Could be, but refraining from adding more characters seems equally sensible this late into Smash

@@sleepyswampert Was more talking about in hindsight, as in Toon Zelda and Impa should have just been in the base roster while Zelda/Sheik should have been a stance character again. Whereas if you intend to insinuate that "smash was big enough at launch and it didn't need two more characters" well... I'll assume you didn't mean that because that's stupid. Smash Bros sells itself on it's roster and it's insane size, 90% of ultimate's marketing was "Roster biiiiiiiig, everyone's here for better or for worse", and if the devs could make easy and justifyable characters by taking a character who swaps movesets and essential just making each of those movesets into seprate characters they should. That's three-ish characters on the roster (Zelda/Sheik, Toon Zelda, Impa) instead of two (Zelda, Sheik) and said characters are even from a series (Legend of Zelda) that's pretty popular right now! That makes the number that you sell your game with (the roster number) bigger.

@@DerpaTure9503 I understand where you're coming from but I disagree; • Smash bros historically has HATED changing characters to an absurd dregree because they're afraid it would alienate their old fans, even if it's their fand clamouring for them to change. Putting in Shiek/Zelda, Toon Zelda, Impa is just that. Shiek/Zelda exist for the few people who loved that original gimmick and so the devs can build upon it while Toon Zelda and Impa ensure their modern fans still have someone to play as. • Games like Smash Bros and MvC are made or broken by their rosters. Oh sure you can't make up for being a bad game with a huge roster but you can make up for being a sub-par game with an insanely ballooned roster (Yes that's how I see ultimate, Street Fighter 5 too tbh...) On top of that people having been crying injustice on how underepresented the Zelda series is and while I don't think Impa and a second Zelda will totally aleviate that issue it's certainly a push in the right direction.

@@DerpaTure9503 • Kinda selfish to say but I'd pick 'em. I love characters like Pokemon Trainers and Aegis and I think you can make Zelda and Shielk compliment each other very well without changing them too much. Shiek's already a fast and brutal rushdown who has a hard time securing kills, I say make Zelda a varied and highly damaging zoner with solid kill options and shield breaking moves but less safe close range options and basically no combos. • Smash bros is FULL of pointless characters. Pichu? After all the nerfs what fucking reason do you have to play Pichu over Pikachu? What about the THREE GOD DAMN LINK!? What about aaaall the echoes that have no major or meaningful differences from their counterparts like Dark Samus, Daisy or Richter? You're going to tell me having 1.5 Zeldas and 1.5 Shiekahs is too far when we have THREE links?

idk it happens when I'm not looking

Yes, but I decided early on that I would only do that with characters that I changed too drastically. At the core Sheik still plays the same. Everything a Sheik main knows would still transfer over in this new design. But when I give a character like Ganondorf a total makeover the fans of the old design would need a replacement since the old moveset is still fun.

@@sleepyswampert Yes! A black shadow or groose over old ganondorf would be cool, i think Nintendo could sell these as "Legacy" charecters rather then Echos or instead give them a retro look and make them Retro versions of some charecters.

I do the characters in roster order. But yeah I do want a more Wario Land themed moveset.

@@sleepyswampert thanks man.

@@sleepyswampert will you change Mr. G&W's moveset?

@@psicopato2460 Parts of it at least

@@sleepyswampert oh, all right

Have you heard me in person?
