is gonna mean buffing up the characters that are in lower tiers hence why Bowser was shown and sped up. Dunno if it'll do them justice since it's WAAAY to early to predict, but hey, they're trying.
Yoshi could use a buff for a better Up B, lol. Never really gives me THAT much of problem, but sometimes, I just wish it was better... As for replacing characters: I like Lucario, but he'll probably be left out. Hoping for Melee Mewtwo. I'm on the limb about Pokemon Trainer since he has Charizard, but he'll probably be scrapped, too. With that said, maybe Ridley will replace Charizard. MOAR METROID PLZ. Personally, I'd prefer Sylux, but he isn't really popular so... At least for a trophy assist. At least... |
#74
|
||||
|

Today's daily image insinuates that Villager's apparent Up Special has a catch: the balloons can be popped by other characters. The once "all powerful murderer Villager" now has a drawback if knocked under the stage or so. This drawback also got me thinking about his pick up move. Is it going to work like Oil Panic where he can just stand there as long as he wants? Or is there some key element of timing behind it? That'd make it a trickier thing to use. |

And it's also on the official website with lots of pretty pictures.

There have been a lot of confused Miiverse posts about Xerneas here. I just laughed, I know it's either from a Pokeball or a stage hazard like Dialga/Palkia. I don't know what special Kalos Pokemon there are... besides whatever Sylveon is and I've never seen one.

They have already said newcomers: manga man wii fit trainer and the villager
And they brought back two characters just because of games being released Sonic because of sonic lost worlds And toon link because of loz wind waker hd I hope they luigify toon link or else he's a wate of a character (Luigifying came from when they gave Luigi a different moveset in melee) I think they should include tails if they included sonic or at least add him as an assist trophy Meta knight and king Dedede should return as veterans and maybe they could have bandana dee because of Kirby's return to dream land Speaking of the Humanoid Pokemon in every game like lucario or mewtwo They might not even bring back those guys but if they do it's probably going to. Be lucario or mewtwo because of their mega evolutions but maybe they will bring zoruaork but that's Unlikely because of the fact that they skipped gold and ruby and sapphire. They should replace jiggly puff with another iconic but different Pokemon from the series. Pokemon trainer will be a hard one to decide, but I think they should have fennekin, foakie, and chespin (idk what their evolutions will be) Think about it ditto as a Pokeball character he could do what melee wanted him to do Transform into its master and help it in battle. |

There's a new idea with the male wii fit trainer but what are they doing about the thing with

Another image was given to us by the wonderful Mr. Sakurai. I hope he doesn't work himself to death...
That's the new Ray Gun. BEAUTIFUL, AIN'T IT? He said it was designed to be too cartoony to have any resemblance to a real gun, but specifically added the Smash Bros. emblem backwards so it would work like a stamp. It seems like he's really digging the HD the Wii U offers. (Seriously, don't kill yourself.) |
