Personally, I agree with Sonic that yes, Krystal does have priority over Wolf when it comes to character choice from the SF series. I think it's safe to say Fox and Falco will remain from SSBM, no? And I also think it's safe to say that Wolf and Krystal are the two SF characters with the largest chance to be in SSBB as playable characters, right? Perhaps Slippy too, just because he's...Slippy...but, anyways, Wolf and Krystal. Top two choices.
I think Krystal would have the highest chance to get in due to a few reasons. For one, she is, in fact, a she. There are only four females right now in SSBM (Jiggs, Samus, Zelda/Sheik, and Peach). That means there are 21 males. That's a pretty low ratio for women. Seeing Zero-Suit Samus in Brawl makes me suspect that they're going to reach out to get more female fighters, even in places where you'd least expect them (seriously, whoever thought Zero-Suit Samus would be in Brawl?). So, I think Krystal might be one of the first female characters they go to.
Secondly, I think she is naturally a bit more different from Fox and Falco than Wolf is. Wolf is about the same body frame as both Fox and Falco, has about the same level of training and experience, and just I'd assume he would have access to about the same equipment (blasters, jetpack, etc.). Krystal is of a lighter frame, has a staff (which right there would be a brand new addition to the SSB series...no other character has a staff, and I can't think of any Nintendo character that DOES have a staff that would have a chance to be in Brawl), and, as Sonic reminded me, she also has some degree of psychic potency. Thus, I would imagine that her moveset would be completely different from Fox or Falco's, and I think that the creators would prefer to have more unique characters than characters that closely resemble one another (as evidence of the "We're changing the clones' movesets" comment) from Sakurai).
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Wolf does not have a chance in Brawl, nor am I saying that I don't want to see him in Brawl. I would *love* to see Wolf be in Brawl; I think he's one of the cooler Star Fox characters, up there with Falco. Also, I am not saying that, if acquired in the game, he'd have the same moveset as Fox and Falco. The creators can be completely original with his moveset, making him an entirely different character from Fox and Falco. However, just based off of who he is and what he can do (in the canon series), he'd be a bit harder to come up with an original, believable moveset. Again, the fact that he's about the same body size of Fox and Falco makes me put him lower than Krystal; durability is another factor, just as moveset potentiality is, because how sturdy a character is another deciding factor (that's a good reason why I think Bowser Jr. would be in, to counter Bowser's heavy-weight appeal).
Anyways, I'd love to see both characters in Brawl. However, if I was forced to only choose one, I'd go with Krystal. Even though I absolutely *hated* Star Fox Adventures (must...kill....Tricky...), I find the character likable, unique, and kawaii
