I would like changes to Toon Link, but I would rather his specials stay.

Changes to veterans. How about Ganondorf?
Hate to sound like a broken record, but....

Akumadorf.

Ganondorf's A moves are almost alright. Change his Smashes.

Forward Smash could be creating a sword out of dark energy and lunging forwards.

Down Smash could be forming an electrical ball near his chest while facing the screen and then ripping it apart while thrusting his palms out at the side.

Up Smash could be an uppercut with his purple Warlock punch. Allowed to charge twice the amount of time from a normal Smash.

B, Down B, and Up B should be changed.

B Deadman's Volley. Do not make it spammable. One on screen at a time. Approach option.

Up B Warlock Levitation: Floats around, a press of A will have him strike with his hand like his basic A jab. Press of B will cause him to shoot downwards and punch the ground.

Down B could be a variety of things. I kind of like the idea of him creating a dark vortex and sucking people in. If they are hit, an electrical attack sends them flying back and ends the move. Possibly could suck in projectiles.

Really? I still see plenty of requests for Isaac in SSB4. I, too, would be interested in that.
Isaac's support is still there and in pretty large numbers, but it's certainly declined since the pre-Brawl and post-Brawl days. I wouldn't call him an "elite" request nowadays., but he's a character whose popularity you do have to acknowledge.

If Dr. Mario was revamped just like the other clones in Brawl I would not consider him a waste at all. Especially with such an awesome Final Smash.

By the way, Hi guys, I've been gone since I started slaving away at Dark Souls.

Consequently, I now imagine if Ganondorf got a moveset change, it would be him with a huge sword attacking like the Balck Knights...

I really want that.

I do feel that Isaac, Saki, and Shulk are all in competition and only one of those will be picked.

Could just be the yellow hair?

Like I mentioned earlier, this is most obvious from the prospective of Japan.

I think that Doctor Mario would be a waste IF fully revamped. Having the old Tornado, forward Smash with visible defibrillators, and maybe one more changed move is enough of a change ala Toon Link. This way he does not take too much time.

Lip might be a better puzzle character or the Pushmo cat thing than Doctor Mario.

Of course, every puzzle character is better than Dr. Mario. Maybe half of his A moves could be unique and half semi-unique. Because Toon Link is more than Link with one changed special and one changed smash.

They are no more in competition with each other than with any other prospective newcomer, and that's all I have to say on that. If Rosalina can exists in the same game as a playable character with Peach, and Ike and Marth was able to coexist in Brawl regardless of them being blue-haired swordsmen, hair colour surely won't factor into Sakurai decision.

A: Saki is in no competition. He has basically 0 chance of appearing as his franchise and character serves no significance.
B: I don't think ANY of them will be picked.

Saki's running and shooting may overlap with Megaman who is much more well known universally.

Isaac has his elemental powers. Some suggested Isaac being a fantastic ground character and horrible in the air. Little Mac has filled this niche to the extreme, but Isaac still has some possibilities.

Shulk's long range may be reminiscent of Ike, but there are plenty of status mechanics in the game to allow Shulk to be unique.

I would agree with that. But I could see a revamped Roy happen before a revamped Dr. Mario.

I think the best puzzle character to represent Nintendo is Layton even though he is a third party:
He'd be interesting, no doubt. Though given how strict third parties are treated, I'm not sure how likely he'd be. I think Layton could fit in well enough though.

This may sound ridiculous, so bare with me, but does anybody here think that Sakurai will regard Reggie in some way? Maybe a trophy? A sticker? Heck, an Assist?

He could be the default Mii. If one is playable that is. But if I'm honest, I don't see any reason why it'd happen. And I'm sure Reggie wouldn't care much.

Not even gonna lie, I made up a Reggie assist trophy concept a LONG TIME AGO. He would come out on the screen, scream, "my body is ready," and slam on the ground around him. Any character in the vicinity of the slam woukd take serious damage. Again, this was before I started serious speculation, but just felt like sharing :p

I mean, not for nothing, they are aware of Reggie's popularity, although he really doesn't have a chance. Still, something to at least keep in mind. Btw, I found your channel saturn, I like your stuff! Of course, there are a few pieces I disagree with, but I like the content you put out! Always nice to see insight whether i'm an advocate for the topic, or against it. :)

Ganondorf:

Warlock Punch works like before, only this time you can press B early to release the charged energy as a magic projectile.

For Dark Dive, pressing B again at the apex of the jump will make Ganon twirl his cape, reflecting attacks.

-----
I think we should just give Ganondorf his sword. That way he would have a totally unique moveset.
