Super Smash Bros releases seem to gain as much attention as an iPhone release, the wait is excruciating but the payoff is worth the wait. In a recent interview with Nintendo Power Magazine, Masahiro Sakurai, Director of Super Smash Bros., confirmed that they have taken “the first step of the development process.”
“We’ve just taken what you could call the first step of the process. This is the first time I’ve ever had my next project announced before it’s even entered development, and because of that, I fear that players will be forced to wait even longer than they expect to. Please be patient.”
Although we will have to wait for a release, it appears as though the game will be available for the Wii U and 3DS. I know this is not “new” news, but it is a new confirmation that the project is still in development. I have a feeling it will be worth the wait. What new characters would you like to see? Any old ones you would like to leave, or receive updates?
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
No Jigglypuff please. Bring back Mewtwo. Non Specific Action Figure is a must.
Love to see Prof. Layton, Dry Bowser, the Bob-omb King and Miis added to the line-up!
Megaman from Battle Network!!!!!Magnus,Palutena, Tails, Knuckles, aaaaand……i cant think of anyone else right now…
"This is the first time I’ve ever had my next project announced before it’s even entered development"
Sakurai, have you forgotten about Brawl? Kind of makes me wonder how old that interview really is…
Ghirahim, Skull Kid, Miis, Mewtwo,
how about not-sonic.
on to serious ones, definitely gino, Ephraim, poo, kumatora, salsa, porky, one of the paper mario partners(preferably bow, but idk how well she'd work), gengar, and the list just goes on
I'm fine with keeping the current characters, but I've got some to add.
-Non-specific action figure (I'm rooting for this little guy)
-Vivian (paper mario tyd)
-Paper Mario (If we can have Link, and Toon Link, why not?)
-Midna (Twilight Princess)
-Impa (Skyward Sword)
-Zelda & Link (redone in SS likeness)
-Dillon (Dillon's Rolling Western)
-Palutena/Viridi (or any Kid Icarus Uprising gods)
-Lynn and others (Fire Emblem characters)
-Isaac/Garett/Mia/Jenna..etc (Golden Sun)
-Leon (Resident Evil 4)
-All Pokemon >.> (j/k, holy junk that'd be a lot.)
@Hitokiri, you know they're going to remodel Link and Zelda…they always do.
Let's just bring back Mewtwo, please…
It's a long shot, but it would make my life if Crono ended up in a Smash Brothers game.
His move set would be great for the game, I think. Cyclone could be his Down B move. Spincut could be Up B, not only for attacking, but also perfect for getting back on to the stage. Slash could be his chargeable melee attack, which could also be used as a medium-range attack. Luminaire could be his Final Smash.
Also, the other Chrono Trigger characters could show up in the form of assist trophies so you could take advantage of Double Tech moves.
Also, I have a funny feeling that if anything, NSAF will be an Assist Trophy if this game still has those.
I'd like to see a few Super Mario RPG characters like Geno or Mallow. And maybe some Chrono Trigger characters like Chrono or Frog/Glenn. Dixie and K. Rool from the DK series would be pretty cool too. It would be neat if somehow they could implement a randomized Kirby character choice option that would allow us to play as any one of the random NPC/2nd player characters. Also, I think that they could rename the pokemon trainer "Red" and make another pokemon trainer named "Blue" with a different set of pokemon, possibly some from more recent generations. Other various characters I wouldn't mind seeing: Megaman, Kamek, Lyn, Bomberman, Rayman, Banjo and Kazooie, a Battletoad…
Characters I want:
Waluigi – (yes, the awkward purple plumber is my favorite of the four Super Mario plumbers, and deserves some recognition)
Geno – (of course, he was supposed to be in Brawl, but Square Enix is just… you know)
Toon Ganondorf – (he should wield two swords, like in TWW, so he's not just a clone)
Toon Zelda/Sheik – (hey, they did plan her for Brawl, why not take the full steps to putting her into Smash Bros?)
Non-Specific Action Figure – (I'd imagine that Nintendo would throw it in as a gag)
Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik – (if they even plan on still having third party characters in the mix)
Prof. Layton – (Sure, he may not be a fighter, but neither is Phoenix Wright, but he's still in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3)
Phoenix Wright – (Other than UMvsC3, he's only been on Nintendo consoles)
Miis – (Might as well want them if it's obvious they'll be playable. Hey, if so, give them costumes, like the hats from Street Pass Mii Plaza or like in Mario Tennis Open!)
Hades – (Best character in all of KIU)
Koopalings – (Each Koopaling will be just a different costume or "color" for the character, they can all have the same or similar moves. Either that or some sort of assist trophy)
Bowser Jr. – (I used to despise him until he appeared ALONGSIDE his brothers and sister in NSMBW. He can have a down b transformation into Shadow Mario, similar to Zelda with Sheik)
Other Pokemon Trainers – (As in the trainers from the other games, and they would use the other starters/evolved forms)
Rayman – (He'd be a cool 3rd party character for the game)
I can't think of any other characters, but I also have ideas for what to change or remove:
Wolf and Falco: Change their moves and final smashes so they aren't Fox clones, maybe even remove one of them or something.
Luigi's Final Smash: Makes no sense. Change it to something Luigi's Mansion relating. The one in Brawl would make more sense for Waluigi, since he apparently has hypnotic dancing powers in DDR:MM.
Costumes: Wario can wear his plumber OR biker outfit in Brawl. Add this feature to other such characters. For example: Mario – Doctor Mario, Luigi – Mr. L, Olimar – Louie, etc.
If they somehow decided , "lets go back to the way SSBM was and allow for tournament play" and then only used Nintendo characters while also introducing a brand new Nintendo character with the bunch to create hype for a new upcoming franchise game then I will be excited.
Jigglypuff is a must
winning with it is the greatest insult you can give any brawler.
it's fun to have a weak character/weapon in games that winning with makes you a boss and insults to losing party.
And so, it begins. After over 100 hours put into Brawl, I look forward to this crazy, crazy sequel.
^100 hours? Damn, it's been years and I still haven't even passed 60.
Mega Man (the original 8 bit look)
Wart

Count Bleck
Vaati
King K. Rool
Bomberman
Tingle
The Koopalings
Professor Layton

As for the stages, I would very muck like to see the following.

Megaman stages from all the 8 bit games.
Donkey Kong Country 2 (a mining melancholy stage)
