Smash Bros... got ideas for the next one?

The title says it.
When the next Smash Bros. game comes out, and it HAS to come out eventually since it is such a big hit, what kinda stuff should be included?
What characters should they include?
What characters should they dump?
Should characters be changed from the last game? (Brawl)Should there be any new items?
New features?Feel free to post your ideas. Everyone's got ideas!
Just don't diss anyone else's thoughts. Constructive criticism and flat out insult are easily distinguishable.And to start it off...
I would, first of all, dump Jigglypuff, because her attacks are weak, slow, mostly useless, and she is, more often than naught, used as a punching bag character because she is so weak.
Anybody think I'm wrong?
POST! Keep this thread going!

All characters have their uses, just because you can't use that pink thing doesn't mean there isn't someone online that's a god.That said...I want mewtwo back, just a slight tweak and Lucario and mewtwo can stay, i liked him despite being...kinda crap.As for new people, prehaps give us "travis touchdown" from no more heroes (come on nintendo-YOU GOTTA GET HIM SOMEHOW!), make him a strong melee kinda guy that's midweight like mario, as for nintendo based guys I got no clue...They need some online tournament modes though to spice things up.

next super smash bros is probally gonna come out after pokemon black and white so they should include the following reshiram,zekrom,zoruarak, and arcues

Have more events like Melee.The lack of events in Brawl made it it average to below average to me, imo.

Ok our favorite main antagonists.... Ganon and Bowser have both made their appearances and have made it through to brawl.I think that Nintendo should throw in Retro Ridley as a playable character. Limit his flight to jumps (like jigglypuff and kirby) but give him a large character size, say just slightly bigger than Ganon....Everyone keeps saying they want Ridley, they want Meta Ridley.... They're too large for most of the stages, but if Retro (NES) Ridley were playable, he wasn't all that big and fits the stages perfect.Also... Seeing as how nintendo has taken over sonic... I vote Shadow and Knuckles... Maybe Tails... Maybe. lol (he really isn't all that good in the sonic games when the 3-D games rolled around)Sonic can't have his franchise limited to just him in SSB. Throwing Knuckles and Shadow in would help make a juicy, thick story mode for him.... Eggman could have a cool machine or 2 and be a nice boss to take out.And lastly.... X and Zero from megaman... Nintendo has glorified these guys and not once have they made the cut in SSB. Also Sigma and Wiley would make killer bosses.

Personally, Change the POKeMON Trainer mechanic so they have six POKeMON and/or add more of them. Sure, I like having Pikachu, Lucario and Jigglypuff as individual characters, but they could change the Smash Attack mechanic for the Trainer so each POKeMON has a different way of doing it.
Also, Add Krystal as a main character, who plays very much differently to the normal Starfox characters.Also, Change Smash Attacks to similar ways like -
Twilight Link turns into Wolf Link for a short time, while Toon Link keeps the original.
So each character has their own Smash Attack.

I wouldn't mind a Castlevania character. Some of them would work particularly well, as far as move-sets go.More stages would be cool; really interactive stages too, with lots of different stuff in them (... I mean, you know, stuff happening in them.... you know what I mean ~_~ - something to make it really stand out from other stages...)I hope it does something about Fox/Falco/Wolf. Like... seriously. The clone characters, in my opinion, really detract from the experience and kind of kills the flare of unlocking a "new" character.They definitely need Mudkip (:3 I herd u liek Mudkipz?)Also, I don't really want another Subspace Embassy-esque game mode; in my opinion, the whole thing was artificially lengthened by making you redo stuff and I found the whole thing quite boring :(I wouldn't mind Mewtwo back, either; I didn't really like him, but if it's not a clone, I'm all for it -.-That being said, I don't mind having toon link + link, mainly because they're not exact clones and it's representative of the 'two zelda seriess' that are kind of happening..I wouldn't mind some new challenge modes; but interesting challenges, not just "BEAT ALL OF THESE DUDES.. NOW" but, I don't know, ways to spice things up. Beats me; something to keep the core gameplay but spice it up a little in the odd game type.

I just thought of Capture The Flag in Smash Bros
O_O... That would be.. really.. really weird... -.- Scratch that... lol

I say they add the Doom Marine as a playable character. It would be fun to "RIP AND TEAR! RIP AND TEAR YOUR GUTS! YOU'RE BIG! MEANING YOU HAVE BIG GUTS!" That and it would unlock the possibility of the Cyberdemon (or the Mother Demon for you Doom64 fans) as a adventure boss.I was also ashamed to see that they left out the Ouendan (Aloof or Noble) / Elite Beat Agents as assist trophies. They need to fix that.

