Super Smash Bros. 4: Our Top Candidates by Time Paladin

I asked several fellow artists on Colors which characters they wanted to see most in the next Smash Bros. game. These are their personal top picks as well as mine. Who's your number one choice for a newcomer in the next Smash Bros. game? ( #SuperSmashBros #TimePaladin #Whoever #Victor #NyaNya #TCG #TheCartoonGuy #TheWiccanStar #Phosphora #Zoroark #Ghirahim #Shulk #PacMan #Mii)

Can't tell if TGC wants himself, or an option to play your Mii...

It's a longshot, but I definatley want to see Banjo/Kazooie in the next game.

HECK YAH PAC-MAN

MaximumZelda

07 Aug, 2013, 10:47 pm

I'm with Nya-Nya. I would LOVE it if Ghiriham was in it! :D It would be an instant buy. (Even though it already is.) :D

shadow blade

07 Aug, 2013, 10:51 pm

Magnus, Tetra, Midna, Wolf Link, Young Link with his masks, one of the Metroid Prime hunters

shadow blade

07 Aug, 2013, 10:52 pm

Nice job too

SafariFox

07 Aug, 2013, 10:58 pm

Phantom R/Raphiel(Rythme Thief and the Emporers tresure) would be pretty good, also Chrom(Fire Emblem Awakening) would be excellent.

SafariFox

07 Aug, 2013, 11:01 pm

keep in mind, not every character is fit for smash bros. aka, goomba is not, koopa is not, enemies that are more than one, and midna and fii, helpers not ment for combat

SafariFox

07 Aug, 2013, 11:01 pm

chrom would be very good :>

Time Paladin

07 Aug, 2013, 11:21 pm

Safarifox: True, but there really is no way of knowing for certain which characters would be suitable for this game. If anyone suggested Wii Fit Trainer before the announcement, people would've probably said that she wouldn't work out either. Not that I disagree, but I'd always welcome unexpected characters. (except maybe Regie, who people are literally petitioning for to be in SSB4 >_<).

BlackSamurai247

07 Aug, 2013, 11:24 pm

Hm...probably Cha-Cha from MH3U :3

FlamingBlitz

07 Aug, 2013, 11:25 pm

Maybe Marth and Chrom will be in it or it could be Marth only

Whispers

07 Aug, 2013, 11:50 pm

Yeah C:

Bowpmsas

08 Aug, 2013, 12:10 am

Pac-Man, FTW!

Hm...well...how about Dry Bowser? If he would count as Bowser, maybe Shadow Mario... : 3

Nintenartist

08 Aug, 2013, 12:30 am

YES YOU DONT SUPPORT REGIE! I still can't believe people want him in! I really really really want King K.Rool in!

xenoblade rlz

lin-chan

08 Aug, 2013, 1:41 am

Aww, I really want Marth to make it, eve though I know he won't TT^TT

Short Curcuit

08 Aug, 2013, 1:59 am

I would love to see Tetra as a Zelda/Sheik combo but a ToonZelda/Tetra combo!

{NintendoCraft}

08 Aug, 2013, 2:32 am

They should add Custom Characters in Adventure mode.

jediluigi1

08 Aug, 2013, 3:12 am

Failninja: Namco is part of the development team for SSB4 which is why many people want pacman in. But Sakurai said he would limit 3rd party characters and that a Namco-Bandai character is unlikley

Time Paladin

08 Aug, 2013, 3:28 am

^He didn't say it was unlikely, just that Namco wouldn't get special treatment. In other words, it depends entirely on the character.

HEDROVER

08 Aug, 2013, 4:04 am

I'm gonna be different and guess a Nintendo character XoD
Prince Fluff from Kirby. Yarn attacks. Awwwwww yeah. :oy
AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A FAWFUL AS.SIST TROPHEEEE

NioXoiN

08 Aug, 2013, 4:11 am

an ice climber move set touch up.

