Description With all the recent announcements and 'leaks', my hype for SSB4 is building immensely! I thought to celebrate my renewed interest, I'd create a fake character select screen. 
Bare in mind this is still a work in progress, and I do intend to keep updating this with future announced characters, we'll just have to see how much the new guys mess up my order!


* 30/1/14 - Minor update, made the image overall a tad larger, tweaked the colours a bit, increased the size of the 'player patches' a bit as well.


* 31/1/14 - Trust Sakurai to reveal another character the day after I've adjusted the image! Anyway, I've now added Lucario, and changed the organisation of the characters a wee bit. The background has also gained a bit of colour, to reflect this being Wii U based (red and blue have been used to differentiate the 2 versions of the game in official media).


* 14/2/14 - Little Mac enters the ring! Background colours have also been diluted a bit.


* 21/2/14 - Diddy unleashes his monkey banana! This little bugger was a pain to make an icon for, his pose on the dojo is so awkward! Anyway, I'm glad he's back, one of my favourites on Brawl.

* 12/4/14 - Pardon for the slight delay in this update, work got in the way. Apart from obviously including the new characters, I used this update as an opportunity to add a mock character select for a bit of fun.
Anyway, how awesome was that Nintendo Direct?! I must admit the particular characters shown off have screwed up my order a bit, but I'm sure upcoming announcements will help rectify this! Can't wait to be smashing on my 3DS this summer!

* 27/5/14 - Prepare yourselves, Ike returns to battle! Order has been changed up to accommodate the now quite large roster!

* 11/6/14 - Update 7: E3! Oh boy Nintendo wrecked this year, solid Direct, non stop updates throughout the day, and of course, the Smash Bros Invitational! Still can't believe they did the tournament, what a great experience. 
Anyway, characters! First off, I am beyond hyped for Palutena, she was my most wanted new character for this game, and she looks great, incorporating loads of elements from Kid Icarus Uprising (including the legendary banter!). Next up, the Mii's!.... ugh, don't really care for them, although I have to admit the brawler does looks kinda fun. Lastly, Pac-Man! Heavily expected by pretty much everybody, but exactly a popular request, but he actually has a interesting moveset, and a lot personality! Overall actually, he team have done a great job with movesets, every new character looks fun to play as and I will definitely give everybody a shot (OK, maybe not the Mii's).
Roll on October!

* 17/7/14 - Time to tip the scales (or in this case, make the picture a tad bigger)! Yeah, the recent character reveals were pretty hype, but also meant that the icons were too big for my original document, commence expansion! Beyond pleased with Robin, he was my outside choice, still can't believe he's actually made it in!

* 30/8/14 - Oh hey there, feels like forever since I touched this, but it's only infact been a month. Meta Knight and Shulk join the roster! (Yes I know about the leak but there's no renders to include yet )

* 11/10/14 - First update since release, been waiting for Sakurai to release the unlockables' renders... and now we've finally got a few! It's weird to think that this will be over in a couple of weeks...

* 22/11/14 - Time for the final update..... till DLC rolls round... so not quite so final! Wowzer though, I've been coming back to this thing for months now, crazy to think about how much has changed in relation to Smash and my life looking at this now its sorta complete. Most of my wants made it in (Robin, Palutena and Bowser Jr in case you were wondering), and most of my mains returned (RIP Wolf though).
Anyway guys, thanks for sticking with this for 11 months, it's certainly not then end, but it appears it will be for a few months. So see ya in Spring 2015, with the arrival of MEWTWO!

But I want to play as Random!

I'm actually starting to wonder what will the final selection screen layout look like. The demo seems to suggest that characters are actually going to be displayed horizontally like Melee this time. And how is this even going to work with 4:3 screens?

Alright you got it nice. You should mess with more gradients to give it the smooth colors to blend in.

Thanks for the input and advice, it's much appreciated. I'm not entirely satisfied with the colours myself, so I'll give it all another tweak next time I feel like working on it.

When it comes to Smash rosters, I don't think the 'Random' icon is as necessary a requirement as some people think.
The first 2 games got by fine without a random icon.
