Ridley wins, time for the third parties!

Rules:

1. characters must be created before January 31, 2008
2. no 4th parties
3. no downvoting
4. Third parties are only allowed on the last days of brawl
5. we don't have to follow the exact same roster as brawl did

Hey guys, I've been looking at the various rosters on this subreddit for a while now, and this time I want to combine some of the ideas I've seen here and liked with some of my own to eventually create a roster that can be enjoyable even if it's not entirely realistic.

For now, this is just a rough draft with a lot of characters that may or may not be right, so I'd like to hear your (constructive) opinions so I can make changes such as moving them to a different category, adding new characters, or removing some.

Now, to have it a little better organized, I divided it into categories:

Fighters: Complete fighters with unique movesets

Echo Fighters: Fighters with movesets similar to a full fighter but with some changes

Transforming Fighters: Fighters who can change characters during combat or in the final smash

Team Fighters: Characters who share the stage and slot with a full fighter

Skins: Alternative costumes that change the model and textures of another fighter

Bosses: Characters you can fight with in other game modes

Assistant: Assistant trophies and Pokeballs

I think that's all I have for now. Thank you so much for reading, and I look forward to your comments!!!

P.S. Sorry for the shitty ahh quality

Meta Knight wins

\\\*\\\*New Movesets\\\*\\\*

If a character has a + sign that means they have a new and improved moveset. This could be because of new games. Bananza, and OoT Remake are all examples of this.

Last time was super fun, so start attacking!

Yes Coco is an echo of Crash

NOTES:

Kamek is representing the Yoshi series, which is the only series in the original 8 stuck at one fighter.

I want Koopa Troopa in to acknowledge the “paah-paah” dance meme.

Note: IM SO SORRY EVERYONE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I had a lot to take care of mentally so I wasn’t in the mood to continue this for a while I’m very sorry. Anyways

I finally give you Day 3 with Melee. To no one’s surprise again, Wario, Snake, Sonic and Heracross have joined Melee. Now we select four characters for Brawl. just some notes again:

Wario’s render on my Brawl css is his classic overalls and not his biker uniform because in this hypothetical universe he was first added in Melee, where he just had his overalls. Therefore in Brawl, he’d have his overalls as a default outfit, and the biker outfit as an alt. Also Zero Suit Samus isn’t here because she isn’t part of the css in Brawl. Sheik is in the css but she’s with Zelda.

Heracross has been cut from Brawl. However, you can vote for a cut character, Heracross included.

I’ve already mentioned this but Mewtwo will be in every game here since he was in Smash 64, thus he’s finally in Brawl here lol.

Wario’s Melee render comes from Smash 2, Heracross’ Melee render comes from Evilasio 2 on DeviantArt, and Mewtwo‘s Brawl render comes from Project M.

I couldn’t find a good enough GameCube 3D render for Snake. Sowwy.

Alright then. This is the Wild West now. 64 and Melee had straightforward obvious picks, but now we suspect everything. Have fun, and I’m sorry.

(OG: https://www.reddit.com/r/SmashBrosRosters/comments/1wv51dl/smash\_6\_roster/)

- Added and rearranged some characters

- Added a line for DLC characters

- Added back Villager, removed Greninja

i made one about a year ago now but i disagree with it and went into it with a different mindset this time around. its kind of a blend of what im hoping for and what i think will happen. lemme know what you think!

What if in an alternate timeline, instead of a platformer/fighting game, Super Smash Brothers was instead a traditional fighting game, focusing on it's playable fighters and archetypes?

RULES
- Can only include characters that existed up until 1998 (1997 for New IPs)
- No Third Party Characters (For now...)
- Try to be unique, and not produce the same roster as canon
- If you want to include a specific character, also comment what their archetype would be between Average, Tank/Grappler, Zoner, Rushdown, Trapper or Special.
- If a tie happens between 2 or more characters, I'll spin a wheel to decide who wins.

So, what are you waiting for? The comment with the most upvotes will have their character be the first in the clash. Have fun everyone!

List of Fighters
01 - Mario
02 - Link
03 - Donkey Kong

…well, sort of.

