Megaman! With optional Zero skins! I hope they have the Zero skin from the GBA games, because that's my favourite.

[nshady]

Sonic. And Viewtiful Joe?

Sonic. And Viewtiful Joe?

NO U!

MEGAMAN!

Blue Bomber! =(

[JPW]

Capcom have so many they could offer. The thing is who would be better.

Megaman started on the NES, and is the most logical choice. But when was the last time he has actually been on a Nintendo console, besides those Battle Zero Networks that hardly ever sell.

I also feel Resident Evil could get the spot if Capcom were to help out. After all Capcom is remaking RE4, RE: UC for Wii, we have RE5 coming to Wii. And Leon could actually match up pretty well with Snake and Falcon. Then again Sakurai is always talking about how he would like more female characters in Smash Bros. So they could give us Jill or who's the girl in RE1 again?   

Still I think Namco or Hudson might eventually take the 3rd spot.
Pacman showed up in Super Mario Kart. Namco has also helped Nintendo out with its Starfox series lately. So Ninty might feel Namco deserves a bit more.
Hudson: Helped out on the last Smash Bros. didn't it, and Bomberman could be more interesting, and has sparked a lot of interest.

Then again i'm all for Megaman too, but I hope he's cooler then what he's become.
Sega's definitely got no.2 though. There's no way Sega could throw away a chance like this. Sonic just fits perfectly too I feel. And Sonic vs Mario.

[nshady]

Pacman would suck.

[WHONG]

shawn michaels and triple h could replace the ice climbers

[AusCube]

Hell, let's throw in batman for good measure

[WHONG]

he isn't even a nintendo character

[Ant292]

3rd party characters have some conditions in order to be put into the new game.

1. The character must have appeared on a Nintendo console. No exceptions.
2. Only 2-3 extra characters who aren't Nintendo characters will make it into the new game. This doesn't include Snake.

Sonic will make it in, for sure. If Toad ain't in it, I'll be pissed.

Erm, X Command Mission on GCN, Zero series on GBA, ZX on DS.

I also feel Resident Evil could get the spot if Capcom were to help out. After all Capcom is remaking RE4, RE: UC for Wii, we have RE5 coming to Wii. And Leon could actually match up pretty well with Snake and Falcon. Then again Sakurai is always talking about how he would like more female characters in Smash Bros. So they could give us Jill or who's the girl in RE1 again?

I don't think that would fit very well with the overall theme of Smash Bros, although a zombie weapon like the redead in Melee would be cool.

Still I think Namco or Hudson might eventually take the 3rd spot.
Pacman showed up in Super Mario Kart.

LOL WUT?! Pac Man in Mario Kart? Dude, lay off the crack pipe, that  rots your teeth.

Namco has also helped Nintendo out with its Starfox series lately. So Ninty might feel Namco deserves a bit more.

I wouldn't mind seeing Klonoa in the game, but he's probably too obscure for most of you. The look of confusion on your face at the mere mention of his name is my first point.

Hudson: Helped out on the last Smash Bros. didn't it, and Bomberman could be more interesting, and has sparked a lot of interest.

Hudson? You're thinking of HAL Labratories, I think. Bomberman could be an interesting choice though. Nice idea.

Then again i'm all for Megaman too, but I hope he's cooler then what he's become.

Damn straight. Everyone loves Zero. Hell, he was a selectable character in SNK Vs Capcom Chaos, which is a fighting game, so it's not that much of a stretch.

Sega's definitely got no.2 though. There's no way Sega could throw away a chance like this. Sonic just fits perfectly too I feel. And Sonic vs Mario.

Agreed, especially with Sonic and Mario Olympics or whatever the hell it is they're making. Same moveset but different outfits would allow them to fit Shadow, Amy, Tails, Knuckles and even Silver in there as well.

[WHONG]

that is a good as game. camera makes it funny

[nshady]

LOL WUT?! Pac Man in Mario Kart? Dude, lay off the crack pipe, that sh*t rots your teeth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kart_Arcade_GP

Unless he was misnaming the overall franchise as 'Super Mario Kart', I think he was incorrectly referring to the SNES game. But yes, Arcade GP does have Pac-Man.

[JPW]

yeah I meant Pacman was in Mario Kart: Arcade GP.
Pacman wouldn't be a good character though, but he will have that nostalgic feel, and he is a mascot, and the whole Pacman vs Mario could be good. And people always make references to Pacman now and then.

Bomberman has been mentioned a couple of times around the smahboards that's why i brought him up. He's not my idea. I can't take credit for that.

But I would like to take credit for possibility of Sonic in Smash Brothers.... He was my idea. Honestly after they confirmed Snake I said they got to have Sonic. 
nah jk.

Now sakurai also mentioned there will be cuts, and besides Pichu(hasn't been said, but it's definitely a no brainer) Who else do you reckon is gone?

 

 

[nshady]

Who the hell has ever thought...'hmm, wonder who would win out of Pac-Man and Mario?'.

