Smash Bros for Switch Roster Thread

Smash Bros is likely getting ported to Switch. If that's the case, it will have all the characters from the Wii U game, along with a few new ones (like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Pokken).

Post your rosters in this thread.

i'll take a new smash and wait 3-5 years over a lazy port any day

this

>that lineup
>not 90% JRPG shit 10% BING BING WAHOO

They'll add all the obvious characters plus some from the ballot so it'll get like 7 or 8 new additions from Wii U. Any more could be done as a free dlc model like Splatoon/Arms to help promote the online service

Fuck the ports.
It's been almost 4 years since this game launched. They should be announcing a new one soon already.

I'm honestly fine if they start the game as a port, by taking the engine and all the characters over, and then greatly expanding it and turning it into a proper sequel. Does anyone honestly care if they remake the wii u game from scratch, versus directly porting it and adding new content over a 2-3 dev cycle?

I want a new game from scratch. New engine, new innovations, not just a fucking update to Sm4sh

i feel bad for Smash 4 Wii U, it was realesed on a console that no one knew or wanted

all that hard work put in for nothing

Other possible additions are Sylux, Waluigi, Captain Toad, Paper Mario, Sora and Rayman

and of course Doomguy

>K. Roolfags still exist
>Shovel Knightfags still exist
Didn't you learn your lesson after the Bayonetta reveal?
Also
>Sora

could we stop shitting on the wii u please?the only reason it didn't sell well was because of the poor advertising(if any)

Nintendo owns 100% of the rights to Bayonetta 3 at this point, so shes virtually a 1st party character now. Also Sora is more likely than Cloud, and look what happened. K Rool is inevitable. Shovelknight never ever.

>a second xenoblade character
Why do you keep spamming this meme?

Xenoblade 2 sold over a million in one month

I want k-rool, only for it to make it so that they can remake DK64

Nah, I knew about it, but I didn't want to buy it because it had no games.

Why don't people want her in Smash?

>Major villain from a Nintendo series, one of the most infamously major support groups, and hasn't been outright told no unlike Ridley fans
>One of the biggest indies who has notable ties to Nintendo, the only case of a 3rd party amiibo to date
Honestly both camps have reasons to have hope. Because x character wasn't in a previous smash, doesn't mean they're impossible for the next.

>it took an entire month to just barely pass the million mark
Holy shit I didn't know it flopped that hard. A million doesnt justify 2 slots. Pikmin confirms this

Furfags get out.
Reeee.

Game sold very well, Sakurai is a big fan of the series, and Monolith Soft helped with the dev on the Smash games. Plus Rex + Pyra is a perfect character for smash and very unique.

He will happen.

Cuz she's shit.

In that case, I hope Sakurai dies and we never get another Smash.

Not an argument.

Sakurai might not have anything to do with Smash 5.

Hopefully.

after ryu and cloud there's no legitimate reason to say a character has no chance

Xenoblade 1 hasn't even sold a million copies yet and Shulk still made it in the game. Sakurai loves the game and is personal friends with the creators. The creators were even outsourced to work on Smash at certain points of the dev cycle, so in the end, sales don't matter, Sakurai does.

>one of the most polished smash games to date
>two beautiful zelda remasters
>an amazing mario kart game
>a pretty good pikmin 2 sequel
>the wonderful wonderful 101
>the best 2d-3d hybrid mario game


whatever you say buddy

FE:Awakening was considered a success that saved the series because it broke a million and that game alone got two slots.

>Character most associated with Adventure and Command
>Wasn't in Zero
>Only thing that's unique about her was her staff
>Wolf still hasn't come back

Donkey Kong sold at least 6 million
Metroid prime sold 3 million

Thats the sales you need for 2 slots

Here is your roster for the enhanced switch port of Smash 4, Take it or leave it.

>All characters from Smash 4 except Dr Mario, who is now an Alternate Costume of Mario.

>Xenoblade 1 hasn't even sold a million copies yet and Shulk still made it in the game.

Why are you acting like characters get in based on individual game sales? The overall sales of xenoblade series means that it does not justify 2 slots

>>a pretty good pikmin 2 sequel
"Pretty good" is pushing it.
It was an acceptable game at best, probably the minimum I'd expect out of a nintendo game.
I'm not even sure I'd say Dark Moon gets past that threshold.

He also said that with Melee, Brawl and 4. Hes a perfectionist, and a control freak. Those kind of people would rather be dead than let someone else ruin his "masterpiece" series.

with that many character i'ts better to just make a new one

Melee, Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D, Mario Kart Double Dash, and Super Paper Mario are on Wii U?

