Thought this might be a cool concept. I've enjoyed the SSB franchise, when Brawl came out...we all pondered who they might add to the game that wasn't in the last game. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the characters, as well as a bit disapointed. I figure, if there was another game made (which seems more than likely) who would you add to the mix? I figured 10 slots would be enough, without going overboard. And it's ok to have wishful thinking;

1. Banjo - one of the Rare's better characters, he had 2 good games for the N64. Even though the Banjo franchise is in Microsoft's hands now, it would work much better a Nintendo system. Kazooie can aid Banjo with flying or possibly any sort of ariel attack, maybe a hybrid of Pit and D.K.

2. Little Mac - one of two people I was disapointed that he wasn't a playable character in Brawl. After the new Punch Out game, it would be awesome if they used him in Smash Bros. format. Star punches aside, his final smash would be that Giga Mac thing.

3. Ridley - Samus has been alone as far as representation for Metroid in Smash Bros. I don't know of any other characters that would possibly work from Metroid, and I'm a bit skeptic on this, since Ridley is so big, maybe he can be scaled down like Bowser. Nonetheless, I think his role in Brawl was good, making him a playable character is the next step.

4. Simon Belmont - why not? Simon is the shit! Not only does he bring a lot to the table with his flame whip, but the stage that could accompany his character would be awesome to play on. Holy water, crosses and the useless dagger can also be used, maybe a good match up for Link.

5. K. Rool - I always liked this guy. He seemed like a severe fucking lunatic. While Bowser seemed to kidnap Peach because he had a crush on her, this large lizard decided to steal D.K's bananas...for no real reason. Throwing his crown, using the Blunderbuss...the charge. I think he would be an interesting addition.

6. Dr. Robotnik - What is Sonic without his adversary? I really don't know what sort of way to use him other than possible a nice robot body or something. I think if they do add a Sonic character, they should go with him first.

7. Master Higguns - Here's a guy who has gotten a bum deal. Adventure Island was a fun series and Higguns always reminded me of a Mario with a boomerang. That would be an interesting addition along with his skateboard or dinosaur buddy (didn't that come out before SMW?).

8. Bomberman - Never been a huge fan of the franchise, but the character himself would be a smart addition to the game. Thought about giving this spot to another character from F-Zero, but I couldn't really pick out a single character other than Falcon.

9. Ryu Hayabusa - Since he made his debut on the NES, it would be a cool way to come full circle. While I haven't played the new games, I know they're pretty popular, so much like Snake in the last game, he would appeal to people who like the Gaiden games.

10. Mega Man - THIS SHOULD'VE HAPPENED IN THE LAST GAME!! Seriously, everyone wants it. Outside of maybe Sonic, I believe Mega Man would be a good pick for a big name in the next game. You could go the route of maybe adding Wily as well, but I think that might dillute having Mega Man there by himself. So many possibilities for moves as well. Make it happen Nintendo!

batman (he might be too much like snake though)
tails
banjo w/kazooie
charles barkley (self explanatory... although only FNJ would agree)
any of the ninja turtles (maybe have a pokemon type guy who can switch out the turtles)
any of the belmonts, but i would prefer alucard
fawful

1. Pac-Man - Namco co-devloped the Triforce arcade hardware with Nintendo and Sega, and Pac-Man is playable in either one or both Mario Kart GP games, so he should be a top contender for inclusion. Besides, he's spent the last 15 years trying to reinvent himself as an alternative to Mario and Sonic.

2. Bomberman - I believe Hudson still develops those cash-raking Mario Party games for Nintendo. It's high time Nintendo rewarded them by including their most famous franchise character.

3. Amy Rose - We need another Sonic character, but Tails, Knuckles, and Robotnik would all be design nightmares. I can't conceptualize what the movesets for any of those guys would be, but I can conceptualize Amy: Sonic with a giant fucking hammer.

