Let's be realistic boys, if it's a port or a new game the quality would lie in redoing character movesets and trimming ALLLLL the fat Smash 4 had.

Also I'm not against getting rid of bayo but Nintendo shills Bayo hard, she aint going anywhere

>cutting Duck Hunt, Wii Fit and Shulk

faggot

Sir, I respect your opinion, but highly disagree.

>King K. Rool

>give Mario Cappy
Oh God they're gonna do this, aren't they?

Toad's gay as fuck but nintendo would do gay shit like that to shill
Wii Fit is obsolete "WII" fit, bye
Duck hunt, maybe he can stay
Crash is a game icon, might be gay, but general populous would be hyped

Possibly as a method of recovery for him.

>Minimal
>49

Nigga...

Give me a tight 20 character roster with proper balancing. They'll be going for the FGC fags anyway.

kek.

everytime I see that fat lizard faggot on a fanmade roster my blood begins to boil.

MOVE ON YOU OBSESSED FAGGOTS. YOU'RE WORSE THAN THE RIDLEY FAGS. AT LEAST THEY'RE ENTERTAINING.

it's more minimal than adding on more to 58 goddamn characters

>They'll be going for the FGC fags anyway.

Of all the posts I've read about Smash 5. This has to be the one that makes the least amount of sense.

>he genuinely thinks Rex won't be Smash 5

D E L U S I O N A L

>cutting Ike for a Marth clone

you're stupid

i don't, i didn't put him in you reeree

>cut
Bowser Junior, Robin, Greninja, Wii Fit, Dark Pit, Cloud, Lucina, Ryu, Miis, Shulk, Duck Hunt, Charizard, Lucario, Mac, Corrin
>add
Inklings (obviously confirmed) and Spring Man/Ribbon Girl (as one character, different skins)
We could really do better with a smaller roster size, no 3rd party BS characters like Goku to just slow actual game development down.

>cut clones
>Ganon and Falcon are still there

Reminder that every body like moron was worry-posting about Sm4sh’s roster and we ended up getting 49 characters at Fucking launch

Don't cut my husband Toon Link

>>cut Wii Fit and Shulk because irrelevant
>>add K Rool

Smash 5 is gonna be around that number too probably. They'll cut about as many as they add to keep it from being too ridiculous.

This game'll probably have an emphasis on retooling movesets to match games more and to allow for more options.

SORA

you need all the previous fire emblem characters.
Including the new ones coming from the new game coming out this year.

>cut all these character because I personally dont like it and the developers should only attempt to please me

Go to bed Tetra, Link's waiting there

>cut Charizard
Pathetic faggot

Did you miss the Switch reveal bud

>5mash has a lower initial roster but has free dlc every month or so to compensate
y/n?

Rosa was only included because her gimmick is near-identical to Ice Climbers' gimmick and the 3DS couldn't handle Ice Climbers

Did you miss anything ever having to do with Smash

>"mommy wook da big bad dwagon I wanna be him!"
Ufufu, you're so cute, user-chan

> ppl would actually wanting a retarded mess roster of this size

>Projecting
Pathetic faggot

>cut wii fit and shulk for irrelevancy
>keep robin
>add K. Rool

at least follow your own rules

>cut
>little mac
why

luma realistically has like 3 bones, ice climbers is 2 fully rigged character models.

Quality over quantity, and while it's cool to have him I'd prefer they keep roster size to a minimum

>Cut Shulk
>Keep Robin and fucking Corrin
???

>Another Smash game, another bunch of nuts wanting to cut characters for arbitrary reasons.

Oh how I missed this.

Add King K Tool

Nah there is already enough trash as is

I thought he was one of the most unique/quality newcomers in 4 though with his playstyle and what not. Plus Punch-Out!! has too much brand recognition/popularity with normies to justify Mac getting cut, he got his own commercial for a reason.

The FGC that kept Smash WiiU alive...?

>> Retool Ganon to not be a fucking clone
>has this moveset since fucking ever
>rework him

>cutting charizard.
>ever

You are all massive homosexuals.

I use to though that the Riddley beggars were the worst, boy how wrong was I.

>cutting characters
>ever
why?

>Ganon has had a unique moveset since Brawl yet people STILL call him a clone
Can this meme and this thread fucking die?

