So what?
Doesn't mean that Smash discussion should die. Hell, when Brawl's roster got leaked I was already speculating on Smash For's roster, and the same with the next one.

If people are loud enough, we'll likely see pic related.

Fuck that shit. We're losing great characters to FotM faggots like Corrin and Shulk and blatant adverts and favors like Cloud and Bayonetta.

Inklings, definitely. No way Nintendo EAD's newest and successful IP won't be majorly represented in Smash at some point.

Everyone else, who knows. What's important to note that when looking at the first party newcomers in Smash 4, the only ones that could of possibly been in Brawl were Villager and Duck Hunt.

Greninja, Dark Pit, Rosalina & Luma, Wii Fit Trainer, Lucina, Corrin, Robin and Shulk didn't exist during Brawl's planning period in 2005 so there's no way they could of been in. Palutena, Little Mac and Bowser Jr. did exist before then, but it was really only because of the successes of Punch-Out!! Wii, Kid Icarus Uprising and the New Super Mario Bros. games that they got in, all three post Brawl games.

So really, the newcomers of Smash 4 basically depend on what Nintendo's going to do in the future. Obviously Gamefreak and Intelligent Systems will produce more Pokemon and Fire Emblem games with new mascots and protagonists to include in the next Smash game. Maybe Nintendo will revive Mysterious Murasame Castle and promote Takamaru from assist trophy into a playable character much like Little Mac. Perhaps Retro Studios will produce another DKC game with K. Rool as the main villain, blasting him back into relevance and in the spotlight. We'll just have to wait and see.
>>
>>324158931
This.

Smash used to be a gathering of Nintendo icons and history. That was the appeal. Now it's just used as an advertising tool to shill the most recently dropped diarreah. As if Nintendo is taking example from Playstation All-Star's footsteps.
>>
>>324157927
Inklings are almost a guarentee.

Any unique characters from sm4sh are probally going to return aswell

Do you think Sakurai will come back? He's said developing Smash games kill him, and this time he was actually injured for it. If he doesn't, how will it affect the roster?
>>
>>324157642
King K. Rool will only have a chance if he returns in the next DKC game.
>>
>>324159918
The only characters that kinda do advertise new games are some of the Fire Emblem characters (particularly Roy in Melee and Corrin).

Otherwise I think greatly aggregate the whole "Smash is just for promotion!" thing. What exactly are characters like Little Mac, Palutena and even Robin advertising, exactly? PO!! Wii, KIU and FEA all came out years before Smash 4 arrived in late 2014.
>>
>>324159970
No Sakurai means less undeserved FE and KI favortism. Even if a new guy would be a shit that's biased towards something else I'll gladly take it.
>>
>>324155741
I think Bayonetta is a lock considering she won the damn Ballot and Nintendo has good relations with Platinum and Sega.

OH SHIT /V/ YOU JUST GOT PUT IN CHARGE OF SMASH 5S DEVELOPMENT.

BUT FIRST YOU MUST ANSWER ONE SIMPLE QUESTION

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WITH GANONDORF

>Keep Him the Same
>Make him use alot of Magic Attacks from throughout the series, large inspiration from OoT
>One Sword Ganon, Largely based on Twilight Princess
>Two Sword CUHRAZY Ganon from Wind Waker/Hyrule Warriors
>Fuck Ganondorf, Put in Ganon instead
>>
>>324159970

Well, he is the problem itself with why Smash is now pure garbage so him leaving would be good.

He even managed to approve the items in Smash 4, which are absolute no-fun garbage despite him loving casual play. Not to mention:

>Hurrr durr no cutscenes because people will just watch them on youtube duuurrrrrr

Lazy asshole.

>>324158931
Shulk is fine, he represents a new franchise. Corrin is glaring.

I might get flak on this, but i'd give him a one sword moveset with some magic, then transplant his current moveset onto either Black Shadow or Hades.