NioXoiN

08 Aug, 2013, 4:14 am

girahim's final smash could be him in his final form or maybe the more damaged he is the higher teir he becomes. final could be him turning into the anti master sword and acting like super sonic does(flys around)

NioXoiN

08 Aug, 2013, 4:22 am

don't really see how phosfora wouldent be over powered. mii, well they did mention custumization. zorarch, well mewtwo was popular then it was lucario but i think the best odds is someone with the similar moveset to not angrey anyone, mostlikely an x/y pokemon. idk whom that is above vic... and even though link was able to beat all of his forms, girahim seems like he would be over powered or a more melee based zelda move set.

NioXoiN

08 Aug, 2013, 4:24 am

mix between marth and zelda seems like a counter would suit him. all those counter he did in game... and towering "rockets" you can hit on time to reflect.

NioXoiN

08 Aug, 2013, 4:27 am

correction idk who that is above, whoever i know who packman is lol. i don't really see potentail for packman i see as much potentail for him in this game as much as any tekin character.

Nintenartist

08 Aug, 2013, 4:43 am

the character above whoever is Shulk from Xenoblade

Tazboi

08 Aug, 2013, 5:17 am

TCG's right. A mii has SO much potential. It's moves could be various sport equipment from wii sport resort, such as the bow and arrow. A final smash could be the jet plane from pilotwings.

Tazboi

08 Aug, 2013, 5:23 am

But if I'm to pick a character that's not shown above, it'll have to be professer layton!
...No, seriously! He could use his fencing sword from miracle mask. Or use his robot dog from curious village. His final smash would have don pallo triggering the big ferris wheel, smashing other players off the court. =)

Tazboi

08 Aug, 2013, 5:24 am

But if only I could have Steve...

Lonewolf_X

08 Aug, 2013, 5:35 am

Ratchet and Clank would be so epic in this game, too bad it will never happen. Oh well.

Time Paladin

08 Aug, 2013, 6:02 am

^Ratchet & Clank are already in Playstation All-Stars, which is a pretty decent game that's similar to Smash Bros., if you own a PS3.

Yoshi Ringo

08 Aug, 2013, 7:26 am

Totally agree with Wiccan, Zoroark has a big chance of being in, but sadly replacing Lucario. : (

Tazboi

08 Aug, 2013, 10:20 am

What I've also noticed is that the artists shown have been drawn in your gallery before...

coincidence?

Time Paladin

08 Aug, 2013, 11:54 am

Yoshi Ringo: While Zoroark is a likely candidate to be included, I don't think it will be at Lucario's expense. Lucario is a lot more popular than some people seem to think. He's been in a number of episodes on top of his own movie, he played a prevelant role in the animated short for Black & White 2 as well as appearing in the interactive feature on X & Y (both way beyond his own generation), and was included in the first wave of figurines for Pokemon Rumble U alongside Pikachu and beginer Pokemon (and we all know how popular those guys are).

LOLOLOLOLOL TCG!!!xDDDDDDDDDDD And I want Chocohim, not Fabuhim--- heh but I like fabuhim too so it's ok!xD but my love is chocohim-- :V awesome pic!!x3 I can't stop laughing at TCG...x'DDDD

Nintenartist

08 Aug, 2013, 6:19 pm

I'd say Mewtwo has a better chance than Zoruark. Sakurai said he's thinking about Mewtwo, also with His new form being introduced in X and Y. Zoruark has been in 1 movie and hasn't been a very important pokemon. Zorua appeared more in the Anime, so mabye Zorua as a pokeball pokemon? I'd also say Mewtwo is more popular and more requested.

The Awesome Arceus

08 Aug, 2013, 6:30 pm

Everbody! Ftw! XD You missed spelled the tag Ghirahim! There is no ''n'' in has name! XD

Time Paladin

08 Aug, 2013, 6:38 pm

Nintenartist: Speaking of which, guess which Pokemon just had a new form announced today. Check out this tag:

#MegaLucario :)

Time Paladin

08 Aug, 2013, 6:42 pm

The Awesome Arceus: Fixed :)

sonicspinball980

08 Aug, 2013, 9:15 pm

the only character I agree with is pacman these other have just about no chance of making it in!

sonicspinball980

08 Aug, 2013, 9:16 pm

i agree with zoroak too

Time Paladin

08 Aug, 2013, 11:08 pm

^Based on what? There's no reason that any of these characters have less of a chance than other characters. Would you have said Wii Fit Trainer was likely before the announcement?

