Phew… that’s a lot of Smash.
Congratulations, you’ve run the gamut of my Smash Brothers dream. From how, to who, to where, this is what I want from the Wii U/3DS Smash Bros games. Do I expect all of it? No, not by a longshot. Are there some things in here I’m more confident about than others? Yes, absolutely. However, if the amount of thought and time I put into writing this proposal is also put into the planning of the next game, then we’ll all be in great hands.
If I missed anything, or if there’s something particular you want to see in the next Smash, leave it in the comments or tweet it to @GamerNode or @BigManFanelli. There’s nothing I like more than hearing others’ ideas.

Yo Jason, this is my first time reading one of your articles (I found it on n4g) but dude your really good! Your idea’s are mind blowing! And as far-fetched and outgoing as they may seem, they are all entirely possible. You even thoroughly explain HOW it is possible. The Master mode and Virtual camera idea is among the best I ever heard. Others only focus on what characters will be in the game, HOWEVER, you focus on how to expand the gameplay itself. Check out gamasutra.com and pick a gaming school, Jason. You definitely should be in game design. I’d love to hear more of your idea’s!
If you think they’re going to get rid of Lucario, the only playable fighting type Pokemon in a fighting game… you really aren’t thinking straight. Since Mario and Pokemon got six playable character each in SSBB (yes I’m counting Wario and Yoshi even though they had their own franchise icons since they appear in numerous Mario spinoffs as well as Squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard as their own playable characters), they should continue to have the same amount of playable characters in the new SSB. Since you have a total of 8 Mario characters in your character list, Pokemon should get 8 playable characters as well since both franchises are the best selling franchises of all time. The Pokemon characters I’d put in are Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Charizard (as his own character), Lucario, and a 5th generation Pokemon Trainer with 3 Pokemon. That gives both franchises 8 playable characters each. Other than that, I love everything else you did on the article. Great job!