4. NiGHTS - Eh, why not? Give the Sega fanboys another reason to support Nintendo.

5. Lolo (possibly with Lala) - Nintendo owns the property anyway, might as well get some use out of it.

6. Jessie and James - An evil alternative to Pokemon Trainer. Give them Meowth, Arbok, and Cacnea. Also, turn the Trainer into Ash.

7. REAL Wario - Fuck this Wario Ware loser in Brawl who looks like he must have shit his pants when he walks. Give us the lovable anti-hero from Wario Land/Wario World instead of Farty McStupid.

8. Kamek - Needs moar Mario characters.

9. Amigo - This would be hilarious.

10. Toad - I demand a playset of SMB2 characters.

I always liked Crash...I think that would be a good character too, too bad Naughty Dog no longer makes those games...I've love to see his little taunt in the game.

Earthworm Jim is another guy I considered, but passed on...but it would be a good throwback to those who remember when those games were a HUGE deal.

Scorpion would be a good crossover character as well, but then you open the box for the entire Kombat cast...personally if I did go that route, I'd use Lui Kang.

9. Geno - Ha. Right.


Pac Man would be cool, I think he would be hard to program

I also considered Lolo...that would be interesting to see. I remember their cameos in Kirby Superstar.

Are Jesse and James based on anything other than that cartoon? I know they were in Pokemon Yellow, but itself was based on the cartoon.

Kamek is awesome...I still demand they put him in Mario Kart.

I like Geno as well...but always partial to Mallow. Sure he was a crybaby, but his Thunderbolt always kicked ass.

If they used Scorpion, it would probably be the SD version from Puzzle Kombat.

Pac-Man is totally doable. He's had three 3D platformers. Problem is, most of his moves are already in use. His ground pound is similar to Yoshi's, and his Pac-roll is like that move Jigglypuff has. Jessie and James were created for the cartoon, but I believe Nintendo owns the rights to their characters. They appear in the CCG, which is produced by Nintendo as well.

I'd normally put Shang Tsung or Raiden before Scorpion, but in my opinion he'd be alot more fun to play as and beat the crap out of Meta Knight, Pit, and Lucario with.

Might as well make him god-tier, while we're at it as well.

Believe me, I wasn't trying to criticize anyone for their opinions, I just wanted a little insight, sorry if it was taken the wrong way. I'd like to see Pac Man as well, I haven't played the PS1 or anything beyond that, so I don't know what he'd be like. Maybe he eats a Power Pellet and everyone flashes blue and returns to the middle of the stage after getting munched?

What would Indy's final smash be? Awaiting someone to taunt him with a big sword, then just pull out a gun and shoot the guy?

Or would the Ark of the Covenent appear out of nowhere and melt Mario's fucking face off?

No need to apologize. I was just explaining that it's possible, and a lot of the design work is done. And the Power Pellet thing would unquestionably be his Final Smash.

Here's some Pac-Man World 3 footage to give you an idea of how he might play. His combat skills aren't really shown until the second half:

I don't trust Disney... if we bring Scrooge over, the whole gang is going to try to seize the ship. BUT it's be a nice character to have on board, I agree. Enough with stupid sailor metaphors.

In no particular order:

a) MIDNA in her impish form. My hopeless fanboyism goes here.
b) Mega Man or Mega Man X
c) Bass or Zero (Although I think they wouldn't be equivalent movesets-wise, since I portray Zero as a close quarters fighter and Bass as a long range one)
d)Mewtwo. I DO MISS HIM. Lucario doesn't count ._.
e)Ridley! RIDLEY! I've been asking for Ridley since 1999!
f)Tails. Or Knuckles. Or Amy Rose. Or Rouge, gotta admit she's kinda sexy for a bat.
g)Someone else from the Metal Gear Solid universe. Revolver Ocelot or Gray Fox (Once again, I can't see them as equivalents, but hey)

That covers the remotely plausible ones. The last three I'll let my imagination fly away...

h) Travis Touchdown... and/or Shinobu from No More Heroes.
i) Nemesis from Resident Evil.
j) Etna from Disgaea!!!!!!!

