You are in charge of adding 6 new characters to Smash Bros Switch

You are in charge of adding 6 new characters to Smash Bros Switch
you can add 3 new comers for free, but the next 3 will have to replace a current character on the roster.
who do you add/cut and why?

>Ice Climbers
>Pichu
>Young Link
No cuts and we have the full melee roster

>Deku Link
>Goron Link
>Zora Link
>Replace 3 Fire Emblem characters with 3 Alolan variant Pokemon, including Pikachu

But Nintendo is just gonna add 5 more FE characters and drop characters that people liked. Want Shulk in the next game? Nah, here's the cousin-by-marriage of a secondary character that had 34 seconds of screentime in the newest FE game.

Do costume characters like the Koopalings count as characters? If not I would make Lucina a Marth costume for an extra slot.

They could have done that with a lot of characters, but it wouldn't exactly open up a slot. It'd just make that character's file bigger, filling up the same amount of space.

Removing transformable characters is what miffed me though.

luigi

I would add Alm, Seliph, Tharja, Chrom, Azura, and Takumi. I'll take out Mega Man, Mario, and Sonic.

Ninten
Geno
Banjo-Kazooie

Swap Dr. Mario for Paper Mario
Swap Toon Link for Sora
Swap Dark Pit for Lip
because those are faggot clones and they suck

I would add the two sonic oc's from Super Smash Flash

>paper mario
How could I fucking forget?

>Carrying momentum from run into a jump
>Good ledge mechanics
>Single player modes worth playing
>L-cancelling
>Movement options
>More hitstun
The 6 best characters to appear in any Smash game.

Remove Robin, Lucina and Dark Pit.

DarkSydePhil, what are you doing here?

I'm assuming that's an eceleb but I don't keep up with eceleb garbage. Does DarkSydePhil also want a return to more traditional Smash mechanics?

Since they broke the Final Fantasy barrier, how about Sora?

No. He wants to facetank everything and be handed wins. So he'd probably want stunlocking and the ability to cancel a poorly decided move with L-cancelling.

>So he'd probably want stunlocking
Well, I'm not saying they should bring it back to 64 levels, that's ridiculous - but a little more hitstun would certainly be beneficial to Smash 4's combo game in my opinion
>the ability to cancel a poorly decided move with L-cancelling
That's not what L-cancelling is for

Inkling
The Minecraft dude
K Rool
A Donbe/Hikari tag team (pic related)
Wolf
Ice Climbers

Cut Lucina, Bayonetta, and Dark Pit.

Solid taste.

Delet this

Ammy from Okami
Simon Belmont
Incineroar
Raichu
Springman
Hector from Fire Emblem

Cut Lucina, Roy, and either Corrin or Robin.

I would remove 3 FE characters

>Lip
mah nigga

Seems like everyone is in agreement to ditch some FE. Either that or just change the title to Fire Emblem & Friends.

>>Good ledge mechanics
The current ledge mechanic is already good. The real problem is how floaty most characters are

Release two separate games,

Super Smash Bros + Fire Emblem Bros.

Edge-hogging was a perfectly legitimate strategy and in many cases was even pretty damn hype. The new edge trumping mechanic was put in for the sole purpose of stopping edge-hogging which just seems dumb to me. I understand the removal of features like Wavedashing because they were glitches and were obviously not intended to ever be used like that but removing the ability to edge-hog seems more like a direct middle finger to an established strategy that's been in Smash since 64.

Also having to actually face the ledge to grab it seems completely reasonable to me and I don't know why they removed this after Melee.

Boo
Koopa Troopa
Team Rocket's Meowth
Waluigi
Paper Mario
Knuckles, pre-Boom

Ditch Robin, Corrin, and Roy

>Edge-hogging was a perfectly legitimate strategy
>Donkey Kong wins SSBB by Edge Hogging.avi

>inkling
>Bomberman
>Bub and Bob

>bring back cut characters.

turn Lucina, Dr.Mario, And Dank Pit into alt colors of the characters they are clones of.

All I know is I'd remove all the Fire Emblem characters.

Assuming the game already has everyone from smash 4 in it?

Ice Climbers
Pichu
Solid Snake
Wolf
Inkling
Banjo-Kazooie

Ganbare Goemon
Marina Liteyears
Banjo/Kazooie

you know while we're at it axe Dr. Mario, Bayonetta, Lucina, wii fit trainer too. Nobody to replace them with, just remove them.

While we're at it axe dark pit

>Ice Climbers
>King K. Rool
>King Hippo
>Medusa (replacing Dark Pit)
>Ridley (replacing Zero Suit Samus) inb4 too big
>Porky (replacing Dr. Mario)
I just want more villain reps.

>unironically wanting pichu back
You have the oppurtunity to choose any character, from any vidya, and you choose the weak clone who doesn't even have much of a design variation from its original.

For what purpose? Because he was in melee?

He was fun in melee

inb4 FGC shitposting only retards take smash seriously. I just liked fucking with pichu on fourside.

also I'd gladly trade dark pit for fourside to return.

>add
Rathalos Hunter
Noxus
Girl from Arms

Replace Pittoo with Medusa
Give Ganondorf his own moveset or replace him with HW Ganondorf
Remove the Miis and bring back Ice Climbers.

>Inkling
>Ice climbers
>Mimikyu
Characters like Lucina, Dr Mario and dark pit becomes alternative costumes

Ganon
Bandanna Dee
Inklings
King K. Rool
Ice Climbers
Wolf

Mii Fighters are gone and 20% of people don't even notice.