>>324160861
He was also the main character of his game, that didn't have any prior reps.
>>
>>324160194
Wasn't Corrin added because the dev team urged Sakurai that he'd be a unique addition?

Saying that no Sakurai means less FE doesn't make sense then when the next director would probably listen to the Japanese audience more and pander to them and forget the western audience.
>>
>>324160472
Rework him like they did Bowser but keep him mostly the same
>>
Inkling
Ice Climbers
Isabelle
Maybe Elma?

Those are the only characters I would consider are locked in

As far as Smash 4 I was pretty sure Palutena, Pac-Man and Mewtwo were locked in. I suppose I was half right on that last one.
>>
>>324155741
There wont be a smash 5. Just a melee HD and a remake of smash 4 for the NX.
>>
Inkling is locked in, will probably be the first Newcomer revealed. I think most of 4's roster is going to return, barring Lucina, Doc Mario, and Dark Pit. The 3rd Parties are give or take, I can see Mega Man, Pac, Sonic returning, but Ryu and Cloud are more difficult to pin, they may not be in the vanilla roster. Bayo I think could be, Nintendo has a solid enough relationship with Platinum and Sega that I can see her coming back in the starting roster.

The rest of 4's roster I think is pretty set to return.

We won't know until years of Nintendo pass for their to be enough changes

If you asked this question a year after Brawl, you still wouldn't get the right answer

Punch Out Wii made Little Mac Relevant in 2009

Kid Icarus Uprising in 2012 retooled Pit as wel as giving Relevancy to Palutena and Dark Pit

The NSMB series as well as other spin offs like Sticker Star and Dream Team and Party 9 etc gave Jr the moveset of being in his Clown car

Awakening in 2012 gave relevancy to Lucina and Robin

Xenoblade Chronocles etc etc

You get what I'm saying?

It's literally impossible to predict Smash 5's roster when modern newer games change something or make a new IP that becomes at the time to be included

The closet we have as a sure fire prediction that can still go both ways, is Splatoon succeeding in being popular to an extent
>>
>>324162476
Sakurai said he really wanted to put Takamaru put in the game, but he made him an assist trophy because he felt literally no one would know who he was.

hopefully they're not afraid to make a few deep cuts into certain franchises if the (niche) character's could potentially lend some cool gameplay catches. people guess Sakurai's logic up and down but he's made it directly clear he's picking newcomers with current relevance from still-continuous franchises, with exceptions made for major titles for their time (ie Duck Hunt, 40 mil+ sold title synonymous with the NES)

I remember in a presentation not too long ago, Inklings were featured alongside really popular Nintendo IPs

It seems like Nintendo really wants to ride the Splatoon train, and it makes a lot of sense

>>324163876
To be honest I really don't see a reason to stop other than screen space. There are lots of games with huge rosters moving into their 100's. Smash could def be one of those games.

Don't encourage "loud" to get what you want. Being "loud" is why Ridley and K. Rool got shit on so much. A loud minority isn't going to get what they want anyways. You're only encouraging people to get fed up with you and not support your decision.
>>
>>324164542
Moba's like Dota and LoL, Skylanders, Disney Infinity and Mario Maker technically.
>>
>>324159738
Inklings are likely, I just think the reason why they weren't FULLY playable in 4 is probably due to their ink mechanic has to be done from the ground up in the game's engine rather than just being supplementary to it.

I think we might see one other Punch-Out!! boxer and even if we don't it's not gonna be worth making 800 angry posts about why Sakurai is a cheat and jew for not including him. Sandman in Smash 5 would be fucking sweet, though

I think Nintendo giving a nod to their obscure past feels like the right thing to do. Ice Climber, Pit, Rob and Duck Hunt were kind of the right thing to do in their respective Smash games.

They should retire Kanto Pokemon Stadium and replace it with the Pokemon World Tournament. There's nothing wrong with recycling stages from past games, but if there's not noticeable touch-ups to them, why even bother?

