Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai says that he’s currently doing his utmost best to bring back the beloved Nintendo characters that graced previous games to the forthcoming Smash Bros Wii U and Smash Bros 3DS.
“I am planning on doing my best to bring old characters back in Smash Bros. From that perspective, I am probably in the most fortunate position in the world.”
Just make sure Luigi is in there and i’ll be happy.
just make sure toon/young link is there and i’ll be happy.
Just make Pikachu and Sonic are in there and I’ll be happy.
just make sure ike and Kirby are there and I’ll be happy!
I really love the Ice Climbers… they’re my go-to characters. If no other returning characters, I want Popo and Nana.
Just make sure Wolf is there and I’ll be happy.
Just make sure Fox is in there, and I’ll be happy.
Just make sure Sonic is there and I’ll be Happy.
Just make sure Lucario is there and I’ll be happy.
Just make sure Sonic stays the fuck out this time, no 3rd party!
how about no
sonic is awesome
Just make sure Jung Link and Marth are there and I’ll be happy.
no make sure roy is in there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just make sure Geno is in there and I’ll be happy!
Just make sure Captain Falcon is in there and I’ll be happy.
Just make sure Mewtwo, Dr.Mario and Roy is there and I’ll be happy
Just make sure Non-Specific Action Figure is there and I’ll be happy.
LMAO
Young Link from Majora’s Mask
Up+B=Spin Attack
Other combos with B could be Zora, Goron, and Deku Mask with their own movesets like Pokemon Trainer and Final Smash could be like Samus where Link could transform into Feirce Deity and have his own moveset.
That would be awesome and would make the game way better
I had thought about that and if it’s a good idea, it was like with Pokemon Trainer and if I had also thought of the fierce deity.
Too bad Sakurai said that he is planning on MORE 3rd party….expect Sonic, Tails, Eggman to make an appearance and also Banjo Kazooie, Bomberman, Spyro, and most definitly Rayman and probably a couple Rabbids too.
Banjo and Kazooie are more like estranged family members. Then just some 3rd party.
Pikachu and sonic are the most broken cheaty characters in the game! Pikachu can just spam thunder over and over and no one can touch him. Sonic can just zoom around the field and escape damage. AND THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME FINAL SMASH.
Characters that take skill? Snake, Ike, and Marth. Sure they’re strong, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re screwed.
…Yeah no.
LOL no.
Pikachu was in all the three Smash Brothers, so why take it out. Sonic’s first appearance was in Brawl, meh. I guess Sakurai will put him on SSB Wii U/3DS.
Why not just put all the old characters in there, the more the merier
^ This.
Sonic isn’t broken. I hate noobs who spam thunder, but Sonic can be easily stopped with a reasonable speed character. He’s fast but his attacks don’t generally hit too much. Meta Knight is broken, hopefully they nerf him a bit in SS4.
yeah meta knight is DEFINITELY broken. idk why they were saying sonic was broken lol.
I fight a very good Sonic all the time and he is beatable. I hate Pikachu since he has a very simple infinite chain grab on my Fox to the point if it was possible, they should have patched it. Also Snakes tilts are clearly over powered.
Good thing is if any character has an unfair advantage like Pikachu’s grab on Fox in the next game Wii U can patch it.
Indeed, I find it funny that Sonic has the fastest running speed, but his moves are somewhat slow and predictable.
As for Meta Knight…yeah he deserves to be nerfed a lot, worst thing is apparently Sakurai purposely made him overpowered.
you dont know how to play if you cant hit Pikachu while hes spamming, if you tried Sonic youd prob run right off the stage, and your list of “skill” characters is also the list of “overpowered” characters
characters that take skill? ice climbers,olimar and game and watch if you dont get killed by them…….you will get killed the next round
just make skyward sword link and mewtwo there and i will be happy
just make sure Mighty Mask and Grimace are there and I’ll be happy
just make sure mega man is there and i’ll be happy
Yeah! Megaman would be a nice stellar apparition in SSBWiiU and maybe Zero in the 3DS version
I hope that there won’t be any ”exclusive characters” on the 3DS and Wii U. If it happens, both versions of the game will be incomplete: think about it.
i´d be happy if they would choose king. k . rool.
Just make sure Professor Layton is in there and I’ll be happy!
Just make sure Meta Knight is in there an i’ll be happy
just make sure all the old characters are there and i’ll be happy.
just make sure non specific action figure is there an ill be happy…..what?
No love for Olimar? As long as he’s in there I’ll be over joyed!
Just keep Falco, give us atleast 1 more Star Fox character (I’m looking at you, Krystal), and put Mewtwo back in and I’ll let you do whatever you want with the game.
hey there i agree with that one i love using fox he’s my main char i can murder any char with in brawl and it would be interesting if they put skyward sword link in the mix of things
Keep Ike in there and i’ll be happy.
MEWTWO should be there and skyward sword link
just make sure pokemon trainer red is there and i will be happy.
put yellow there too…..
Please keep Zelda in there. She’s the best!
More new characters and bring back the old
ones. I want this one to have more then 50.
I want everybody from every game + 25 new characters. + DLC :) it should be done!
Just make sure good ol’ Olimar and Samus is in there <3.
