If Smash only represented one series...

[pupNapoleon]

Kid Icarus is the only series that needs to be represented in Smash.

1. Dark Pit
2. Pit
3. Palutena
4. Viridi
5. Pandora
6. Thanatos
7. Medusa
8. Hades
9. Pyrrhon
10. Dyntos
11. Magnus
12. Phosphora (Or Eggplant Wizard)

Even in this, Dark Pit would not make the cut

I would choose Duck Hunt!

You don't like the King?

Seriously though I only like Tibarn, Naesala Mordecai and Skrimir. Still they deserve representation! Especially since they would be very unique fighters (compared to most of the cast)

Yeah, true enough. I had a hard enough time putting on most of the really plot-centric characters without throwing on too many of my favorites (namely, almost every starter mage). And I couldn't resist jabbing at Melee's clones with the King Marth and Sirius parts.

Fire emblem rosters without being constrained by time period.

12 character roster

Includes a main character from every game.

Spoiler

Kris can switch between male and female default, male is heavier but female deals more damager.
Marth is typical boring basic main character.
Robin uses sword and elemental tomes.
Ephraim and Eirika are an ICs esque duo.
Roy uses Sword of Seals, mixing sword and fire attacks.
Ike uses sword + axe, stance change style.
Celica uses sword for some attacks, black magic tomes for others.
Alm uses sword for some attacks, bow for others.
Sigurd fights mounted.
Leif fights mounted, using pretty much every type of weapon for various attacks.
Lyn uses sword and bow.
Micaiah uses light magic.

28 character roster

Don't know 4 or 5 well enough to include characters from them. Maybe Nanna and Julius or Julia, but I dunno. This roster includes every main character except Chrom, I believe.