I think fans should have input on content OTHER THAN CHARACTERS. Brawl seemed to have that, I think. It would have been nice if certain tracks were represented like Pro Wrestling getting a track in WVBA ring or Wrecking Crew '98's theme being remastered.

Pilotwings 64 needs a nod too, fuck that Mii shit.

Bayofags are truly insufferable and are the worst part of the character getting in.
All you faggots do when someone points out Sakurai's bias and favoritism or point out that Bayonetta is wayyyyyyy too far in development to have been the ballot winner is say "R U LE SALTY?????? XD"
Please go back to reddit. Jack Cayman would have been a better Platinum rep anyways.
>>
ssb should come out every year

that would be dope shit
>>
Also, it would be interesting if there were trophy, Pokeball and assist trophy suggestions.

The latter having a requirement of describing how they would work. Does no good to just namedrop a character just because. Like imagine a Bald Bull Assist trophy or summoning a Braviary that uses Sky Drop on a random opponent.

I'd remove custom movesets and implement "alters" for characters and these would have said custom moves. Ganondorf would remain the same to please those already accustomed to his moveset. His alter would be Demise and I'd give him sword bullshit and magic.

>>324168041
In 15 years, you'll be bitching about the same thing for Smash 6 and still get your bara bear and farty bird BTFO while Jibanyan is the new 3rd party rep.

This is sort of an embarrassing question since I've been playing since 64, but I've only just started playing more "seriously". I found Yoshi to be my main for Smash 4, sucking the least with him. But the stupid question is, when the hell am I supposed to use egg lay anyway? I have to come to a complete stop to use it, and it doesn't seem to last long enough to really deal out damage. I would have been better off just using an attack, no? And I don't think you can smash anyone off the stage while they're in the egg.

>>324163940
Pretty sure Sakurai only removed transforming because of the 3DS's memory limitations.

Paper Mario has pretty good odds. Even better if another game comes out before Smash 5

Sakurai added a stage for him, so it's obvious he sees worth in the series, and he's pretty much the only way to represent the Mario's RPG library

Inklings are in no doubt. Nintendo first party franchises are like ALWAYS added

Uhh I guess that Waddle Dee from Kirby could have a chance. I only recently played a few of the recent Kirby games and holy fuck that little dude is in EVERYTHING. If HAL keeps using him I think he's a safe bet.
>>
>>324160808

Dorf retains about 80% of his move set but gains a sword
It stays in its hip sheath until needed, maybe along the small of his back like the taunt shows

Changes to A Attacks
A two hit swing on standard a
Up tilt works similar to current one but starts with the sword over his head and slams down, like an automated Roy standard b
other tilts remain identical
Smashes stay the same

New standard air, strong horizontal swing in front. Hits one side like Greninja's front air. Other aerials stay.

Standard B is like the stab alt
Side b works similar but it's an impaling stab with a shock attack, still dashes and launches them down after
Other B's remain

Attacks with sword grant moderate armor, like how Bowser doesn't flinch to certain attacks. Since smashes remain unchanged, this shouldn't be broken

The complaints about clones and the complaints of the same character with completely different moves are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Not liking someone because they are "technically Mario" is not remotely close to not liking someone because their moves are redundant as fuck.

I don't think I've ever stopped to worry about how much shitters would cry. Well, not as a negative. It's more like a cherry on top. How many times did Sakurai stop what he was doing because he was worried about the loud minority? Judging by the final product, not a lot. There are going to be angry babies no matter what he does, anyways.

Since Nintendo and Sega are all buddy-buddy, Bayonetta probably stands a good chance of being in Smash 5.
>>
>>324177478
The Baby Mario example is pretty weak though. Smash requires a bit more than just copypasting existing characters' stat balances and giving them a few animations.

Smash is a commitment for adding a distinct character. Which I don't doubt Paper Mario is, but at the same time it's not something you can fully call a newcomer since it's just Mario under another shell and developing + fine tuning a Smash character isn't exactly a quick-and-painless process.