MEGAMAN and kyrstal please
This, and Isaac too
and Roy and Pichu need to come back too
Roy is a must
Do he mean old Nintendo characters or characters that was previously in Smash Bros, but got taken out. I hope it’s not the ladder. As long as they finally add Meowth and keep Lucas and Toon Link I’d be very happy.
Latter.
And “Utmost best”?
Who has been scrapped who could return? Mewtwo is popular, but Roy is basically a cross between Marth and Ike, and Dr.Mario is a clone.
pichu? idk. a lot of the characters, besides mewtwo, that were cut i wouldnt really care if they returned ibh
Knowing the series at this point, I’d say both. Since so many people are demanding so many characters from Melee and Brawl I would call that a fortunate spot to find oneself in, though it’s a necessary burden. However, showing forgotten characters to a new generation sounds quite fortunate (as long as you don’t enrage people by having it come at the cost of their favorite character.
Yeah, bring back the old ones and add new ones. The SSB roster should never decrease. Leave luck to heaven.
I agree with this man.
I want Shulk from Xenoblade to be one of the New characters in SSBU
That would be cool… ‘cept idk how they would figure his moveset…
So do I.
I hope this means Mewtwo will come back. Even though he was a pretty bad character, I am sure they will make him better in the next game. And I hope Roy will come back.
But no Pichu. Please no Pichu.
This! Pichu is a waste of time. Keep most of the old ones, take out the useless ones. I would also change some of the move sets. Ganondorf should not have been a slow version of Captain Falcon for example. He never used any of his signature magic from Zelda. There’s more opportunity for guest stars too like Megaman and Pacman.
What if Pichu became more powerful with the more damage he took? Then he’d be good!
Then Pichu would be overpowered…
Then he would be a pint sized Lucario xD.
Don’t forget to add some new ones in there too! Hoping for some surprises from SSB on Wii U!
I want shulk from Xenoblade in it soo badly :(
^ This
It’s from a 1st-Party studio, so I don’t see why not.
^ This +2
why not?
Bring 3rd party not your old ip garbage that u scrap cuz it sucked like kid icurus smh i hope micosoft makes their version id love to play as halo
WTF is wrong with you? Microsoft better stop stealing Nintendo’s ideas and secondly get your character names right! It’s Master Chief or something like that. Halo is the name of the game he’s in. Lastly coming from your name your late to the party that is everyone thinks Sonic sucks…
Lmao.
What about if every Sonic fan can stop complaining about the fucking games? Just play them, damn. Whatever. I hate raging Sonic fans.
…It’s been years since Sonic fans as a whole have complained about Sonic games…
yeah…
what they’d have master chief and who else?
different sorts of cars?
You can either be Spartan or Golf.
A viva piñata character, a crachead from crackdown,
am I the only one smart enough to notice this faggot was a troll?
“id love to play as HALO” should have been your first and ONLY clue needed…
you guys are idiots
king boo is a must have
fail microfag.
Let me guess honey bee,metal mario,shy guy,mouser and king frog thing smh FAIL
Why should they put Metal Mario when there’s the Metal Box item.
Notice how all of the characters you’ve listed are characters not may people know about or just minor characters. All of the characters in ALL of the Smash Bros. are popular be it in Japan or in U.S. as well. Even the Pokemon they’ve added were popular through the games or anime.
wow that’s so cool, but it must be difficult for characters like balloon fight and duck hunt but the last one i don’t see coming!!!!! :D
just make sure Mr. game and watch and snake are there and I’ll be happy!!! ^o^
PROFESSOR LAYTON!!!
please
just why?
^I’d love to see what kind of attacks would inflict Profr. Layton. :3
lol the square root of pi is OVER 9000!!!!! K.O. rofl
game and watch master race. don’t ever take him out
the characters i’d like to see are knuckles, geno and bowser jr
geno has a low chance due to copyright but i don’t care i want him in :3
No Knuckles. Ever. Not against Sonic or 3 rd party characters being in Smash, I just think each company should have no more than one playable character and a few assist trophies, but from different games to the one the character is from (Sonic, NiGHTS and Vyse, for example).
And Bowser Jr? Are you serious? What would he offer? Sod all. Geno, yes, but no other Mario characters as all the main ones are there.
its just my opinion you know
knuckles would be ok, im not suggesting flood the entire game with 3rd party, but knuckles would legitimately work
bowser jr could have his paint brush, transform in to shadow mario how zelda does to shiek, have one of his mech’s as a final smash possibly and have fire and shell attacks
there was no need to bash it
Thank you.
Sakurai won’t add another Sonic character, he wants to limit third parties. At the very best, Sonic will be back. It’s not a sega game, it’s a nintendo game.
I cringe everytime I see someone suggesting Bowser Jr or even worse: Toad. They wouldn’t add anything and they’re obnoxious as hell.
As for Geno…well he technically belongs to Square and while it’s reasonable to expect a character from the company…it would be a bit awkward to have a 3rd party character whose sole appearance was from a Mario game…if you get what I mean.
it was for the super nintendo an exclusive and one of the greatest games ever so shut ur face.
You didn’t get what I meant. Super Mario RPG was an amazing game, and Geno was an awesome character. HOWEVER he belongs to Square, which is why he couldn’t have an appearance in Brawl. I just said that, assuming Sakurai will take only pick one character per 3rd party comapny, it would be weird for Square to be represented by someone who’s essentially a Mario character. I’d much rather see Crono from Chrono Trigger (IMO, the greatest RPG on the SNES), but that’s just an opinion.