>another few years of smash bros speculation and shitposting flooding Sup Forums

i missed it too. truly the best time to be on Sup Forums

Cloud definitely wont be in the next game. Bayonetta and possibly another bayonetta character definitely have the chances though.

do people actually wants trash rosters that are this huge?

I don't care at all because all my mains are confirmed.

>Cut
The Three obvious clones
The Mii's
Duck Hunt

>FENCE
Roy
Mewtwo
Lucas
Ryu
Cloud

>REPLACE
Greninja with Pokemon SM rep
Shulk fwith Xeno 2 Rep
Robin and Corrin with FE switch Rep(maybe Celica from Echoes too)

>ADD
Inkling
Arms


after that who fucking knows The game will definitely not have a starting roster of less than 50, also expect planned DLC of AT LEAST 6 characters, maybe as many as 10/12

by the end of 5mash's life we will have a near complete roster of all previous playable characters plus all the newcomers.

>bomberman over rayman
i shiggy diggy

Yeah? I want everyone to be happy and have their favorites instead of removing all the characters I never use/hate.

This is one of the worst rosters I've seen outside of blatant-joke ones.
>Cutting Dr Mario when he's the only decent clone
>Cutting Rosalina and Bowser Jr. for no other reason than "I don't personally like them"
>Not cutting Roy when he's just a downgrade to Marth
>Cutting G&W for literally no fucking reason even though he's been in since Melee (Duck Hunt is just obnoxious, I dont mind him being cut)
>Cutting ROB, again, for no fucking reason (Not being relevant is not a valid reason, half of the roster is irrelevant characters grandfathered in)
>Adding K Rool when he hasn't been in a game in ages (at least adding Ridley would get hyped up because of memes; if they're gonna add one massive final-boss character it'd be Ridley, not K Rool)

these roster threads never fail to make me laugh.
just another wave of pure autism again.

>>Cut
The Three obvious clones
The Mii's
Duck Hunt
>the three who required no work
>the same reason Melee's roster was a big as it was

The game is low tier competitive. Having a huge roster won't change anything. The game has basic movesets for each and adding more doesn't mean the basic gameplay is going to be changed.

>rex
No just no.
He is godawful character, on top of being moeblob bitchboy he has retarded as fuck outfit

Every retro character and others who are important to Nintendo history should stay. Every character who was in the first game and Melee should come back. Clones should be alt costumes. Flavor of the month characters who are only in to promote their series should leave especially if their games aren't relevant anymore.

There, perfect start for a Smash Bros. roster.

Just like Shulk.

>adds masterchief

Ice Climbers were a duo character, Rosalina is a puppeteer character. They really aren't that similar.

Walking it back 5 minutes after you were done making the image doesn't change the fact that for even one second you thought it was acceptable to keep a clone of Marth and a nobody in his own series and cut Ike.

Why even cut characters...

>cut all the characters that represent the Wii era

Nope. Rosalina, Wii Fit and Shulk are all staying

just because you don't like him specifically doesn't mean he won't get added, because guess what

Rex is gonna be in the game whether you like it or not

add halo, goku, naruto and mr. incredible

Because the roster is too big, they're taking up slots, I hate clones, i just hate the characters, because I wanna, I want to replace them with someone who's more deserving(my favorite)

Keep all clones and variations but make them become outfits you unlock through story/online. That way it cuts down character selection without actually doing so. Though important characters need their own play style like ganon

>GOLD.png

NO ONE is worse than Ridleyfags user.

>cutting unique movesets
>cutting Dr. Mario
>replacing Robin/Shulk/Greninja for no reason when we've already seen that there's no such thing as replacing unique characters in Smash
>putting in ARMS characters ever
I'm glad Samurai has more common sense than your average Sup Forumseddit brainlet

Spring Man is going to be in the game whether you like it or not, sorry.

>putting in ARMS characters ever

You do realize this is the only thing from your post that's guaranteed to happen right?

It depends on how the game is developed, which we don't know yet. Depending on how many changes are made to the core gameplay, it's less that the character is being cut and more that they aren't returning, if that makes sense. If a lot of the game has to be built from scratch, then implementing somebody like Wii Fit Trainer is time and effort that could be spent on something else.

If it's built on top of the previous game, there's pretty much no reason to remove anybody. It would sure be nice to have a lot of the clones moved to alt costumes so people stop complaining about them, though.

I don't care what the roster looks like as long as they cut/stop adding all the anime swordsmen. Shit's getting ridiculous.

