Soul Calibur v because they removed half of the original characters

TMNT Smash Up

>Durr durr MK8 has a bad roster
I'll never get this meme. Barring no Diddy the roster really isn't that bad, especially now that they added in Bowser Jr. And King Boo.

Most of the "fixed" rosters I see add dumb shit like RPG characters and obscure Gameboy characters.

Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite

Removing all babies would make the game better, they're fucking unbearable

You're the reason why I main baby Daisy.

I don't really give a shit. Adding Clones is only a problem when they they start removing characters that are actually important.
Plus there are people that like them.

this

Smash Emblem.

(You)

This. For the next one remove 4 FE characters and put ones from Metroid and DK.

...

You got it.

I came here to post this. 2 out of 7 of Smash's DLC fighters were FE reps. The only first party newcomer was an FE fighter literally no one asked for. We could have had 2 ballot winners.

No funky kong no buy

This. Fuck FE shilling.
I'd take meme entries like Waluigi and Ridley over another Anime Swordsman.

Ya got him actually playable in a DKC game now you can't complain anymore.

This and it's why I hadn't bought it, despite loving various musou games. The roster is just ass and pandering only to newcomers to the franchise.

Honestly the only characters you could add from those series would be Ridley and Cranky.
>Sylux
Too obscure.
>Dixie
Would just be a Diddy clone.

Marth was cool
Roy was cool aesthetically but just a filler MArth clone that should've never come back.
Ike was cool
Robin was cool
Then they went full retard.

Mario himself takes up three (four) different roster slots. Why not have all of his costumes on the very next menu with all the other customization?

What would be the perfect FE representation for smash?
I would say Crhom, Ike and FE Switch lord

Funky Kong. Literally any of the playable characters from DK64?

God Fates can go eat a massive dick, this is garbage

K. Rool

>Dixie would be a Diddy clone
?????? Dixie's ponytail alone opens a slew of move options. The only real problem is that Dixie and Diddy cover the same kind of fighter niche, being small and fast, but that didn't stop the 6 FE fighters or Lucario and Mewtwo.

Marth, Lyn, Ike, Robin?

>Lucario and Mewtwo
Partially because they fight entirely differently.

Ike, Robin, Marth/Lucina, no new FE rep.

People always go "oh but there are so many characters to choose from, but suprise suprise. Ike is irrelevant (votes in FE =/= series relavancy), Robin is fading fast and Corrin is begging to be forgotten. This is what happens when you put a multitude of flat, uninteresting characters in the same game.

I hope you guys play as the right guy

How do you go from having a great roster like Hyrule Warriors to this?

>Marth
Just an inferior Chrom, time to let him go
>Lyn
I like this one
>Ike
He should stay
>Robin
Theres no point in adding avatars to the game. Everyone customized him or changed his name in awakening so the one in smash is just a no one. Also i fucking hare his moveset

>Mega Man
>Pac-Man
>Ryu
>Cloud
>Mewtwo
>Bowser Jr./Koopalings
>Robin
>Duck Hunt Dog
>Bayonetta
Smash 4's roster was pretty great looking back, even without muh Ridley or muh K. Rool.

Funky Kong maybe, but I worry they'd turn him into a clone. The rest are too obscure and 64 is pretty much ignored.
If he was in a recent game sure.
Yeah and Wario and Ganondorf are very unique. Doesn't mean shit, if they're similar enough Sakurai is gonna be a hack and make them Clones.

Good taste. Koopa and Iggy are pretty much all I use.

It had a few gems, but overall it was held back by the absurd amount of shitty picks and clones.

>wanting to play on easy mode

D......do you think Wario is a clone?

>implying he wasn't easy mode in MKWii
I don't care, he looks fun as hell. Plus it's fucking Funky Kong.

Koopalings are shit. Baby versions are shit. Peach and Mario reskins are shit. That stuff takes up like nearly half of the roster. I do like Link though. It means I'm able to spot the try-hard nintendo-fags.

GT Final Bout

...

