Here. I might replace Diskun with Starfy. So beside that possible future change nothing different. I'm thinking about finding an artist to draw an icon of Diskun actually moving his limbs as to disprove the common belief that he's never been able to move. But, this is the best icon I have for now.
I like it! The only things I don't like are Diskun and the Miis. I still don't see what makes Diskun such a good choice (yes, I know what he represents), and I've always despised the idea of Miis with the very essence of my soul, especially the reveals of Wii Fit Trainer and Villager.

Also unsure about Pokemon having more representatives than Mario, but I understand why it's so.

I know Pac-Man deserves it history-wise, but as an appealing, fun, impressive, unique, and bad *** character.............................................................

And yes, I still think Diskun is cooler and can be made more unique.
I am going to be as brutally honest about this subject matter as I can.

I don't see anything distinctively special about Diskun, except for the fact he is the symbolically-important Famicon mascot (an integral system which can easily be represented by Takamaru if Sakurai wishes it) - otherwise, the character doesn't offer much in the way of anything enthralling.

I generally agree with a good, if not more-than-good, amount of your roster predicitions/preferences, as well as the fact that Pac-Man doesn't offer all that much in the way of interesting specialities, but your over-glorification of the Diskun character is almost reaching levels of BluePikmin11 and Dr. Kawashima.

We all know there's likely to be one character that 90% of us never saw coming. The list of likely and understandable newcomers is:

(Chrom, Ridley, Palutena, Toad, Paper Mario, King K. Rool, Dixie, Bowser Jr., Shulk, Isaac, Takamaru, Little Mac, Pacman, Mii, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few... plus the possible reintroduction of Mewtwo and Roy.)

Would you be excited for this one last character that you never expected? The G&W or ROB of this game? Who might it be even? (Don't give me your Starfys. Waluigis and Waddle Dees. I mean REALLY disputed or out of nowhere characters like Duck Hunt Dog, Lolo, Bubbles, Sukapon, etc. Someone you rarely ever consider.)

The one highly unexpected newcomer that would get me extremely hyped is Count Bleck.

I've never actually glorified Diskun as much as simply defend facts about him and educate people with little to no knowledge (that they'll accept at least) like Arckadenick. I've had an icon of him before, but I do that with new roster additions. If Diskun didn't have a move set based on Famicom games he wouldn't obviously be interesting. But, that's something that makes sense for him to have so there's your potential. That move set idea is much more interesting than the previous one of Pac-Man

And if we're comparing Diskun to Dr. Kawashima?

I could definitely get behind that. We'd have to have gotten Paper Mario first though. But nice out of the box thinking. I just can't tell you if that's even near the room where Sakurai keeps his boxes though.

I think Dillon would be unexpected for a vast amount of players.
I've never played his games, but I think I'd be really excited for his inclusion. He seems like he'd fit in well with the other characters. I just think he's in that bag of "yeah I can see that happening" characters, and not the "HOLY CRAP, I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!" bag of characters.

Yes he would be. Does this have anything to do with his chances? No.
Well then who's your out of the box, "you never saw coming" character that you think would catch everyone off guard but really fit in with the rest of the cast? Besides Diskun. (Though he meets this criteria well).

I don't know.....Sheriff......maybe Metal Mario. With all the crazy stuff Sakurai has done it wouldn't entirely surprise me.

Okay, now could you post that again with real words and better grammar?
Thou fair gentleman, currently I announce my propaganda, thy character Pac-man is under thou influence of mongrels claiming his fate is the most unparalleled and destiny will greet us with much gusto, but in reality it's all a thinly veiled ruse. Sir Pac-man isn't causing the malice, it's the contentiousness of thy citizens riots causing much chaos in an otherwise pristine democracy.

Wii Fit Trainer already had that effect on me. I think I am slightly immunized to other surprises.

I can get behind Sheriff. He's a character archetype we've really yet to see in Smash.

Well with her being a reveal character, she doesn't really count as that one last big surprise like G&W or ROB. She's more like the ZS Samus of this group. We didn't expect it, but it makes sense now. I still think there will be that one last surprise character on top of 7 or 8 more newcomers that we all can understand and most of us saw coming.

I'm not expressing an analytical comparison between the qualitative properties of Diskun and Dr. Kawashima, and how they correlate/constrast between each other in terms of their values. What I am expressing is a comparison between your ardent advocacy of an extremely-unlikely and debatable character in Diskun, and BluePikmin11's ardent advocacy of another extremely-unlikely and certainly-debatable character in Dr. Kawashima, and how yours levels of such reccomendation are approaching that of BluePikmin11's. Not in argumentation, because (unlike BluePikmin11) you can actually provide coherently logical persuasion for your character, but rather in advancement of an agenda.

I would much-more rather prefer Starfy or Sheriff as characters, as they are more deserving.

Sir Habanero Xenoblaze the Third, I do believe that your statement's grammar is of the utmost highest calibur. However I have some unfortunate news for you. It appears that your statement will never reach the level of enlightenment that your avatar was able to achieve.

Goomy for SSB4.

Discuss movesets, likelihood, and reaction.

Goomy is overrated.

How is Kawashima extremely-unlikely? Not questioning you or anything, just want you to repeat your points.

This is quite a tragic realization. Suddenly my whole demeanor is starting to plummet to a melancholy disposition.

Andross (with a body) would be a nice surprise. And if Wolf was kicked out for him... even more surprising.
