Cautious Question: Smash 4 IN PM?

[StokeTheForge]

With the release of Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, many new characters were added to the Smash family. Notable additions include Shulk, Rosalina, the Villager, Little Mac, and Robin, all of which evolve the game with new movesets.
Project M has had one hell of a ride so far, but the question is asked now:
Does PM need to/Should PM add some characters from Smash 4 in order to continue to raise the bar?

What characters would you like to see in PM?
(THIS IS NOT AN "I want [INSERT NON-SMASH CHARACTER HERE] in Project M" THREAD)

"First and foremost as a game mod, we are still under certain legal obligations and restrictions. To stay in Nintendo's good graces and to avoid attracting Cease & Desist letters from 3rd party companies, we are limiting our choice of new characters to those that Nintendo has already licensed for inclusion in Brawl. In other words, that restricts us to characters that already appear in the game in some way, such as trophies, assists, or stickers. Additionally, to avoid appearing as competition to Smash U/3DS sales in Nintendo's eyes, we do not have any plans to try to "back port" any new Smash 4 characters to Project M."
