Top 10 Most Wanted Super Smash Bros. 4 Newcomers
Super Smash Bros. games feature a unique blend of characters, each with their own special abilities and moves, making every match an exciting and unpredictable event. But let’s talk about something that’s been on everyone's mind - the newcomers.Who is the most wanted newcomer for Super Smash Bros. 4? Is it a classic Nintendo character yet to make their debut? Or perhaps a character from a third-party franchise, following in the footsteps of Sonic, Mega Man, or Pac-Man? The possibilities are endless.
Shadow the Hedgehog is my favorite character in the Sonic franchise. He is the second most popular Sonic character, behind Sonic himself. Some people say that if he were playable, he would be a complete clone of Sonic. I highly disagree. Yeah, he might have the spin dash and some of Sonic's other abilities, but he also has the Chaos Force.
Imagine his back grab attack: Shadow grabs his opponent, and he could quickly warp behind him and kick him. That would be an awesome reference to that one scene in Sonic 06. Plus, his Chaos Control would be great for warping around the stage. He could charge up a Chaos Spear and then release it for a powerful charge shot.
Sonic Battle shows that he has different attacks he could use with the Chaos Force. For example, he could snap his fingers to spawn a blast of chaos energy in front of him. This would make a great smash attack. His Final Smash should either be Chaos Blast or Super Shadow. I would personally rather have Super Shadow because Shadow's super form hasn't been brought back in four years. It would be great to see it return.
Shadow higher than Megaman? Seriously? The Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has gone straight downhill, while Mega Man, though failing to make the jump to 3D, had creators who at least knew when to stop. Mega Man has been in gaming for over 25 years. By the time Shadow was added to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, various additional, annoying characters had already been tacked on (for those of you who are big fans of Sonic, I need not give examples). This is not to say that Shadow is bad, but he is a side character in a franchise that has gone downhill. When compared to Mega Man, Mega Man is incomparably larger.
Honestly, he's just my favorite character from any video game franchise. There are a lot of preset Robot Master abilities they could give him to make him into a functional (maybe even at the competitive level) character in the Brawl series as well.
Megaman deserves to be #1. He has over 50 games sold. Almost all of them are for Nintendo. He should have been in Super Smash Bros Melee, let alone Brawl. Bottom line, if Megaman isn't in the next Super Smash Bros game, this world is done for. That's all I'm saying. GO MEGAMAN!
Krystal would be an awesome character to include as the fourth StarFox character in the new Smash Bros. game! She would be a middleweight but lighter than Fox, wearing her Assault outfit. She could attack opponents with her staff and also shoot them with her gatling gun. She is my top choice for the next Smash Bros. game, even surpassing Mega Man. I'm not a fan of Mega Man!
Overall, she could use two barriers from StarFox Assault to shield herself from players, and her telepathy would be a cool addition. But to deal massive damage, her staff's Super Ground Quake move would be devastating. This formidable character would go toe to toe with many others in the arena! - Fox Rhea
It would be pretty awesome if they include Krystal in SSB4. She could use her staff and employ the staff's power as Smash Attacks. Besides, they need to include a StarFox character that has different moves. I mean, Fox, Falco, and Wolf have the same attacks. Wolf's may look different, but it is still the same.
And it would be great adding another female character, because it is getting pretty boring having the same 3 1/2 characters since Melee, not to forget that she has a dedicated fanbase.
Mewtwo was meant to be in every Smash game thus far but only actually made it once. So far, Mewtwo has been around since Gen 1 and is making a major comeback with his new evolutions in Gen 6! Lucario was the popular Pokémon during Brawl, but now, an already popular character is gaining even more popularity. Mewtwo is a no-brainer, and even Sakurai is considering him for SSB4!
Mewtwo is the closest thing to an actual villain to represent the Pokémon series (aside perhaps from Meowth). Mario has Bowser, Link has Ganondorf, Kirby has King Dedede, and Fox has Wolf. Pokémon, along with Earthbound, Fire Emblem, Metroid, and Donkey Kong, need a villain to represent the series. All this is unlikely for SSB4, due to roster cuts, but I sure hope these villains make it.
