Super Smash Bros 6 Playable Fighters
Roster Size
Should Smash 6 cut a bunch of Playable Fighters, keep the same roster, or aim for 100 total Playable Fighters?
For this proposal, I've done three things regarding Roster Size:
- Presented a Lite Edition which uses a significantly reduced Core roster.
- Presented a list of characters to consider dropping, shown below.
- Presented a list of characters to consider adding as Playable Fighters, also shown below.
