It's kind of startling how there's only one person who barely classifies as an old badass in Smash:

.
It's why I want Snake to come back as Old Snake, want James McCloud as a Fox alt with his own voice like say... Jim Walker, Fox's Assault and Brawl voice actor, Duster from Mother 3 - also doubles as a handicapped badass -, and other older folk. Mario, Luigi, Wario, Captain Falcon, and even Bowser and DK are probably at worst, 39-years old, Palutena, Rosalina, and the Pits are immortal, ROB's a robot, and pretty much everyone save Ganondorf, Olimar, and maybe King Dedede, Meta Knight, Pac-Man, and maybe Mr. Game & Watch, are in the their prime, youngin's with potential and limitless power, but it'd be nice to have older characters still showing they can kick *** and take names. It's also why I kind of want a Zelda game where you play as an old Link or perhaps start the first third of the game as an old, daddy Link before moving to play as his son or better yet, make an excuse and have a female Link or Zelda as Link's daughter in that game playable. Or a game where you play as Ganondorf from a young, aspiring idealist trying to better the Gerudo's lives to an old, cynical man corrupted by the Triforce of Power's power before moving to play as a Gerudo-raised Link as the new generation righting the wrongs of the old or something.
