I think I may have to make a new thread about my speculation SSF2 roster. I have lots of things to say about my reasons for certain choices.

I promise it will be substantial.

How do you think the Veteran/Newcomer roster split will be like in the final game? I think it's going to be even at 6 vets and 6 newcomers each. IMO...

Veterans

- Diddy Kong
- Ganondorf
- King Dedede
- Mewtwo
- Lucas
- Snake

Newcomers

- K. Rool
- Ridley
- Lyn
- Andy
- Simon Belmont
- Knuckles

I hate to post again, but could I have a recap of what the devs have said about how characters are chosen in Super Smash Flash 2. It's been such a long time since I've read the SSF2 newcomer rules.

Pretty much the same as in any other crossover project I would imagine;

-Is this character doable (think of potentional engine limitations for example)
-What new elements and mechanics could the character bring to the table?
-Does the character stand out theme-wise (design/visuals/personality/body type)

Popularity is more of a cathalyst (I hope I spelled that right) that makes us examine the above factors for a character.

Alright thanks, these are some new rules I see. When did these rules get posted, just curious.

We don't think of them as rules so much as guidelines really. They have always been the values of the team I guess, especially the current team.

It's certainly possible. Any argument I can think of against him is rendered null by Snake, who a lot of us agree is pretty much a shoo-in. So Leon's possible.

Aside from Chris being the more iconic protagonist really. Though I could see reasons for either one

You guys are going to kill me
one day, ice climbers
one day

The single biggest reason I have hope for them is because of the Bigboxes system. That alone, I think, cuts down resource usage enough to make them possible. Not necessarily easy, but possible.

Now I always wonder if Starfy has ever been reconsidered for character status. I know he's an AT in Smash Flash 2, but I think his franchise deserves character representation as I LOVED the Legendary Starfy and his unique swimming abilities would be fun to use.

I'd love that infamous Starfy vs. Kirby match-up.

I'm pretty confident that the Ice Climber's will be in the game due to stuff that happened.

Anyway, I still want to see Scorpion. Iconic, from a franchise that has a long history with Nintendo, second best-selling fighting game franchise, unique visuals, and he could provide an interesting move set, and utilize things like the ex-meter and combo breaks for a gimmick.

That gives me an idear
Why not knock down the rating from M to E10 by swapping Scorpion for another character who's been popping up recently with similar traits?

Lower the rating? Why? Snake and Bayonetta are from rated m games. Not to mention the fact that swapping the characters doesn't even make sense. Scorpion in Rash are completely different, and the ex-meter and combo breakers aren't even mechanics in the Battle Toads games.

I honestly would love to have Jill & Drill Dozer (the girl with the drill that appeared as an AT in Brawl).
I really would love to pierce the heavens using her
Drill Dozer is truly one of my favorite GBA games, and my favorite non-Pokémon Game Freak game.
