- MUST have 1 new character from:
- Mario
- Zelda

Aside from that, I'm letting you have free reign. Send your rosters ASAP to meleemarth01@gmail.com! (tilde x4) MeleeMarth01 (talk) 18:21, 15 November 2011 (EST)
Contest UpdateEdit
ToastUltimatum already sent me an entry. Also, the entry deadline for this contest is Saturday, December 3. Remember: meleemarth01@gmail.com! (tilde x4) MeleeMarth01 (talk) 20:33, 17 November 2011 (EST)
Rule ChangesEdit
After thinking about the rules, I've changed them a bit. Here is Requirement List 2.0, a bit cut down:
- No more than 80 fighters (Zelda/Sheik, etc. are allowed)
- MUST have original 12
- MUST have 1 new character from:
- Mario
- Zelda
- F-Zero
- Pokémon
I think this is pretty reasonable. Random just feels necessary; 80 fighters is a lot; see Super Smash Bros. if you need to know who the original 12 are; and the four series that I chose are pretty easy to deal with. Good luck; send your contest to: meleemarth01@gmail.com!

- Pokémon Trainer uses the gen V male trainer's design and uses Oshawott, Servine, & Emboar.
- Olimar only has pikmin from pikmin 1 (Red, Blue, Yellow), while Louie uses all of the pikmin (including Bulbmin, although they are extremely rare)
- Ridley is once again a boss, as he would have to be scaled down ridiculously to be a fighter compared to his Brawl appearance.
- Waluigi has so far only appeared in mario sports spinoffs, and is not important enough (in my opinion) to be included.
- THIRD PARTIES ARE NOT WELCOME HERE!!!1!
- Any questions about why a certain character wasn't added can be brought up on my talk page. Usually, it is because he/she was deemed not important enough (in my opinion) to be represented in smash, or he/she is from a game i haven't played or seen.
- Feel free to fix spelling errors.
- Characters with 2 forms have their method of change denoted as DS (Down Special) T (Taunt) CS (Color Scheme) or FS (Final Smash).
- Veterans with FS transformations would have their final smashes altered (eg. Bowser summoning a wave of lava to kill foes and change to dry bowser, and Giga Bowser retaining his boss status)

The ResultsEdit
Wow. Those were all amazing rosters! Thank you to all the entrants.
Now, I will rank the rosters, from sixth to first. Don’t be ashamed of your ranking; this was a very tough decision.
6. RickTommy: He included lots of new characters, which I appreciated. Some of the choices were very interesting to me, such as Kamek and Midna. However, it seemed like he thought of this contest as a joke when he included Homestar Runner and Strong Bad. This contest was supposed to have characters from Nintendo and other game developers involved, not characters from YouTube.
5. Pokémonultimate: He also included lots of newcomers (I liked the idea of Magolor in particular), and took the Pikmin series to a new level with Olimar and Louie. But he also seemed to be a bit rude when he said that “third parties are not welcome here.” (This was ripped directly from his userpage, which is why I left his comments in.) Third-party characters were an idea that Sakurai himself approved, and so it would be a bad idea not to include any. Also, since Sonic and Snake are already in the series, it is unlikely that they would be taken out.
T2. These next three all were amazing rosters, but just came up short. Some reasons why they were not the winner were placeholders, image quality, and odd characters that only appeared in one or two games (I appreciate that, but some things just don’t make sense).
The three rosters belong to FireEmblem275, JamesHeart123, and ToastUltimatum.
Which means that…
LightningBlue, you are the winner of my SSB4 roster contest! Congratulations!
As a reward for winning, I will try to organize a Wi-Fi session with you as soon as possible.
Thank you to everybody that entered, and congratulations to all that entered! MeleeMarth01 20:12, 5 April 2012 (EDT)
