"Pic of the day.
Come on out, Cragalanche! (Not really.)"

Thought of this before, but when I first saw the Uprising stage I wondered if the Reset Bomb would strike during the match and engulf the stage. Looks like my hunch might be right.

Could it be...

Come on Sakurai, if you put Mega Man in, surely there is room for this guy.
Otherwise,

@DestinyMan For some reason, I think it'll be Dixie, which stinks in my opinion because she's essentially diddy with a ponytail. I'm still hoping for K. Rool though. I'm betting one of the new stages will be the top of the volcano with the Big Tiki Tower thing looming over the stage, with the tiki audience from the Returns boss fights as well. :3

I think Dixie wouldn't be a bad addition at all. I mean, she would have similar moves to Diddy Kong yes, but she would have a cool up B in which she spins her hair...just like Donkey Kong....swinging his....arms.

She may not be a great idea.

Just thought of it, but what if Dixie was paired with Diddy ala the Ice Climbers, only you can switch between them like DKC2? Actually, it could be a sort of hybrid between Ice Climbers and the Zelda/Sheik duo. That way she's in the game, but she also doesn't take up a roster slot.

@WingedFish

I'd like that, adding stuff like throwing the other at things like in DKC2, but if they miss you have to pick them back up from their crying on the floor.

Something I'd like to see, in the subject of "costumes", would be to be able to change between Olimar, Louie, Alph, Brittany and Charlie. I really hope they add that kind of stuff. I'd also like to see Rock and Winged Pikmin!

I hope the music for Pikmin will be more varied this time around. In Brawl it was mostly either remixes of the world map and title themes or the popular songs used for the games' advertising.

Yeah I think winged and rock Pikmin will be with Olimar this time around
I hope Olimar is just as good this time around, as he was one of the best characters in Brawl. However in Melee, I almost exclusively used Falco, so I hope Falco returns to his Melee state rather than his Brawl one

I want the homeless hitchiker kai because he is ready to smash! smash! smash!

@PloXyZeRO I have four possible theories regarding the Winged and Rock Pikmin.

#1 They'll be with Olimar but haven't been revealed yet.

#2 One of the Pikmin 3 Captains join the roster and will have them.

#3 They'll be a two-in-one Assist Trophy, possibly behaving like Lakitu and Spinies with the Wings carrying Rocks around the stage before dropping them.

#4 They'll only be trophies/stickers.

@WingedFish I hope that #1 is the case (seems plausible), and I really hope that #4 is NOT the case.
#2 also seems somewhat possible but I feel like the other captain would essentially be a "clone" of Olimar, since the Pikmin do most of the fighting instead of the character wielding them

@PloXyZeRO I think it's a toss up between #1 and #2, with me personally learning more towards #2.

With Olimar already confirmed I can see some kind of pseudo Fire Emblem situation here (aka Marth has been in the last two but the other representative with him has changed). And it shouldn't be too difficult to make the moveset for the other Captain different. The recovery move alone is easily changable with the Winged Pikmin.

Needs moar Raptor Boosts.

Would there even be stickers this time, considering how the campaign will be?

Lets be real here; how many characters do you think will be in the final roster? Just for reference here's the track record so far:

Smash Bros (N64): 12

Melee: 25

Brawl: 35

The leap between the original game and Melee saw the roster DOUBLE in the amount of characters. The leap between Melee and Brawl was very minimal with only 10 more characters. Sakurai has also stated that the Wii U and 3DS will have the same exact characters in their rosters which unfortunately means, the Wii U version will be held back by the 3DS version in that respect. I predict we'll at least see 40-45 characters in the final roster. What do you think?

@Guitardude7 - I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Yeah; about 40-45 seems right. Anything above 50 would be nuts. It'd be awesome, but it's unrealistic.

It looks like they added an average of ten every installment, so 45 is a pretty safe argument.

Probably about 35 or less. Sakurai has already said that that "Some Smash Bros. Characters Will be Cut Due to Time Constrai....
