I wonder if there even will be another Smash Bros game beyond the NX port

They can't add any more characters... what's the point?

Umm choosing only 25 out of 60 already existing Smash characters would be crazy hard. Even if you scratch all clone characters.

I'd make it more like a traditional fighter.

They can add plenty more characters.

Why would Nintendo stop producing one of the their biggest IP and the most successful fighting game in the world

Hmm lets see. First thing I'd do is ditch the Pokemon. They feel horribly out of place and Pokken exists now. Then after that.

Mario Characters
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina, Bowser, Wario, Waluigi, Yoshi

Human characters
Link, Zelda, Ganon/dorf, Samus, Shulk, Elma, Villager. Wii Fit Trainer. Tsubasa and Itsuki

Animorphic Characters
SquidGirl. Callie/Marrie, DK, Fox McCloud, Falcon, Kirby, King DD.

Surprise Characters
3rd party characters that fit the art style and will be supporting the NX

I don't know, I think there are a lot of characters Nintendo can add. It's just that aside from the Inklings there aren't going to be as many A-listers left.

I tried to compile a list of the people NeoGAF voted for back when the Smash 4 ballot started. Didn't keep track of numbers though, but I think the most popular ones were pretty obvious: Toad and Inkling and the like.

As in "Heathcliff"
I'd make it more like a traditional fighter.

I know it's probably a bait but I'm going to bite it regardless. Nope, just nope.

there is a rumor, I copied and pasted from Smash Community OT.

Upcoming Smash

What we know so far:

Let me emphasize that what we already know is basically rumors from reliable source(s). We don't have any idea on what to expect from Sakurai, Nintendo and Smash NX, other than the game is planned to be one of launch titles for upcoming console, NX.

The initial tweets regarding Smash NX came from one of the most reliable sources, known as Dr. Serkan Toto. He has been correct regarding numerous Nintendo rumors as far as I know. He broke the initial rumor on January 28, 2016.


Another source is Emily Rogers. I'm not sure if she heard the rumor from her own source, or just repeated what she heard from Dr. Toto. Hopefully we will get some kind of clarification on that.

To answer your question about characters. There are still characters that people wanted to see in Smash Bros:

Inkling
Rhythm Heaven
Wolf
Ice Climbers
Snake (low chance)
7th Gen Pokemon (like Robin Hoot, Robin Root, or final form of Grass Owl)
King Rool
Dixie Kong
and many more.

It's not that I can't believe there are people in the world like this... It's more "why are there people in the world like this?"
 
1. Mario - Basically mandatory

2. Luigi - Kind of a "waste of space" but he's basically mandatory

3, Yoshi - Maybe not 100% needed but I don't think it'd be wise to drop him

4. Peach - Not in the original but she's impossible to drop now

5. Bowser - Both a heavyweight and villain

6. DK - Basically mandatory

7. Link - No shit

8. Zelda - Maybe make her down B turn her into Sheik again?

9. Samus - Obvious

10. Fox - There would probably be riots if he weren't in

11. Captain Falcon - Can't let him go~

12. Pikachu - Basically mandatory

13. Mewtwo/Lucario/some other fan favorite - Don't know enough about modern Pokemon to know who is most worthy

14. Kirby - It's yo boi

15. King Dedede - Another heavyweight and villain slot

16. Mr. Game & Watch - It'd feel wrong to leave him out

17. Ness - Don't care for him at all but he can't be dropped

18. Duck Hunt Dog - Fills a similar role as Mr. Game & Watch and I pick him over Ice Climbers

19. Lucina - Replaces Marth as main Fire Emblem rep

20. Ike - I guess? Need another FE rep and he's the 2nd one I thought of

21. Sonic - Pretty mandatory 3rd party character

22. Megaman - Can't imagine dropping him now

23. Little Mac - Why not?

24. Pit - Almost forgot a Kid Icarus rep

25. Villager - Same as above but for AC

New characters

26. Ridley - Don't even care for Metriod but it's honestly about time he showed up

27. Bandana Dee - New Kirby rep
plus look at my name and pic...

28. King K Rool - New DK rep and often requested

29. Captain Toad - Can't imagine not having a new Mario rep

30. Inkling - No shit

I tried to be as fair and logical as possible
while still putting in my dream character
.
 
Not sure why the outrage over the title, do people not read???
Quite the backfire lol. I thought I was being straightforward with the notion that "You are the new Smash Bros. director!"
You got me, OP. I don't think your thread's bad, though, so let me give it a try.

Starting with the bonus characters:

-snip-

And wow, I'm already out.
Solid lineup. You get to 25 fast, right? When creating mine I was lke "Shietttt, Ganondorf didn't even make my list.."

Reading why people love/choose the characters they do is exciting.
 

Squire

Banned
Main roster: Every girl from Fire Emblem
Unlocks: Every girl from Fire Emblem that didn't fit into the main roster
 
The only charcter that looks out of place in Smash is Ganondorf. And that's because of the Art style. He looks straight up goofy.

The art style in Melee and Brawl suited him more.

Anyways new Character: Paper Mario.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
I'd introduce a little known character called jump momentum. Sonic might have to get booted though.

Dammit wtf.

Hey you guys, here's a preview of my next thread. Check it out!

HOLY SHIT: New Half-Life 3 Details!

List what you want to see in the game, if it ever even happens.
 
I knew this would be a game thread. Come one guys, there's no way there would be a news of a new Smash Director or even rumour right now. Too soon.

The NX port will probably just be Sakurai being slaved again.

Starting from zero & rebuilding the gameplay from the ground-floor in a way that can better satisfy Melee fans as well as existing Smash 4 players (not to mention introducing new mechanics that can heavily change how Smash is played, like replacing Final Smashes with a dedicated Super Meter). It's the same reason why Capcom, Arc System Works, or SNK start from scratch for new numbered entries of their fighting games.

Honestly, would they really have to build a whole new engine for that?

The Project M team was able to successfully radically overhaul Brawl's engine into something that was basically identical to that of Melee's. I don't see how an official dev team with 100x the budget and development power couldn't do that, provided they even wanted to make a Melee styled game.
