I realize Bowser is the "main" villain of Nintendo, but he really doesn't make sense as an overall leader. He's too much of a dumb cartoon villain. Like, Sephiroth is NOT going to take orders from Bowser.Having the bad guys of first party and third-party franchises teaming up would be pretty fun to see.
This is what my version of a villain team would look like if I were to come up with my own story:
Leaders of the [insert evil army]
Generals (Working for the leaders)
- Bowser
- Ganondorf
- King K. Rool
- Kazuya
- Sephiroth
- Dedede (Betrays them and joins the heroes way later on)
- Ridley
- Bowser Jr.
- Wario
- Wolf
- Mewtwo (Maybe somehow brainwashed until returning back to normal joining good guys)
- Dark Samus (The villains would somehow create her using the blue stuff AKA Phazon
The way I see it, your villains more-or-less break down into 4 categories based on their motivations.
The Tyrants - Your villains motivated by a desired to dominate the world/universe. Your Ganondorfs, Mother Brains, Androsses, Dr. Wilys, Eggmans, etc. These are the ones that make the most sense as leaders, since they, ya know, actually want to be in charge.
The Greedy - Your villains that are motivated purely by their wants. Be it for money, or food, or what have you. Your K. Rools, Dededes, Warios, etc.
The Rivals - Your villains that are motivated by a desire to prove their strength/superiority to the hero. Your Dark Pits, Meta Knights, Basses, Shadows, Vergils, Majimas, etc.
The Omnicidal Maniacs - Your unstable villains that want to wipe out all life/destroy the world/erase existence/etc. Your Sephiroths, Giygases, Draculas, sometimes Mewtwos, etc.
Not if their Boss form is different than their Fighter form. Like Ganon for Ganondorf, or Safer Sephiroth for Sephiroth.I don't think making a playable fighter the final boss makes much sense or is particularly an exciting idea unless you're making them a super secret character or an alternative character like Giga Bowser. Like, I can play against Sephiroth or Ganondorf all the time, having them being the Big Bad Guy is just anticlimactic. Especially if you're also playing as them.
Villains we needMy idea of going with a Dissidia like story with two opposing armies of light and dark would definitely require a big focus on adding villains to try to get the ratio a bit closer than it is. I feel like Smash could use more villains anyway so I think this would give them a great reason to up their representation even more.

Eggplant Wizard [Kid Icarus]
Majima [Yakuza]
Abobo [Double Dragon]
Pyramid Head [Silent Hill]
I can't imagine making a 3rd party character the big bad. I'm going to have to go with Ganondorf. He's both iconic enough, but also threatening enough to fit the role.Who would you choose for Antagonist in the next Smash game's story mode, if you could pick only one, ie The True Villain.
He tries to consume Giygas...If Kirby were to be the final boss in the story mode of the next Super Smash Bros. game, it would be because he would be possessed by a dark force or an evil spirit and turn him into a monster or demon.