>not putting in Arms characters
Nintendo only major new ip in forever and you think it won't get in or didn't deserve to get in
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...

Realistically they're cutting the clones
>No dark pit
>No Lucina
>probably no Dr. Mario(shame, I actually liked him)
>HOPEFULLY no Rosalina but I'm not holding my breath

Honestly since I'm not a fucking faggot. I don't actually care too much about the roster. That isn't the meat and potatoes of smash bros. smash 64 is one of the best in the series and it only has like 12 characters. Focus on the global mechanics first and you can make a good smash game.

ACTUALLY I wouldn't mind a 64 physics smash game at all legit.
>remove air dodging
>more shield stun
>none of this faggy ledge trump shit making recoveries meaningful


Fucking sign me up niggy

It’s people like you that make me so fucking happy that Sakurai loves Xenoblade 2

>The roster is too big
According to who? Dipshits who can't remember what each character does?
>They're taking up slots
You say this like they have a specific, set number of slots they can fill. Clones don't take up space; most of the time they're just randomly tossed in as an extra freebie, like Dark Pit. Granted, I think Dark Pit is fucking stupid as a character, but it's pretty fucking stupid to think that, if they didn't add Dark Pit, then they would've had his "slot" taken by a complete, 100% original character.

>guys they're totally cutting the clones this time like they did for brawl and smash 4
the only reason we didn't get doc and roy was because of subspace and sonic.

Wheres the grass pokemon ya cunt?

>that isn’t the meat and potatoes

But it kinda is. The majority of people don’t care about balancing and just want to chimp out over a character being revealed from a series they don’t actually care about.

Just to clarify:

Rex from Xenoblade 2 is guaranteed to be in.

Spring Man/Ribbon Girl from ARMS are guaranteed to be in.

There is nothing you can do about it. Just accept it.

>Calling Rosalina a clone
People who think Rosalina is somehow a "clone" of the Ice Climbers are actually retarded.

Does Sakurai really have as much as in what characters go in as people say? I've been wondering for a while, isn't it more likely that Nintendo just told him to add more Fire emblem characters than him putting in 5 on his own? I mean they probably want to advertise it as much as they can.

...

Ofcourse he does aside from some wonkiness with the pokemon company at times. Hell he said pacman wasn't getting in if he was forced to use his ugly modern design

>no rosalina
This is so stupid, she's not even a clone
and you are a fucking faggot if you think the most important things aren't the characters and movesets, the gameplay is already downpat.

I've already accepted Rex getting in. As long as Shulk is replaced by him I won't be too mad; swapping out a fucking retarded, obnoxious, bottom of the barrel character with the most gratingly obnoxious voice imaginable for another fucking retarded, obnoxious, bottom of the barrel character with the most gratingly obnoxious voice imaginable isn't really a loss, just an equivalent exchange.

and then you end up with vapid and empty trash that ends up irrelevant a few months later.
There's a reason why characters like Marth and Fox are so I C O N I C. Why people recognize them. Because they're *good*. They're unique and have a lot of exposure due to the depth surrounding them. All the melee characters do. It's what makes them memorable and not a fleeting sensation
I never called Rosalina a clone you imbecile. I just want her gone in general. She was an awful character.

You know, with how bad Smash threads usually are, I didn't even pick up on that being sarcasm. Fuck me.

she has their gimmick of being a dual-character + moves getting empowered when both of them are present along with being able to position the luma

>cut G&W
When do you plan on offing yourself? Because it's not soon enough.

I hope most characters get a moveset overhaul as drastic as Brawl did, but in a positive direction.

>I never called Rosalina a clone
You grouped her in with the other clones and mentioned her after saying "they're cutting clones".
>She was an awful character
Fully agree with you there. Hopefully they at least revamp her moveset to not be purely obnoxious.

>> cut Wii Fit and Shulk (irrelevant now, maybe Rex from XB2)
>add K. Rool who hasn't appeared since the turn of the decade

Smash 4 spoiled too many people. No one would be okay with a roster of 30-. In fact, most people expect at least 40 characters by default, and at least 60 characters with DLC because apparently everyone is totally cool with DLC nowadays.

Removing anime swordsmen alone would benefit the game's quality. A minimalist approach to it is the way to go, but not many people would accept that, not even within Nintendo itself.

Stop giving K. Rool fags a bad name. Your cuts are awful and you should feel bad.

>cutting Ike while keeping fucking Roy
