1. Lucas
My top choice, not only because I want to play as him, but I hope that his inclusion inspires Nintendo to release Mother 3 in the US.
2. Sonic
Obvious choice, I'm a Sonic fan that's been disappointed with many desicions regarding him over the last few years...
3. King Dedede
I'm a Kirby fan, Metaknight is a cool inclusion, but Dedede would give the franchise all the characters it needs. (Well, with the exception of Adelaine, but I'm being more realistic here)
4. Diddy Kong
He's here because he deserves it, I like him better than DK it and because
5. Dixie Kong
you can't have Dixie without Diddy. Favorite DK character right here folks, and if they put them together I'll scream so loud, I'll make the Panama Canal leak.
6. Lip
Japan only character that really deserves the spot, had an item in Melee, now it's time to see her in full form.
7. Demiru
His game looks very, very interesting, and I'll check it out. Besides, Parrothead can be very convincing...
8. Stafy
Very, very convincing. I'm gonna download these games and use my 3 semesters of Japanese (god knows that's not enough) to try and understand them. And hey, 4 Japan only characters in a cast of 36-40 is possible.
9. Lyndis
I really like her, what can I say. She's a unique swordswoman, very unique style and weapon.
10. Midna
She would've been higher a few months ago, but TP hype is over. She's still very cool, I'd rather have the real form, but the better known Imp one will be fine with me. As long as she's not riding Wolf-Link.
