It's been a while, so I've wanted to get this announcement out of the way.
Yesterday, I had a meeting with the other members in my group (known as the Meme Machine Backroom on my Discord server). We discussed the characters we'll be cutting, as to be honest, I had way too many characters planned, and would never be able to complete them all in a realistic time manner, so I'll be going over which characters we've decided to cut and why.
Decidueye: We'd like to cut down on the amount of Pokemon we're working on. Also with Decidueye being a Gen 7 Pokemon, it would be out of place in Brawl, which only goes up to Gen 4.
Deoxys: Like Decidueye, I want to cut down on the amount of Pokemon we're working on. Mewtwo also takes the Legendary Psychic Pokemon role, giving Deoxys little reason to be made. On top of that, Brawl's limitations prevent me from implementing Deoxys the way I wanted to.
Eggman: This character was only in a conceptual phase, with the concept in question being criticized for not fitting in a Smash Bros. environment.
Galacta Knight: Kirby, Meta Knight, and King Dedede are all the Kirby series needs in regards to representation. Even then, my plans for Galacta Knight revolved around making him a Meta Knight semi-clone, which was unoriginal at best.
Mega Lucario: Mega Lucario was just going to be a Final Smash transformation for Lucario, but Lucario lacks the memory allocation to fit two of itself inside one character allocation.
Meowth: Smash Bros. never directly references the anime. The only recognizable Meowth is Team Rocket's Meowth, which would stick out like a sore thumb when it comes to the Pokemon cast. I also would want to pick a different Pokemon if I were to make another Kanto Pokemon.
Scizor: Pichu already exists as a Gen 2 rep. Even then, Scizor never had a plan to begin with, so we decided to cut it to reduce the Pokemon count.
Solo Charizard: The revamp to Solo Charizard was cut because nobody wants to put the time into overhauling a vBrawl character everyone is mostly content with.
Zoroark: Same reasoning as Decidueye, except replace Gen 7 with Gen 5.
Making such a massive amounts of cuts is always a hard choice, but it's not all doom and gloom, as in place of these cuts, I've picked up 3 new characters, one of which being Dark Samus (this was a project handed over to me to finish), with the other two being kept a secret.
Additionally, I'd like to announce my current project is Sceptile (another nail in Decidueye's coffin, due to both being Stage 3 Grass Type starters), but I cannot show anything yet, as Sceptile is not in a good enough state for previewing purposes. I'd also like to stress we need animators for current and future projects. If you're an animator and would like to help, please contact me with your most recent references of your work. It can be though either KC-MM, SmashBoards, Twitter (@KingJigglypuff), or Discord (KingJigglypuff#8570).
Thank you for understanding and I can hope to continue to produce quality Brawl modding content.
