Well that's it.

To start things off, No character on here is bias, I avoided doing that.

Also notice the 4 empty slots. I'm not a master predicter, i'm just posting what I think and why.

Another notice is that for every character that was one of the top 5 on the Poll is colored red

Characters:

Geno:
First on the list is my personal favorite...Geno. I think he'll be in because he was one of the top 5 on the poll, an origional character, and somewhat retro. Which all of these reasons are reason enough for him to be included.

Mallow:
I'm a tad iffy on this one, but if im not mistaken he is Geno's buddy and something about him screams that him and Geno go in together. Like they complete each other.

Krystal:
Krystal was also one of the top five. She has been in all of the Starfox games ever since her debut in Starfox: Adventure, She is also Fox's wife, which is somewhat irrelevant, but that's just another thing. She is almost a shoe-in.

Jigglypuff:
Well, this one is obvious...Jiggs has been there since Smashes existance and shouldn't get the axe. Plain and simple.

Ness:
Ness's inclusion is almost as solid as Jiggs. At least for me. Speculation says that Lucas is replacing Ness just as he was planned to since day 1. But In my opinion. It's just Sakurai mindgaming us.

Luigi:
Again, another given. Luigi has an 100% chance of being in. I mean he's the reason it was called Super Smash Brothers.

Captain Falcon:
And the final Smash64 Unlockable. and yet again. A given. Expect Captain Falcon and his knee of doom to make an epic, fast-paced return.

Mewtwo:
Mewtwo returning is pretty solid. He's origional and he was in melee.

Falco:
Falco is Foxes opposite in some ways and most anybody can tell you that Falco is second only to Fox on the StarFox team. My prediction is that he'll be nerfed. But wont get the boot.

Ganondorf:
Ganondorf is Link's version of bowser...The main villian in almost every LoZ game, plus he is from Melee. Sorry not much really disproving him.

Cel-Shaded Link(Wind-Waker Link):
He would be an excellent replacement of Young Link beings that Young link was a clone and doesnt have any solid differences from Link himself. But Wind Waker is almost a different series, and different in many key ways. WW Link also stands out very well and would be a perfect LoZ rep.

King Dedede:
Dedede is so solid that its not even funny. He is one of Sakurai's creations. and Sakurai isn't being so modest this time around. Not to mention that Good Ol' Triple-De was NUMBER 1 on the poll. He's a shoe-in in my eyes.

Captain Olimar:
Our little Pip-squeak should get a spot, he's super-origional. And I can see him and his Pik-minions being in the game. No real evidence on C-O though. So nobody's positive.

Lucario:
Most people say that Lucario is about the most popular pokemon lately aside from one's already included like Pikachu. The haters love to say that he's not, and say that Munchlax is. But Munchlax is an AT and well, also some stubby...lazy...'eat everything you see'-type Pokemon. Lucario actually has limbs...

Wolf:
Wolf is Fox's rival, and a villian. Which Brawl needs more of. Aside from that Wolfie-boy scored pretty high on the poll if im not mistaken. No more reasons really.

Sukapon:
Things just got weirder. Sukapon doesn't mean much to me but Joy Mecha Fight was Nintendo's first fighter. Sukapon deffinately deserves Brawl's "WTF" spot in the roster

Animal-Crossing(AC) Human:
I don't want him much either. But all this AC support is a bit far to end there. the AC human or the 'Villager' would be very origional at best. But not really a serious character.

Mr. Game and Watch(G&W):
He was Melee's "WTF" character and deserves to return. He was the main-ish character of the first video game ever. And his inclusion was supposedly an honor to his recently(when melee released) deceased creator. G&W should make a return by the side of many characters from melee.

I'm not sure about geno-mallow (mallow is one of my favourite characters but... no, he doesn't fit).

ok with the rest

well, i think thats its pretty good except mallows pretty biased. i really doubt he stands a small chance, seeing as he's third party. geno + mallow = no sonic. also, no ridley? G@W? and why have 2 links when you could have another FE character or classic charcter, or K.Rool or Wolf?
if you want, check the link in my sig to see my personal opinions.

