How Long Have I Been Asleep?
Overview
Slime has shown a penchant for using magic attacks such as Frizz (a basic fireball attack in the DQ series), Heal, stronger variations of Frizz, and a variation of battering body attacks. Slime also has a wide variety of familial variations that change their abilities. Slime also has shown the ability to morph its body due to its elasticity, allowing it to attack enemies in different ways: stretching itself to charge into enemies (Elasto Blast), flattening its body in the air to glide, whipping around parts of its body, inflating its body to bash opponents, using items from the Dragon Quest series, and summoning other Slimes to ambush opponents. There are a wealth of creative avenues that could provide Slime an extremely distinct and special moveset. Sakurai is just the kind of man to do it, too.
Lets dismiss one thing: Slime's lack of limbs do not prevent it from being able to pick up or hold things.
kind of just floats there on its head.

An oldie but a goodie...
[COLLAPSE=Slime Moveset]Slime:
Weight - 2
Size - 2
Speed - 6
Air Speed - 3
Fall Speed - 5
(Standard)
A - simple lunge forward.
AA - second lunge.
AAA - Rocket does a small flip delivering small knockback.
Running A - While running, begins to roll like a wheel into the opponent.
Up A - Jumps as if pointy part of slime is a weapon and pokes target.
Down A - Elongates his body and sweeps the ground with his body ala Mario Sports Mix. http://youtu.be/xGlE_-FiVdA?t=1m56s
Side A - Puffs up and lunges forward to bash the opponent.
(Smash)
Side A - Elasto Blast: stretches in the direction pointed, can be adjusted during the charge; once the button is let go, Slime shoots forward.
Up A - Slime Medley: Two slimes are summoned to help form a slime stack, all slimes do damage in stack. Piston like effect pushing upwards with great force.
Down A - Bubble: Becomes a puddle and sweeps the ground. Radial effect.
(Aerials)
Neutral - Body expands as he spins around in place in the air, has multi-hit properties.
Forward Air - Coils his body and flicks himself forward slightly.
Down Air - Turns metallic like a Metal Slime and suddenly drops down, he is able to move horizontally while dropping through the air.
Back Air - Whips his body around to smack the opponent.
Up Air - Causes an explosion above him using a Rockbomb Shard.
(Grabs)
Grab - Wraps himself around the enemy.
A - Constricts them.
Forward Throw - Unravels the character like a top, spinning them forward.
Down Throw - Throws the character into the ground and crushes him/her under his body.
Back Throw - Wraps around their waist and slings them behind into the air.
Up Throw - Gets under them and stretches his body similar to Elasto Blast, instead he slingshots them above.
(Specials)
Neutral B - Frizz: He'll start charging the attack sort of like Fox's Up B. During this phase you can then use the control stick to aim the attack, sending an explosive fireball attack in any direction. Unlike Zelda you cannot change direction while using the attack. Sets players on fire for a few seconds and can also set areas of the stage on fire for a few seconds, dealing damage to anyone who wanders into the flames.
UpB - Chimaera Wing: Based upon the famous item in the Dragon Quest series. Slime will teleport skyward in a streak of yellow light. Straight up vertically. He won't be able to move horizontally until after he appears again. The move is like Zelda's teleport except faster and Slime never disappears, just streaks up into the air. After the move he will be unable to attack. The offensive side of this special is anyone caught under the path of Slime will receive damage and knockback.
Side B - Slime Knight*: A knight doll appears on Slime's back and slashes like crazy, sort of like Metaknight. You can hold down B and he'll continue to slash but you can't move while he's slashing. It is a multi hitting attack, much like Metaknight again, and can cause a player some damage if not careful. Slime can also drop the kinght doll on the ground and on its own it will begin attacking while Slime is free to move. The catch is the doll will dissipate 4 seconds after being on its own.
DownB- Back Up!: Summons a random member of the Slime family (She-Slime, Heal Slime, Bubble Slime, King Slime, etc...) for different effects:
She Slime: Lunges itself at opponent, weak damage
Bubble Slime: Will run away on the battle field, in the process running under characters and causing them to trip.
Slime Knight: A Slime Knight will hop onto the stage and deliver one large slash in front of him, 7%
King Slime: He will puff up to a very large size and crush any character in his path, 10%
Slime Stack: Several slimes will appear and hop on top of one another and will fall forward attacking all within their line, 4% per slime.
Heal Slime: Rare, when one appears he will heal Slime about 10%.
(Final Smash)
Final Smash - Schleimann Tank: The camera will zoom to the left of the stage in the background. Suddenly the gigantic Schleimann Tank will roll onto the stage. Once it ceases moving other slimes will be calling for Slime. When a cannon will suddenly appear on stage, leading Slime to hop and dance around before jumping into the cannon. He will then be fired into the Schleimann Tank. Once inside the cannons will begin being loaded and they will fire projectiles onto the stage. Rocks, boxes, Rock Bombs, explosive eggs, and missles will be fired onto the stage at a time. Once the Final Smash is over the final cannon will be loaded with Slime and he will be fired at the stage, causing a large, final splat/impact. He will flatten onto the ground, but spring back up and continue from where he left off.

*A Slime Knight is basically a knight resting on top of the Slime. In the Dragon Quest Heroes games, any living creature could utilize a Slime Knight, and if put on a certain kind of item, it would act on its own against anyone. if put on a certain kind of item, it would act on its own against anyone.
I've also considered making his Up Special "Balloon" like how in Rocket Slime he balloons himself causing him to float. Also I might change the stage to "Astortia" since that is the latest Dragon Quest locale.[/COLLAPSE]

Why not another Square-Enix series?
Because it isn't about representation, it is about selecting characters we like and think would bring something special to the Super Smash Bros. series. Dragon Quest is still a huge deal in Japan, and even though it may not have the same impact in the West it still is above many other third party franchises. Additionally, Nintendo has had a very close relationship with Square-Enix regarding the Dragon Quest series. Dragon Quest's DS ports (DQ IV-VI, IX, Joker II) and Fortune Street were localized by Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime is known to be a big Dragon Quest fanboy, and almost every title outside of Dragon Quest VIII has appeared on a Nintendo console to date.
What can I do to help?
Start by going to the Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot and drop a request for our oozy pal.Beyond that, just help grow the community here on Smashboards. Try to get communities at other places like NeoGAF, Gamefaqs, IGN, Reddit, YouTube Kotaku, even 4chan to participate. This ballot is made for characters like Slime because without an active support body, it would be easy to gloss over our little pal. He fits the criteria of Sakurai's character selections and would be a great surprise.
If you think this OP needs any additions, feel free to let me know. I will work on it some more throughout the week and will also be working on some support avatars, sig add-ons, and any other media that would help get this community to be as successful as it can be. Already need to work on a sample moveset.
Let's make this comic a reality
Thank you all for your support!
