Replacing the WORST Character from EVERY Series! - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

gotta respect you Siiroth, you took a massive risk not having Dr.Mario be replaced by Waluigi but instead by a more logical character to add. And it worked out!

For Krystal- just remove her assist trophy. They did it with Little Mac.

I love when talking about the legend of Zelda series, the characters were put in their appropriate positions for their piece of the triforce.

I feel you misconceived meta knight in the Kirby section, meta knight has never really been a villain, even when "training" Kirby in his first appearance throwing invincibility lollipops and other items his way in difficult levels. I feel your methodology in replacing him with another villain is a bit flawed. Bandana dee would fill the exact role taken by meta knight, even being a boss in Revenge of the King.

Roy is playstyle wise way more important for smash bros than most others. It’s the same story as with Captain Falcon, he is not populair at all in his games but is basically the icon of smash bros, and I believe that Roy is definitely rising to that level right now, he’s super fun to watch in tournaments and it would suck to never see them again. I would remove Lucina and make Marth more like Lucina making Marth actually usable again.

I think the Metroid rep should be Ravenbeak, the whole time I was fighting him all I could think was how much he felt like he came right out of smash ultimate. Emmis are cool but I don't see them being translated as smoothly, though you could argue Ravenbeak might be a bit too similar to Ridley.

Honestly, you brought up an interesting idea for the Star Fox reps in the game, I wouldn’t mind having Fox, Wolf, and Krystal, with Fox and Wolf having alternate costumes that allow you to play as other members of their respective teams. In truth, I really wish Smash took advantage of both the Alternate Costumes and the Echo Fighters, and just gave us more characters that would hypothetically play like another character already in the game.

I've got to to disagree on replacing Roy. Smash's take on Roy is pretty popular, and Corrin is overwhelmingly the least liked of the lords in the entire series.

For ZSS, I think the better option is if you are gonna get rid of her, have her either as a swap like in Brawl or give them an alt where she keeps her regular suit but have her unmasked so we can get a bit of the character.

I've thought of doing this same concept for a while now, except instead of sticking to series, it would be combined with 'cutting half of the smash roster'.

I personally disagree with Mark replacing Meta Knight Meta Knight was an anti hero not a villain So bandanna could work.

I’m always confused when people say ness and Lucas are the exact same, their moves are similar but all airials tilts grabs throws are completely different

Honestly the only disappointing thing about Sephiroth is that he could've been a rep for another FF, so yeah Tifa is a direct downgrade

I would have loved a Pokemon Trainer style character for Young Link. Switching between Deku, Goron, and Zora forms for the down special would have been great. Deku could have bubble, spin dash and the flowers for standard, side, and up specials. Goron gets super punch, roll out, and ground pound. Zora gets boomerang fin, electric dash, and a dive like move. Final Smash is just Fierce Deity Link doing a flashy attack.

Diddy and Dixie were actually going to be a duo character in Brawl, but Sakurai thought just keeping Diddy was easier.

Honestly I think that having multiple Links would be great series representation if they actually had references to their own games So ideally if the Links got a rework they could all stay, and I personally think that Sheik is quite irrelevant to the Zelda series She was just in Ocarina of Time and didn't even do that much at all (most of her moveset in fact is just generic ninja-looking things), the only reason she was added was because Zelda could have the gimmick of transforming into Sheik but now that they're 2 separate characters there's no need to keep Sheik especially when other character that just appeared in one game are more iconic or have more potential for a moveset that represents their game (Skull Kid, Midna etc.)

As cool as the EMMI would be, I think Raven Beak would make more sense as a new fighter IMO.

Just chiming in here, the reason Pokemon Mystery Dungeon doesn't get represented that much in Smash is the same reason Hyrule Warriors representation is super sparse despite the original Hyrule Warriors being such a killer app for the switch and the first big break out Zelda spin off; it's technically a crossover. Mystery Dungeon started life as a Japan exclusive Dragon Quest spin off and has since become it's own thing through the Shiren series and has regularly crossed over with Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Pokemon and Etrian Odyssey. As a result it's iffy how much Nintendo and Pokemon Company actually make off of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and how much of the series they legally can refrence without needing to license stuff from Chunsoft.

Personal I think if Paper Mario ever got into smash he should represent his own series like Yoshi and Wario do

10:56 Meta knight is not and has never been a villain so it would actually make more sense to replace him with an ally, also, as of now Marx isn't precisely a villain anymore