Don't know about that "pikmin 2 sequel" though. I know there was a horribly, shitty Pikmin game on Wii U that people liked less than Hey! Pikmin.

>FE:Awakening was considered a success that saved the series because it broke a million
It sold 2 million, and was specifically being forced by nintendo

You dont get special treatment simply for being weebtrash, idiot

I thought he hated smash now and wanted to stop after melee.

Then lets hope Nintendo doesn't let him come back.

Thanks to him 4 was the worst one yet.

>that people liked less than Hey! Pikmin.
Pik 3 wasn't good but though I've never actually played Hey! I would assume it's better than it.

Pikmin 3 was awesome

>gen 7 pokemon
zoroark 2.0

...

You get a Smash Port later this year with a couple newcomers, but the next Smash is 6 years away.

Or you dont get a port but a new Smash in 2-3 years.

Which do you choose?

It was just a shitpost. Really though, I was very interested in getting a Wii U for Smash 4 around the time Pac-Man was announced, but then I realized there was absolutely nothing else on the console that I wanted to play, so I held off.

It was much worse than both 1 and 2.
I wouldn't call it bad but I don't think I could call it good either.

i already own the wii u version so my choice is pretty obvious

It was just as good as the other two

If sales mattered there wouldnt be 6 FE characters and 3 Kid Icarus characters...both anime like series. Sakurai plays favorites, and Xenoblade is one of his favorites. Hell it even got a boss battle over most other series in Smash. Rex and Pyra are unique and will be made as thats part of Sakurai's criteria for a character. Corrin was on of the most unique characters in FE, and he didn't want to pass that up. Rex will be the same way for him.

And incase you didnt play or watch 2 minutes of Xenoblade, Rex is nothing like Shulk. Hed be closer to Pokemon Trainer than he would be to Shulk.

nathan drake, barney the dinosaur, batman, ronald reagan and the get a long gang all confirmed for smash guise

What makes you think sales are the reason for a character's inclusion rather than Sakurai's personal opinion or a unique moveset?

>The overall sales of xenoblade series means that it does not justify 2 slots
And one Fire Emblem game selling really well justifies getting more slots than fucking Zelda? Sales don't matter, you fucking moron, what matters is who the devs want in the game.

any good roster maker?

>still thinking the smash ballot was real

>What makes you think sales are the reason for a character's inclusion
Because that's the entire point of smash? To put popular characters together in one game.

This is why Mario and Pokemon have the most characters.

stop replying to blunderfag

has it been confirmed a hoax?

He plays favorites, but I'd rather take his selections instead of someone who'd flood the game with characters like Daisy, Dry Bones, Isabelle, Callie and Marie, etc.

Nintendo can't just throw anyone in there and needs to make sure the next director, isn't a Miyamoto.

No it wasn't, it was significantly worse.
Again, not really bad, but not good either.

Let's talk about general trends in Smash newcomers.
>New, major/popular IPs
Inklings, probably Springman.
>Token retro/hardware add on
Donbe&Hikari or Discun for the Famicon Disk System, for example.
>"We never would've expected it" 3rd party whose series has major ties to nintendo
Fuckin' Bomberman? I don't know what would even apply anymore.
>New Pokemon and Fire Emblem due to rotating cast
Depends on when Smash 5 comes out in relation to Gen 8 and FE16.
>A couple main series additions
Captain Toad? Bandana Dee? K.Rool? Wizpig Ganon? Rex as a half this half new IP, so to speak.
>Last minute clones
Dixie? Isabelle? Ribbon Girl?

>If sales mattered there wouldnt be 6 FE characters
You've been told why there are 6

>3 Kid Icarus characters
2 million sales and sakurai bias for his own games. Also one was a 2 second reskin clone.

>both anime like series
Irrelevant

>Sakurai plays favorites, and Xenoblade is one of his favorites
Nice bait

>Rex and Pyra are unique and will be made as thats part of Sakurai's criteria for a character.
Nope. The dual character gimmick is ice climbers. Blue shulk has nothing to make him unique, and he'll never appear in a game again so a smash slot is impossible.

>Corrin
An advertisement that caused backlash.

Mario and Pokemon have a lot of characters because there's no way Sakurai could get away with not doing it.

Other franchises get in depending on whether or not Sakurai likes them or not (look at KI and FE)

Bayonetta "won" despite not commonly requested or even being acknowledged as a possibility on any sites online

>jobfrog will most likely leave
>charizard more likely to stay

Melee had a ballot and pretty much every character added was from it. (Public now) And then Brawl had a ballot, and Sonic got in because of it.

Smash 4s ballot wasn't for Smash 4, but rather Smash 5.