The most frequent thing I’ve seen from Bowser Jr. in fan movesets is his Shadow Mario form. I could also see him using the giant Bullet-Bill shooting robot from Galaxy 2 as a final smash.
Make sure Falco and King Dedede are in and I’ll be happy.
And plz no Pichu are any tiny useless character…Take out Jigglypuff aswell…
Add Magmortar or something instead ;p
Hey… Hey…
Jigglypuff is a veteran for 3 Super Smash Bros. games. Don’t break it’s heart, man!
Jigglypuff is a fucking beast, it shouldn’t be taken out.
Jigglypuff is female o.o
Can be both male or female. Eh, doesn’t matter.
I say if they add another poke mon it should be Blaziken, I mean its go a move set that could easily transfer over to the Smash Bros. game, hell clone marios third jump move as its sky uppercut! Give it chirizards flame thrower and blaze kick and fire punch as its other moves.
hey jiggly was in all 3 games, that’s a kick in the balls if he does that.
Jiggy’s sleep move and inlating final smash would like a word with you.
As long as Ridley becomes a playable character I’ll be happy.
Add Amaterasu or Mega Man and I’d also be happy.Make it happen Capcom and Nintendo.
Capcom will probably have one character to represent them, at most.
Though it would be pretty awesome to have a Nintendo vs Capcom game.
Yeah but we should leave that for a fighting game don’t u think inthe vein of say marvel vs capcom 3
That’s exactly what I said…it would be a good idea for another game.
Also, lol SSB is not a fighting game? It’s definitely not as technical as Street Fighter or Tekken but it still counts as a fighting game you know :P
what is SSB without jigglypuff? i mean seriously theres a reason that out of all 500 pokemon they choose jigglypuff to be in it. jigglypuff is awesome.
Rest = Win.
When the first smash bros was made there were only 151 pokemon to choose.
Here’s my idea, have costumes for the characters with or without colors. Pichu can be a costume for Pikachu, as well as Raichu. Mario can have Doctor Mario and Shadow Mario. Link can have Young Link and Toon Link, etc. The most important thing about this would be that all of the characters with the same moveset would be considered as the same but could look different and have different voices, sound fx. This would take up less roster space, and be used as another way of unlockable content when you progress through the story.
Also, Donkey Kong- Chunky Kong, Funky Kong
Samus- different suits, (dark, gravity, etc)
of course this wont work for all of the characters, and team battle needs colors, so colors would still be needed also.
I am 100% agreeing with this. Wario had two different costumes but why was he the only one?
One tiny potential problem is that costumes may end up being DLC you’ll have to pay for, considering the time we live in.
Nintendo ain’t really down with DLC and knowing project sora they will add stuff till they fill up the 25 gig disc
I could see Chunky, but Funky is too fundamentally different to be an alternate costume. Also, those are properties of Rare since they came from DK64.
That would be a good idea.
All I ask for Sakurai
Skull Kid with Majora’s Mask
please
please
Indeed
How about some Fierce Deity Link? Just saying… Awesomeeeeeeee
This with a passion! I could picture a final smash where not only is the moon falling but he becomes Majora’s Wrath. He could whip opponents around w/ his tentacles until the moon crashes.
I. LOVE. THIS. IDEA!… can you imagine the epicness of the final smash???
I know this is kinda weird but it’d be awesome if there were some Kingdom Hearts characters(Sora/Riku) in this one maybe as later dlc or with the game already. Also Metal Sonic, Billy Hatcher, and maybe introduce a system where characters turn into different forms in battle besides using final smash Ex: different Links, different Marios
Also forgot to add Pokemon can evolve to different forms.
What if Sakurai worked in correlation with the pokemon team and actually borrowed some of the programming from Pokemon Stadium, and made it so the pokemon trainer has access to a certain number of pokemon throughout the series based on the rules of the match, so the pokemon trainer actually can choose their playset of over 600 pokemon and even register them as a set, and each one of the original pokemon would have the same moveset borrowed over from Pokemon stadium, then using the touch screen you can choose which of the 6 pokemon you want to use at this moment during the fight. The development process would be huge but it would actually create the most balanced thing and wouldn’t spam the player list with pokemon
I was WAITING for someone to mention those characters. Because I was just about to say something. I would love to see sora vs. Link, ya know?
sora,riku,metal sonic,billy hatcher, different forms?
im sorry but im glad your makeing smash bros
I know it’s not a Nintendo franchise anymore, but I was thinking about old games and I would love to see Banjo Kazooie on smash bros. the combo bear strength + bird wings and pecks could be a super good fighter.
Agreed! If that happened I would be super happy.
Microsoft own Banjo Kazooie… so that’s unlikely :(
yeah they own that but never use it… why?
They used it once and we don’t like to talk about it.
Why not give Waluigi some love? I mean, Waluigi is more neglected than Luigi!
That’s because he sucks…..
(trolololo)
Why not every qualified fighter in the Nintendo Universe?
You can never have too many, right?
Ok…Jigglypuff can get my approval for being cute…but make it a bit better…it wasn’t as powerful as the other characters in Brawl…
And I agree to Banjo, he should be included…since it basicly belongs to the DK world…
Wizpig should be one of the main villains for the main story ;D
Jigglypuff is underpowered..?
