Rules I follow for castlist:
1. Nintendo appearing cast only (nobody from PS/Xb only games).
1a. Character had to be IMPORTANT in the Nintendo console game (NO CLOUD).
2. Conservation of Cast - No Series already in Super Smash Bros comes to Brawl with less cast than Melee (Pokemon maintains at least 4 reps, Mario 5, StarFox 2, etc).
3. If if the cast of a series can reasonably be expanded, it will be (not counting WTF series, the Mario Spin-off cast, and Retro characters).
# in line. Character Name (Series Name -# of reps for that series thus far) (Sakurai Poll # or a "V" for Veteran)
Character spots 1-23 (0S Samus as a transform not withstanding) are taken up spaces. This list will list up to 50 characters... lower on the list, less likely to appear.
Non-counting listing: Shiek returning, but Shiek is a transform and doesn't count against the total.
Highly likely (24-30)
24. Luigi (Super Mario Brothers -4) (V)
25. Captain Falcon (F-Zero -1) (V)
26. Jigglypuff (Pokemon -3) (V)
27. Marth (Fire Emblem -2) (V)
28. Ridley (Metroid -2) (4)
29. Krystal (Starfox -2) (3)
30. Ganondorf (Legend of Zelda -3) (V)
This is the almost 100% confirmed the world will shake and furry animals will rain from the sky if they aren't in the game cast. There isn't much needed to be said about WHY any of these characters will make it into Brawl.
Not as Likely, but still pretty good standing (31-35)
31. Mr. Game and Watch (Game and Watch -1) (V)
32. Lucario (Pokemon -4) (-)
33. Ness (Mother -2) (V)
34. Cel-Shaded Link (Legend of Zelda -4) (3)
35. Geno (Super Mario Brothers -5) (4)
These characters have popularty or seniority in Smash, but the world will not end if they get replaced or don't make it. This doesn't mean they are unlikely at all, it just means that if they don't make it, nobody will storm the Nintendo buildings (except those nutcase Geno fans).
We've barely reached 40, I have a shot! (36-40)
36. Isaac (Golden Sun -1) (2)
37. Micaiah (Fire Emblem -3) (-)
38. Takamaru (Nazo no Murasamejou -1) (3)
39. Falco (Star Fox -3) (V)
40. King K. Rool (Donkey Kong Country -3) (2)
Now then... the cast list is getting a bit desperate now. However, these characters are not left fielders in any way... they just happen to be characters we could easily live without. (No longer applies but leaving it up here) I DO NOT WANT TO SEE ANY POSTS ABOUT HOW I DISGRACED GENO. He could of gone up one point on this list but quite frankly everyone on the list has more games to their name than he has (not counting Cameo appearances).
I have a Dream... where I Brawl (41-45)
41. Bowser Jr. (Super Mario Brothers -6) (-)
42. Mewtwo (Pokemon -5) (V)
43. Sheeda (Fire Emblem -4) (1)
44. Rock Man (Rock Man -1) (2)
45. Dark Samus (Metroid -3) (-)
This is all cast that, so long as Brawl has a REALLY LARGE CAST, have a chance. Or in the case of Rock Man, if they were just being really sneaky about hiding him. Barring Sukapon and Rock they are all additions to series that not everyone sees the need to add to.
Seriously reaching and wishful thinking (46-50)
46. Sukapon (Joy Mecha Fight -1) (2)
47. Vaati (Legend of Zelda -5) (1)
48. Demiru (Tomato Attack -1) (2)
49. Mia (Fire Emblem -5) (1)
50. Knuckles (Sonic the Hedgehog -2) (-)
These are the dregs, cool characters without a chance at all to get in. Be it due to 3rd partiness, or due to the series being overcrowded, or being unkown. For whatever reason I decided to make it a 50 person list. And by this point I'm allowed to dream of Roll fighting Peach while Knuckles fights Bowser.
This is how I feel the pieces will fall, if we have a 40+ cast, everyone has a shot. If the cast is some really low 30something number... tis a sad, sad day.
51. Roll (Rock Man -2) (-)
Edit history
Dark Samus added, Felix lost his spot.
Added the Sakurai poll numbers after the characters with ones.
Moved Mia up (someone asked for it), fixed the number on Bowser Jr (he's Mario's 6th rep).
Moved Takamaru to 36, everyone else moved up from this.
