I went to bump the original thread now that DLC beyond Mewtwo is for sure happening, but it was locked for being too old (I assume. Idk why else it'd be locked). Anyway, mods, feel free to delete the old thread or combine the two. Anyway...
I'd like to offer the idea of Zip as a playable character in Smash 4.
Zip is the main protagonist in Fling Smash. Fling Smash is a brand new Nintendo IP, released in 2011 and bundled with a remote plus. Fling Smash is essentially a block breaking game and a side scrolling platformer rolled into one. I see Zip playing in a very unique way, taking a que from the feel of his game: his arial combat would be, by far, his strong suit. I see him playing in the air as a very quick and light character, but with extremely strong and heavy feeling arial attacks reminiscent of the heavy feel of attacks performed by the likes of Ike and Ganondorf. When he is on the ground, I see him moving much slower and having attacks that are far less powerful than his arial moves. There is a lot of potential for a unique character and move set here. He even has a metal form in his game, so that could fit in seamlessly. Pip, the female character in the game and also a playable option could be an alternate costume in the game.
Here' s a gameplay/review video to give a better idea on the character.

Fling Smash is an overlooked game but a very good one. I'd love to see Sakurai and Namco take advantage of Zip to create an excellent character option.