Sketchy_Smeargle

09 Aug, 2013, 1:07 am

All these would be awesome in SSB4. I'd love to see Smeargle in a Smash Bros game as at least a pokeball character, but I doubt He'll be a playable character. He's not exactly a recognizable pokemon...

Kutie

09 Aug, 2013, 1:36 am

I would love to see Shulk from Xenoblade or Neku from The World Ends With You in the new game, but that will never happen T-T

monkfishlover

09 Aug, 2013, 5:09 am

I hope they add Shulk!

emoji

09 Aug, 2013, 5:59 am

chrom!

jediluigi1

09 Aug, 2013, 11:45 am

Each of these characters have potential. But Ive always perfered Lucario over Zorark. People on miiverse say miis are unlikeley but they could use weapons/items from Find mii, Nintendo land, pilotwings, or Wii sports :/ Phosphora has a decent chance she was pretty popular in KI:U But honestly i'd want magnus more :l But Sakurai made KI:U sooooo... KI:U OVER KIL.L IN SSB4 :p Shulk and most Xenoblade characters are owned by nintedo so he has a high chance. Plus, it would be a great way to get Xenoblade out there, I never even heard about it before people started requesting Shulk :p Even though SSB4 is being made by Namco, Sakurai said Pacman is unlikley and Namco characters have an Ok chance :/ Pacman has no potential moveset though, BUT another namco character like Lloyd would Fit right in :) Ghirihim was very popular when Skyward Sword was realesed :l Should replace ganondorf since ganon's B moveset is basicly Captain Falcon's But i bet Both Ganon AND Ghirihim will be in :)
And Fin

jediluigi1

09 Aug, 2013, 11:55 am

I want less mario characters :l So far in SSB Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey kong, Yoshi, Diddy, peach and Wario have been in a SSB game, thats 8 characters that all originated from mario some with spinoff series. Paper Mario has Potential his series is popular and technicaly he is not a mario character since he was never in Mario kart/party(s)/Sport games And to those to say he's a clone... HAMMA TIME :P
Waluigi isnt even in classic mario games, he originated and is only in Mario Kart/Party(s)/Sports Bowser Jr. Could be in since he originated from Mario sunshine not a sports game.

jediluigi1

09 Aug, 2013, 11:56 am

Some people on miiverse want Goku in. Idiots

Tomthebrit96

09 Aug, 2013, 1:12 pm

I think Rayman would be a good character to have but it's doubtful since legends is no longer wii u exclusive. other ones would be simon belmont, pac man, bomberman, gen 2/3 pkmn trainer, protoman, Geno, tails or knuckles(i'm confidante sonic will return)
as a joke character i'd have the dude from the NES game urban champion, he'd only have 2 moves, punch and kick, he'd be my main

alexerieinc

09 Aug, 2013, 2:42 pm

me it would be Mallo from Pushmo :D Imagine him smashing a bloc and it crash on the ennemy,XD it would be funny!

zipz_zap

09 Aug, 2013, 3:22 pm

mines Pauline and Palutena

sonicspinball980

09 Aug, 2013, 8:19 pm

@Timepaladin yeah you have a point

Do The Bartman

10 Aug, 2013, 5:17 pm

I want Goku a Naruto

PRTArtist

11 Aug, 2013, 11:59 pm

I'm rooting for Zoroark!

Athens

13 Aug, 2013, 5:07 pm

I second this notion. GROOSE!

Karakuridoji of Envy

14 Aug, 2013, 2:05 pm

o^o Wolf Link & Midna...?

SafariFox

14 Aug, 2013, 6:31 pm

^it could work :D but he needs a move that activates midna turning him into a wolf, meaning they would need to replace a move.

Zenon

18 Aug, 2013, 5:05 pm

Don't push your luck, boys and girl. Sakurai may take requests, but he basically does whatever he wants. I mean, who asked for the Wii Fit Trainer?

Zenon

18 Aug, 2013, 5:07 pm

But still. We can dream, can't we?