I have to say Mewtwo might have been a bit overpowered, but you can still take away some power and make a perfectly even character. This is what we need in this game. I miss just blasting people away with the shadow ball in Melee. That was fun. Nonetheless, I am sure lots of other people would like to have Mewtwo as a character also. Nintendo, you should think about this one like no other.
Within the handheld games, there was the choice of command choices. The attack range is just so wide from there! Of course, the game couldn't implement all of the attacks, but a decent mixture would do great. He can obviously use magic and his forms. His attacks in Smash could range from his basic hits to his use of magic or command attacks.
And since given the choice of costumes, with all his different drive forms and costume choices (man, especially with his new outfit in Kingdom Hearts 3), he's provided quite a bit of costume choice to the player. His Smash would actually be amazing in his Final Form, seeing as how it is his most powerful. I don't think he'd be overpowered. I believe he will be very balanced out and an enjoyment to play as.
I think Sora would be a great addition to SSB4. His fighting style looks pretty good, and he is the main character in the Kingdom Hearts series and is quite popular among those who play it. Therefore, he should be the representative from Kingdom Hearts to be in Super Smash Bros 4.
Also, I think most people haven't really made this connection, but Sora could use the skill to switch into his Nobody (Roxas) and wield two Keyblades rather than one. This would give him a stronger and more aggressive fighting style. Sora turning into Roxas is like Zelda turning into Sheik. It's a unique and realistic ability for Sora to have. There are many other abilities Sora/Roxas can have, but the transformation is my main concern because I just find that to be really cool.
I feel that King K Rool would be such a great addition to Super Smash Bros. He wouldn't just be another pointless character that brings nothing to the game. King K Rool would be an awesome character with a great moveset. I could see him having a lot of potential. Also, the Donkey Kong series is in need of another representative, and the game is in need of more villains. King K Rool is the perfect solution.
He has more potential for awesome attacks in a single boss fight than most characters do in their entire catalog of appearances. The Donkey Kong series should also get at least as many characters as the inferior Star Fox and Kirby series.
It's about time this blunderbuss-wielding crazed crocodile squared off against his eternal rival Donkey Kong and fellow reptilian badass Bowser. With overwhelming popularity in both America and Japan, his playable appearance in SSB4 is imminent.
Ghirahim is an interesting character. When I fought him in Skyward Sword, he proved to be a formidable opponent. Aside from The Imprisoned, he's my favorite character. I like how he wields his own sword, even though he doesn't actually need one. I think it would be awesome if, before entering battle, he dramatically throws off his cape and flips his bangs.
As for one of his alternate costumes/skins, he should have his demon form. When facing a sword-wielding character like Ike, for instance, he could catch their attacks between his middle and index fingers as a block. Another awesome idea would be his Final Smash, summoning the Imprisoned and riding on its back while sending all players off-screen. One of his taunts should be him sticking his tongue out at his opponent(s).
As for his attacks, he could throw out multiple spades, teleport behind the opponent(s), and repeat the same action. It would be truly amazing if he could catch an opponent in the midst of their attack with a spade line, bringing them closer to him and holding them by their neck while simultaneously dealing damage and taunting them. Moreover, when battling against Link or any other Legend of Zelda character, he should display extra aggressiveness.
Furthermore, Fi should also be included as an assist trophy (although unrelated to Sir Ghirahim, I think it would be cool to have either Fi or Midna as an assist trophy).
Ghirahim would be an excellent addition to the game and would certainly fit in. Additionally, it would be really cool if his theme song was included (assuming custom stages are allowed again, that would be great).
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I sincerely hope Ghirahim makes it into the game!
Come on... You've got to admit it. That combo would be pretty badass. Imagine this: you're at home, playing your new SSB4 game (or whatever it would be called), you're on classic mode, you win, and then - gasp - there's a new character, Bowser Jr., who can transform into Shadow Mario. Hell yeah, you're thinking. Well, gosh dang, just imagine the cool moveset. Clawing, fire-breathing, spinning across in your shell, then, when they least expect it, whoosh, you're Shadow Mario, throwing goop, teleporting, swinging the paintbrush, and for his final smash, if they don't remove it, he summons one of those polluted Piranha Plants on the stage.
