It is time I entered the fray and add in some of my favourite choices for Smashers, I just hope I am not too late.
Step aside or run like hell, the world's most snobbish woman is cleaning her way into SSBB.
That's right, it is the star of Keeping Up Appearances...
HYACINTH BUCKET

Description: A middle aged homemaker living somewhere in the Midlands, England. Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced "Bouquet" as she claims) is probably the world's most snobbish person ever. Hyacinth desperately wishes to climb to ladder of aristocracy, and comes up with outrageous ways of doing so, but all attempts often end in failure. Hyacinth acts as she believes rich people and aristocracy people do, acting rather high and looking down on others who she sees lower on the social ladder. To fit her role as an "example" of social supremacy, she oftens dresses in posh hats and dresses, and the same runs with her house which is forever clean. Hyacinth lives with her retired husband Richard, who was previously an accountant before given early retirement - something of which he did not want. Richard, despite objecting to Hyacinth's crazy schemes, is very loyal and goes along with her plans. He unfortunately can never give an opinion because Hyacinth never listens to anyone. Family members, friends and neighbours ask why he still lives with her.
Hyacinth also has a son, Sheridan, who is away at university and is possibly a homosexual, but Hyacinth does not realise this. Sheridan often rings for money, which Richard always objects too. Neighbours, Elizabeth and her brother Emmett are often invited around for tea by Hyacinth, but Elizabeth gets so nervous around her house that she spills her coffee. Emmett deeply despises Hyacinth but is so terrified of her horrific singing that he has isolated himself in Elizabeth's house and only dares go outside when Hyacinth is not around. Hyacinth feels ashamed as her close family members live in squalor: Her sister Diasy, her husband of a bum Onslow, and also her other sister Rose, who has a number of gentlemen friends all at once. They often visit Hyacinth unexpectedly in their banged car, often asking Hyacinth to help them track down their rather hyperactive father, or "Daddy" as Hyacinth calls him. Daddy is a war veteran but now acts like a child and often flirts vigorously with women. Hyacinth also terrorises the local vicar, who he hides from whenever she visits. Hyacinth is not actually hated by everyone, as a man known as the Major constantly flirted with her.
Hyacinth enters the fray to teach the other characters what it means to be a member of aristocracy, and has wanted to fight alongside or against Princess Peach for the longest of times.
Alternate Costumes: Hyacinth's default costumes is her everyday blue dress. Her others are:
1. Hyacinth wears her blue dress again, but this time with a blue hat to match.
2. Hyacinth wears a pink and purple dress, with a domed hat with feathers in it.
3. Hyacinth wears a yellow dress with no hat.

Movement Speed: ** - Hyacinth is a rather slow character, but is faster than Ganondorf, Bowser and King Dedede.
Jump: *** - Hyacinth can jump quite briskfully, but since she has a social presentation to keep up, she doesn't show her full jumping potential.
Fall Speed: *** - Hyacinth falls slowly, mainly to show her grace when falling.

Up Smash: Mop Attack - Similar to her broom attack, Hyacinth strikes her foe with a mop and launches them into the air.
Down Smash: Water Spillage - Hyacinth spills a bucket of water over the ground, causing other characters to slip across the stage. This attack is best used on the edges of battlegrounds so a target can fly right off the stage.

Final Smash: Candelight Supper - Hyacinth invites characters to one of her infamous candlelight suppers, which never seem to go right. Characters on the same platform or level as Hyacinth are trapped at a dining table and must suffer Hyacinth's horrendous singing, eventually launched into the air and smashed off screen by Hyacinth's explosive final notes.
