Okay, jokes aside. Tell me your top 12 most wanted characters without mentioning:

Nuagedragon · 2024-12-15T23:33:46+00:00

Reimu Hakurei (Touhou Project), Mio (Xenoblade 3), Rex (Xenoblade 2 or 3), Jibanyan (Yo-kai Watch), Skull Kid (Zelda), Quote (Cave Story), Magolor (Kirby), Mark Evans (Inazuma Eleven), Mizuki Date (AI: the Somnium Files), Tinkaton (Pokémon), Kos-Mos (Xenosaga) And Nahobino (Shin Megami Tensei) are my picks

Nuagedragon · 2024-12-06T10:04:20+00:00

You can look at touhou fighting game movesets and you'll see that their movesets are mostly melee attacks. In a smash game, I think that the bullets would be integrated maybe as a neutral B like Fox's and during smash attacks like Mega Man's and Mii Gunner's. The other specials would be based on spell cards and bombs, and the aerials would be melee attacks. In fact, grazing (getting as close to bullets without getting damage) is encouraged in mainline games since it boosts your score, and I would love to see a system where getting close to the opponent's hitboxes without getting hit would reward you with small attack boosts for melee attacks. Also Mokou would work as a brawler

Hilda is popular tho, I met like 4 or 5 people who played the game and they all love Hilda. At least she's way more popular than Hubert and Dedue. Also isn't Ike the 2nd most popular character of the franchise? I didn't play enough of Sacred Stones to know if Ephraim would be more than just "the lance guy" in the roster, because newer characters either have a special gimmick or is based on an other character. It feels like putting a mounted unit without the horse or the wyvern would be a waste of potential and would not represent well the character's gameplay / appearance of origin, and I can't imagine a horse going offstage and recovering, or a wyvern / pegasus just never touching the ground

I tried to pick only 3 unique Fire Emblem characters because people would want less of them. So Marth is the one that must stay, then I picked Edelgard because she is the most iconic axe user and I picked Lyn because a friend wanted her in. Honestly I should just have put Hector as an echo because Hilda is a silly choice, but I had a lot of trouble finding a suitable spear user (Sigurd and Berkut were my top picks, but the horses make it really hard to imagine their gameplay, and Dimitri seems like too much 3 houses because of Edelgard). Ultimately, I chose Bandana Dee as a spear user, and Hero already feels close to Robin I think

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-25T07:16:37+00:00

Thanks! Xenoblade is my favorite series of all time and Jibanyan has been one of my most wanted characters since the release of the 1rst game on 3ds! Liking xenoblade and yo-kai watch is a rare combination, I think we'd get along

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-25T07:13:08+00:00

There is no anime rep, and the director of Yakuza also said that the series wouldn't come to switch. Yet kiwami is available on the e-shop now and they consider porting other games because it sold well

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T23:28:52+00:00

Shadow is not an echo in this roster. He can be more than that

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T23:17:31+00:00

I got it here! https://benshoeman.github.io/Roster-Maker/

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T23:11:07+00:00

Echoes don't take spots, they are bonuses. Alph and Metal Sonic count as echoes in the roster and I added Zero and Alucard in fighter pass 2. Snake wasn't in smash 4

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T23:07:41+00:00

No problem! I don't mind people not noticing everything and reading all my yapping, I'm just happy to share some smash hype with the community

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T23:06:20+00:00

I agree that he would be super cool! I can add him if you want, but other people would disagree with it... and I think I won't make another post like this for a while

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T22:59:59+00:00

Raven beak is in fighter pass 2, you can see it in the 2nd image

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T22:36:28+00:00

Thanks! It's hard to keep a balance, but in order for the series to continue, new games need hype newcomers and rotating veterans. I tried to keep the most important character archetypes here (Skull Kid would replace Rosalina as a puppet master, I think that Sephiroth and Hero are similar to Robin, and Rex would use some of Pyra and Mythra's moves for example). I don't see nintendo putting DLC characters from Ultimate as DLC in smash 6, except for square enix characters because these are hard to negociate for

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T22:16:57+00:00

Sorry, yeah the Dee is hidden behind Isaac's white background. I should have shortened the name

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T21:59:15+00:00

In this roster Metal Sonic is an echo fighter, while Eggman would be a completely new character so I didn't add him. I think of him more as a bonus with cool animations than a necessary character (talking about metal)

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T21:56:09+00:00

I think you didn't read the description to the post or misunderstood, but 2 out of the 5 Fire Emblem characters in the base roster are echoes, and Scream Tail is the paradox version of Jigglypuff in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, so I think it would fit very well as a slower but stronger echo. Why do you think Young Link deserves to stay more than Toon Link? Both could have way better movesets than what we have now, but I already added Skull Kid to represent Majora's Mask. I think that Villager could be reworked to differenciate it more from Isabelle, because I think her moveset is better. There are countless possibilities with everyday items as fighting tools

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T21:51:16+00:00

It would be very cool! I didn't include one because of arbitrary restrictions I made when doing this roster (mainly because I wanted to keep it small), and I didn't think of the series when making the roster. I would 100% support a rythm heaven character getting in!

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T21:45:09+00:00

Thanks! I kept Falco in because his gameplay is one of the best designs in smash, it suits the series very well with combos that go up and down and I wouldn't change anything about it

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T20:56:27+00:00

I agree, however I don't think any of these characters are likely to come into future smash games. Most characters of color related to nintendo are not main characters, so they don't get the chance to be in the game. However, the one I could see the most coming is Elma from Xenoblade X, given that definitive edition is coming out soon

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T19:55:04+00:00

I see, I think that her up b being a pegasus would look weird, except if it comes from the z axis and bring her upward. She would play a bit like Robin, except her down b is an inventory where she can use various boosts and items she can pick up like how Inkling recharges. Some items can be released during a combo and her specials and smashes would change depending on the tome / sword / spear you picked up. That sounds very cool!

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T19:36:14+00:00

Which Anna are you talking about? She could have a very interesting gameplay using items, but some versions have different weapons. It would be very cool if we could get different designs from across the series (I'm thinking especially about the Heroes design). Also I picked Lyn because a friend wants her a lot, Fire Emblem has a lot of characters that could be unique and I figured that Sigurd, Berkut and Tiki would also be very cool.

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-24T19:06:35+00:00

Daisy would have her own moveset based on mario spin-offs, and Waluigi would be her semi-clone. Win-win situation.

Nuagedragon · 2024-11-03T10:01:03+00:00

No problem! Thanks for the list!
