I've critiqued a few other Smash rosters around here, and that doesn't feel fair to do without throwing myself to the wolves as well. Have at it!

*The bottom row (excluding Miis and Random) is a DLC row.

With six votes from the last round, Squirtle is eliminated

For this round, it's just the fighter with the most comments that will be chosen

Meta Knight joins the battle! Winning comment belongs to u/Hot-Marketer-27!

What this series is is basically if Shigeru Miyamoto directed the Super Smash Bros. franchise instead of Sakurai.

Rules:

With eight comments in total, Incineroar is eliminated

For today's round: Comment on any HUMAN fighter

The fighter with the most comments will be chosen. Have fun

Pretty self explanatory. It's a Smash roster I made with exactly 100 fighters (counting PKM trainer's pokemon and Pyra and Myhtra separately). I tried to make it realistic compared to the larger dream roster I just posted, but I didn't want to cut any series and added 10 more, making the roster have 50 in total.

The cut charcaters are: (Sheik, Dr. Mario, Pichu, Young Link, Zero Suit Samus, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Lucina, Dark Pit, Corrin, Chrom, Incineroar, Piranha Plant, Richter, Ken, and Sephiroth).

Feel free to leave your thoughts below!

Sm4sh! We finally made it after spending forever in Brawl.

For this round, get ready for the return of a big one. You can select TEN FIRST PARTY CHARACTERS. You don’t have to say ten, but you can say as many as ten.

Rules
- Pick 10 characters, or at least up to 10
- All must be owned by Nintendo
- Original movesets only, clones will be another day

Who would y’all main?

Welcome to this new series, I call it, redesigning Smash!

Basically, the point of this, is that I'll be showing you what changes could be made to every single Smash title, if I was the director instead of Sakurai.

However, I want to point out some rules, so this becomes a logical and realistic roster, instead of a Wishlist.

Firstly, I must have no knowledge on the current iteration of Smash, meaning that I have to rely on historical popularity records, sales figures if I want to gauge sheer popularity, and use my best judgement otherwise.

Secondly, this means that I have to acknowledge my shortcomings with creativity, and not rely on Sakurai's, meaning that Mr. Game & Watch would've never been added to Melee because I genuinely would never come up with him.

Thirdly, I have to limit the development resources to what was available at that time. This means I would have to match full fighters with other full fighters, clone fighters with other clone fighters, and much more. Meaning that the rosters would be the exact same size.

Lastly, I have to assume new ramifications based on my decisions for said entry in the series. For example, if Pit wasn't added in Brawl, that would mean that Kid Icarus: Uprising wouldn't release in 2012, since Smash has a huge impact on many smaller franchises, meaning that I have to use my best judgement on how my selections could alter the timeline.

Anyways, let's see what the roster would look like, and why I made each decision.

01. Mario (Full Fighter)
For a game with lots of recognizable Nintendo characters, of course the most iconic one, Mario, is your everyman character, with a moveset that is easy to understand.

02. Bowser (Full Fighter)
Because of Bowser's popularity for being the villain of the Super Mario franchise, Bowser was an easy no brainer, and was one of my biggest priorities

03. Donkey Kong (Full Fighter)
The iconic rival of Mario would definitely be in, especially after the success of the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy.

04. Link (Full Fighter)
Link was another no brainer, since The Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo's most successful franchises at the time, and since Link is a swordfighter, he would make a great fit.

05. Samus Aran (Full Fighter)
Metroid was also another popular franchise, despite not getting an entry for the Nintendo 64. Also, Metroidvania characters tend to fit nicely in a platform fighter.

06. Kirby (Full Fighter)
Since Kirby is sort of the mascot of HAL Laboratory, I would've had no problem including him.

07. Fox McCloud (Full Fighter)
Star Fox was also a relatively popular Nintendo franchise, and I would've actually been able to come up with a unique enough moveset based on real life foxes.

08. Pikachu (Full Fighter)
Because of Pokémon's recent rise, I of course had to act fast and include at least one character, and Pikachu is a must, since he is the mascot of Pokémon.

Now, for our unlockable fighters

09. Ness (Full Fighter - Mario Model Share)
Since Earthbound is owned by HAL, this was another no brainer, especially since there is so many PSI moves Ness can utilize in his moveset.

10. Little Mac (Full Fighter - Prototype Model Share)
Since Punch-Out!! was Nintendo's closest to an actual fighting game, Little Mac would be an easy no brainer, despite being more of a deep cut around this time.

11. Marth (Link Clone)
Marth's inclusion was very late in development, as I had to include either clones or semi-clones to increase the roster. Fire Emblem was semi-popular in Japan, and Marth could easily be built off of Link's attacks.

12. Blastoise (Bowser Semi-Clone)
For our first character unique to this alt. timeline, we have Blastoise. Very late in development, I was thinking of adding a fully evolved starter Pokémon, and I obviously went with Blastoise, mainly because his model can just be ripped from Bowser, and would have some unique moves from him, like using his cannons and watery attacks instead of fire.

And that is our roster, but, I know that I will get angry comments like, "WHERE IS YOSHI" or "WHY IS CAPTAIN FALCON NOT IN" and I will answer that.

Yoshi - I had to chose between Yoshi or Bowser as the second Mario rep, since I didn't want the roster to be overfilled with Mario characters, and I chose Bowser, since he was more iconic, and even though Sakurai considered Yoshi to be a seperate franchise, I would've still considered him a Mario character back then.

Luigi - Same reasoning as Yoshi, but much more of a cut, since Luigi wasn't that visually unique, just being Mario but taller, and having Green and Purple overalls instead of Red and Blue, and since he is a second plumber, I would've holden off of him, for now...

Jigglypuff - Even though I would've momentarily considered her because of her running gag in the anime, she wasn't visually distinct enough to be considered, so she was outprioritized, and because she missed her chance, she would never get in, fading out of the spotlight as I move onto other Gen 1 Pokémon and newer Generations.

Captain Falcon - Compared to the other 3 who I considered but ultimately scrapped, I would've never even consider Captain Falcon, mainly because we never saw him outside of his Falcon Flyer except for select cutscenes, and the anime, which came out after Smash 64's release.

Anyways, that's it for this post, if you disagree with my choices, you can put your choices down below, and I'll see you when I create Melee's roster.

With eight comments counted from the last round, Lucina is eliminated

For this round, comment on the fighter that has your favorite color

The most voted comment will be chosen

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS POST!

From the votes of the last round (as of this morning, from uploading today's round)

We have a tie between Daisy and Jigglypuff. So instead of double elimination, I decided to go with the fighter with the most comments between the two. And with four comments: Daisy is eliminated

Now, for this round, the challenge is to choose the fighter you want to see next eliminated, based on the last letter of your first name.

For example: Liam - Mario

The most voted comment will decide the next elimination
