The Beam Sword is one of the best weapons, blasphemer. It could only be better if it was the Beam Katana.

Yeah, I like it too. But it's still a Star Wars ripoff. It'd be better to replace it with something less ripoffy, and also something that's actually from a video game.

The monado looks much cooler anyway, and it'd probably be more powerful.

[up]I'd like the Claws from Uprising too, but I'd prefer the basic Claws version.

In a different kind of crossover, I would be all for the Xenoblade characters. Ike and Isaac having to reign in Reyn. Samus going berserk when Sharla shoots at her back. Bionis vs Earth Mimicry but from Super Smash Bros, the main character is a swordsman and not one I think could standout from Nintendo's crop of them. I just don't think he's really built for the largely individual, highly defensive nature of the game, especially not with Marth, Issac, Link, Meta Knight and Pit already being in. Zael, Aeron, Takamaru, Saki/Isa, Alexandra Roivas, Rooks and Isaac/Felix/Matthew for competition along with people who want the likes of Girahim, Kat&Ana, Sword!Ganon and Samurai Goroh, for whatever reason.

Man, why'd Sakurai include Little Mac? We've already got a bunch of unarmed characters! They're most of the roster!

I sure said that!

The other unarmed characters weren't "punchy" enough.

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail.

I don't see any problem in using Shulk, as his fighting style is rather distinct, especially if the more magical Monado moves are in play.

There's too many blondes in the roster already...They should stop making every other game character blonde.

...While trying to think of who the blonde characters were, it just now occurred to me that it's strange that Sheik still has blonde hair in Brawl despite the fact that this version of Zelda has brown hair...

I'm still upset they didn't use the SS design for Smash 4's Zelda.

I personally feel that SS Zelda, while very, very awesome, isn't terribly indicative of any game but Skyward Sword. TP Zelda shares design elements from across the series, even if, admitedly, the exact design is exclusively from TP.

Plus, it means she's a brunette instead of a blonde.tongue

I don't blame them. SS Zelda is quite a departure from the normal depiction of the character.

I hope that they at least make SS Zelda some sort of alt-costume, unlikely as it is.

I like that they use TP Zelda. Not only is she fairly representative design-wise (As stated, SS Zelda is fairly nonstandard), but the brown hair makes her stand out from Peach a bit more.

Sheik has technically canonically been in only one game.

That's kind of amazing for a Smash character.

Impressive for a character in a series with recurring characters.

There have been many Zeldas, but only one who turned into Sheik in her game.

Yeah, there are a lot of unarmed characters but there is a little difference from Donkey Kong to Pikachu to Ness to Captain Falcon. Mack is a dedicated boxer and it was not too hard to think of things he does (gain stars, build meter, deal with asthma, transform, even a counter punch would at least look different than anything comparable) with no other boxer or gimmicks similar to punch out. With the swordsmen we have swash buckler (though Link's shield only works stationary, there is room for another), one handed weaver (Marth, Meta Knight), dual (Pit), bastard (Ike) and there is also a laundry list of contenders other than Shulk. He could be dedicated two handed heavy but that could be Sol Blade Golden Sun leader, Year 42 Sword Aeron, Chaos Blade Zael, Giant Sword Rooks or Takamaru's (though his is comparably thin) distinguished role.

I'm pulling for Alex, Issac and or Isa first, I feel they have more to bring. Most of his moves are support buffs, heals and breaks, sufficiently varied and useful in Xenoblade but unlikely to hold up in here. Eater and Purge are projectiles but they are slow release Full-Contact Magic from an energy sword that has a length shifting gimmick; would they really be visually distinctive, or even mechanically seeing how their secondary effects would be absent? Armor/Shield is something everyone has in Smash. Vision could be a counter of sorts but the Fire Emblem guys do that already. Speed, enchant, cyclone and a filler seem workable but I'm not in any rush to see him on the roster.