Time Paladin

19 Aug, 2013, 4:26 am

Zenon: That's actually kinda what I'm hoping for. I don't think Phosphora would get in if it was based entirely on how frequently characters were requested. There is a way I could see her getting in though, and that's if Sakurai decided to represent the three warring factions in Kid Icarus Uprising. I realise though that this doesn't affect the outcome of the game. It's just fun speculation. :)

Wafar

21 Aug, 2013, 3:42 am

What about Chase Mcain?

Faron Tail

28 Aug, 2013, 6:06 am

Well, phosphora, since she was a baddy in the game and not super focused on, would most likely be an a.ss.ist trophy, If anyone would be a playable character from KI:U, it would be magnus, since he got more attention, heck you play as magnus once. Ghihiram would be a.ss.ist, Packman, maybe a.ss.ist. Zoaroark would be a.ss.ist, Mii might be playable. Also remember, these characters would need moves to match, if they dont have the moves they become a.ss.ist.

Emaginary

28 Aug, 2013, 10:24 pm

i personally would love to see ameterasu, spyro and cynder, girahim, and zoroark

MustangGt

31 Aug, 2013, 2:49 am

i would choose u time paladin.

Nintenartist

07 Sep, 2013, 5:43 pm

The Kid Icarus characters that I think have a chance of getting in, Palutena: Second most main character, been in every game, But Pit would never fight her under normal circumstances. Magnus: New character to uprising and is very strong for a human. Phosphora: Really the only way to represent the forces of nature without putting Viridi in herself, If shes not playable we could see her as a stage hazard as a reset bomb stage has already been confirmed.

Time Paladin

07 Sep, 2013, 7:38 pm

^I can agree with that. I also think Thanatos has a fair shot because he'd be one of the best reps for the underworld army (and seeing as Sakurai enjoys including unusual characters in Smash Bros., Thanatos could fit in quite nicely).

Shy The Cat

10 Sep, 2013, 12:45 am

I can totally see pacman and TCG kicking booty XD

Aaron's Crazy World!

17 Sep, 2013, 6:07 am

TCG looks like a girl in the pic xP

MrOverlord

07 Oct, 2013, 12:42 pm

I think that the Black Mage from the earier versions of Final Fantasy.

He was in Super Smash Flash which is a fan-made game and an awesome version of SSB with characters the creator thought would make a nice fit in Brawl.
You can play it online but you can also download it which I find to be better. You should try it if you haven't yet.

Time Paladin

07 Oct, 2013, 12:48 pm

^Already have. :)

Faron Tail

29 Nov, 2013, 11:02 am

I can say all of these have a chance: Phosphora and Pacman may end up summons, Zoarork a pokeball, and the rest playable.

AKAFoxTail

03 Dec, 2013, 11:10 am

Zoroark or Pacman would be pretty cool. :'D
And i'm actually suprised mii characters weren't introduced in SSBB. XD
I mean, who DOESN't like the idea of being in a game? XD

But what I wanna see in SSB4 is Klonoa, because the dude has so much potential. uvu
He is from Namco after all, and Namco is helping with this one soooooo, idk. <XD
*fingers crossed*

Mr_Bello

08 Dec, 2013, 11:39 pm

Pac-Man? Why Pac-Man? He's not cut out for fightin.

julianx2rl

26 Dec, 2013, 3:17 pm

Pacman an eternal classic... it should be interesting to see it on next Smash.

Gills

31 Mar, 2014, 6:39 am

i want Protoman and Pkmn trainer (Gen6 is best bet tho) definitly!

_Aria_

10 Jun, 2014, 8:30 pm

Toon Zelda. I FREAKIN WANT TOON ZELDA!!! Or I'm just gonna be mad. B/

DiamondAppendix

27 Jun, 2014, 1:07 pm

How about Cha-Cha/Kayamba from Monster Hunter? They would be fun to play :] I know that MH isn't a Nintendo serie, but Pac-Man, Megaman, Sonic, and Snake are not, either :P

DiamondAppendix

27 Jun, 2014, 1:11 pm

Also, it would be very nice to play as Final Fantasy characters. But even if SSB4 devs won't add them, I'll still will be able to play for them as Mii Fighter, cuz I got the Miis :3

JoshifireDS

30 Aug, 2014, 5:16 pm

miis, shulk and pacman confirmed! ghirahim and phosphora deconfirmed...
