Lets face it. We are all extremely excited for the new smash brothers game to come out. After watching the direct, my patience has gotten to the point where it does not exist, and my excitement level is threw the roof. However, there are still characters that will most certainly be added to the roster. Granted, we also have veteran characters that have no been announced yet such as ness and jigglypuff but I will not dive into the characters. I want to analyze new characters that would be reasonable and deserving of a smash brothers spot.
1. King K Rool - This is one of my personal favorites. I would really like to see him in but I feel like he has some competition with dixie kong. In my opinion either character would work nicely, however, I feel like we would get more "variety" if king k was chosen over dixie kong. He would be deemed another powerful heavy weight that could use his cannonball move technique from donkey kong country 1 for the n64. Fingers are crossed for this one.
2. Chrom - I know everyone has been wanting chrom but there is one slight problem I have with this character. You see, if one has never played the new fire emblem awakening game, then they would obviously have no idea who he really is while the people that have played the game do know him very well. So it comes down to the following: Do we add a fire emblem character that some know well and really like or do we add a fire emblem character that more people would be familiar with? Personally Chrom will most likely take the second fire emblem spot but I like to keep ideas open.
3. Mewtwo - This is a very popular choice but unfortunately mewtwo may not make the roster now that gredninja and charizard have been announced. Not to mention pikachu is in it too. If we kept up with the general pattern that smash bros has been doing, aside from mario characters, one franchise usually gets 4 characters. Personally I do not see them getting rid of jigglypuff since she has been in the last 3 smash brothers games but you never know.
4. Jeff - Earthbound is my favorite game of all time so I couldnt just not mention jeff. He is quite different from ness and could really pack a punch with his bottle rockets and various gadgets. He was an assist trophy in the last smash which means he is somewhat important. Do I think he has a good chance to get in the new smash? No not really, but I dont think its a slim to none chance either. Lucas was fine but again, having variety is always nice to have and jeff is far from being the same as ness.
5. Crystal - Aside from starfox 64 I am not that knowledgeable on the new star fox games, but I do know that crystal has been a popular choice to have in the roster. Again, she is more unique then the other 3 starfox characters. She is also a female which is a plus since adding more females was a goal. Would they keep all the previous star fox characters if she was added or would they drop one? That is a tough question to answer.
Here is some reasonable characters aside from Jeff maybe that I think have a good chance to get in still. What do you guys think? Are there any characters on this list you feel will not make it or have a good chance of making it? What are your opinions and ideas for other characters. I know Shulk was a popular choice as well.