1. Knuckles. KNUCKLES.
2. Bring Mewtwo back, give him a final smash. I don’t care if tournament players never used him or WHATEVER, the game is about having fun. Make Metaknight more “cheap” and I won’t care, he’s so awesome he really deserves to win.
3. Assist trophies. I really like them. But it’d be cool if more were attackable, more like the adventure mode from Melee.
I’d rather have Tails than Knuckles.
Little Mac from Punch Out!!
He’s a natural choice! He was already a trophy, so why not make him a fully-fledged character?
Hey hey hey.
What about the Ice Climbers?
They will stay since we need a tag team.
Yeah I guess.
yeah there unique
As long as Dr. Mario isn’t a separate character but an alternate costume and Young Link is out of the roster (Toon Link doesn’t ruin the Zelda timeline since both Links in Brawl were canonically different), then I’ll be happy. Also, the maxium number of characters for the Wii U will be about 47 characters to keep Sakurai’s 10 digit pattern from the previous titles’ rosters (64 has 12, Melee has 25, and Brawl has 35).
Give me Mewtwo and I’ll be happy.
We need Ness’s dad from EarthBound.
Make him an item! ^_^ It’s a phone on a table, and when a player answers it dispenses items.
why not Paula instead?
But seriously, give me Ridley or give me death.
All I want to see is Daisy (not a Peach Alternate costume, but a separate and unique Daisy character) and Luigi. Anything beyond that is all gravy.
Diddy Kong? R.O.B?
TIME FOR MY LIST OF CHARACTERS WHO SHOULD BE IN!
1. Wolf Link/Midna (Twilight Princess)
2. Isaac (Golden Sun)
3. Groose (Skyward Sword)
4. Ghirahim (Skyward Sword)
5. Shulk (Xenoblade)
6. Non Specific Action Figure (Iwata’s desk)
3RD PARTY CHARACTERS
7. Megaman X (Capcom)
8. Phoenix Wright (Capcom)
9. Rayman (Ubisoft)
10. Mickey Mouse (Whoever Warren Specter is working with)
Plus all of the characters from the previous games.
Wolf link yeah goose and ghirahim not sure rather see the final boss from SS and skull kid.
1.SS Link will be the only adult Link, the only possible other incarnation would be Toon Link
2. Yes, definitely want that
3. Funny character, not much moveset potential and not relevant enough
4. Would definitely be interesting, if they are to have another Zelda character it should be him
5. HELLZ YEAH
6. Depends if appears in games before that :P
7-8. It would be one or the other (only one character per company), and it would likely be Megaman
9. Would be interesting (personally I’d rather see Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes but that’s just me)
10. No way. He’s not a video game character, he doesn’t belong to a video game company. He’s an unrealistic expectation.
No more Heroes 3 is listed as a Wii u game in development
You serious ?! I request evidence!
Saw it on 2 sites and also Wiki has it listed and every other game they have listed for Wii U has been confirmed so wii will see
Agree with your list, maybe only one from Capcom though. Non-specific Action Figure is a MUST.
I’d picture The Groosinator as an assist trophy.
He could fall from the sky… like snorlax
yesss
If X (MegaMan X) is in I’ll be happy.
Magnus from Kid Icarus will probably be a character. Another heavy weight fighter.
that would be sick
Magnus! Magnus! Magnus!
goose man.
Little Mac honestly should’ve already been made playable by now lol
We know we can expect these for sure:
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Wario, Yoshi. (plz add DaisyWaluigi/Baby Bros/Bowser Jr.)
Link, Zelda/Sheik, Ganondorf. (i hope Toon Link comes back, but i expect Young Link since the latest Zelda game had him)
Kirby, King Dedede. (Hopefully Meta Knight is still in it)
Pikachu, pokémon trainer. (i want Mewto back and tbh i would like it if we had Pichu, who can evolve or not into Pikachu or something like that+Zoroark/other)
Pit (hopefully also Palutina/Magnus/Medusa)
Fox, Falco. (hopefully Wolf is out and Krystal/Floppy in.)
Captain Falco
Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong. (i hope King K. Rool and Dixie Kong will be added)
Marth. (I hope Ike stays, and Roy/Lin comes in it)
Mr Game & Watch
Samus/Zero Suit Samus (i would like to see Ridley)
Olimar & Pikmin (i hope maybe Louie/some of the new ones from Pikmin 3 will be added)
Ness (i hope Lucas stays and one of Earthbound gets added)
Im not sure about these returning:
Pichu/Roy/Dr. Mario/Toon Link/Young link/Wolf/Jigglypuff/Ike/Snake/Sonic/Meta Knight/ROB
But i hope SOnic stays and Amy and Tails gets added.
and im hoping for more characters…Much more.
Bro. We should keep Wolf. He is the most bad ass pilot in the Lylat System. Don’t fuck with him. Also I main Wolf. And of course, Sakurai, try to take wolf out and- CAN’T LET YOU DO THAT, SAKURAI.
i see what u did there…
Jigglypuff was in all three games, so she (he, it) whatever the gender is gonna be on SSB Wii U and 3DS. R.O.B. is one I can’t say for sure. Everyone wants Roy back, I guess. Meta Knight was a fucking beast in Brawl, and Lucas needs to stay. Sonic too.
