Here is my take on what the Brawl roster should look like with my opinions.
Mario Series
Mario - confirmed
Peach - confirmed
Bowser- confirmed
Luigi - been in last two, can't see him getting cut
Geno - my personal most wanted character, he's got everything going for him (popularity, uniqueness, he has a moveset already, Sakurai is treating him as a first party character so you know he's gotta be pretty high up on Sakurai's list) the only thing will be the permission issue that I think will be easy enough to accomplish.
Bowser Jr. - He's popular, and he's starting to get in more and more games, plus with the addition of the FLUDD and Delfino Plaza, it makes his chances that much more because he was the main villain.
Zelda Series
Link - confirmed
Zelda - confirmed ( I think Sheik will be Zelda's down move again)
Ganondorf - he is Zelda's biggest probably most popular villain. He's been in Melee, and he got cloned, now he has the chance to be decloned and awesome.
Young Link - I think he needs a completely new moveset, likely one from either MM or WW. He may get cut, but I think they can recreate him so he comes back.
Vaati - another villain, he is pretty popular, and he has a lot of potential for a moveset. Zelda could use a couple more reps, and I think Vaati is a good choice since he's been in quite a few games and he will likely be in more to come.
Skull Kid - this was actually a last minute addition, I've had my roster for a while, but with the addition of Pokemon Trainer (who wasn't on my roster) it gave me an uneven number. I think Skull Kid would make a good addition because of popularity and he'd be different.
Pokemon Series
Pikachu - confirmed
Pokemon Trainer - confirmed ( I couldnt believe it but it made me really happy, even though it screwed up my roster prediction
)
Mewtwo - he was a unique character in Melee, he's likely Pokemons only real villain type, plus he has a lot of potential to become great. I can't see them cutting Mewtwo.
Jigglypuff - been in last 2, again I don't see them cutting her
Pichu - This is quite controversial, I think the second generation needs a rep, and I think Pichu is it, he needs to be recreated, but I think he'll be there.
Lucario - I think he deserves a spot because he is an actual fighter, Im not even familiar with the 4th generation but he definitely deserves a spot
Kirby Series
Kirby - confirmed
Metaknight - confirmed
King Dedede - one of the most popular characters, Kirbys villain, Sakurai loves him, if King Dedede is not in Brawl, then something is wrong, he should be in 10000 percent
Donkey Kong Series
DK - confirmed
Diddy - confirmed
King K. Rool - I believe that he will appear, with Diddy's early entrance into Brawl I think this increases the King's chances because Diddy will likely appear as a starter, therefore there is still a spot for a secret character. The DK series is a very popular series, and King K Rool is a big part of that
Star Fox Series
Fox - confirmed
Falco - he was my personal favourite from Melee, and I can't see him getting cut although a lot of people think he will. I believe he'll get decloned, and get a new look, but I think he'll still be one of the top characters in Brawl.
Krystal - the most popular female rep that is not in Brawl, extremely popular and she's a huge part of the new Star Fox series. She has her own unique moveset and I think that we'll be seeing her take part in the Brawl.
Wolf - Star Fox's villain, he's very popular and he could have his own moveset, people think he'll clone Fox, but Sakurai is very smart and he'll find a way to making him different. I think Star Fox deserves 4 reps, and Wolf I believe will take one of those spots.
Metroid Series
Samus - confirmed
Ridley - the only real character Metroid could add. EXTREMELY popular, he's very unique, plus he's a villain. With the addition of the gliding update, Ridley's chances has increased, if Ridley is not in Brawl then there will be tons of people crushed. He may be the number one shoe - in
Fire Emblem Series
Ike - confirmed
Marth - was in melee, he was the lord in 2 games as well as being the protaganist, I think he'll get two new moves as well as Roy ( unless Roy's cut ) but I can't see him getting cut either
Roy - I believe he'll be back. With Lyn not making it, it increased his chances. He's on the fence, but I think he'll fall into the Brawl side
Black Knight - he'd be very unique, he's a villain, he's popular, plus with Ike in, it makes his chances better.
Yoshi Series
Yoshi - confirmed
F-Zero Series
Captain Falcon - he will be confirmed. I have no doubt in my mind that he's in. I think he'll be the lone rep.
Earthbound Series
Ness - he will also be confirmed I know he will. I don't know why people say he should get cut. He's a true smashee. Plus I think he's going to be the lone rep like Captain Falcon
Warioware Series
Wario - confirmed
Retro Series
Ice Climbers - confirmed
Pit - confirmed
Mr G&W - one of the surprises in melee, I can't see him getting cut because he was so unique, plus Sakurai really likes him. Also on the icons on Smashbros.com there is missing number 13 and it is right between the Fire Emblem icon (12) and the Ice Climbers icon (14) Both new series' to Melee.
Little Mac - he's a fighter, he's retro, he's semi-popular, I think he deserves a spot. It would be unique to have a boxer in Brawl
Balloon Fighter - I think he'd be another unique one, I don't know much about him, but I know he's popular, and I know he was sloted to be in Melee, but got cut. I think it's time to revive the Balloon Fighter
Pikmin Series
Captain Olimar - at first I thought this idea was crazy. But then I read a thread about him and I thought that he'd be an excellent addition. He has a very popular series going, and I think that it'll get even more popular after Olimar is in Brawl.
Golden Sun Series
Issac - popular, the series is a lot of fun. I think the game boy part of Nintendo needs a rep. Issac would be a great addition
Custom Robo Series
Ray 01 - I don't know a lot about him. I do know that he's wanted, and he'd be very different from others.
Third Party Series
Snake - confirmed
Sonic - he's the only character I can see that would make someone buy this game. He should be in. Plus now with the Olympic game coming out, it increases his chances.
Megaman - another one that should be in no question, he's popular, he's got moves, and he's been in a lot of games.
Bomberman - He doesn't have as good of a chance as Sonic or Megaman, but he still has a chance, he could be a great addition.
thats my 50 man roster, feel free to give me opinions on it. 27 Starters and 23 secret. Comment, give me suggestions or your thoughts. Thanks
