From Nintendo:
-Crystal (StarFox)
-New Fire Emblem character (possibly Ike/a female character)
-King Dedede (Kirby)
-Ridley (Metroid)
-Bowser Jr.
-Deoxys
-Ditto
-Diddy Kong
-Dry Bones
-King K.Rool
The ones that should be out:
-Pichu
-Roy
Characters that should have their moves redone:
-Dr. Mario
-Luigi (using the Poltergust or another new skill)
-Peach (Super Princess Peach moves)
-Ganondorf (using his sword)
-Falco
-Link could have his wolf transformation, but this isn't really needed
Edited for agreement. My reasoning:
Crystal, though I have no freaking clue who she is since I stopped caring about StarFox after StarFox 64, is a girl. That's a big reason to include her right there.
I don't know squat about Fire Emblem, but please replace Roy with anyone and they'll be good. Roy sucks so hard. If Roy stays, he had better be so awesome and not inferior to Marth in almost every way.
King DeDeDe would be a great fighter. But we did get MetaKnight... I'd still like to see 3D get some action.
I read that Bowser Jr. and Ridley were already confirmed by Sakurai, but I've seen no proof of that. I think it would be pretty interesting to play as Ridley.
I don't think Deoxys will be included, but by jingle, it'd be cool to see.
Ditto FTW
Donkey Kong needs at least one more representative. I could see Dixie being argued because she's a she, but Diddy is far more important. Him first.
Dry Bones is kind of a tossup. Most games that feature Dry Bones have him as some sort of grunt character. I think he'll be in Brawl somewhere, but not as a playable character. To his credit, he is playable in both Mario Party 7 and Mario Kart DS, and strangely enough, his special Orb in MP7 shared with Boo is one of, if not the, best, and his Dry Bomber MKDS car is among the best in the game.
King K. Rool is DK's villian. If Diddy doesn't get in, this guy would be my #2 pick.
I <3 the Ice Climbers, I really don't want to see them go. Pichu needs to go. He's in there for pure novelty. And Roy sucks hard. What a loser.
I'm going to rant a little here... I hate that people refer to two characters with similar-looking movesets as "clones." Clones are the same; SSBM "clones" are not the same at all. Someone that's mastered Dr. Mario can't just pick Mario on a whim and expect him to play the same. They aren't identical. Whoever suggested that Mario and Luigi are clones needs to actually play SSBM. I believe that the creators did differentiate pairs enough so that they have their own unique style of play. Anyway:
I agree that everyone's moveset needs to be revamped. Peach using SPP moves is ingenious (sp). Dashbrella would be the coolest thing ever.
