    7 months ago I rated the Super Smash Bros Melee roster. This time I will only focus on the newcomers since it would drag on if I added the past characters again.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Latest?cb=20130907215302

    Special moves

    Neutral: Blaster 
    Side: Wolf Flash
    Up: Fire Wolf
    Down: Reflector

    By the time Wolf got unlocked I was pretty much done playing Brawl. Even though his specials where like Fox and Falco his Smash attacks where quite different and movement is taken from other fighters. If he returns to Smash 4 as DLC I hope at least one of his special moves are changed so that he stands out more.

    Wolf is a pretty boring character, mostly a clone of Fox and Falco. I mean I like him as a character in Star Fox, but in Smash he was pretty pointless, and I'm glad they removed him in Smash 4.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers 249px-Sonic_SSBB



    Special Moves
    Neutral: Homing Attack
    Side: Spin Dash
    Up: Spring Jump
    Down Spin Charge:

    Sonic had pretty bad KO power in Brawl and all his attacks feel the same for the most part. He was also a character I could never control right.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Pikmin

    Special Moves

    Standard: Pikmin Pluck
    Side: Pikmin Throw
    Up: Pikmin Chain
    Down: Pikmin Order

    I enjoyed the Pikmin series quite a bit. I could never play as Pikmin & Olimar the right way though since you always have to time the Pikmin just right.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Diddy_Kong_SSBB

    Special moves

    Neutral: Peanut Popgun
    Side: Monkey Flip
    Up: Rocketbarrel Boost
    Down: Banana Peel

    Even though Diddy is one of the best characters in Smash I could never use him right. His special moves also take a bit of skill to use.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Wario

    Special moves

    Neutral: Chomp
    Side: Wario Bike
    Up: Corkscrew
    Down: Wario Waft

    Even though Wario is based on his wacky WarioWare character I think it's for the best. His moves are some of the most unique in Brawl and if he was based more on Wario Land I feel like he would be at least a semi clone of Mario. I could never use most of his special moves outside of Wario Bike and Corkscrew though so he gets the number 11 spot.

    Not a huge fan of any of the characters posted so far really. :p Although I do use Olimar occasionally in Smash 4, and he's certainly a more interesting character with the Pikmin.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers 250px-Lucario_SSBB
    Special moves

    Neutral: Aura Sphere
    Side: Force Palm
    Up: Extreme Speed
    Down: Double Team 

    I enjoyed the ability Lucario brought to Smash Bros. He's the only character that gets stronger the more he gets damaged and it was nice to see Pokemon get a character from the 4th Gen. I could never use Lucario that while in Brawl though since his aura was week and his moves did not hit that hard.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Toonlink

    Special Moves
    Neutral: Hero's Bow
    Side: Boomerang
    Up: Spin Attack
    Down: Bomb

    All though Toon Link is a semi clone he is less of a clone then Young Link. Toon's attacks don't do as much as regular Link and he's faster then him. I still like using the regular Link at the end of the day though.

    Time for double updates since I have not updated in a few days.

    #8

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers 250px-R.O.B._SSBB

    Special Moves

    Neutral: Robo Beam
    Side: Arm Rotor
    Up: Robo Burner
    Down: Gyro

    R.O.B. is a character a never used much in Brawl even though he can be deadly if used right. I 
    enjoyed him more for his role in Subspace really.

    #7

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers 255px-Lucas_SSBB

    Special moves 

    Neutral: PK Freeze
    Side: PK Fire
    UP: PK Thunder
    Down: PK Magnet 

    Even though Lucas is a Ness clone in some ways he stands out in his own way. His Smash attacks are quite fun to use and he just feels more fun than Ness in Brawl at least.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Snake

    Special Moves

    Neutral: Hand Grenade
    Side: Remote Missile
    Up: Cypher
    Down: Grenade Launcher

    Even though I never though Snake fit in that while. His moveset was pretty fun to use and he was one of the very few fun Brawl newcomers to use for matches. I'm fine with him being a one time character though.

    #5

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Pit_SSBB

    Special Moves

    Neutral: Palutena's Arrow 
    Side: Angel Wing
    Up: Wings of Icarus
    Down: Mirror Shield

    I'm not sure how I feel about Pit in Brawl. On one hand his voice clips are pretty bad and his moveset could be better. On the the other hand they based him off of an old school game and he played a pretty big role in Subspace.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Latest?cb=20150902192046
    Special Moves

    Neutral: Mach Tornado
    Side: Drill Rush
    Up: Shuttle Loop
    Down: Dimensional Cape

    I never did get why people thought Meta Knight was so broken back in Brawl. I just used him since he was fun to use and he was way more enjoyable then King Dedede.

      My rankings #6 Super Smash Bros newcomers Pokemon_trainer

    You know Pokemon Trainer was a good idea on paper that just never worked out. It just sucks how the Pokemon run out of energy fast. I did enjoy using Squirtle and Charizard quite a bit though.

    Love Pit and Meta Knight! They're some of my favorite character additions, not only because I love them as characters in their respective games, but they both have (oddly similar) cool movesets that are fun to pull off and are powerful.

    I'm not entirely sure why Meta Knight is considered broken in Brawl but I think it has to do with his recovery, it seems a little ridiculous that he could go under stages with ease and recover from many situations off stage. Most things about him are good but I think he lacks some KO power, I haven't played Brawl in about a year so that's just from memory. I never followed competitive Brawl either but I do know many considered him broken. He feels significantly weaker in Smash 4 but I enjoy using him in that game.

    Good list so far. My favorite Brawl newcomers were Toon Link, Wolf, R.O.B, and Meta Knight.
