I Love Smash Bros. My ex roommates and I would play it every day. It was always a big thing back in college.
Even to this day some of my friends won't play against me. bc they know I'll destroy them.

Sadly I won't be buying a Wii U for a while.
But when I do get it; I personally would love to have all the characters return (even the ones removed from Brawl)
Dr. Robotnik needs to be in there. MegaMan might be fun.
I'm not sure who else I'd want to see in the new Smash...
But the tripping has got to go.

I hope they...

remove tripping, or make it optional and off by default if people actually think its a good mechanic (for some random reason)


Definitely fix clones, there should be 0 clones in this game, which probably means there can only be 1 link but thats fine with me because i never cared for toon link. Definitely want to see Ganon make it in this game but with a completely remade moveset (the sword he took in twilight princess would be awesome, or some dark magic hand blasts, or both!)

someone mentioned the removal of jigglypuff, that will never happen, jigglypuff has been in every smash game and already has a well established move-set, plus its hilarious.

Pokemon trainer can stay, but bring new pokemon. As much as I miss mewtwo they should stick with the pikachu/jigglypuff/new gen bipedal badass pokemon trio

as some people have mentioned Marth will probably continue to be the face of fire emblem, so I think he should get a more rugged counterpart, Ike was pretty decent and should be treated as the baseline, a heavy bruiser type.

The mario and co roster is big enough as is, nobody should get cut but nothing else should be added.

I don't think Sonic will make a comeback but it wouldnt bother me if he did, but should suck less (and if we go in that direction, I'd like shadow as his COUNTERPART, not clone!)

From Starfox, Crystal would be ok...i guess. But I think they should add or remove one to either make it a duo or a full team of four. Considering Falco has been in 2 games, he could probably stick around provided he loses his clone status fully, otherwise keep wolf and remove falco.

Definitely keep the Zero Suit Mechanic, she was a character of her own without "increasing" the roster.

Ness is enough to represent a relatively small and less known series like earthbound, so Lucas can go.

Characters I would like to see, and be fixed.
Mario:
Paper Mario (seriously has enough moves to be different from Mario).

Zelda:
Just give Ganondorf a new moveset.
And Toon Link has to go.

Starfox:
Remove Falco and Wolf, add Krystal

Kirby:
Good, fix Metaknight.

Donkey Kong:
K. Rool (The main villain of Donkey Kong and he still hasn't been added)?

F. Zero:
Good

Fire Emblem:
Marth is staying
Ike is probably going to be replaced by Chrom

Pokemon:
New X and Y pokemon to replace Lucario

Mother:
Remove Lucas

Third Party:

Simon Belmont

Megaman

Travis Touchdown

Either Jack from Madworld or Bayonetta.

Maxwell from Scribblenauts

I'm probably going to be fine with whomever they put into the game.
As long as they add rather than substitute/remove/replace.

As for mechanics, I'd like it to feel like a hybrid between Melee and Brawl.
The removal of tripping would be sublime, having a soundtrack that doesn't fit the main theme absolutely everywhere would also be a plus.

See, Nintendo?
I ain't that unreasonable.

His final smash writes itself. If anyone's thinking of anything other than smashing the stage with the moon, they you're WRONG!

Also, I'd like to se emsot of the character additions mentionedin this thread.
I wish Rare was still with Nintendo. Banjo's moveset is perfect.
Amen, it would be nice to break from the standard array of zelda characters. Getting the moon to crash land would never get old either, it would a giant "guess what's happening? SCREW YOU" to your friends.

But christ, I would have loved to have had banjo in this game. Just seems like a very appropriate character for the gameplay and setting. (oh, and the fact that I grew up with Banjo Kazooie on the N64)

But really, I just want the game to not have that stupid trip mechanic, because when I screw up and lose a game from my own faults, its funny and/or deserved, but if I lose a game because of a mechanic that screws me up a pivotal time, its frustrating.

Am I the only one o thinks that Bomberman would be a great addition? I know he's not strictly Nintendo but he's been a well known character on every Nintendo console ever...

Also a few things
Remove tripping... Dumbest 'feature' ever added to a game
No more clones. Similar moves are ok, but identical or nearly indentical moves are lazy.
Smash balls need to be less common... A very rare, once per game thing would be nice but they happen way too often even when all items are rare
Good online play. Effective matchmaking and lag fixed.

Most importantly:

Balance!

Nintendo needs to maintain the game. Fix characters that are obviously broken (Metaknight being banned from tournaments because he's too good, and Bowser being unplayablely bad). I'd like to see Nintendo building the game with competitive play in mind. It would be nice if all characters were at least close to viable and balanced.