Bowser Jr. would be a pretty awesome addition to the Super Smash Bros. crew for the Mario cast. Having attacks with his paintbrush, being able to breathe fire, covering people with goop, throwing Koopa shells, doing a ground pound that can send an opponent flying if done on a light platform, shielding yourself with his protective shell, creating painted objects, and they could even have him transform into Shadow Mario. He could be a fast character with devastating ground attacks, and also some aerial powers. I would want him to "paint an entrance to SSB4."
(Also: Mega Man has already been announced, so you don't need to vote for him.)
Come on, we're talking about the most iconic villain of Metroid. He's been in every Smash Bros. game to date and was so close to making it in Brawl. Heck, Sakurai was even interviewed regarding his absence. He knows we want him in. Ridley was the one who made Samus who she is and has been in almost every Metroid game in some form or another. He is hands down the most obvious choice for a villain representative.
And don't tell me he's "too big". Olimar is the size of a quarter in his game. Resizing happens.
Why wouldn't you want to play as a plasma-breathing cyborg space dragon?!
We need another playable villain in Smash, and if anyone was to make the cut, it's Ridley. I mean, come on! He is a space dragon-like pterodactyl with the brain of an intelligent evil mastermind. He is the leader of an army of space pirates, and whenever he dies, he just keeps on returning! He keeps on changing shape and color anyway, and he is a master when it comes to a fight in the air. Plus, he has his even stronger form, Meta Ridley!
Furthermore, we wouldn't even have Samus if it weren't for Ridley killing her mother. Ridley made Samus who she is! And last but not least, have you ever thought about what his attacks might be in Smash?
Little Mac is already an assist trophy in Brawl, and one of the few that acts similarly to a playable fighter. If you ask me, that alone makes him a good candidate for a promotion to Playable Fighter position in Smash 4. Add to that Punch-Out!'s recent comeback on the Wii, the boxing ring shown off in the trailers, and the fact that Little Mac hails from a fighting game anyway, and I'd say the odds are high that we'll be seeing Little Mac enter the ring in 2014.
Little Mac has big chances to be in the next game. The Punch-Out! series has revived on Wii, he is a great fighter and will fit very well in a Super Smash Bros. game. Some people say that Little Mac doesn't have good attacks, but Nintendo can prove the contrary. Go Mac baby, GO!
He is my main in SSB4 and is so amazing. I can beat anyone in 1v1, although in free-for-alls, I still need work with him. I always played his games, though, and knew I was going to main him before the game came out. Thumbs up for my favorite character, Little Mac!
Remember back to the Sonic and Tails in Melee April Fools' joke? Well, originally, it wasn't an April Fools' joke. Sonic WAS planned for Melee but was later cut due to time constraints. He made it for Brawl, and Tails was to be planned for it as well, but, once again, was cut due to time constraints. With the work and effort put into this new Smash Bros., I'd say out of all the characters I see on this list, Tails, Pac-Man, and Dixie Kong are the most likely. As much as I would love to play as our favorite bear and bird, or even the little fire-breathing son of a tyrant turtle, they just seem less likely to see the light of Smash on the main roster.
Miles "Tails" Prower would be a wonderful addition to the game. Sonic was the most requested by fans after Melee, but Tails would be great too. It would be kind of obvious what his moveset would be too. The Final Smash would be the Tornado. I think that Nintendo should make more people from other games, like adding more Donkey Kong players like Dixie, or Kirby players like Prince Fluff (maybe not). But having Tails from Sonic in the game would be nice.
It would make sense to include Geno, as his moves are already essentially predetermined from Super Mario RPG and would be easy to incorporate into Smash Bros. Besides, if they can use other "one game characters" in the series, why not pick one who many people would enjoy seeing added to the roster? I mean, seriously, Wii Fit Trainer? I'd much rather see Geno as a playable character.