Crazy~


It's too late now because you haven't been PAYING ATTENTION.

1. Mega Man- for totally obvious reasons
2. Zero- they would have to do Mega Man first though
3. Tails- would be a great addition but Syd's statement about Amy does sound better
4. Pyramid Head- Never going to happen but I can dream, using his big knife and using rape as a final smash.
5. Akuma- Probably wouldn't be the first SF character they would use but he would tear some ass up.
6. Tingle- Man I want to kill him.
7. Ulala- She would probably have a great move set and some stylish moves
8. Ecco- Just to see if they could pull it off
9. The Marbles from Marble Madness
10. Paperboy


Shake it, Quake it, Space Kaboom.

I must admit, I actually haven't played Melee or Brawl, nor could I come up with ten characters I'd add to the roster. However, aside from Mega Man and Little Mac, I'd have liked to see Mike Jones in one of the games. Who wouldn't want the Ultra Psychic Shock Wave for a Final Smash?

1. Toejam & Earl - These two could play together much like The Ice Climbers or separate, which I would prefer. If they are separate they could be sort of like Mario & Luigi, similar, but different enough to be different characters. I would want them each to have a projectile move, and one would throw tomatoes while the other throws jars.

2. Mega Man - Don't really need to say why, Doddsino summed it up perfectly. Seriously, the possibilities for what they could give him are endless.

3. Earthworm Jim - One of my favorite Genesis games, and I just want to see this guy in anything sometime soon, and this would be the perfect place.

4. Ryu (Street Fighter) - He isn't my favorite Street Fighter character, but if one was going to be put in to represent it, he would have to be the choice. He's basically the Street Fighter poster boy and his specials are all right there already. B is Hadouken, Up +B is Shoryuken, Down + B is the spinning kick.

5. Ryu Hayabusa - Ninja Gaiden on the NES is my favorite game of all time, so I would love to see him in it, but his original blue NES costume would have to be in it or I would be royally pissed.

6. Rash, Pimple, or Zitz - Any one of the Battletoads would make a great addition. There moves were already so over the top in the NES it would be great to see it with current gen graphics. I can already picture Rash giving Mario multiple jabs than, BANG! He grows ram horns and sends him flying. All there big smashes from the NES and SNES games would be PERFECT for this game.

7. Crash Bandicoot - Not much to say other than I loved his PSX games and always thought he was an interesting character. Even though Sony never made it official, he WAS the mascot for PSX, so it would be great seeing him, Mario and Sonic go at it.

8. Bub and/or Bob - The Bubble Bobble Dinosaurs would probably be tough to make work, but damn it, I would love to see it. The only way I could really see them working though is as a team, like The Ice Climbers.

9. Ristar - Every one always seems to leave this game out of greatest games of all time lists. He isn't much of a character I suppose, but he could work. Hopefully by adding him his great game would get more attention.

10. Scorpion - If I'm putting some one in from Mortal Kombat, it has to be one of the ninjas, and I've always liked Scorpion more than Sub-Zero. The thought of touching B and seeing Scorpion throw out a spear and yelling "GET OVER HERE!" to Yoshi is just to great of an opportunity to pass up.

  1. John McClane - Die Hard
  2. Rydia - FFIV
  3. Maxim - Lufia
  4. Cyan - FFVI
  5. Steve Yzerman - NHL'04
  6. Mike Tyson - Punch Out
  7. Gordon Freeman - Half Life
  8. Cloud Strife - FFVII - I would be ok with him just being an NPC. I don't want to be him, I just want to hurt him.
  9. Obi-Wan Kenobi - Star Wars
  10. Michael Westen - Burn Notice

Also, Elevator Action Guy.

I just hate Intense mode, I know there are some people out there that are so awesome at games, that they can beat Taboo with Jigglypuff, but teasing me with a fucking trophy is ridiculous. I know it presents a challenge, but I remember I was grinding my teeth so much when I was doing "Break the targets", that I ended up going to the dentist to fix a chip from grinding. After that, I had to put the game down.