Everyone wants Roy back because he was overpowered. All Roy was was Marth with a fire sword. Marth was one of the fastest characters in Melee, and combining his speed with Roy’s power made him overpowered.
Guess Marth is all about speed and Roy is all about power.
Wolf is so badass, he’s just the best Starfox character in Smash Bros.
Well to me the best Starfox character in SSB is Falco.
Wolf is meh to me, Fox too.
lol
I dont think they will remove any characters… Especially not MetaKnight
I really hope so… and I hope he’ll keep his god tier status! fits him!
hehe… meta kight got the tiger
Toon Link was my main. I don’t really care if he’s Toon or not, as long as he has a similar move-set and speed and is some form of Link.
I know it probably won’t happen but please Sakurai bring in NEKU AND OTHERS from THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU, how awesome would it actually be if you played as Neku on the top screen attacking the character and could actually also fight with Shiki on the bottom screen or she could somehow provide him with items. PLEASE. I LOVE THIS GAME, PLEASE.
Agree… I really want Neku! He’s only appeared on Nintendo consoles, so it’d make sense.
They should let capcom help make it that way they can release a new roster every six months after the game comes out
I bet noone wants it to be like a CoD game were they release a new one each year.
as long as you bring back every character from melee and brawl and you put in Zoroark, im ok with anyone else you add.
Dat MetaKnight
………..Yeahhh…Zoroark could be the replace for Lucario. It’s obvious anyway.
MAGAMAN ALL THE WAY!!!!
I hope they keep metaknigh, him havingthe cheat and being the best charecter and all. Ilove mynintendonews!!!!!!!
Best character in Brawl was Meta Knight, I doubt he will stay on the next Smash Bros.
Roy plz! Bring my Melee main back!
Can’t Smash without Sheik/Zelda.
Luigi amd Sonic with Knuckles!
Pikachu!
Pikachu is boss.
He also was my main on all three Smash Brothers.
i want to see a skull kid or happy mask salesman as a new character.
As long as Meta knight is there im happy, although personally, I think it’d be really cool to see Midna from Twilight Princess in the game as well.
i agree with you about midna she should be in the game
yeah i said that since brawl came out, i even came up with her final smash. a twilight portal opens behind her sucking in near by fighters and finally it cut to a quick cut scene like captain falcon’s where she morphs into the big twilight beast and with the spear stabs the sucked in played, cuts back to the battle field and off they fly off the side of the stage. that would be epic!
all i want if for Pit and Roy to be in it!!!
ew okay yall dumb!!! MEWTWO is obviously not coming back!! Mewtwo got replaced by lucario so obviously lucario is gonna get replaced by like Zoroark.
Any character that has been in smash bros at least twice is for sure returning!
Pichu is dumb! It’s basically small Pikachu who takes damage like an idiot. Dr. Mario is dumb as fuck. Roy, marth, ike are the same thing. And so is falco and wolf. need to get rid of all these similar characters with similar moves and everything. Come on 3 characters with the same special (the landmaster)
Um, I can agree about Pichu, but Falco? Nope.
Ike is very different from marth and roy.
they are all different.
you’d know that if you played as all of them.
Bring us back Young Link pleaseeeeee,and add Skull Kid from Majora’s Mask as a new character
ROY AND PICHU!!!
Sora or Riku! They’ve been on 3DS so they qualify
as long as if their is a game
Pingback: Masahiro Sakurai Working Hard to Bring Old Favourites to New Smash Bros. Games - Push-Start
Maybe for a setlist it’d be:
Zelda series: Majora&SkullKid, Ghirahim
Mario series: Bowser Jr.,Rosaline
Pokémon series: Mew, Electabuzz
Leaving of course final smash movements and all :3
..Why Electabuzz.. ??
GHIRAHIM! ALL OF MY WANT! XD
Add Young Link with fierce deity final smash. Then all will be good.
^ This
King K Rool, maybe Skullkid as an assist trophy or something?
I too was almost certain Megaman was gonna be a third-party playable character in Brawl..
None of this new-gen crap, Nintendo; You guys all know you rocked the 90s
I think Mewtwo should come back. DEFINITELY keep Pokemon Trainer, Link and Zelda too. And of course all the classics from the original. I think Jigglypuff should be take out, it was the weakest and most useless character. I think they should add Knuckles since Sonic was put in there and maybe a few more DECENT people. It would be interesting to have a much larger character selection added on to the ones SSB, Melee and Brawl already have.
Oh noes! Why take Jiggly out? The Pokémon is a god with Rest….Kirby was also weak.
Kirby is much stronger than jigglypuff… i do like the pokemon characters but jiggly is so useless…
To me, Kirby was my 2nd best character in SSB. From Melee to SSBB, I used Pikachu. Kirby was so….weak to me on both. His moves on Melee and Brawl, bleh. I liked the drill foward air he did on SSB64. I want that back on SSB Wii U and 3DS.
yeah he was much stronger in ssb but in my opinion he’s still stronger than jigglypuff. and yes i want that back too >.>
I know.
Uhm… Link and Kriby :). My fav characters :D
boo or king boo would be cool so would hammer bro but get rid of pichu and dr mario
Do the new older toon Link from Skyward Swooooord
Oh! And Fi as assist trophy
Would be so awesome! o.o
Of course she would be just like resetti and talk… :P cuz that’s all she did in skyward sword
What if she did like some kind of fireball attack, like when she used the sacred flames and flew around the room? Or she could dance around the stage and give off “pulses”, like DK’s final smash, where the music beat would damage players. I just want Fi in it! >.<
Groose would be awesome too! He would just fall and land on your enemies.