The only thing I ever use the super armor for is D-tilt F-smash / D-tilt U-smash so braindead Mario or Yoshi can't n-air out of the combos.

Sakurai has wasted plenty of time on characters that aren't a clean enough break from their partner.

Pit + Dark Pit
Mario + Doctor Mario
Marth + Lucina

Your thoughts on an extra version of a character not being worth the effort holds water and I could see it being an obstacle for other dev teams, but it's not an issue with Smash.

Because he's got Mario's name and clothes? The fuck?

The roster for smash 4 was finalized in 2012.

>>324160472
I make so at the character select screen you can select a moveset for him. I would feel bad completely removing his current moveset as some people like it but he deserves a new one. I think some other characters deserve new movesets as well, I think samus and kirby deserve new ones, but completely removing any moveset is dumb. If they provided alternate movesets for characters that would satisfy everyone.

Doom had an exclusively N64 title. That just seems weird now that I've thought about that. Why N64 when PS1 existed? PS1 seems like it would've had more of an audience for Doom.

>>324181829
Good idea, terrible execution.

Having everything be strictly locked to specific classes was the thing that truly killed it for me. They should have just gone crazy, adding a wide variety of specials borrowed from tons of fighters on the roster and let you mix and match whatever moves you want with any normals you want and not have everything just be stuck to "generic sword guy" or "generic fist guy". Even the costumes get locked to that shit.

I liked Mii fighters since it was the closest thing we could get to a create a character mode anyway.

Also most of the customization items sucked.

>Given that there were already plenty of non-Smash amiibos
Only Nintendo owned characters. But granted it wasn't Smash themed.
>Yacht Club themselves said from the start that it meant nothing
Let's consider if he HAD been planned for Smash, they'd still have had to hold their tongues. Saying it "means nothing" could easily be interpreted as guarding their asses and not breaking NDA. Even them "begging" doesn't mean they didn't get considered for the game as cross promotion and support for the amiibo trend. None of this deconfirms him, just decreases the likelihood at most.
>>
>>324185183
Deconfirmed, no. But given he's a tiny as fuck, western only indie character that hasn't even hit a million sales and wasn't even around for a full year before the DLC started? He never had much of a chance, and certainly was never a "sure thing".

I really don't think there's as much of a difference between Undertale and Shovel Knight as many like to think. One's appeared on Nintendo platforms and the other hasn't, that's about it.
>>
>>324185684
>One's appeared on Nintendo platforms and the other hasn't, that's about it.
That was enough to get people to completely laugh off Meat Boy as a suggestion. I'd say that's a pretty major distinction actually.

Also, Undertale is just plain done and over. Meanwhile Shovel Knight has 2+ expansions coming and have expressed a desire to make a franchise out of it. Granted more time and sequels need to happen before Shovel Knight even gets considered though.
>>
>>324186025
Shovel Knight's already waned in popularity pretty hard, man. Call me when they do make a franchise of it, because that's the only really test of whether or not it has staying power.

Ultimately most of this third party stuff is seemingly decided by popularity and connections. This puts any indie at an automatic disadvantage unless they're Minecraft or something.

I'm just sayin', I see far more people still prattling on about Undertale than I do about Shovel Knight. I guess that's anecdotal evidence, admittedly.

In all honesty, I feel the characters we have in the roster right now are perfectly fine. Only thing we need is the return of Ice climbers and Wolf. Of course other classic Nintendo reps from retro to new.

Inkling is a given at this point, and Elma popping in too to represent Xenoblade X could just a few examples of what I mean. Then just work of refining what they have and giving us more modes and content (and for the love of god bring back some form of adventure mode and TRUE classic)

As for third parties. Square, Capcom, and Sega are all in some way connected to Nintendo history (especially in the 16 bit era). Rather then trying to get the rights to someone new from a fourth company I rather they expand on what they have. Those three are perfect. Hell, just add +1 to each third party rep.