>And one Fire Emblem game selling really well
2 games that sold 2 million, and again nintendo was forcing it for some reason

>Bayonetta "won" despite not commonly requested or even being acknowledged as a possibility on any sites online
there's many communities besides Sup Forums, reddit or smashboards friend

Nah it was just as good.

>Because that's the entire point of smash? To put popular characters together in one game.
That's why Roy was put in Melee before his game even came out, right? That's why Captain Falcon, a character who very few people even heard of, was in the first game, getting in before characters like Bowser, Peach, and Charizard, right?

Corrin was added before Fire Emblem Fates was released in the west.

>An advertisement that caused backlash.

This meme needs to stop. If you look at comments from pretty much any gaming news site or anywhere that has discussion of Smash, any video reactions, and even the like bar on the official reveal trailer, you'll find that the majority of people positively responded to Corrin.

Nintendo used their popular crossover game as an Advertisement

>That's why Captain Falcon, a character who very few people even heard of, was in the first game, getting in before characters like Bowser, Peach, and Charizard, right?

Sold over a million and was extremely relevant at the time. Also for a 12 character roster franchise diversity > popular support characters

As an advert. Whats your point? As I've said 50 times, Nintendo was FORCING FE stuff

Can you show some communities that did have her on top? Preferably those that come close to the size of what you just mentioned.

>rex
Fuck off

And what makes you think they won't do the same with Xenoblade?

Why would they? Are you seriously comparing them because they're both weebshit?

Lol

>Nope. The dual character gimmick is ice climbers. Blue shulk has nothing to make him unique, and he'll never appear in a game again so a smash slot is impossible.

Pyra wouldn't be a seperate AI character like Ice Climbers, but rather part of Rex's moveset. Similar to say how Duck Hunt. Pyra's attacks get stronger as Rex lands more successful moves, something we don't have in Smash at the moment. Rex and Pyra don't have a forsight like Shulk does, they don't change arts either, a huge part of Shulks moveset, and Rex also has a grapple gun.

Overall Rex would play nothing like Shulk.

>People seriously think they put characters in for advertising when literally the only series to get this was FE.

She's just boring

>Nintendo used their popular crossover game as an Advertisement
And you do realize they did the same thing with Xenoblade X, right? Aside from Sakurai liking it and being cool with the creator, Shulk was also put in to advertise for the 3DS port as well as X. Nintendo is clearly trying to push Xenoblade, so why wouldn't they add Rex?

Because Pikmin, ARMS, Splatoon, and literally every other successful Nintendo IP sell more then Xenoshit. Why would they force the one that floundered?

>Greninja is cut
Literally give any major reason.
The three cuts for Pokemon have been
>Literal joke character added to pad out the roster
>2/3rds of a real awkward character who were cut because transformations wouldn't work on 3DS, and kept the most popular part of it

Why would they not?

Looks like Smash threads are going to be his thing for the next few months.

>he'll never appear in a game again so a smash slot is impossible.
Xenoblade came out in 2010 and Shulk still made it into Smash in 2014, despite not reappearing in a game since.

Its now 2018, and we are either getting a port of Smash this year, or getting a proper sequel in the next 2-3 years. Rex is the perfect relevant character for this dev cycle to add in Smash.

Bomberman and K.Rool

the other guys Im different to.

Wolf and Ice Climbers should be in so people get their mains back.

>but rather part of Rex's moveset.
Wouldn't happen. Never has never will

Rex is blue shulk, and isn't a real character. He's made to be a bland one-off mc. That will never be worthy of smash

>And you do realize they did the same thing with Xenoblade X, right?
Nope. No xenoblade x characters in smash. Bait harder

>smash wishlist
>has indie characters

No one reply to this obvious bait after me.

Where does Mewtwo fall in, then?

People still replying to Blunderfag.

The most likely candidates for addiitonal characters:

Inkling
Spring Man
Rex, or some kind of Rex/Pyra duo.
Decidueye

Also even though his chances are slim I'd love to see King K Rool get added.

Shulk is the mascot.

You don't get a forced slot because you pull revolving door bullshit in your game. Rex will never get into smash

Isn't literally every character in every Smash game, except for Diddy, a Japanese-created character? Anyone expecting western characters, let alone indie characters, are setting themselves up for disappointment.

There doesn't have to be any characters from X, it's the same series. Shulk was to advertise for the 3DS port, which was to help advertise for X.

The only thing I want is a stage editor that doesn't suck ass and can make level, straight lines.

Yeah this is pretty much the gist of it. Why do people keep acting like FOTM anime shit could be added to smash?