Ghirahim, Skull Kid (Majora’s Mask), Groose, Demise, Impa, Bowser Jr., Krystal, Roy or Eliwood, Lyndis, Micaiah, Goku (3rd party xD), Phoenix Wright (?), Knuckles, tails or Shadow, Zoroark, Koopa Troopa, Rosalina, King K. Rool, Bomberman, Megaman, Toon Zelda/Tetra, Knuckle Joe, Vaati, Dimentio, Ridley, General Zelgius/Black Knight, Amigo (Samba), Dr. Eggman, Maya Fey.
please put Geno in this time Sakurai, Please!? He was so close to being in brawl..
please have Geno, sonic in the game and ill be very happy
need mewtwo and roy back(since marth’s fighting style and moves slightly changed in brawl they could just keep roy’s moves the same from melee), skull kid and knuckles put in. and stop bitching about characters from 3rd party systems you nerds.if it’s possible for them to be in the game lets hope they make it in the game.also lets make the entire game play more like melee then brawl. brawl was ok….but melee was released in 2001 and still hold sup to this day.
I’d enjoy not being teased with Mother characters, like Ness or Lucas, seeing as how America refuses to release those games for us here.
Although some of these are unlikely to actually make it into the game, Skull Kid, Banjo (and Kazooie), Bomberman, Bowser Jr. and Majora’s Mask (young) Link (with different forms via masks) would be sweet!
Anyone else think that Mario’s cape should be a tanooki tail swing instead?
Scrap clone moves, make new movesets. Luigi could have vacuum, Young Link could have a transform move (kind of like pokemon trainer except with masks), Ganandorf’s b should be a projectile that has a large blast radius, but low knockback/projectile speed, etc.
I really want the pokemon trainer in it and it should have either the fifth generation pokemon:snivy, pignite, and samurott or the 2nd gen pokemon: cyndaquil, croconaw, and meganium
Bring the greatest pokemon of all time, HERACROSS to the game. It will the best SSB of all time Sakurai it does that.
Lol no. Bring Gallade to the game. jk, Heracross is a good choice.
No, No. I want the strongest, most legendary, most dominating Pokemon of all time, MAGIKARP!
magikarp o:
just bring them all back and add a lot of new characters such as megaman
change clones moves!!!
MRAIO WRECKING CREW !!!!!!!!!
I want Wolf, Fox, Mario, Toon Link, Jigglypuff, Ness, Pikachu, Samus (not zero suit) and Captain Falcon, addd Dr. Mario as a costume and I’d be in heaven if Lloyd Irving gets added into the game.
lloyd would be epic :O
but i perfer emil or w.e his name is cause for his final smash he could go into rattosk mode however u spell it and do some serious damage
Would be so cool if Galacta Knight was in the next Smash Bros!
I’d like to see Mewtwo back, that would be cool. Roy is great, but as far as swordsman go, Link is my choice (though his jump could use a little work. You don’t know how many times I’ve tried to get back on stage and fallen because of his spin attack -_-). It would be cool to see another Metroid character, like a Space Pirate or something. Maybe Starfy ;)
Can they just re-release Melee with more characters, stages, events, trophies, and online support? Like… the same game with more features. Because Melee is the best SSB game. Same engine and everything.
try out project m? it’s basically what you just described.
http://projectm.dantarion.com/ it’s loads of fun and the community is great :D wherever there is a melee tourney they usually whip out project m afterwards for friendlies.
i hope he brings mewtwo back he was my favorite character in melee please no lucario
mewtwo,zoroark and victini wouldbe better choices
if sonic isnt in this one, whiny sonic fans will cry and whine about how they hate smash bros now because they kicked sonic out.so i say leave sonic in the game.
Probably not much of a possibility… but I’ve always wanted to see Tails added. But not be stuck in some dumb ass mech. Actually out and fighting like the rest of them. He never had mechs on the Genesis. He never NEEDED them. Make the mech a final smash or something. Or better yet, scrap the mechs altogether and give him his Super/Turbo Tails mode from Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
As far as old Smash characters to bring back? ROY. That is, unless you can just go ahead and bring em all back :U
why dont you just put all of the characters in ssb history into the new game so no one will complain
It would be very difficult to see many characters go, and it would be great to see many characters return. How about, in addition to the new roster, Nintendo create new character, music, and stage DLC? That way the game can feel refreshing to play, and seeing other characters being used may encouraged other players to purchase said DLC. If we’re simply talking about characters we would like to see, here are a few that I think have potential as new characters: Zoroark (Pokémon), Ghirahim (Zelda), Demise (Zelda), and Banjo & Kazooie.
It’s not really an old character… but if they had the Star Fox from Melee pushed into the Wii-U one, i’ll be more than happy.. And Marth, with Mr. Game &Watch (Brawl version, obviously) . Also, it wouldn’t hurt to have Young Link back with his awesome fire arrows!
Would be great to see Ghirahim, perhaps a couple more Kid Icarus characters like Magnus. I would personally scrap Toon Link, all he is is a faster version of Link with ever so slightly different styles to his attacks (i.e. normal boomerang instead of Gale).
