Smash Cadet
I don't think a normal-sized humanoid character like Debbie would fit as Boss character, as none of the other revealed boss characters (Yellow Devil, The Dragon on the Find Mii Stage, Possibly Meta/Ridley and others still not revealed) share any of these traits. Either he is playable or he is not in this game at all (I don't think he would appear as an assist trophy)
Amongst possible LoZ newcomers Ghirahim is the one with the best chances:
- Demise - Despite Demise's huge impact on the LoZ historyline (turning the whole character development of Ganon into a "Hatred Incarnation", so original), his encounter with the player was short (and he is actually easier to beat than Ghira's final form, which generated some disappointment with our "Final Boss") and gives much less "Moveset Material" than the three encounters with the Tongue Demon Lord. Also, I don't think it would make sense to have both demise AND his reincarnated form Ganondorf in the game (does his soul occupy two bodies? that doesn't make a lot of sense, but smash is non canon so anything may happen). He could appear as an alternative skin for Ganondorf though.
- Impa - She doesn't have much of a fanbase so there are much less people screaming at Sakurai to include her in the game. The problem with the Sheikah companion of the crossdessing princess is that she doesn't have enough moves to make a character, it would be necessary to create a large ammount of original moves and there is also the risk of her becoming a Sheik clone.
- Skull Kid - Confirmed as an assist trophy
- Tingle - Moveset Problems, Big "Hatebase", Unfitting for the game, will cause raging reactions from people expecting Legend of Zelda newcomers. If Sakurai Adds him to Smash as a playable character, he better be prepared for the suicide bombers invading his house every now and then. Speaking seriously, our "Fairy Reincarnation" will probably be returning as an assist trophy again.
- Toon Zelda/Tetra/Toon Sheik - Member of the so famous "Forbidden Seven", the cartoonish face of our magic ninja pirate princess is even less likely to appear now that we no longer have mid-fight transformation, and there is NO WAY IN HELL Sakurai would add Toon Zelda AND Toon Sheik (that never existed in the first place); also, the less clones the better.
- Vaati - The young wizard of the portable Zelda games does have a lot of moveset possibilities with his many apparisons and different magic powers, but the fact that people are asking for him much less than in pre-Brawl days make his chances slim. Having a villain from a Toon-Link related game would also be cool, and he was badass in minish cap, but the fact that he doesn't even have A TROPHY OR A STICKER in Brawl (God, even the lamest 1 game characters appear as trophies or stickers, and our Goth Mage ****** gets absolutely no love) which pretty much means he is kind of forgotten by the development team.
- Wolf Link and Midna - Midna confirmed as an Assist Trophy. Deconfirmed is a word we CAN use. Wolf Link's best chance of having a Smash appearance was in Brawl, with all the support from the Twilight Princess, but now that he didn't make it at that time and that his trusty imp companion is an AT, Werelink won't show up this time.
- Yuga - I don't think "A Link Between Worlds"'s Baby Bowser Paint Brush user has any chances of appearing in Smash, if he makes it as a trophy, he should already be happy.
Seriously though, I still think Ghirahim has his fair chance to get in the smash. What would be his character reveal phrase? Ghirahim Fabios In? Ghirahim Licks In sounds WAY too wrong.
Oh, i can imagine him screaming "Behold! Such beauty! Such a pure form! Such an exquisite physique! Such stunning features! Yes, I've pretty much got it all." when performing his final smash, or one of his taunts. Sakurai PLEASE.