Honestly they could anyone at this point and I wouldn't care, as long as they are fun and interesting to play. A lot of Smash 4's characters feel exactly the same with really uninteresting moves.

They could replace all the characters with stick figures, if they all are fun to play then I wouldn't care.

Add:
>Wonder-Red
>Waddle Dee
>Ice Climbers

Replace:
>Dark Pit with Inkling
>Lucina with Solid Snake
>Rosalina & Luma with Knuckles

Bomberman
I don't care about any other character.
Black or White Mage

>Isaac
>Maybe Piers?
>Also Sveta to piss of fags that don't like DD

No need to replace anyone.

White mage is cute.

>3 newcomers and 3 replacements
all I need
>replacements
Greninja for Alolan Raichu
Palutena for K Rool
Dark Pit for Inkling
>newcomers
Chibi Robo
Ray 01
Spring Man

Pretty good taste, except you're an idiot for removing characters that arent clones

I JUST WANT ONE CHARACTER
HOOPA UNBOUND
LOOK AT THIS FUCKER

Yeah because they're not interesting mechanically and they had little to no good reason to be there to begin with.
Really think to yourself, what does Palutena add to the game? Her selling point was custom moves but Miis pull that off way better.
That thing looks retarded

you look retarded

Bomberman
Ridley
Paper Mario

No removals because Smash fans are autistic, even if the character was an almost identical clone or someone who plainly doesn't fit in, someone will still find a way to bitch about it.

She adds a character with a unique moveset, you fucking moron

A "unique moveset" that nobody fucking uses
She's Zelda but with a slightly better mid-range and shittier smash attacks, she's only useful when the horribly implemented custom move system is on and even then I'd argue most of the other floaty characters in the game can do what she does better.
The only reason she's in this game to begin with is because Sakurai wants to fuck his own characters; she adds nothing of value.

cut
>dark pit
>lucina
>corrin

add
>bomberman
>wolf
>ice climbers
>galatic Knight
>some metroid character that isn't Ridley
>mii mage just to piss people off

if palutana's specials aren't changed she should be the first to go because she is just a waste of a character slot.

I use her, she's better than Zelda, and all of smashes offer unique dynamics to her character.

Also, let's not pretend that doctor Mario or Lucina(literally newbie Marth) add anything to the game. Quit being stupid

Banjo Kazooie
K Rool
Bomberman

Kat (Gravity Rush) replaces Lucina
Crash Bandicoot replaces Dr. Mario
Spyro replaces Bayonetta

Doc actually plays rather differently from stock Mario, there's a reason Plumber is top 10 and PHD is bottom 10
Lucina actually is pretty interesting on a conceptual level because removing the tipper can have a big impact on "Marth"'s neutral and combo game. The execution could be better but still better as a concept than "X, but better"

Let's also keep in mind that by not having to port unique characters you dramatically reduce development time, which is another plus to chopping off two of them

>dark pit remastered replace dark pit
>bomberman replace lucina
>simon belmont replace dr mario
>inkling
>spring man
>chibi robo

For free add:

>Ice Climbers for Justice
>Inklings for Splatoon
>ARMS character because why the hell not

>Cut Corrin for Isaac because fuck Fates there are better sword wielders
>Cut Dark Pit for Saki because clones are for shits
>Cut Dr. Mario for Lip because we have better arcade games than Dr. Mario folks.

Add Tingle
Bring back Wolf
Bring back Ice Climbers
Replace Rosalina with Toad
Replace Dark Pit with Ridley
Replace Lucina with K. Rool

i was destroying my friend with shulk while he was using cloud, and out of nowhere he's like "ok you're really pissing me off" all very serious. i'm like, get better you fucking autist dont get mad at me

Man, I'd kill for a Deku in Hyrule Warriors. I just fucking love the concept of adorable little birdo snouted tree people that shoot magical booger bubbles

Rayman aside, since he's basically the boring default answer.

What western third party character do you think ACTUALLY deserves to be in?

Doomguy has exactly as much reason to be in Smash as Cloud

There are people that still think smash is a fightin game

I completely agree, but what could he reasonably do? Most of his weapons are hyper realistic and bloody

Snake
Shantae
I dont know... Josuke?
replace
Greninja
Dr Mario
Rosalina

why would there be cuts, all he cut from brawl was wolf ice climbers and lucas

smash 5 will just add 10 new comers and maybe cut roy again

>Inkling
>Ribbon Girl
>Paper Mario

>Replace Lucina with Ridley
>Replace Lucas with Ice Climbers
>Replace Dark Pit with Ivysaur

>ribbon girl

Why do people keep suggesting her over the mascot?

Who is the most honest character in this game?

Bandanna Dee
Neku Sakuraba
Rayman

Anna to replace Lucina
Dark Pit gets remade from scratch
Toad to replace Rosalina

Go Smash!Bayonetta/PSABR route and just don't have blood

what do you mean by honest?

He's the only Western icon on the same level as Mario, Sonic and Pacman.
Except maybe Chief

>he cut Lucas

Mario or Ryu.

Hell Nintendo has worked with activision on Skylanders, so it's completely possible.

>Bowser and Crash have officially had a crossover together

so weird

a castlevania rep
another dk rep
and waluigi

I find that DK and Crash being in a game together is more interesting since they are sortof alike. Bowser is cool too though.
