GENERAL INFORMATION

Fracas would be probably released 8 years after Brawl and be a 5 or 6-year project. The Brawl staff would return for Fracas and new staff would also be added. Brawl was roughly a 2-year project. Fracas would be the first Super Smash Bros. game to be presented in high definition. It would be a 1080p title and released for Nintendo Wii 2 and/or Wii 3. It would be the first Super Smash Bros. game to have unlockable female characters (including a third-party one), as well as playable female Fire Emblem characters. Fracas's graphics would be a big improvement over Brawl's graphics. There would be a two-part Adventure Mode, which are New Subspace Emissary Parts I and II. They would each have a Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu character to be unlocked after beating them 96 times. After each of these are unlocked, the plot would be altered to give Sigurd and Ayra a respective role in each.

The characters would be arranged by franchise, with the franchise symbols being displayed when played on an SDTV and having the player click on it to reveal the characters associated with the corresponding franchise. When played on an HDTV, the characters would be displayed from the getgo as in the previous Super Smash Bros. games.

For Fire Emblem representation, it will be mostly Lords in its lineup. Popular non-Lords would appear as downloadable characters. Exception is that Sothe would be a starter character, because he is a semi-Lord and is very important. Fire Emblem will sell well enough to get big representation. Ike's appearance in Brawl as a playable character and the controversy of Lyndis being an Assist Trophy sparked Fire Emblem sales. Fire Emblem: Shin Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Ken scored highly in Famitsu. The predictions at Smashboards.com in mid-2008 would come false.

Eight downloadable characters would be made available per year. Six downloadable stages would be made available per year.

The Wii 3 would be released in 2016, and Fracas would be released in Japan in January 2018. The downloadable characters run would go from 2018 to 2023.