And although it will almost certainly never happen, a couple Okami characters like Amaterasu and Waka (or Oki, or Nagi, or Susano… that said, Susano = ultimate joke character) would be cool.
Just do your best and I’ll be happy. :)
put some unova pokemon in the pokeball mix and i’ll be happy, and also a unova pokemon as a fighter like um how bout another pokemon trainer?
Mr. Sakurai, I believe the Wii U will have plenty space to bring all of them, like Mewtwo and Pichu! But also, you should bring great icons that made history in Nintendo Consoles like Megaman, Klonoa and Tails! Oh, and I always dreamed with a Smash game where each “color costume” would actually be a diferent version of that character, like choosing “Link” it could be changed to Ocarina Link, Toon Link, Skyward Link etc. Hope it come true, the Wii U can do that! :D
Well I think Kid Icarus will probably become a large franchise. Pit, Palutena, Viridi, Phosphora, Arlon, Thanatos, Medusa, Hades, Dark Pit, Magnus, Pyrrhon, and Amazon Pandora are all qualified fighters. I don’t think Nintendo will have any trouble representing that franchise.
What would be cool is to implement another game-play element such as the Smash Orbs, but have the characters utilize items unique to them. For example, instead of FLUDD given to Mario in Brawl, have him utilize his suits from the Super Mario games instead. Maybe, Fox can have his staff from SFA. Maybe Samus can change into different suits as well. Maybe Link can actually use the power of the Master Sword.
Just a suggestion. Might be kind of cool.
Yoshi needs a better moveset….. ._.
Meh, I don’t think that might happen.
Bring back the Melee announcer. PLEASE!
ya!
they must have ike, link, and metaknight!!!!!!!!!!!!!
King K. Rool better be in there!
King K. Rool better be in there.
And Zero (Zero Suit Samus)!
Bomberman!
I just want all the versions of Link in there…Like Ocarina of Time Adult Link, Young Link, Toon Link, Twilight Princess Link, and Skyward Sword Link all in one palette (square) that can be switched with the X or Y button. And they are all different in their own ways. With Twilight Princess Link with the Gale boomerang, Skyward Sword Link can dash really fast, Toon Link is light and has floaty arrows, and so on. That, would be my dream to see.
you missed retro link.
Megaman, Simon Belmont and Alucard from Castlevania, Jimmy and Billy from Double Dragon, Battletoads, Bill or Lance from Contra
oh, can’t forget about DIllon from rolling western
BRING BACK ROY!!!!
and also link should be one character but instead of color changes, you should make it different builds of link, for example instead of red blue green it should be skyward sword link, twilight princess link, toon link, ocarina of time link, and a game and watchesque link to the past link! :)
I think it’s time Krystal from Star Fox makes her debut…She should have been in SSBB.
Leave Kirby, Link and Cpt. Falcon. They’re part of the original crew and it wouldn’t be Super Smash without a few of them!
Banjo and Kazooie sounds like an interesting idea… I would definitely use them… Just have Yoshi, Kirby, and some kind of Link, and I’ll be happy.
How about this…. A transformation system like zelda/sheik? For all characters. Each transformation could have different types of attacks in different styles. Example: Mario(balanced attacks and defense) to Dr. Mario(Powerful magic like attacks, Low Defense) to Metal Mario(High defense and powerful but slow attacks). Or Adult Link(Balanced attacks and defense) to Wolf Link/Midna(Powerful magic with low defense) to Young/Toon Link fast and agile with low attack)… I think it would be a great upgrade. As far as new characters… I know rare prolly still owns it but… Any Jet Force Gemini Character. I want to see this so bad.
my list…
1. pacman
2. bomberman
3. king k.rool
4. cranly kong
5. ridley
6. bowser jr.
What I want is like 100 character roster. lol

Okay, so we now have NFC and DLC available with Nintendo games, so after that main list is maid, what if they offered special characters through the NFC. Get an anime figurine, play as goku or something. Those pokemon key chains and cards could allow other favorite pokemon in. But this would only be with those characters Nintendo isn’t sure about, this way, the third parties who use this get funding from the figures and Nintendo gets the software profits. Just thinking about it in a marketing way and it makes sense. Also, it would make those figures worth getting. That way everyone can get their favorite characters that may not have been included by Nintendo. Smash Bros was originally a Japanese only game, so I wouldn’t be surprised if amines got in on this. Anyone who watched dragonball z tell me that you wouldn’t wanna have goku as a character. Super saiyan final smash or spirit bomb. It’s so fitting. At least offer these guys through NFC. Come on, all you guys know this’d be awesome. All your favorite characters that miss the main roster, a scan away from joining the fight
Goku would be awesome, and with his massive amount of moves.. I can’t even imagine what I would do xD. Think about a kamehameha wave like Samus’ charge cannon. The longer you hold it, the more powerful it gets. And maybe throw in Kaioken as a short power up just like the anime, you can use it for maybe 5 seconds, and then wait another 2 minutes to use it again.
That’s what I was hoping or everytime you buy a new game say idk a dragon ball or Lego game there’s a card where you can add that character to the roster.
Hell no! Sakurai already said that 4th Party characters like him are unacceptable.