If they can include other "non-Nintendo" characters and obtain the rights for them, why not Geno too? It doesn't make sense that Nintendo would spend the money to include him in Super Mario Superstar Saga, or whatever game that was, and not put him in one of the most popular games for Nintendo. I did happen to see that you battle him in the upcoming Smash Bros. Why would they also spend the money to include him in the game as a "new challenger" but not as a playable character? I just hope Square and Nintendo consider him for this game or maybe even the next one. Geno has always been very popular, and many people besides myself would love to play as him again someday.
I think I would rather enjoy playing as Lucina more than Chrom. Although Chrom is really cool, I would still rather enjoy playing as Lucina. But I would really love to play as Anna, and I hope she joins the brawl. I REALLY hope she joins the brawl! Anna is awesome, and I would love going against my older sister with Anna the Trickster.
I also think Avatar would be cool, but that wouldn't make much sense unless he/she has different skins like in Brawl. But out of all, I think Anna should join. If not Anna, then Lucina.
Fire Emblem: Awakening was a hugely successful game that saved the Fire Emblem series and contributed a lot to the 3DS's success. Chrom (or Lucina) would be a great new addition to the game, really bringing SSB fans to the actual Fire Emblem franchise and vice versa, especially with his popularity.
If anything, though, I'm really hoping (a very small hope) that the Avatar will appear, probably with the default skins (white hair and default face). Male or female, I don't care, but with sword and magic, their moveset would be interesting, and they could have an awesome final smash. But first, Chrom needs to be included.
Everyone wants Waluigi! He can represent all the spinoff games with his moves. His standard special would be serving tennis balls at enemies. His side smash could be the Liar Ball from Mario Super Sluggers, where he throws a big baseball that turns into a little one when it hits people. The big one would do more damage, but the little one could break shields.
The down smash could be like Game and Watch's judge, where he hits a Mario Party block and it falls on the enemy, with a 10 being an OHKO. As for his Up Smash, he could get in a Mario Kart, a ramp would appear in front of him, he would go up the ramp, and then parachute back. And his Final Smash would be his Mega Strike!
I think that the Wah himself could have lightning- and sports-based attacks. This could be awesome, and people have been wanting him for years since he was an assist trophy.
His final smash HAS to be his Mega Strike from Strikers Charged. It would be great to see him fly around the screen and whipping everything in sight.
Saki has a great arsenal of weapons, including his gun for range and its ability to transform into a beam for melee combos. He can also transform into a giant monster ruffian, which would be awesome as a Final Smash. Not only that, but he was featured as an assist trophy in the last game and his own series has had a sequel on the Wii. Although he remains very Japanese, it would be an awesome addition to the roster, story-wise and gameplay-wise.
I have issues with Peach, Zelda, Samus, and Nana. We need some more respectable women who don't need men to save them, or in Samus's case, wear skin-tight outfits. They've done a great job with Rosalina and Wii Fit Trainer. But after playing Kid Icarus: Uprising, it's difficult to want anybody more than the intelligent, pretty, kind, and caring Lady Palutena. I'd also like to see Dixie Kong and Lucina (from Fire Emblem) battle it out with some awesome ladies.
Palutena would be amazing. We need more girls in Smash Bros, and Palutena could certainly kick serious butt!
One of the main reasons why the Kid Icarus series is so brilliant, as Palutena provides comedic elements to the game, and she has so much moveset potential.
Pac-Man should be in it, number 1. Namco is helping make Smash Bros 4, number 2. The ghosts could be one boss made of twenty, number 3. Think of the stages. They had this weird Mario stage in Brawl, and number 4. He's just the perfect guy for Brawl, number 5. He can use his tongue for his moveset. I'm not talking about the really bad show. I'm talking about the Pac-Man that had arms and legs, which was cool.
I would actually be interested in this. I am aware Pac-Man is not exactly suited for a fighting game, but he is still a classic character and I am curious to see how they would work him in. Also, the final smash described in the top comment is a great idea.
It would be awesome seeing Pac-Man in the game! Just imagine a match between Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man. Plus, Namco is developing the game, so I think it's only fair that they get to put him in.
