Smash Rosters

[Terminal Devastation]

Mario series: Mostly the current cast, but possibly one more.
I could see Daisy making an Assist trophy appearance just as a way to say: no she isn't entirely thrown under the bus. Possible Dr. Mario alt outfit for mario.

Crack theory: Daisy makes it to PLAYABLE, and uses Mario Land series moves.

Pokemon: I'm with the every playable pokemon in a smash bros that isn't named pichu returns. Mewtwo more likely than lucario, but they'll throw in both just because.

Crack theory: Pkmn Trainer becomes even MORE complex, and switchs between 6 pokemon. The original gen 1 pokemon, and newcomers X/Y starters.

Metroid: Finally gets SOMEONE new. Possibly Anthony or Adam, regardless of how unpopular Other M was. Personally think Anthony over Adam even though the other has more games technically. Either would derive moveset from mostly federation equipment shown either in Samus' or federation soldier' possession. Likely Ice beam and diffusion missile, possibly some Phazon overcharge stuff from prime. Unless Snake doesn't return. In this case, they'll just reskin Snake into Adam, and tweak the attacks to make them more metroidy. Final smash in this case will be Samus' ship from Fusion firing missiles at the stage (works just like snakes old one, with different blind spots)

Crack theory: Metroid gets three reps: Rundas, Ridley AND Anth/Adam. Rundas there as an apology for Other M. Some how pull off a mother brain "stage boss"

Zelda: Gannondorf FINALLY gets a moveset derived from the Zelda series, rather than Captain falcon. Tetra makes it in, maybe not with a toon Zelda.
"Shiek" possibly split from Zelda. Toon Zelda moves incorporated into Zelda's moveset if Shiek is split. If Zelda retains Shiek, Toon Zelda gets Tetra... all other moves are different.

Vaati and someone from Skyward make it to assists.
Hilda alt color for Zelda.

Crack theory: Vaati, tingle*, Ravio AND Groose make it to playble.
*This is almost a legit theory... since if it happened I wouldn't be surprised, just think its unlikely

Star Fox: Falco gets Arwing for final smash. Wolf returns, Krystal added. Krystal would bring a decent moveset with her. Krystal DOESN'T have the Star Fox Adventures outfit.

Crack theory: Landmaster for playable. Landmaster's Final smash is another landmaster. All starfox characters use Arwings instead. Also they find a way to bring Andross in by Gannondorfing up Diddy's moveset.


Kirby: Just the three from brawl rebalanced.
Possible assists based on helpers and maybe a few bosses.

Crack theory: Magolor, he HAS the move set needed to pull it off.
Adeliene, Zero, and Gooey AT. Gooey AT basically grants an "ice climber" with the players full moveset to whoever activates it.

F-Zero: Black shadow added to take Gannondorf's old moveset, so those that liked playing the old gannondorf still get to have it.

Crack theory F-zero also gets another character. Who I don't know.

Wario:
Either Mona or Captian Syrup. Ashley was only made an assist to allow her to be properly overpowered.
Kat and Ana remain ATs.

Crack theory That one princess from Wario Land 4. Uses the shadow's moves from the same game.

Kid icarus Medusa. She's a female villain. Even better than Captian syrup she'd fill this niche. Palutina remains as part of Pit's final smash.
Magnus as an assist trophy. Verdani? also an assist


crack theory: Palutina, Magus, verdani and PToo all make it in.

Earthbound No changes,
if any Claus/masked man, because they need at least an antag representative, and porkeys not that suited for playable.

Crack theory Giygas AT. And playble Flint.

Fire emblem If they don't just promote lyn to playable. Instead of Chrom; the tactician. Tactician will have his/her hood up to avoid needing to choose between looks, and will either have a girl/boy variant like wii fit, or just be androgynous to the point no one can tell. This would be a neat way to have a spell caster representative from FE in there. And Tactician was sort of in a few other games as well.
Crack theory Lyn, Anna, Roy, Chrom, and tactician all make it in. Tactician's final smash will be unit rush where any FE playable that ISN"T a playable or assist rushes across the screen. Yes. everyone from the ENTIRE FE series. Maybe as overworld icons.

Other R.O.B., G&W, ice climbers all return. Issac, Ray MKII and Little mac promoted.

Crack theory In ADDITION to the those six; Jill from drill dozer is promoted... and then Nintendo reaches back an brings in a character from before it made video games at all.

R.O.B gets ancient minister alt look.

In a continuity nod to subspace emissary mode in brawl, Master hand now looks like the nintendo power glove, suggesting he's now a cyborg. Crazy hand retains old look.

3rd party Either snake returns, or is replaced by Simon Belmont. Castlevania has a stronger presense on Nintendo than Snake at least.

Possible Pac man.

crack theory Both snake, and Simon.