Wow, guys! Lots of input and stuff I didn't even think about! Thanks for that!
I'm gonna have to agree with bringing Mewtwo back - I really liked using him in Melee, and his abilities were really cool, especially the speed of his teleport, cause I used that all the time, and Lucario, for me, is mediocre as a fighter. Sure, he's cool, sure, he shoots a big ball of energy like Mewtwo did, but he doesn't cut it as far as knockback, speed, and he's only powerful when he gets hurt a lot. I've seen people go emo with Lucario, getting damage on purpose, just to buff up his attack power. Guess what happened to them shortly after getting past 100% damage? They got killed. Sorry, Lucario, I am not a fan.Keep up the posting!

Their problem was the lack of events, characters, stages, and ONLINE PLAYIf they had something like Co-Op Event Matches online or hell, even Subspace Emmesary online, damn man..Also, Isaac from Golden Sun doesnt get the recognition he deserves. He's a Assist Trophy >_>

They have to include plenty on characters... co-op modes. and better graphics.... wiith that i can myself a great game...

Replying to #11

Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, should have an option on WiFiAnd when you're playing against people anonymously, you should have options other than 2-minute brawls >_> That was its main flaw

Natewlie · #4Have more events like Melee.The lack of events in Brawl made it it average to below average to me, imo.

Brawl had more, It's just half of them were co-op and not as challenging or rewarding.The characters I'd want are:
- Baby bowser (with an unique move set)
- Zora, Goron (don't mind which Zelda they come from)
- Maybe a couple from golden sun
- Hector from FE7 (since he uses an axe, I’m sick of seeing Marth and other sword wielders)Characters to drop from the current line up:
- Wolf (I don't mind Falco)
- Diddy (just annoying)
- Replace Marth as above
- Olimar (useless)
- Jigglypuff (also useless)
- Ness or Lucas (Lucas was just a better, more powerful Ness... )
- Lucario (would likely be replaced with an upcoming pokemon anyway)

EZIO.. maybe, his moves would be awesome and he has a ton of other colour variants in Assassin's Creed 2 so they could just use those :)

Hector would be epic, epic FE character.
Baby Bowser or Bowser Junior or some Retarded mixture of the two should appear, mainly because a wee little bowser' has appeared here and there, and theres a fair few moves he could do
Think of the Final Smash as Baby Bowsers transformation in Yoshis Island.
Dear... God..
XDGeneral IMPROVEMENTS to wifi would be much, much appreciated.
A more fully fleshed out stage creator wouldn't be too bad; especially one that actually makes maps that are GOOD to play with in Ai (In my experiences, the AI becomes bloody retarded on custom maps <_<)Maybe A Pokemon Themed gameplay mode would be a better idea, as opposed to filling our roster with 9,001 pokemon ^^;

Ah... Good ol' events. I always did love the events section of Melee. After stumbling across it, there was no end of fun challenges... especially the last one. GIGA Bowser, Mewtwo, AND Ganondorf vs. you alone. That was epic. The addition of giga bowser, even if he was just a buffed up and bigger form of bowser, made it that much more fun. It's a shame that there isn't any way to play as him without a final smash time limit on brawl.Oh. That's an idea. I've always done 1 vs. 3 matches with two other friends, but it was too easy, even with cpu on level 9. There should be a game mode where you have a choice of huge enemies to fight with one or two other people. Like boss battles, but not HP based bosses.
The did something like that in one of the events. You vs. giant DK or something.
But, yeah. That'd be fun. :D

XD

you mean that final boss? Hell yes, that would make an awesome final smash.

Well in my mind
Characters:
Megaman(Capcom)
Wily would be nice too ^_^
Possibly sackboy but far unlikely (sony)
WALUIGI is a must(durr.. :p)
Travis Touchdown(NMH)
Grey Fox(MGS)
Arthur(Ghosts and Goblins)
Characters to dump:
Ice Climbers
Ike
JigglypuffNew items:
Phoneix Wright Assist Trophy or character
Luma
Penguin Suit
Some sort of new gun or projectile
MOAR pokemon

New Metroid character, like a Galactic Federation Marine, or Space Pirate, maybe even dark Samus.

Usoppu · #17you mean that final boss? Hell yes, that would make an awesome final smash.

Hell yes. For sure :3I also nod for the notion of Travis Touchdown in SSB. It makes sense, he.. fights and what not.
I also think Waluigi should be in it; he was created for the sole purpose of being a +1 in party/sport games, so why the hell should he be excluded here? :3
A phoenix wright assist would be funny :P Imagine seeing a dude get k'o'd from a massive objection and fingerpoint across the screen.
lmao.And I'm probably the only person to think so, but maybe some changes to Wario's moveset would be appreciated. I don't know.. when I play as him I just... I dunno. I just find it weird... *shudders*