If i were Nintendo i would put Ezio (or why not the three assassins?) and Rayman in the game, Ubisoft is going to give us a lot of games for Wii U so they deserve it; from Capcom Megaman, characters from Resident evil (Leon, Chirs, Jill,etc.) and from Monster Hunter maybe Cha-cha, they give us Resident evil 6 in Wii U and Capcom wins all the publicity from Smash Brothers
just make sure sonic is in there and maybe shadow and maybe tag team matchs like give the select button a tag in tag out feature some thing the a button cant do for once becuse to me the select buttons kinda dead
put sonic amd shadow in and maybe tag in tag out features for the select button for tag matchs so its the one thing the a button cant do
We need King Krool in the next smash…
For what’s worth this quote has been taken out of context…
Sakurai was responding to this question.
“You have mentioned how you like to breathe new life into forgotten franchises. Now that Kid Icarus has been completed, what other old classic would you like to look at? Ice Climbers, Star Tropics, MoleMania…or something non-Nintendo?”
He’s referring to bring back old franchises. Not old Smash Characters.
If you mean ”bring back old franchises,” how about Earthbound/Mother?
2006 (Mother 3) is downright infantile, compared to the age (not to mention obscurity) of Nintendo’s other forgotten proprieties.
I hope Foreman Spike is in SSB4.
Take Sonic Out, Nobody likes him hes only good for Spamming. Add Waddle-Dee and Krystal BUT Keep Kirby.
Personally, there are some characters i don’t see why they’d bring back:
ZSSamus, Sheik (only because of Impa), Pkmn Trainer’s current pokemon, Yoshi, Ice Climbers, Lucario, Toon Link, R.O.B., and JIGGLYPUFF!! She was popular when the 1st Smash came out, she’d sing on the episodes, put Team Rocket to sleep and all. But those days are looooooooooooooong gone and there are TOO many MUCH better/ cooler/ more appropriate pkmn to consider. Heated… sorry…
Please keep Zelda in the next installment. If you can actually, keep the characters that were in Brawl and just add more!
I feel that if they’re read & pondered daily – their ideals will soon become evident in our lives – and we’ll internalize them.
GEEEEEENNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!
Less pokemon and more female characters, thats is all
Yes please. SSB is a total sausage fest.
I approve! :D
Theres only one new character we need. His name is Paper Mario
Seriously why is everyone so obsessed with some stupid unimportant wooden character, Geno? He is dead for AGES.
PUT IN MIDNAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! MIDNA! MIDNA! I don’t care if she’s an imp or her true form!
Skull kid with majoras mask and fierce dieety link
to help use clones of chaters like ex gandorfe is aclon of captin falcon
HIRE THE PROJECT M DEV TEAM
If they do bring in megaman I hope they call him by his real name, Rockman.
aahhhh it make’s me dream come ture thank you masahiro sakurai for bring old characters back to the next super smash bros for Wii U and 3DS
To Mr. Sakurai, I wish you the best of luck in creating the great 4th edition to the Super Smash Brothers franchise. I myself am a huge SSB and Nintendo fan, and like many other people, I have my own Wish List for who I want to see as Playable.
But since this post here regards old characters, I’ll leave it at that. I really don’t want to see anyone go, but I hope that Bowser, Pit, Sonic, Meta Knight, Peach, Wario, R.O.B., Diddy, and Olimar stay in SSB4. I already know that the Original 12 aren’t going anywhere, so they’re safe.
I also have created a blog devoted to Super Smash Brothers since about February this year. In it, I have my own in-depth look at which characters should deserve to stay, and which new characters should be added as well.
http://smashkingbman.blogspot.com/
Feel free to browse through it at your leisure, and I hope that a post or two may inspire you. To my fellow Smash Fans, feel free to check it out too!
And once again, Mr. Sakurai, I wish you, Project Sora, and all of Nintendo, luck and happiness in all of your future endeavors. I await more news with baited breath :)
Ah, I must apologize. I misinterpreted the wording of old characters. Might I suggest Takamaru? Or perhaps Balloon Fighter or Alice? Alice would count as part of the Balloon Fight Universe, but add another female to the roster. Maybe even Sukapon could appear…
But there is one old character that I wish was in with every fiber of my being: Geno. I beg of you Mr. Sakurai to try and put him in Smash Bros Wii U/3DS as a Playable Character. I’d be eternally happy and thankful.
And on a side note, Dillon would make an excellent addition as well. Thank you for your time in reading my posts.
But if you want some more famous old characters, I suggest King K. Rool, Captain Syrup, Waluigi, Little Mac, Meowth, Paper Mario, and the Baby Mario Brothers. I particularly want Waluigi, Meowth, and the babies to be playable.
Fire Emblem character plz v.v
Make sure you have bomberman in it and I’ll buy it
I think he means old retro nintendo characters like Duck Hunt Dog, Mike Jones, Takamaru, and Sheriff
princess daisy should get a spot otherwise how would she ever get out of peach’s shadow if rosalina gets a spot before her just because her galaxy powers I’d be pissed but this comment get backlashed because people say daisy will be a peach clone well i’m sick of that excuse if the developer is to simple minded to look through mario games to come up with her own moveset sorry if this comes off as mindless ranting i’m sick of nintendo pushing characters i like to the side why create a character if you are note going to use them or are they afraid she might surpass peach if given a chance just look at her mario strikers charged there finished huff huff just make me so mad.