Lloyd appeared in Soul Calibur as a guest sword wielder. Another guest who appeared in the Soul Calibur franchise was Link. Lloyd seems like an addition that would keep the game interesting, adding a different character status and fighting style.
When they first announced that third-party characters would be put into Brawl, Lloyd Irving was one of the characters that I hoped for the most. His moveset (down-B for Sword Rain, B for Demon Fang, for example) would fit perfectly into the series. Actually, a lot of time and effort was put into making a Lloyd Irving mod of Wolf for Brawl. So, with Namco Bandai being one of the developers of Smash Bros.'s newest installment, the time seems right for Lloyd Irving to join the fray.
Would be an awesome addition! Moves fit perfectly, and Tales of Symphonia recently got a remake, so it wouldn't hurt for Namco to promote it, seeing as how it hasn't come out yet in Western countries (at least not in Australia).
Shulk is the star of a franchise. He was the star of one of the best games on the Wii. He will be the star of an upcoming game on the Wii U. He would have an amazing moveset even though he is a swordsman. Shulk's addition would also work as publicity for Xenoblade and X. Star character, great moveset, and a money maker. Shulk will definitely be in the new Smash Bros.
I really enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles, and I believe if Shulk is added, the franchise will become much more popular and given more respect.
I understand why Mewtwo is above Midna, but not really anybody else! Are people still voting for the confirmed Mega Man? That would be odd. Anyway, Midna is a beautiful female addition with multiple forms, each with their own potential. She has the best character development out of any Nintendo character I can think of. She's the best Nintendo princess, with Rosalina and Zelda closely following (Daisy is hilarious, she's good too). I'm glad she's number 9, and I hope people realize her large chances of being the companion-type character in Zelda U, or maybe a whole new character type!
She doesn't use a sword but could use the Twilight Sword if she wanted to. We need more magic type characters: telekinesis, shape-shifting, and other dark magic! Go Midna!
Midna is a character I always thought should have been in the SSB series, and now here's my chance to get her in. In SSB Brawl, Toon Link instead of Midna!? Toon Link was the same thing as Link, just cuter! Midna can do awesome things, so if you put another Zelda character in, don't make it a remake of a different character that just looks different in the same exact game!
Midna, on the other hand, won't have those bow and arrows, bombs, shields, swords, she won't! She'll have a totally different set of moves and will be awesome! Vote for the next newcomer, Midna.
Kamek is my favorite character of all time, and I wanted him to be playable since Melee!
I agree, he should at least be in Mario Kart.
Kamek would be really fun to play as!
We already have Megaman, so why not? He could be the Roy to Megaman's Marth, kind of like when the Fire Emblem characters were added to Smash Bros. Also, they'd be different enough from each other that they couldn't be considered "clones", which has upset a lot of SSB fans over the years. If nothing else, make Zero an alternate skin for Megaman. That would take no time at all, and would look absolutely badass.
Zero is amazing! His saber and buster could become an epic combo. Imagine for a smash, he could use a cannon-level charge shot to wipe out everybody! Get more votes, Zero! We are counting on you.
Just too very awesome, because of his skills, ability, and weaponry. I believe Mega Man wouldn't be so cool without such a great character by his side as Zero. Besides, he can use too many power combinations and do such a great special attack with his sword! Just epicness. Zero for the win.
He's a super badass Mother 3 character with weapons, PSI power, and even mechanical wings (for a recovery move, maybe?). He definitely deserves to be in the next Smash Bros because then the Mother series could have a representative who is a villain, and who also wouldn't be a clone.
As a major bad guy in the Mother games, the Masked Man deserves to at least be an assist trophy. Armed with a sword, an arm cannon, and a deadly assortment of PSI techniques, this kid would feel right at home in the Smash Brothers world.
Best character EVER! The Masked Man would be a unique character who (hopefully) would not just use PSI attacks. He would be able to attack with his sword and his cannon, in place of what the other Mother characters would use PSI for.
And don't forget to also put Crash Bandicoot in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U as a playable third-party character, please Nintendo.
Crash Bandicoot encounters Princess Daisy & Rosalina from the Mario franchise.
Crash Bandicoot would be awesome!