- Diddy & Dixie Kong are going to function kind of like Ice Climbers, but with a tag function; however, their movesets won’t be as drastically different as the Pokémon Trainer’s team or Pyra/Mythra. They play almost identically with only a few key differences in DKC2, after all.

- I figured Pokémon should have at least one more trainer rep, and who better than Cynthia, the most iconic Champion in the series? She’d have three Pokémon like PT: Roserade, Togekiss, and Garchomp. One quick combo demon, one floaty tank, and one stock-destroying monster of an ace.

- 5-Volt and Smallfry are joke picks, but 5-Volt’s demonic rage mode and the vast array of different Salmonid weapon types and attack patterns would make for interesting mechanics, I think.

- The Octoling here is specifically Agent 8 from Splatoon’s DLC campaigns; that could leave room for Side Order’s unique mechanics as well as more personality than a generic Octoling avatar would have.

- Bandana Dee is the obvious new Kirby rep, but I decided to include Magolor as well because I think Kirby needs an actual villain on the roster, as well as a difficult to grasp 4D chess type character to show the intricacies beneath the surface of the Kirby franchise. Also for the modern representation.

- Lyn, Claude, and Theodora are all here for Fire Emblem, mostly because they’re actual characters more than bland player self-inserts. More importantly though, they each have a unique primary weapon: Lyn’s katana, Claude’s bow, and Theodora’s polearm thing.

- Black Shadow is basically just here to be Ganondorf’s old moveset as a Captain Falcon semiclone; there’s no shot Ganon doesn’t get a major rework in this hypothetical game, but I didn’t want to totally trash the unga bunga bulls**t playstyle he has now.

- The fourth Mii slot is essentially meant to encapsulate all the silly nonsense that goes on in the more abstract, party-ish, or slice-of-life Mii games.

DLC 1 is called the New Challenger pack, featuring five first-party reps:
- Paper Mario, who has made a unique name for himself totally separate from his mainline counterpart;
- Rauru, here to represent the complexities of Tears of the Kingdom’s gameplay without totally reworking Link, as he is the original bearer of the Ultrahand;
- Tinkaton, who would be a particularly unique body type and playstyle that I don’t think any non-Pokémon could accomplish better;
- Starfy, who is entirely my personal nostalgia pick but does have a pretty unique and fluid style of movement and direction-shifting attacks, along with various transformations courtesy of Prince Bunston;
- and Professor Layton, who would basically be what Phoenix Wright is to Marvel vs. Capcom. I don’t know how he’d function exactly, but building a moveset around such a quaint puzzle series would make for something very interesting.

DLC 2 is called the Guest Star pack, featuring five third-party reps:
- Rayman, who is having a bit of a resurgence with the Legends remake, and would have plenty of fun movement and odd disjoints with his disembodied appendages;
- Doom Slayer, who would be the first FPS rep and have an incredibly aggressive playstyle where you have to stay up in your enemy’s face without exhausting your arsenal;
- Dante, who would have an incredible personality and presence while being a complicated combo-centric character who can rack up insane damage and absolutely style on opponents in the right hands;
- The Chosen Undead/Bearer of the Curse/Ashen One, who can represent the very committal and risky but unbelievably rewarding gameplay of Dark Souls, who can crumble in seconds if their player fails to read the opponent;
- and Kris, the sole indie rep and chosen specifically because of how influential DELTARUNE and UNDERTALE have been as well as their ties with Nintendo as of late; their moveset could utilize the fact that Kris is aware of the player’s influence, and could call upon Ralsei and Susie >!in a similar manner to >!Chapter 5’s real-time ACTs in its 2D platformer segments!<!<.

Some of these are for accuracy while others are for gameplay. If you have questions just ask! I love talking about smash and what I think needs changed

Rules:

1. characters must be created before january 21 1999
2. no 4th parties
3. bonus upvote for character suggested that isn't in the smash series yet

Bowser wins

today we'll be voting on one of these 6 nes retro reps

I made a few changes to the base roster, compared to my previous version. It goes to show how uncertain some inclusions can be.

Anyway, the roster has 77 characters (58 veterans and 18 newcomers (+1 bonus early purchase character)).

Swipe right for the boss roster.
