Dixie Kong or King K. Rool? I want both! No, actually I want a Dixie & Kiddy team and King K. Rool. That way we get all four playable Kongs from the SNES games and the main villain of the series in Smash. And we finally get a Kong team we were denied of in Brawl in Smash 4. I loved Rare's Donkey Kong Country games... I liked all three SNES games and the N64 one.
Sheik or Impa? Personally I'd rather have Impa. At least Impa is recurring since the NES games. I almost never transform into Sheik, I prefer playing as Zelda. So I'd like Zelda to get a new Down B move... and separate Sheik, dress her in Impa's clothes and RENAME her Impa. That way Sheik's moveset and playstyle live on through Impa.

I've always wanted to separate Zelda and Sheik even before Brawl was announced... and now we've found a suitable substitute for Sheik... it had nothing to do with Diddy Kong's Impa propaganda. I merely agree with Diddy Kong's sentiments but I'm not going to be upset if Sheik stays and Impa didn't get added... there are other characters I want more than Impa such as Meowth, Duck Hunt Dog, and Tingle. And Toon Sheik can stay out of Smash. I don't want the Light Arrow to be the new Landmaster.
Toad vs. Bowser Jr. vs. Paper Mario vs. Waluigi vs. Geno.
Toad, I choose you! He's one of the first Mario characters introduced since Super Mario Bros. He's appeared in almost all of the Mario games since then... and he's been playable in Super Mario Bros. 2 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii and even had his own game at one point, Wario's Woods. He's one of the two generic species (Yoshi is the other) to be playable in the Mario canon games. That makes Toad more important than Goomba, Koopa, Shy Guy, Boo, etc. He's been playable in most of the Mario spin-off games, more than Waluigi has. And for aesthetic reasons, he doesn't look anything like Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Bowser... which is what I like... visual variety, you know? That's one more reason why I'm not rooting for Bowser Jr., Paper Mario, nor Waluigi. Another reason why I'm picking Toad is that I think he would be pretty unique with superhuman strength, speed, kart driving, and picking vegetables (these are the traits Sakurai mentioned in Toad's Melee and Brawl trophies).
Bowser Jr. is a strong candidate but I think he is more likely going to end up a Bowser clone. Look at Toon Link. He had unique stuff in Wind Water, Four Swords, Minish Cap and he still ended up a clone of adult Link. Let's not forget how Sakurai described Dark Samus on her Brawl trophy, how she's exactly the same as Samus but the difference is the color. Now, I've never played Metroid Prime 2 or 3... and according to her pre-Brawl supporters, she had different powers. So my #1 reason for not supporting Bowser Jr. is because I want Toad more. My #2 reason for not supporting Bowser Jr. is because I think he is more likely going to be a Bowser clone, knowing Sakurai's track record.
Paper Mario... ugh... I don't want another Mario... one Mario is enough... if we get Paper Mario, people will start asking for Paper Luigi, Paper Peach, and Paper Bowser. No thanks! We also don't need a different Mario to rep each spin-off series. Dr. Mario for the Dr. Mario series. Paper Mario for the Paper Mario series. Striker Mario for the Mario Strikers series. Chef Mario for Yoshi's Cookie!
Waluigi... uhh.. he can stick with the Mario spin-off games and stay out of Smash. No Waluigi Time except whenever he appears as an Assist Trophy.
Geno, I am sorry but he is such a poor choice for a new Mario rep or a Square rep. Never saw what's so great about him and I've played and beaten Super Mario RPG dozens of times between 1996 to 2001... I was obsessed with the game back then. I've always preferred Mallow anyway but you don't see me spamming "Mallow for Smash!" To me, Geno is like the Impa of Brawl... in the same sense that someone on Nsider used to spam the boards with Geno support and writing tl;dr essays about why Geno is so deserving and how unique he would be... and eventually, people couldn't stop talking about Geno... like someone said about Diddy Kong's Impa propaganda.
Hell, we even got a Facebook page with over 1,000 supporters for the Duck Hunt Dog... I never imagined I'd see such a number of supporters since I started spamming Nsider with my Duck Hunt Dog propaganda 10 years ago. I remember being treated like the public enemy on Nsider. I got flamed... and everyone told me that the dog never fought before while they conveniently forgot that Captain Falcon and Sheik never fought before. They then came up with BS reasons why the dog can't be in Smash such as how the dog has no name or how the dog has no job. And the funny thing is, when R.O.B. was confirmed, there was a massive nerd rage over the poor NES peripheral. I remember reading posts on Smashboards about how they should have added the Duck Hunt Dog instead.
