I seem to have hit the limit of pictures you can have in one post, So I shall continiue my list here. A little time has passed, we've all grown older and wiser, And I think it's time to reveal some more characters who would be cool to be in Brawl, quite a few of which (Well, more like all of which)have no chance to be in, sadly.
This is a list of 3rd party selections that I would like to entitle:
WHAT? WHAT THE **** ARE YOU THINKING!?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Carmen Sandiego
-Carmen Sandiego is the villaness of the popular Edutainment video games bearing her name. She got her start in computer games, and eventually moved over to consoles (including the Gamecube). She also became a TV icon when a game show based on her games turned out to be a huge success, spawning several others, and a saturday morning cartoon. Carmen was a child prodigy, a veritable genius at Math, Geography, and nearly every other thing she set out to learn. When she grew up, she turned to a life of crime, using her genius to steal famous landmarks and treasures from around the world, and hiding them behind traps gaurded by her multitudes of henchmen. Her Nemeses are the fine agents of A.C.M.E, which the player is ostenibly a member of. Cannonically speaking, I don't know if she has ever actually been caught (sure, you can catch her in the games, but thats just a good ending. It seems more satisfying if she gets away after you win back the relic she stole.).
Symbol: Her Pimp hat
Status: Genius Megalomaniac; Strong Female
Would I bet money on her: No
Why?: Let me count the ways! 1. She's an emerican game character, 2. She's only really had one game on the Gamecube (a not very good one at that), 3. She's more famous for her TV shows.
Stage: One of the many lairs seen in her many games.
Dan Hibiki
-Dan Hibiki is a practitioner and founder of the "Saikyo" style of Martial Arts. This style, while stylish, is almost completely useless in a real battle. Despite this, Dan took his school around, teaching it through correspondence courses, and eventually taking on a student (and promptly losing her). His real mission in life is to take on Sagat, who killed his father. Eventually, Sagat and Dan fight, with Sagat letting Dan win just so he would get off of his back. Dan is a perrenial joke character belonging to Capcom, first appearing in the Street Fighter Alpha series, and then appearing in most, if not all of the games in the Capcom 'Vs.' series.
Symbol: Street Fighter Alpha symbol
Would I bet money on him?: No
Why?: See the "why" for Phoenix Wright.
Stage and/or BGM: Basically, the stage that would be considered "his" in Street Fighter.
Ace Harding
-Ace Harding is the hero of the NES text-and-graphical adventure, Deja Vu, by Kemco. His story involves him trying to earn back his lost memory, while fighting off the effects of a mysterious poison that is slowly killing him. In the end, he has to unravel a murder plot that he has been framed for. I don't really know how he would work, but he sure would give me a fanboy-gasm.
Symbol: A bullet? A gun?
Would I bet money on him?: No
Why?: Sakurai said No guns. Also, he's a character from a minor forgotten NES game, which started of on the Macintosh.
Stage and/or BGM: The city streets would be awesome! as would the *****in' soundtrack, played by an actual Jazz band.
Amaterasu
-ANOTHER Capcom character? What can I say? Capcom is one of the most consistently awesome companies you can name. Anyway, Amaterasu is the goddess of the sun, who has come to Earth in the form of Shiranui, a white wolf, and has brought with her the powers of the Celestial Brush in the game Okami. Her mission is to defeat the monster Orochi and restore peace to Nippon. Along the way, we find out that Orochi is not the only creature menacing Nippon, and eventually, with the help of the diminutive Issun, she must go up against the king of demons, Yami. This character would probably have the most potential of any character on this list, seeing that she fights using her celestial brush powers, plus three different weapons (Celestial Mirror, Jewels, and Sword) to draw from.
Symbol: A Rising Sun.
Bet money?: Nope
Why?: See Phoenix and Dan. Also, both she and Shiranui are characters from actual Japanese Mythology, as well as Issun, and basically everyone else in the game Okami. Oh, also, never been on a Nintendo Console. PS2 only. No chance. (but I would expect a Wii sequel, this game is just begging for it)
Stage/BGM: I think Shinshu field would make a good stage, through fighting in Yamato Ark would be neat as well.

Just a little extra conversation fodder. Have fun.