A lot of his standard attacks are twisted versions of Mario's but fine. He still doesn't play anything like how Wario should play.

Actual roster

>Hold my beer

I don't keep track of this kinda stuff but I have noticed a lot of Lakitu try-hards in casual games

>Koopaling's are shit
They're fine.
>Baby versions are shit
Eh Rosalina was pushing it but I don't care about the others.
>Peach and Mario reskins are shit
I don't really mind then but eh...
See
Barring Diddy and debatablely Funky we have everyone we could have. Everyone that really matters at least.

Extreme Butoden
>no Tien
>no Yamcha

How should he play?

>6 Gokus technically 7 with Vegito with the only difference between the SSJ ones simply being their outfits and one being called Super Goku
>3 Trunks with the exact same problem
>Vegeta only getting 1 slot and it's SSJ only

The only good thing about Final Bout was it's opening theme.

Seriously, I'm okay with even like 4 FE characters, but they've got more representation than anything but the Mario series. I think they even have more characters than Pokemon for fuck's sake.

Literally only Japan cares about this series, and apparently the most popular game over here that isn't Smash is a fucking freemium mobile game.

I unironically would like the roster better if it was half the size. Instead of racing against characters I care about, every race is stuffed with babies, palette swaps, and Koopalings.

>I don't really mind then but eh...
It was a bigger issue in the original. It was kind of annoying when unlocking a character that all I got was Mario but metal.

He should have his damn shoulder tackle for one.
More attacks from the Wario Land Games. Not this stupid farting nonsense.

Who cares who the fuck you're racing? If anything it makes beating babyshitters more rewarding.

Removing the shoulder tackle was one of the worse moves done to him.
> Not this stupid farting nonsense.
Literally only one move

>we have everyone we could have.

Okay fair enough.

This roster is honestly not bad at all, just FE oldfags being triggered manbabies that the most popular games in the series get the lion's share of representation.

The REAL issue is how many fucking cloned movesets there are

We're missing Wiggler and Honey Queen from 7, Birdo and Diddy from Wii and Double Dash, and other smaller characters they could introduce like a Goomba. Tell me you wouldn't love seeing a little Goomba steering with his feet and balancing items on his head.

They're usually like, kids.

>literally only one move
A really fucking stupid move that is an insult to the character. Would you be okay if Ganondorf's down special was him pissing himself?

Ganondorf isn't portrayed as a gross character. Meanwhile, one of Wario's special moves in Strikers (or at least Charged) is to create an enormous gas cloud. The man eats garlic.
Honestly, most of the "gross" aspects of Wario, aside from the fart, are due to descriptions and whatnot. Otherwise, Wario's moveset is just weird.

>8 Playable characters
>One is Wyald of all fucking people
>Mozgus is a boss, but isn't playable
>Post-eclipse Griffith is only usable as a Super Mode on an outfit that's a pain to unlock
>No Pippin, no Silat, no Rosine (no Lost Children arc in general), no Isidro, no Farnese, no Skull Knight, no Grunbeld, no Locus, no Irvine, no Rakshas
>Have to play as Guts for 95% of the campaign anyway

I have yet to be as disappointed in a game's roster.

is there one for morton/yoshi faggots? I HATE THEM

>everyone that really matters
Also she's a Wario character.
>Wiggler
>Honey Queen
>Birdo
They're honestly almost as bad in my opinion. Diddy and Funky are much more important. These three feel like they're scrapping the bottom of the barrel. I'd take a Goomba though.

Being gross isn't literally his only character trait. I'd be more okay if he shook a bunch of money around.

...

I only made that one semi-seriously because of my experiences in mario kart 7. feel free to make your own one for morton and yoshi, will probably be worth a laugh

>2018
>5 Playable Kongs in Tropical Freeze
>still no third DK character in Smash

Fucking chinks and their waifu shilling hurting legitmately good game representation

Birdo and Honey Queen would provide more female characters, which is what they were going for by introducing Baby Rosalina, Pink Gold Peach, and Cat Peach. Rather than make more derivatives of Peach they could add characters they've had as playable in the past.