For example:
>Chun-li with Ryu
>Protoman, Zero, X, or Bass with Mega Man
>Tifa, Sephiroth , or Terra with Cloud
>Rodin, Lumen sage, or Jeane with Bayo
>Tails, Knuckles, or Shadow with Sonic
>Ms.Pacman skin for Pacman

Or toss a MH rep, RE rep, or even Viewtiful joe considering capcom is in the mix now. I'd love to see Wonder Red vs Joe if it ever happens.

I also like having the idea of a Horror game rep from Nintendo to show up too; either Fatal frame or Eternal Darkness.

The DKC games with K Tool have outsold every series on that list combined, minus Mario and pokemon. DKC is one of the best selling Nintendo series of all time, so saying he's a literal who is purely ignorant.

If he came in the top on poll, and gets added in DKCR3, then I'd say he's a pretty likely lock.

Foolish not to include them. Guaranteed additions
>K. Rool or Ridley
After the amount of fan bullshit, they're going to happen. I don't care how delusional you say I am here. One of these two is getting in.
>Takamaru
There's been enough talk about him from Sakurai, all the way back to Melee. He's getting the Mac treatment for sure.

Pretty Confident Additions:
>Linkle or Lana
Hyrule Warriors was and is stupidly popular. Just do the math. We'll get our new Zelda character, finally, and it will be one of these two.
>Rhythm Heaven Rep
Been talked about enough. I think we'll get something.

Hyrule Warriors is a spinoff that wasn't even published by Nintendo in Japan. For all intents and purposes it's a third party game that licenses Nintendo characters. There's no way its OCs will ever be in Smash as playable characters.

Dixie was planned as a partner for Diddy in Brawl as a means to emulate the tag-team gameplay of the DKC games, it just never fell through due to technical issues.

I get the feeling Sakurai didn't think Dixie would be that interesting enough on her own to warrant an inclusion.

Dixie probably isn't in because she'd be a clone.

I'm assuming Dixie was left out mainly because she wasn't very relevant at the time the roster was being decided. They were mainly focusing on DKCR since it was a huge title for Nintendo and TF was still a ways off. If Dixie were in DKCR or TF came out a year earlier than maybe things would have played out differently.

That's just speculation on my part, though.

No it doesn't, you dumb fucking nigger. Sakurai specifically said relizable AND negotiable.

Negotiable is where characters like Goku and Snake fall. Characters they legally aren't able to use or get the rights to.

Realizable is so they could safely ignore characters like Dante. Anyone that placed higher than Bayo and are able to be used, yet Sakurai did not personally want to work on.

Problem is that they're not revealing the full results so we'll never know for sure. I understand the move though since it could potentially spoil things they plan to do in the future or just piss off people who voted for something stupid like Sora.

It's just too touchy of a subject and some people are going to get mad no matter what they do with this thing.

>>324192962
How many Mach Rider stuff made it into Brawl and Smash 4?

...oh, right.

I would LOVE both to make it, but from a standpoint of "what kind of shit would sell copies of my game?!", Takamaru makes a lot more sense. Think about how much they changed Pit to cater to weeaboos and normies. Takamaru fits that bill way better than Mach Rider. They could easily spin that character into a Samurai Champloo/Ruruoni Kenshin type motif and it would pull in edgy teens by the truckload.

Do I want that? No, not really. I actually liked the original Nazo game, just like I enjoyed the NES Kid Icarus and wanted Pit for years. But I know that is what they're going to do -- bastardize Takamaru -- just like they did Pit. But at least it makes sense and it's as good a reason as any to get the character into the game.

The only way Mach Rider would "make sense" from a marketing standpoint (which is all Smash is now) is if they actually made the Fallout-style Mach Rider sequel everybody keeps crossing their fingers for and dreaming about. Until then, Mach Rider would just be "another Falcon" to normies.

>"He also told IGN, when speaking about her potential apperance in future games, “I’m sure we will keep her in mind when thinking about future titles.”