Wolf is up there. K. Rool doesn't deserve a spot, and neither does Ridley. And G&W was a hiccup. I'll add him soon. The same time I update Meta's picture.

Britain, glaring at you **** yanks.
Lack of Ridley makes it scream ' Fail'

C'mon, 1 metroid rep?


Tell me why Ridley doesn't deserve to be there. You have 4 empty slots, I honestly cant see why you haven't put him in, even if you dont like him.

Right behind you with a knife.
He technically seperated ZSS out of there for some reason, so it looks like two.

And he'd be as akward as Charizard who is already in, so that's not really much of a argument. Plus his importance is much larger than just MP3.

Not bad - theres a few I'd rather not see or would rather see someone else in place of, such as Midna or Vaati being instead of Young Link, but those are usually realistic choices in spite of my personal preference - but I think you're almost surely off on a few.

Mallow I don't think we'll see at all - Geno is iffy enough with Square-Enix owning him, its pretty far out there to think we'd get both. I also think you're wrong about Ness - the two attacks we've seen of Lucas' look identical to two of his (his neutral and forward aerial attacks), which tells me either Lucas is a clone or hes taken Ness' spot, and of those two I both would prefer and suspect the latter. I think either Wolf or Falco will have to come off that list too - no way Star Fox rates 4 characters without a much bigger roster.

That'd leave 8 slots open, which I'd fill as so:

Marth (Almost surely returning, since he has every reason to do so and none to leave.)
Game & Watch (Already semi-confirmed with the icon pattern.)
Animal Crossing Character (Much as I dislike it, unique icon = character - holds true for every other franchise thus far.)
Another Fire Emblem character (Either Sigurd or Micaiah most likely.)
2-3 new franchises/retro characters (Isaac of Golden Sun, Takamoru, Balloon Fighter, Andy of Advance Wars, etc)
1-2 more 3rd-parties (Sonic most likely, someone along the lines of Mega Man or Bomber Man for the other)

Edit: Oh yes, having ZSS in her own slot is misleading, since shes a transformation. Ought to have that spot open, probably for Ridley or some other Metroid character.

Edit 2:

You're mistaken - he got only one mention on that.

Why do you have ZSS as a separate character? Just replace her with Ridley.

Because. It's a fighting game...Not a "GIAGANTIC NINTENDO BOSSES ALL STAR FIGHT!"

If they shrinked down ridley he'd be too lanky and ackward. But I don't want to be a part of one of the most long discussions on a stupid idea.

Ridley is the only other good metroid rep though. and samus/zamus count as 1, and sakurai said he planned on giving metroid more representation. plus he said he wanted to increase the air game. (ridley flies!)

just giving unbiased reasoning, though i am completly biased towards metroid :p

You do have a valid point unlike most. but, There's still Dark Samus and some other Hunters.

while i do agree that dark samus is awesome, (and would be nothing like samus) and has a good potential moveset, ridley is a staple to the metroid franchise, appearing in all games but 2. as for the hunters, none stand out above the rest, so it would be biased to include one over another, plus they only appeared in 1 game each and all died, unlike ridley who mysteriously disappeared, again.

All of whom are minor compared to Ridley, who has been around as a major character of the series since the first Metroid game, while Dark Samus didn't debut until Metroid Prime 2 (and
perished in 3
), and the hunters were even more recent than that; not to mention all are much less popular than him.

Does the age of the character matter THAT much?
Not necessarily, but it does help establish their relative importance to the series, unless there are unusual circumstances surrounding the characters in question (there isn't in this case). Characters who have been around longer and are still appearing consistently are probably more important than ones who have been around for only one or two games and are already being killed off for good, no?

No more Fire Emblem characters? Is that some kind of joke? And no more third party characters?

What?

If you didn't want to discuss things like this with the people on these boards, why did you post this thread? Did you expect everyone to just nod and agree with you? Besides, with that particular reply, I was only answering a question you yourself posed, so your reaction seems quite irrational.