And Wiggler got mad when he got hit, it was great.

I'm not arguing that being gross is his only character. I'm arguing that people are blowing the fart out of proportion. If anything, the descriptions and some of the bonus images or material should be playing up the greed angle (maybe have a coin smash mission with Wario. or something).

>Two distinctly different characters (Grys-Vok/Belgdor and Dordray/Dorkas) from the last two games are rolled into the same character with different weapon sets, and their appearances are butchered to be generic as fuck.
>With only two exceptions, any new mechs added to the game were just old mechs painted different colors and given different weapons. There's even like 5 different versions of fucking Temjin, who's basically the shoto character of Virtual On.
>One of those two is literally just a samurai with a skull face (Kagekiyo), and his moveset isn't unique or interesting at all. He's basically just a variant of Specineff.
>The other is the midboss from the first game (Jaguarandi) retconned into a pedobait mecha (Guarayakha) that turns into its normal self as a special ability, when said boss was already just a bigger, super-powerful version of an already-playable mech (Raiden).
>Raiden himself was slowed down so much that he's borderline unplayable, even given that the whole game was slowed down anyway.
>hey guys, you can make Fei-Yen's tits bigger if you buy our DLC lol

>Super Smash Bros. does a better job of representing the Fire Emblem series than Fire Emblem Warriors
how

>fucking Weiss over anyone else

FE is dead

Only Waifu Emblem exists now

To add onto this, for all the things Mario Tennis Ultra Smash did wrong it did add one of the Sprixies as a playable character. That's another good lightweight option for a female character. It could even give you the option to use all seven of them like the Yoshi and Shy Guy colors.

I'm kinda sad they cut Luma though, especially now that Rosalina is playable.

Put Tanooki/Metal/Gold as Mario alts
Put Cat/PinkGold as Peach alts
Add Paratroopa as Koopa alt
Put Koopa kids as Bower.Jr alts
Put DryBowser as Bowser alt
Add Pitty Pirannha
Add Diddy Kong
Add Funky Kong
Put Non-Mario chars in an "Extra" tab
Make most characters unlockables :
The base rooster should be Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Koopa, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Bowser
There, the roster is fixed

Tecmo Koei worked with what they had, but I can't imagine anyone really giving a shit about 80% of this game's roster.

>No Eltnum
>No Labrys
>No Mitsuru
>No HAKUMEN!

Just no

I want the two men on the far right to hump me senseless.

Not even a K.Rool fag but they could pick anyone and they would play great. Dixie could be a mix of Diddy and Donkey Kong. Cranky or Funky would be awesome too.

>was going to be in Mario Kart 64
>was replaced with Donkey Kong
>has never been considered for the roster again

For fuck's sake, Nintendo, let Kamek have a day in the driver's seat.

The rule for Fire Emblem representation should be Marth, the current avatar/lord and that's it.

Better game
Worse roster

If you missed the shitstorm, it's already been announced that there are 20 DLC characters planned.

>has never been considered for the roster again
user, I...
tcrf.net/Mario_Kart_8#Object_Textures

You all know who you want.

I'M LEO LUSTER! POW!
Why did this shitshow have such great music? Did they just blow all their budget on it?

>Would just be a Diddy clone.

Yeah if you have no imagination. Dixie is pretty different from Diddy in their own games.

>tcrf.net/Mario_Kart_8#Object_Textures

To stay consistent with the games. Think about it. Both have fantastic music.

>Yeah if you have no imagination.
If I'm Hackurai yes

Don't question why it did and just embrace it.
Donkey Kong will soothe you to sleep with his Broadway-tier vocals.

So you don't remember launch Hyrule warriors?

Be honest with yourself. This was a pretty shit roster.

>20 DLC characters

The game is literally a mugen mash up, ArcSys can fuck off with that, this is somehow worse than the Street Fighter X Tekken dlc bullshit a few years ago

It"s easy mode, but it also looks fun as hell. Just do time trials with Funky. Would be a blast.

They should just scrap the sega part and go full sonic + some guests
