Suppose Nintendo puts out a limited time Demo for Smash 4 to boost WiiU sales, what do you think would be in it. Here's the rules.

* Only 4 characters, one of them has to be Mario and one a newcomer (doesn't have to be a confirmed one though ;) ).
* Two Stages
* Free for all and one preview of another other mode.

Who and What would you chose?

Realistically:
Mario, Link, Pikachu and Mega Man
Battlefield and Wily's Castle
Well, other than FFA... teams?

What I want:
:mario:, :marth:, :samus: and

Battlefield and Wily's Castle, I guess.
Training mode would be nice.

Why does everyone put Megaman? I suppose for hype but I would put ...

Characters
Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Samus, Bowser, Pit, Villager, WFT, Megaman

Stages

Battlefield, Smash Circuit, Smashville

2 minute FFA followed by a trailer

No 3DS demo, usually stores only have the Wii U display with demos.

My demo would be this.

All character
All stages
All modes

But you can only play it once before it disappears. Also the demo will kick you out after an hour.

The realistic demo I wait for has:

Mario, Link, Pikachu and Megaman. (Kirby is out to don't spoil its copy move, MegaMan is obligatory)
Battlefield and the Boxing Arena.
3 minutes Free for All and maybe a stage from the Adventure Mode.

But a more fanserviced demo would have the 12 E3 Characters (Mario, Link, Pikachu, Kirby, Bowser, Samus, Fox, Pit, Donkey Kong, Villager, Megaman and WFT).

Mario, Mega Man, Kirby, Villager.
Battlefield.
5 items: Ray Gun, Homerun Bat, Crate, Fire Flower, Koopa Shell.
2 Minute match.

3DS might get a downloaded demo in the Eshop.
Wii U gets demos too yaknow. Infact, I know some guys that'd buy Wii Us for a SSB4 demo.

Anyways, I'd choose Mario, Bowser, Pit, and Megaman for characters, Palutena's temple and Wily castle for stages, and a demo version of the new adventure mode.

3 minute matches only.
Battlefield and Boxing Arena only available stages.
Very few items available.
Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Samus, Fox, Pikachu and Pit are the only playable vets.
Villager and Wii Fit Trainer are the only playable newcomers.
Kirby not playable because of new inhale item system.
Peach, Olimar, Zelda and King Dedede have new changes to be kept secret.
New Bowser buffs to remain secret.
Marth, Luigi, Toon Link, Lucario, Sonic remain secret characters.
Mega Man, Rosalina & Luma and Little Mac remain secret.

This would be ideal.
You have a number of vets that can help calibrate the new gameplay style.
Two newcomers to play around with.
Neutral stages and classic items.

5 characters: Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Megaman
1 stage available
2 modes:
- 2 minute point FFA with items (Ray Gun, Homerun Bat, Maximum Tomato, Koopa Shell)
- Beginning of adventure mode (first scroll stage and first fight)

I'd doubt we'll get a demo though, I feel like Smash is the type of game that would only lose sales with putting a demo out.

-Mario, Pit, Mega Man, Bowser.
-Battlefield and Boxing Ring
-FFA and 2v2 Team Battles

That's my non-biased list. Let's face it; we already seen Mario and Mega Man via that small footage of Sakurai playing. Bowser's there as the villain, not to mention he has new moves to show off. Pit also has new moves to show, but would be a change of pace.

I wouldn't want a demo. I don't want anything to even very slightly taint my first experience with the game!

Mario, Link, Mega Man, and Mac. Only Battlefield and Final Destination (if it's in, otherwise Boxing Ring). Modes are FFA and Team Battles, and you can choose between Timed and Stock, limited to 2 minutes and 3 stock, respectively.

I didn't edit this because I realized I went against the rules. Nope. Not at all.
please don't hurt me

Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, Little Mac.

But honestly, I'd expect at least 6 characters and 3 stages from an official demo. The demos for Nintendo's other first party titles have been quite meaty.

I rather have a 3DS demo, far more curious to see how it plays on a handheld system. & no one's gonna buy a Wii U just to play a demo anyway.

Mario
Link
Pikachu
Little Mac (Mega Man's too big a deal to give out for free)

Battlefield
Super Mario 3D Land stage (to demonstrate how complex stages get)

FFA
Team battle

Megaman, Villager, WFT, Mario. That would've been ideal for an E3 demo last year.

Mario, Link, Little Mac, Mega Man (Two newcomers, two vets.)
The Ring and Skyloft as stages.
Also includes first three stages of Classic mode in additional to the FFA.

Mario, Link, Villager, Dedede.

Mario and Link should be standard. Villager is a newcomer and relatively small to show off smaller characters. Dedede gets in over Kirby to show off a larger character. I chose him over Bowser so no series gets more than one demo rep. And DK is close enough to a Mario rep that I opted against him as well.

As for stages, Battlefield and Garden of of Hope.

A classic Smash stage and a stage without a demo rep.

If I could add a fifth playable character to the demo, it would be Pikachu.

As for modes, a basic three minute Brawl and a shorter version of Classic mode. Perhaps with a boss character that is playale in the final version but not the demo? If he's playable, Ridley would be a perfect choice here.

Somewhere on Discord while working on something
Characters: Mario, Kirby, Fox, Mega Man
Stages: Battlefield, Wily's Castle, on 3DS replace Wily's Castle with whatever Mega Man stage (if there is one on the 3DS)
Modes: Able to be played with 3 stocks or 3 minutes.

i'll make an unrealistic one later

though a douche move would be to have one demo say "Go to the other demo"
