  • What if Super Smash Bros. Brawl had a 70+ character roster, 10+ third party characters, and was a launch title for Wii? You're about to find out.

    Sakurai and HAL Labs would begin development on a sequel almost immediately after the release of this game in a theoretical blessed scenario. It would maintain the mechanics and gameplay feel of our universe's Melee but would expand with new mechanics, game modes, and features.

    Some of the characters here wouldve been cut or replaced, like young link being replaced for toon link, and pichu being replaced for plusle and minun who were a part of the forbidden seven.
    Speaking of the forbidden seven, i could see dixie kong being added as a semi clone of diddy, just like how toon link and wolf were last minute smei clone additions
    And now that wolf was already added in the last game, maybe they could put krystal in this one, since in our timeline she actually was considered but decided against as it was easier to add wolf as a semi clone with the time they had.
    Now that this is the second game and im assuming this is after the first game was a massive success in the blessed timeline, square would probably be fine with cloud joining the roster
    Sub Zero is too much of a pipe dream pick even for this timeline
    I dont see toon link being a highly rquested zelda newcomer when midna, skull kid, impa and even tingle are probably the ones u hear most often when it comes to zelda newcomers in our timeline
    No lynn is kinda odd since she's a fan favourite
    I dont see black shadow being highly requested, he would probably be a toon link or wolf situation where its a bonus semi clone character added late into development. The only reason ppl ask for him in our timeline is so ganondorf can get a new moveset with black shadow using his current moveset but with the brawl/sm4sh smash attacks instead of the sword

And, while I know the stuff shown here is from other mods, I would honestly love to see a mod that takes heavy inspiration from this showcase. There are some questions that I would like to ask involving this version of Brawl if that’s fine.
    1. Would each fighter from the roster get one costume because of Samus’ appearance during the Metroid gameplay at 8:54?
    2. While you’ve shown some new stages in this video, what would the complete stage list be for this timeline of Brawl?
    3. Do you consider Target Test and Classic mode for this game to be similar to either timeline of Melee?

If it were me, I'd make the character roster a bit smaller, and swap out some of the new choices with others (namely Lyn and Krystal) and some of the characters that are featured here would instead be featured in a later game. But hey, it's your video and not mine, so I won't pry on it too much.

    This is how Metroid should have been represented back in Brawl when the franchise still was in its golden age, I still find it baffling how they didn't put Dark Samus which was an easy addition and by now her moveset would have differed more just like Luigi, and of course Ridley who I understand probably was a hard addition during Brawl but still.
    Nice on adding Castlevania too, for some reason I feel like it was a missing 3rd party franchise in Smash for too long considering it's closely tied with Nintendo.

Good newcomer choices as well, excellent video.

    My only complaints about this roster are the absence of Tails and the fact that X is the Mega Man represented instead of the classic one (that's just my personal preference), but other than that, the only characters I would say are missing are the ones whose absences make sense: the Animal Crossing reps (this was before Sakurai thought they could work in a fighting game), Crash Bandicoot (licensing conflict and this was before he was cool again) and anyone who didn't exist back when this game would've come out. It fixes almost all the problems I had with the blessed Melee roster. Also, how the heck are they going to make a coherent Subspace Emissary with a roster this big?
    Edit: So turns out X being on the roster was meant to be Mega Man classic. It was just an oversight. Well that's one less issue I have with this timeline now.

That's always something I've thought about.

    Consequences of the blessed timeline from the previous video (What if Melee was the first Smash game?)
    * Microsoft's buyout of Rareware is butterflied away, as Banjo's appearance in Smash Deluxe implies that either Microsoft's offer fell through, Activision made a better offer, or Nintendo outright bought out Rare. As a result of this, Diddy Kong Pilot and Banjo Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge are released on the GBA as first-party titles (alongside Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Kameo and Viva Pinata onto the GC and Wii, if they aren't butterflied away), Donkey Kong Racing gets finished and released on the GC (butterflying away Donkey Kong Barrel Blast), and Banjo-Threeie is a more traditional platformer, as Nintendo convinces Rare that the ideas for Nuts and Bolts are too divergent of the traditional BK formula. (Nuts and Bolts' engine and mechanics get used for an original property that doesn't exist in our timeline)
    * Square and Enix's merger still happens as in IOT (since FF: The Spirits Within still likely happened), but Squeenix's relationship with Nintendo is improved with Cloud's appearance in SSB, with the ports of FF1 through FF6 on the GBA happening earlier than IOT, as well as graphically enhanced ports of FF7, FF8 and FF9 on the GC with post-game bonus dungeons and bosses and maybe versions of FFX and X-2, FFXI (compatible with the GC broadband adapter), Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 (based on the Final Mix versions) and Dragon Quest 8. (DQ4, 5, 6 and 7 get remakes on the GBA and DS). Geno's inclusion
    * Ryu and Ken's appearance in Smash Deluxe likely build up interest for SFIV, which gets released around the same time as IOT, and gets a slightly downgraded port to the Wii.
    * Metal Gear Solid is ported to the GameCube, and is much more of a straight port than The Twin Snakes, and is followed by a port of MGS2. (which contains a bonus campaign focusing on Snake's perspective that is later included in the Greatest Hits rerelease on the PS2) MGS3 gets a port on the Wii as well.
    * Mother 3 is finished earlier for the N64, as HAL had more time to work on it with Smash 64 being butterflied away. Unlike IOT, it does get an international release as EarthBound 64, due to the drought of JRPGs on the system and is somewhat darker than our timeline's version of the game. Mother 1+2 on the GBA also gets an international release, and has a slightly updated translation for both games, for consistency with both EarthBound and EarthBound 64.
    * As a result of these butterflies, the Nintendo GameCube is more successful than IOT (though still not even coming near the PS2, saleswise), with Nintendo's kiddy image being further shattered and their image of being hard to work with being shattered, with many PS2 or Xbox exclusive games IOT getting GameCube ports. Microsoft's Xbox, while still successful thanks to the popularity of Halo, has to settle for third place.

    Toon Link being a fan favorite when 2 other Links existing
    Blazekin being in the game when there is another fully evolved fire starter right next to it.

      1 - Nintendo would realistic want to promote wind waker, Sakurai likes to add clone characters to make the roster bigger, Toon Link is a safe pick for both sides.
      2 - I don't think Nintendo characters about which type of Pokémon they add in the game, if they did, we would had Decidueye instead of Incineroar in Ultimate (also a Ghost type, because it's baffled that till this day Smash never had a Ghost type Pokémon).
      3 - I agree with Palutena, but Sakurai could make something for her if he want to, but the chances of the moveset being the exact same of Smash 4/Ultimate are kinda low.
      4 - It depends on the development time, if it has enough time to develop both, i think they would add both, but yeah, adding 3 Castlevania characters could be a stretch, but if they had extra time, sure.
      5 - Snake is also from an M Rated game, so, i don't see the problem with Sub-Zero, unless you mean something else?
      6 - It was said on an interview that the issue with Sora getting in Smash was not Disney, but Square, there's also the fact that Sora is a character that need both companies to agree on everything for the character to be added, which must be awful, it's not too unrealistic for Sora to get in, i think the bigger problem is to have both Sora and Hero/Erdrick at once, 2 Square characters with Square being so problematic to work with might be a stretch.

REASONS, weren't as spread out and as big as it is nowadays because of only few people having acess to internet, 2006 was a whole other world pretty much), and Nintendo would more likely choose him over everyone else, i think even Sakurai would, it's just the more likely outcome, it sucks, but it is what it is, although i don't think Blaziken is a bad inclusion overall, there's just better options.
