Well, I finally decided to return to this out of sheer boredom

I doubt anyone remembers me but whatever. Anyhow, it seems we're doing rosters, so I dug up my old one and made some slight adjustments. It's meant to be a blend of realism, although if I couldn't determine what character would realistically fill a slot I just picked a personal favorite. Enjoy!

Too many 1st Gen as is, and it doesn't help that you're bringing back a character who's exactly the same as earlier. We should have atleast two new Pokemon.]

*Paper Mario- I have a slight preference for him against Toad. I wouldn't mind Toad though as long as he has a good moveset.
*Ganondorf- Needs to have his moveset totally redone so he's actually a Zelda character rather than a ripoff of Captain Falcon.
*Toon Link- Needs a lot of de-cloning done, although he should still be a semi-clone of Link.
*Ghirahim- I used to be opposed to him, but Nintendo has done a much better job with him than with Zant so I could see the fabulous lord of evil in SSB4.
*Gen 5\6 Pokemon- There are so many potential Pokemon that could be in this slot and it's impossible to choose, especially since a new Pokemon game could come out between now and SSB4's release date, adding in many new reps.
*Non-Lord FE Rep- I don't know enough about FE to pick one in particular, although I know Micaiah and Caeda are top candidates. I'm just sick of seeing only Lords representing FE.
*Black Shadow- Inherits a slightly buffed version of Ganondorf's old moveset. If Ganondorf's moveset gets redone, there's going to be a Mewtwo-esque explosion of people complaining about the absence.
*Shulk- I don't know a whole lot about him but I know he's recently became fairly popular and his game has won awards.
*Slime- I prefer Black Mage but Slime seems a lot more popular.
*Dr. Mario and Young Link- can exist as alternate costumes for existing characters. No need to take up roster space with them.
*Roy- I really don't see the appeal for him and he was only put into Melee for promotional purposes. I don't see him returning.
*Mewtwo and Lucario- I like both of these characters but I don't see them being on-disc. However, I personally believe SSB4 will have DLC, so that's where I see these two coming in.
