We aren't talking about third party...

But you talked about Bubble Bobble. That's third party.

 

[Will]

I don't really expect any specific retro characters. Not to say I don't think we'll get one. Just that I don't see anyone in particular standing out from any of the others.



Bubbles from Clu Clu Land....I guess. Duck Hunt Dog could work.



I would see something similar to Ghost Rider to a degree.

Looks like you ninja'd me. I am sad.

 

[BluePikmin11]

His blaster fires at the speed of a machine gun

I guess we should give up Takamaru because we already have a sword user whose swings his sword swiftly as the samurai.

And I guess Bubbles is out because he's round.

[LoneKonWolf]

metaknight and Jigglypuff deconfirmed because of saturns logic

 

[Will]

They aren't even confirmed yet...

 

[Kenith]

You can't forget Urban Champion:

I can, and I did.

 

[Louie G.]

Unfortunately he's the most unoriginal retro available. A Captain Falcon with

Guns
Grenades
and a Motor Cycle

But what if he stayed on his motorcycle 24/7?
For all his moves? He could revisit the ol' Excitebiker idea, but make it Mach instead.

That would be pretty awesome. Though I imagine that a few moves would be hard to pull off on a bike properly. Like the Jab and Forward tilt.

Just punch on the bike.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Bubbles? Bubble Bobble? Duck Hunt Dog?

Also, I bet Mach Rider would be a Captain Falcon cone. Just look at his overall body type and the concept of that frustrating game.

 

[Louie G.]

Takamaru, Mach Rider, Lip, and Muddy Mole are the best options, and they all have merits.
But all merits are overpowered by NINTENDO LAAAAAND.

 

[NickerBocker]

Only acceptable retros: Jimmy and Billy (Bimmy) from Double Dragon 2

 

[Knight Dude]

Just punch on the bike.

True, but it might look a little awkward on a bulky motorcycle. I can see the Excite Bike guy having an easier time fighting, since his vehicle is less cumbersome to maneuver around.

Monita confirmed!

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Monita confirmed!

Her Final Smash: "Check the controls! Times is up! Welcome to Nintendo Land! This is Pikmin Adventure! Here's the Golden Helmet!" *shot*

 

[Kenith]

Takamaru, Mach Rider, Lip, and Muddy Mole are the best options, and they all have merits.

This. The fact there were so few attractions in that game the fact that one was still dedicated wholly to Murasame Castle says something.

 

[James92]

You can't forget Urban Champion:

My pick for a retro character. But if I had to pick a more likely character, I'd go with either Lip, Takamaru, or Duck Hunt Dog.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

You can't forget Urban Champion:

Kinda wish Nintendo would though.

 

[Headcrab Jackalope]

Monita confirmed!

Is it bad that I actually want this?

(Also I have a new avatar)

 

[Kenith]

If we get Takamaru as the retro character, we HAVE to get Little Mac to just for juxtaposition.

 

[N3ON]

Let's not pretend any retro character is even close to as likely as Takamaru is. He's not the only option, sure, but for a retro, he has quite a bit in his favour, more than ICs or even Pit did prior to their inclusions, and much more than the majority of his competitors.

There are ofc other fine choices, but hopefully no one is actually getting their expectations up too high for an inclusion that isn't Takamaru.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Monita confirmed!

Lil Mac's Final Smash is becoming a McDonalds Big Mac.

Bimmy and jimmy.
Bimmy.
Bimmy.
BIMMY.

 

[JamesDNaux]

I've been trying different methods of roster organization, this time I went for the Melee approach:

I don't think it looks good at all with so many characters, but what do you guys think?

 

[BluePikmin11]

Floating futuristic television heads with only one hand are unique and would be very diverse for the Smash cast.
Her moveset could bring influence from many amusement parks and rides.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

But what if he stayed on his motorcycle 24/7?

How do you even.

 

[Will]

Bimmy and jimmy.

2nd F-Zero > 4th Star Fox

2nd F-Zero > 4th Star Fox

Did you ignore where I said this was about the organization?

 

[AncientTobacco]

Star Fox really shouldn't get any more reps.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

Takamaru, Mach Rider, Lip, and Muddy Mole are the best options, and they all have merits.

I still don't even.

That's some horrible organisation.

 

[TheLastJinjo]

I guess we should give up Takamaru because we already have a sword user whose swings his sword swiftly as the samurai.

Hey, if Sakurai thinks he's too similar, it doesn't matter if he's technically not according to us.

Did you ignore where I said this was about the organization?

You didn't say the roster was based off of that. Simply that you were trying a new way of organization.

Just punch on the bike.

Dude. This playing as floating hand and bike concept. I don't even. Master Hand being able to fall, be launched, grabbed, and spun around? A Bike being able to all the same things as a character? I don't even.

 

[Kenith]

Lil Mac's Final Smash is becoming a McDonalds Big Mac.

I have never heard that joke in all my years.

How do you even.

I think they're trying too hard.

I don't quite see how this was organized Melee-style, considering Melee's roster was primarily horizontally aligned while this seems to be sort of jumbled, but the characters themselves are pretty good picks all and all. Lip and Krystal are a bit questionable imo, though nothing terrible.

2nd F-Zero > 4th Star Fox

Either way there are probably better choices.

Did you ignore where I said this was about the organization?

Organization shouldn't dictate character choices, it should be the other way around.

 

[JamesDNaux]

Organization shouldn't dictate character choices, it should be the other way around.

It didn't dictate the choices, I've posted my regular roster before:

I've just been rearranging it in multiple ways. I've always thought Melee's roster to be pretty jumbled too, what with Ganondorf next to Falcon.