Seriously.

Pac-man is just stupid. He doesn't even have any moves. He just eats things.

Well, young link is being replaced by cel-shaded WW link. I think that one Marth/Roy will go too.

[moodycj]

I never liked that there was Dr Mario and Mario. I think that they could have made a more original character than that.

Oh and Pac man would take Mario to the cleaners.

[nshady]

I hope we get Olimar too. Maybe with three different coloured Pikmin constantly tailing him.

[RJG]

Sonic being in Smash Bros has been around since Melee came out, so it's not like there's no want for the character.

I also think that Dr. Mario should have just been a skin for normal Mario, as Wario was. But now Wario is showing up Brawl as well.

I don't think the Ice Climbers will be back. Just a feeling I have.

[moodycj]

I didn't mind ice climbers just because they were original. I preferred them to the clones.

[Ant292]

I reckon they should just keep everyone and add new ones. WHat's the point of removing 'em?

[JPW]

I reckon they should just keep everyone and add new ones. WHat's the point of removing 'em?

to get rid of pointless characters that never get used.

nah jk. I reckon it's too reach a roster of at least 30 with a good set of old and new comers.
The last thing you want is too many characters to choose from. It be like Fire Emblem.

I reckon these are the cuts.
Pichu to be replaced by a better pokemon.
Dr. Mario to be replaced by someone more worthy.
Roy to be replaced with an up to date FE character, most likely Ike(the mst overrated lord ever!)
Mewtwo people have been thinking Lucario could replace mewtwo pretty well.
Yg. Link... not exactly replaced but redone in Cel shaded form. He will still be called Yg. Link, and have very similar moves.
5 is a good enough set for a cut. If there has to be one more Mr. Game and Watch.

As for others people say could be cut.

Marth. Just recently this has occured to me.  Marth is Mr Fire Emblem. Cutting Marth would be like cutting Mario. He is important to the FE world and he is a favourite on Smash Bros. He deserves his spot. Despite that it could be weird having 2 blue hair FE guys in, if they want they can also throw the main hero of FE10 Miciah.

Ice Climbers. Nostalgic value, then again Pit could of already replaced these guys buy IC do have a good fanbase, and there are fans out there, and I actually like the team concept and I would like it if they pushed this idea further with another duo. Diddy and Dixie Kong.

The rest have a pretty good chance of staying.



 

 
 

[Batman]

They should definitely cut Mario and Link and maybe Samus this is just my opinion. they should definitely add caterpie and professor oak this is just my opinion.




Oh also definitely get rid of Yoshi and Donkey Kong. And pikachu.

[moodycj]

Don't forget Kirby.

[Batman]

They should definitely cut Mario and Link and maybe Samus IMO definitely a thumbs up idea. they should definitely add caterpie and professor oak BUT THIS IS ALSO JUST IN MY OPINION.




Oh also definitely get rid of Yoshi and Donkey Kong. And pikachu.







and kirby

[AusCube]

They need to have no clones in this iteration. I hated that in Melee

[RJG]

Let's stop talking about characters for a second and start talking game modes.

I, for one, would love to see tag battles. Now, I don't mean 2 players vs 2 players tag battles, I mean proper tag battles.

One character dies, it gets replaced by the next one in your roster. Maybe even the option to switch out, and each character could have a different switch our animation. Pokemon could have their pokeball recalled, Link could float up in a beam of light ala Ocarina of Time grottos, Mario could climb a vine out of the arena, etc.

I'd also like to see a crazy party mode where only certain items are capable of hurting the opponent. For example, at the start of the round, only beam swords will damage your opponent. After thirty seconds, the rules change and now only laser pistols hurt your opponent. The beam swords disappear and a new batch of items spawn randomly over the map.

Ooh, how aout vehicles? The arwing could be an item. Grab the remote, call down an arwing, and hop aboard. Obviously you wouldn't be able to freely pilot it. It would work like on Corneria, where you can target, or try to aim at, certain characters. Or it could fly side to side and the little icon on the side of the screen tells you where you're coming in at, and it's your job to try and make the ship come in at the right angle to take out your enemies.

[nshady]

Those all sound pretty cool.

My biggest hope is that everything you can do offline you can do online too. I don't want some watered down crap.

[moodycj]

The one about the tag team sounded awesome. It would be like the event matches where you faced a roster of enemies. The item one sounds OK but I am not sure if it would be somthing I would use much. I am not sure about the other one.

[JPW]

Te arwing idea does sound good, I have a feeling something similar to that could be used For Fox's special move.

The modes judging from trailers so far the only returning mode looks to be Adventure Mode. I think Classic mode will return along with Event Matches(different ones), and most of the 1P stuff.

With the Special Melee modes such as Super Sudden Death, Giant Melee and such, these could return but some would be nice if it was part of a match set up. Like you sort that out after you choose your characters or whilst you're choosing your characters. This also open ups a door for random mode.