I'm stoked for the Wind Waker remake and can't wait for it to be out. I wasn't much a fan for Skyward Sword. It used some interesting ideas and they were well executed, I just prefer using a normal controller. Also, it's just my personal opinion, but I don't like Skyward Sword's art very much. I don't personally think the art directions from Twilight Princess and Wind Waker mesh very well. I don't think they're going to make Wind Waker into another Phantom Hourglass, though(that would piss me off most highly), but as far as I've heard so far it's just a Wind Waker remake with some GamePad integration. I'd assume much to the effect of OoT3D, for easier inventory and the like.
Yeah, I think I prefer the Wind Waker art style by a long way, just because I love the bright and colourful aesthetic for my Zelda. I despise Phantom Hourglass, I was kind of expecting something a bit like Minish Cap, which is easily my favourite zelda game and one of my favourites of all time.

Honestly I'll be glad if it's just a remake, some new stuff would be nice but I don't have my own copy of Wind Waker and this makes it so I don't really need a gamecube copy.

I think there'll be some extra stuff coming with it, possibly a collectors edition of some kind.

Add Travis Touchdown (A rising star to many video game fans) and Raichu (they had Pichu who sucked and Pikachu obviously, so why not their bad-ass evolution?) into the game and all will be perfect!

I do hope the online part is fixed, I might play it with some friends here on the Escapist if the online isn't complete arse.
The MiiVerse is great from what I've used, I can't say much because my internet is being very tempermental and they're working on the lines, but I'll get back to you on it, I'm working on review/overview of the system I'll be sure to let you know how the online multiplayer is but I've heard little about it.

Kinda expecting it to be laggy because my wifi is shitty. I got no friends on it yet anyway :3 lol
We can play when I get mine (which won't be until some of the recently announced games are out for it)
Can't wait to whup you with Luigi :p everybody knows he's the champ.

The MIiverse servers and stuff got better at around 3am when my internet would stay alive for more than 5 minutes.

As long as Luigi stays, I'm happy.

If Mega Man is going to be in it, he'd better be Classic style or I'm going to be annoyed. He's already got a great move-set, all the different team colours, and fantastic potential stages.

Of course it's not going to happen, but I still want to see Banjo and Kazooie in a Smash Bros. game at some point.

I believe I heard somewhere that they don't want a large roster.

Upon hearing that, I cried many manly tears.
On the contrary, I think that's the best thing to do. It's a fact that, with any fighting game, the more fighters, the more samey, trivial, and pointless each one becomes.

On the other hand, I'd prefer there to be a SHED load of levels + music tracks.

Ah that kinda sucks for you means no Miiverse, it's a really nice thing that with it's gestapo mods instantly vanquishing the dick pictures.

I may give darksiders 2 a crack on it I hear it's better with the touch pad taking away the bullshitty menus that plague the PC version.

I don't have nintendoland, would you say it's worth picking up for around £30? Cuz it did look like a lot of fun.

I just hope they include Raichu (I want him dammit!) and Travis Touchdown (the true otaku bad-ass) I don't excel with anyone *hangs head in shame* Except maybe Kirby.
I don't really excel with anybody there's just a few characters like Luigi and Toon Link that I know most moves for and can use competently.

Everybody excels with Kirby because Kirby is a badass. He is the Whitebeard of the Smash Bros world.

Raichu would be pretty cool actually then I may actually use him, not a big fan of most of the pokemon in it to be honest, I'm hoping for some Conkelldurr or something :D or maybe some Gen 6 pokes!

I also hope they fix Pikachu so no one will just spam DOWN B DOWN B DOWN B!!!

I will add you when I get a Wii-U, which model should I get?
Oh god I hated that, he's nowhere near as bad as Metaknight though, hate that prick. My friend literally only plays metaknight and I find the best way to counter him is to range spam toon link or just Kirby his face in.

Um, the black one, the one with 32GB onboard flash memory, because you'll have to run your VC games from that and such and it just looks nicer imo. The 8GB the white model has just isn't a lot, if you're interested in zombiu i recommend that bundle cuz it comes witha pro controller too.

There's a good virtual console promo on where theres a game for 30p/30cents/30eurocent each month, Super Metroid and F Zero are on the list for it too! :3

Rare(and by default Microsoft)own the rights to K.Rool and the Kremlings which is also why they were not in Donkey Kong Country Returns.It's doubtful that they'll be in Smash Bros unless Nintendo pony up some dough
