I wouldn't mind if Ness was given a skillset that actually matched what he had in Earth Bound and then they added Paula with skillset similar to what Ness has now.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!My vote is to have Ness and Lucas swap Standard Special Moves, with Lucas being reimagined as a Barrier Warrior type and Ness retaining most of his now-classic moveset.
I sure said that!I'd normally expect a third Mother character... if Sakurai didn't already make it clear he didn't want a super huge roster. I'd say two is perfectly fine. I wouldn't mind Lucas being thrown out for a more original style of character, or if they at least change him up heavily from Ness. Namely those specials. Only PK Ice was somewhat unique.
I like Duster myself. Masked Man isn't bad either.
Shadow?and can we just drop the whole "Sakurai said this roster will be smaller this time!" schtick?
First of all, no he didn't. Secondly, at this point we're at 30 characters (33 if you go ahead and count Jiggs Ness and the Cap, since no way they're going anywhere), and that's not even getting into characters already implied to be in the game like Wario and the Ice Climbers. I don't think we're gonna go over 50 or anything, but I think the stage is set to atleast have a roster larger than Brawls.

I personally think there would be around 48.
Smash N64 had 12 characters.
Melee had 25 characters.
Brawl had 36 characters.
I'm only counting the character slots not transformations.
I think that Melee should have had only 24 slots so my reasoning would have made sense that with each game they are adding 12 new characters. So maybe it would be 50 to double the amount of characters in Melee.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure

Yeah half way through my post I realized it didn't work because I was under the impression that Melee had only 24 character slots before I started my post which would have worked perfectly for how many characters I thought would be in Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS.
That is why I changed it to be 50 towards the end of my post since that is double the character slots that Melee had.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure![]()
That an official thing, or just a site someone made to seem like a leaker?
Magnus isn't a demon, though.
Maybe if it was suggesting a Magnus/Gaol team, but Gaol isn't really a demon, either. Just a human in cursed armor.
I can't think of any Fire Emblem characters who fit the demon/mercenary thing either.
Also, the "coming to Nintendo" seems to suggest it's a new character who wasn't Nintendo before.
