• Smash Bros director apologizes in advance for cut characters

The original pantheon of twelve will never be cut, including the unlockables it needs reiterating that after three igames of recurrence, Jigglypuff, Luigi, Ness, and Captain Falcon will never go
One of my favorite characters in Melee was Mewtwo. I didn't expect him to come back in this game, but I admit that I had a slight hope. Well, not anymore, at least.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;41143872] Maybe toss out [B]Dedede[/B], ROB, and Pokemon Trainer (all his 'mon must be hard to balance right anyways). [/QUOTE] Dedede ain't going nowhere because Sakurai voices him
It's great to play with some fresh new characters in my opinion. But if they had to cut some chars, my pick would be Lucario, R.O.B., Diddy Kong, Lucas or Ness (too similar), Ike or Marth (too similar), Fox/Wolf/Falco (one of them is enough) and please PLEASE cut Olimar because he is so useless. Perhaps also Mr Game & Watch. While he is certainly strong, his visuals are very boring even if they are intended to be like this.
if its snake im gonna take a deep breath and punch a wall but still buy smash bros anyways because im a sucker like that
[QUOTE=Keychain;41144537]King Dedede is one of the best characters in the game imo.[/QUOTE] he has flight ability, no other heavy characters own it, his recovery covers a lot of height, his aerials and grabs are devastating and he excels in both close and medium range combat. seriously, we're talking about the second best heavy character in the history of super smash bros.
oh fuck they're probably getting rid of mario
RIP LUIGI
Take out Wolf but for god's sake keep Falco. He's my damn main.
Why can't they introduce updates that add new guys in?
Hope they get rid of diddy kong
I hope they do something special for Luigi. It's his fuckin' year after all.
honestly hoping they give ZSS the boot she was a fun mechanic and all, i'm not one of those guys that goes NGUHHH SAMUS CAN'T BE SEXY MY WAIFU NOOOO but if she stays then samus has to be bulky/shit in order for there to be contrast between both forms and i'm really not cool at all with that alternatively just make her a separate character that'd work too
[QUOTE=Simplemac3;41144956]alternatively just make her a separate character that'd work too[/QUOTE] This is optimal
[QUOTE=gman003-main;41143872]Just please, please PLEASE keep Snake.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxw242Njxjs#t=455[/url]
[QUOTE=Vasili;41144862]Why can't they introduce updates that add new guys in?[/QUOTE] DLC done well would be one of the best things they could do to include characters they didn't have time for and for simply adding in new ones. I'd be very optimistic to say for free, but as a title update so that even those who didn't buy the DLC can play VS those who do.
Wolf and Falco should be skins for Fox, also get rid of ROB and Lucas.
[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;41145299]Wolf and Falco should be skins for Fox, also get rid of ROB and Lucas.[/QUOTE] ROB? Why? He's one of my favorites.
I'm pretty sure only newcomers to Brawl have a chance of leaving, and even then it will be clones
All the melee characters will stay and we'll probably get a new a character from the new fire emblem to replace ike (like he replace roy) other than that it's all up in the air. Actually snake will probably not return.
Cut whoever you want, just add Waluigi. Hell, cut Mario.
[QUOTE=SuperLoz;41145714]Cut whoever you want, just add Waluigi. Hell, cut Mario.[/QUOTE] cut mario, add luigi in his place i would buy it twice
I'm expecting Ike to be removed with his moveset going to Ganondorf (so he finally uses a damn sword) and Marth to be replaced by Chrom from FA: Awakening.
PREDICTION TIME 0% chance of getting cut: Bowser, Captain Falcon, Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Falco, Fox, Ganondorf, King Dedede, Kirby, Link, Luigi, Mario, Meta Knight, Peach, Pikachu, Pit, Samus, Shiek, Wario, Yoshi, Zelda VERY VERY VERY LOW chance of getting cut but could happen if Sakurai is drunk: Ice Climbers (old-school gimmick character, most likely to get fucked over by 3DS version limits) Jigglypuff (long past her time/popularity but has veteran status) Lucas (see Ness) Mr. Game and Watch (if anybody, R.O.B. goes before him but most likely to be dropped before anybody else) Ness (was going to be cut from Melee, if Sakurai thinks two PSI shotas is too much either of them could go) IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY will probably get cut before others: Marth (might overlap Chrom if he's added, but reappearing in Awakening makes him likely to stay) Pokemon Trainer (3-for-1 character could be gimped by 3DS, only Charizard has super-popularity, already tons of Pokemon reps, has a lot going against him) R.O.B. (only if necessary, but if someone has to go it'll be him) Sonic (unlikely with the Sega/Nintendo deal but possible) Wolf (same boat as R.O.B., a clone of a clone and a somewhat minor character compared to everyone else in Smash) Zero Suit Samus (add-on to another character, only dropped if necessary to thin the roster) MIGHT get cut to make room for new characters: Ike (for Chrom, though they're so different he could easily stay) Lucario (for Mewtwo or Genesect or anybody else, already too many Pokemon characters) Olimar (for Alph, but he has more games and more recognition so its unlikely) MOST LIKELY not to return: Snake (barely even counts as a Nintendo character, MGS5 not on Wii U, only made it in Brawl because Kojima basically sucked Sakurai's dick verbally, would be nice to keep but unlikely IMHO) Toon Link (in background of Spirit Tracks stage, semi-redundant Link clone, either he's reworked to be unique and use different items or he's cut to make space for newcomers) Overall predictions: Toon Link, Snake, Wolf, Pokemon Trainer, Lucario and MAYBE R.O.B. are out
[QUOTE=AzureAngelic;41146178]PREDICTION TIME Overall predictions: Toon Link, Snake, Wolf, Pokemon Trainer, Lucario and MAYBE R.O.B. are out[/QUOTE]Nix Pokemon Trainer from that and it sounds about right.
ZSS doesn't even take up a slot, I don't see why they'd remove her when she practically comes with Samus at this point. Another thing is due to how crazy strong Samus's final smash is, the transition from Samus to ZSS is sort of the downfall of using the final smash, since if she gets a final smash again, it won't be as effective this time. I really really don't want Samus to be able to snag every smash ball and then insta-gib the entire team with her near-unavoidable final smash.
I'm about 90% sure the article means that they won't be bringing back older clones, like Roy and Young Link. They'll probably replace certain clones with newer versions (i.e. dropping Ike for a new FE character from the 3DS game, as they did to Roy with Ike), but I highly doubt they're going to remove any of the core roster.

If they take away my game and watch. I'll go apeshit.
Hope the Fire Emblem dudes are still there. I personally would like as many characters as they can put in, I don't want this new game feeling like a downgrade from Brawl
