-5) Sonic.
GENESIS DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T. So spitting at Nintendo back in their early days makes their blue rodent perfect for brawl, right?
Wrong.
1) King Dedede
Well, I know he'll be in, but he's still wanted thus he belongs on here.
2) Simon Belmont.
If I could only have one third party, it'd be him. He's like made out of pure awesome.
3) Ephraim
That'd be awesome. Globally recognized and a unique setup. Give him some punch 'n kick attacks for close ranged combat and Reginlief for mid range. Plus he could throw Javelins for a special attack. If not Ephraim, the female Mage Lord from Fire Emblem 10 or Lyn from 8.
4) Ridley
Metroid used to be one of my favourite franchises until it went Prime, so I have high respects for the classic Ridley.
5) Any Animal Crossing representitive. Most likely the player's villager, who I will refer to as Animal Crosser or Smasher. There is so much to draw the moveset from! Gender and clothing can change with colour/team choice.
