1. Introduction
Hello, Dear Smashers and Forumites alike, and welcome to the SSB4 Character Demands Tier, a site-wide project to help document the desires of Smash Fans and their dreams of character possibilities.

Yes, the title of the thread is quite self-explanatory, but let me clarify a little further...

...SSB4 is both highly anticipated and discussed. People want more items, stages, modes of play, and whatnot.

But, most of all, people want characters.

Super Smash Brothers is a fighting game at heart, and characters are a defining part of most fighting games. However, since Smash Brothers is like a huge crossover of video games, the roster of playable characters is doubly important.

Because much of Smash Brothers' appeal resides in it's collection of fighters, having your Video Game character of choice become a challenger in the next SSB is nothing short of a dream come true for some. That's why it's such a hot subject. That's why there's such fervor and loyalty to certain franchises.

That's why this thread was made. To give us all a clear look at the Smash Community's hopes for the next Smash Roster.

So, before this intro becomes a wall of text, let's get down to business...


2. How This Thread Works
If you haven't already guessed, this thread will act much like a poll. Just to assure you, even though it says "Tier List", this is NOT a personal gauge of how important I think character suggestions are. This is a list of vote amounts, grouped into tiers.

There are rules to voting, so listen up.

First and foremost, there is no limit to the number of characters you can support. Each character on your list will count as one vote for the character. The votes will be tallied via spreadsheet on my computer and the thread will be updated. Yes, you can edit your votes, but it may be troublesome to hunt down your previous post(s), so try to to make your first vote as complete as possible.

Second of all, if it wasn't obvious, don't try to repost your votes. I record the usernames of all voters, and in the event that a re-vote does slip through it can seriously mess up the tally. This has already happened once and I'm fairly certain that I've fixed it, but I worry that too many mistakes will make the list too inaccurate.

Thirdly, please be serious. Do not bother to list characters that do not have their origins in Video Games. I don't mean to be harsh, but even though Goku, Batman, and others have been in a lot of games, it's still a fairly ridiculous concept that they will appear in Smash Bros. I have listed some rather silly suggestions, but Non-Game characters is where I draw the line. Franchises that have not appeared on a Nintendo console at least once in the past are also extremely unlikely, but I may list them.

Lastly, This is not the SSB4 Discussion thread. If you want to chat, go over there.

4. Featured Challenger
Welcome to Featured Challenger, where we draw attention to potential Newcomers.



Rayman



The limbless wonder, Rayman!​

A prominent video game character in his own right, he has but only a few appearances on Nintendo consoles (and most of them are about insane rabbits).

A moveset for Rayman would be obvious. His attacks would make use of the fact that his hands and feet are not restricted by petty limbs. As for specials, Hair-Chopper would be his recovery move, Wind-Up punch would be his Basic Special (and it would have very longe range when fully charged), Side and down special could make use of the many power-ups found in Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc.

If you have any move-sets for Rayman posted somewhere else on the forums, Personal Message me them and I might link to them here!
...Speaking of links...​


5. Links

N88's Poll, A poll by a fellow smasher. It needs some traffic, so show it some love. Or just vote on it. Whichever.

Mewtwo Petition, Mewtwo is in high demand...err, to return to Smash, that is. If you support Mewtwo, be sure to sign your name here!


...And more to come. If you want something to be linked here, be sure PM me about it!​

...So, just for clarification, we can post however many characters on our wish lists? Because, honestly, I've got a larger-than-average list going at the moment. I just want to know if I'd need to trim it down, or post as-is (the list in question containing a solid 40+ characters).

~If not, easily Mewtwo, hands-down my most supported character. I'll post whatever else I've got once clarification has been made. :)

Myself. I think I would make a pretty good character. I don't know why I wasn't in Brawl. Idiots...Also, my friend Ugg wouldn't make a bad character either.

Wouldn't mind seeing some Paper Mario characters in there as well. But when I think Paper Mario I think old school, like how about Kooper. They'd all have **** air/spot dodges though.

You can post it here and I'll try to get it all down. I want the list to be complete as possible (barring the option of including every Nintendo character ever made), but I would prefer it if you only posted the ones you want the absolute most...so trimming it down might be necessary.

---

Also, stating that you want "Zero" or "Zero X" or any other adult version of Megaman will go into a particular category. Stating that you want "Megaman" will be regarded as the demand for the classic Blue Bomber Design.

---

The list is already large, but there are not many characters who have over one vote. Should I post the top scoring characters now?

That may be of some help, although Toad should have about twelve less votes than he currently does (Somebody voted for him like, thirteen times)

Like what we had when Brawl was announced SmashChu? Buti nstead of a smaller board for stages, it's just a thread for stages, then one for characters, gameplay, etc?

That way the stream of conversation won't change that often and we could all focus on one thing at a time, on multiple ones with multiple threads.

CHARACTERS:
B. Jr./Shadow Mario – Reason – He has been in every Mario game since his introduction
King K. Rool* – Reason – Been in almost every Donkey Kong game; main villain of Donkey Kong Country
Ganondorf w/sword* – Reason – I gave him his sword because fans have been asking for it since melee.
Toon Link w/new moveset* – Reason – been in numerous Zelda games; can have a decent moveset
Vaati* – Reason – main villain in 4 swords series; popular (I don’t like him ask me I prefer mask link)
Mewtwo* – Reason – Highly missed in Brawl; eliminated for no reason; Popular; Fits in SSB
New Pokemon* – Reason – Tradition
Falco w/ new Moveset – I am replacing all the clones/semi–clones

All characters from past Smash Bros. Games return.

Geno (SMRPG)
Ridley (Metroid)
Isaac (Golden Sun)
Muddy Mole (Mole Mania)
Little Mac (Punch-Out!!)
Dr. Lobe (Big Brain Academy) / Tom Nook (Animal crossing) [Rep from a "casual" series]

Some of these come from games with little to no violence in them, but I think it's be great to see what the developers can do with the characters to adapt them into Smash's style.

I would main Dr. Lobe in a heartbeat.

I'm disturbed at the lack of suggestions for Tails. Only one person even mentioned him.

I'd be fine with him, Issac and Megaman (classic) getting in along with the Brawl cast (plus Roy and Mewtwo). Oh, and Cress too, since Phantasia came out on the SNES first.