Aunoma likes the idea of Linkle and isn't opposed to keeping her around. Even if HW has 3rd party characters, it won't stop Nintendo. They are a different beast these days. Who ever thought we'd see Mega Man and Sonic in a mainline Mario game (Mario Maker).
>>

That's pretty contestable, considering it's a "Build your own Mario game" game. That's almost like considering Mario Paint a "mainline" Mario game.

All of you are niggers

There is no "lock" and your favorites can easily be cucked, inklings just need a bit of support down the line though, but i'll give you some examples.

>If DK's new game does NOT have King K Rool in it, he will be fucked

>If Ridley does NOT have a better appearance than his other M format, or doesn't appear in a new game at all, he will be fucked

>If krystal appears in a new starfox game before smash is made, wolf will get fucked

The key here is having a new game at the RIGHT time of development, that will definitely get sakurai's attention, then he looks into popularity and issues like that. Smash is now some kind of odd marketing game (even though it always was) now its just super heavy.


Also betting this will be the last one before a reboot. 64 character or so, 7 DLC, a bit of deep cuts, sorry but that's how fighting games are if you scrubs ever bothered to follow at least one other than this one.


One last thing because you guys trigger me, if the character you want hasn't had a new game in years, and sakurai isn't keen on him/her, that character is DEAD. (also indies never ever you dumbasses)
>>
Inkling Boy/Girl for sure.
I'd like to see actual costumes instead of color swaps as a feature too.
>>
>>324198249
Yeah, it probably did. Which sucks, because that just shows that Sakurai is simply unwilling to add him.

I really wish characters with alt costumes or characters could have 16 alts like Little Mac. I know it's because they were easier to make but it's just unfortunate that you can have 8 Wireframe Macs out at once while you can only have four Alphs and four Male Wii Fit Trainers, just to name a few.

Miis, Villager and Pacman were all considered for Brawl.

Meta Knight, Wario, Lucas and assist trophies were considered for Melee.

Bowser, Dedede, Marth and final smashes were considered for the original game.

http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/04/13/the-definitive-unused-fighters-list-in-smash/

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the considered fighters for 4, like Takamaru, actually do become playable in Smash 5.

tfw in 6 more years, Sakurai still won't be able to figure out how to make Ridley work or give Ganondorf a proper moveset
>>
>>324202837
K Rool fans don't care one bit about king of swing. The thing that separates K Rools relevancy from someone like Isaac, is that he's from an active series that is far from dead. All it will take is a new min title to include him, and it will remove all relavncy boundaries from him.

Ganondorf main/ Massive Zeldafag here

The best move is a compromise. At this point, Dorf has had 14 years of being Heavy Falcon.

Making a real Ganon, with trident and magic projectiles is the best way to go.

Magic inspiration OoT is also cool with me. Ganon/dorf was always a sorcerer first and foremost. This obsession with swords just seems dumb to me. Even in TP & WW, he still uses magic attacks, just in different forms.
>>
>>324203279
Unique Ganondorf is a fight worth giving up at this point. Sakurai doesn't do complete overhauls. The changes for him between Melee and Brawl are probably as big as it's going to get. He doesn't want to disappoint people who are used to it by now.

But the thing with Pokemon is that they don't need to replace already known characters yearly. Some of them just stand out among the crowd or are instantly liked, kinda how you wouldn't replace Pikachu or Charizard.

Greninja has been the first pokemon since Charizard itself to be instantly hailed by most as best of the Gen, even before it appeared in the Anime or Smash, even without being lore-important or appearing in the box cover and even without getting movies or anything to promote it.

In these cases (like Charizard) you just ride upon an established and most likely autistic fanbase that won't waver so easily. I sincerely doubt they'll try to make another FOTW pokemon, considering that this type of recognition is remarkably rare. And it becomes even less likely when you see that Greninja has had lots of staying power. They might add another Pokemon, but they won't remove Greninja. Just like they shouldn't have removed Mewtwo in the first place.
