If we are allowing assist trophies to be promoted to fighters I think E.M.M.I, paper mario or bomberman would be great choices but if you want an original idea raven beak, oatchi and cuphead
- E.M.M.I or raven beak
An Extraplanetary Multiform Mobile Identifier, or E.M.M.I., is a very powerful Galactic Federation operative research robot. A group of them serves as the secondary antagonists of Metroid Dread. The E.M.M.I. were created from the strongest materials in the universe for research applications...

metroid.fandom.com
These two would be great metroid reps to have bcs out of the four metroid reps we have samus, samus, evil samus and ridley
Out of the two raven beak would be cooler but I do think E.M.M.I is more popular in terms of casual players bcs of all the trailers that featured them
- paper mario

Now yes we do have mario and doc in the game but paper mario is a whole different character compared to normal mario in terms of moveset potential
First of all the most iconic weapon from him
THE HAMMER -
Would be used for his foward tilt, up air, back air, down tilt, down smash, up smash and nair
THE PARTNERS -
He could use a variety of different party members for his specials
- Down b
Admiral Bobbery is a character from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and one of Mario's partners in the game. Bobbery first appears when Mario goes to find him to be Flavio's navigator so Mario could go to Keelhaul Key and get the fifth Crystal Star. Bobbery refuses, but it is revealed by...

papermario.fandom.com
admiral bobbery or bombette depending on what era you want to represent would be placed down after pressing down b and would either explode normally after a specific amount of time or would explode after hitting the opponent
- Side b
Kooper is Mario's second party member in Paper Mario. He is an adventure-loving (and seemingly young) Koopa who dreams of becoming an archaeologist like his childhood hero Kolorado throughout the course of Paper Mario. He is the exact opposite of his successor, Koops, personality-wise. But in...
papermario.fandom.com
Mario would kick kooper launching him fowards the direction that mario chooses
Kooper would come back to mario if he hits someone but if he doesn't hit someone he would come back after his animation is finished
- up b
Parakarry is a cyan Paratroopa Partner in the first Paper Mario. He is a citizen of the Mushroom Kingdom and works at the Post Office in Toad Town along with the Postmaster, delivering letters to recipients all over the world. He is known for being a clumsy, slow postman who frequently loses his...
papermario.fandom.com
Paper mario could use parakarry to fly towards the stage similar to olimars up b but without the pikmin gimmick
But he could also use 1,000 fold arms as an up b that would kind of function like joker (without arsene) or minmin
The 1,000 Fold Arms is a special ability Paper Mario can perform throughout Paper Mario: The Origami King. This ability allows Paper Mario to grow extended, 3D origami arms, which help solve puzzles throughout the overworks and aid in battle. This ability can only be activated when Mario is...

- Side smash
Vivian is the youngest sibling of the three Shadow Sirens and formerly one of the major antagonists in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Unlike her sisters, Vivian is kind, compassionate, and gentle in her interactions with other people. Vivian and her sisters seem to have been somehow...
papermario.fandom.com
Paper mario would summon vivian and make her do the attack shade fist that she can do in game
- jab
Bow is the leader of the Boos of Boo's Mansion in Paper Mario and is aided by her butler, Bootler. She is very strong-headed and a bit snooty due to her princess-like status in life but is also kind-hearted in wanting to aid Mario so he can save Princess Peach and the world's wishes. However...
papermario.fandom.com
Bow would do the attack fan smack that turns into a rapid jab (fan smack is an ability she can do in combat just like vivians attack)
- down air
Mini-Yoshi (a.k.a. Yoshi & Yoshi Kid) is a character in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is a spunky Baby Yoshi who is found outside the Glitz Pit. As a newly-hatched Yoshi, players can name him whatever they will. He is the fourth Party Member to join Mario in Paper Mario: The...
papermario.fandom.com
Yoshi kid would do a ground pound that functions like steves anvil but mario can't stay on top of him while he's going down
TAUNTS
- side taunt
Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.
youtu.be
Mario would do a shorter version of this dance but if you want to include the whole dance then you can make it cancellable after doing it
- down taunt
Paper mario would do his famous winning animation of him wagging his finger at the camera
- up taunt
Paper mario would give a high-five to his bro paper luigi
GIMMICK
Paint is a key item and concept used within Paper Mario: Color Splash. The game's theme widely surrounds the use of paint, its main use being to give life to blank characters, and as well as repaint dried up white spots using Mario's hammer (Repainting all white spots is required for 100%...
papermario.fandom.com
After hitting the opponent a specific amount of times marios hammer moves would get powered up by paint but paint will be a limited resource so make sure to use it effectively
- Bomberman
For other uses, see White Bomberman (disambiguation) and Bomberman (disambiguation). Bomberman, sometimes referred to as White Bomberman, is the main protagonist of the Bomberman series. He is the primary representative of the Bomberman people, who became the dominant inhabitants of Planet...
bomberman.fandom.com
Bomberman is a very highly requested character from the brawl days to the dlc pass 2 days of ultimate so just kind of feels right to include him in this roster of highly requested superstars of smash speculation
He also has massive custom potential
- oatchi
"This young, loyal Rescue Pup is one of an elite breed of space dogs that's long served the Shepherd family. This is his first mission." — Oatchi's ID badge The Oatchi is a space dog introduced in Pikmin 4. The dog is owned by Captain Erma Shepherd and is found by the player when they first land...
pikmin.fandom.com
The Moss is a character and enemy introduced in Pikmin 4. She is a space dog who Olimar met before the events of the game, in Blossoming Arcadia. Olimar allegedly saved her from starvation, as he fed her a bone when they first met. After meeting, they quickly bonded together and proved helpful...
pikmin.fandom.com
Pikmin 4 is the most sucesseful game in the pikmin franchise to date plus in the actual game oatchi has massive moveset potential just from the fact that he can upgrade his existing abilities
Nintendo "the main developers of the game" would also financially gain from since it's promoting pikmin 4
Moss would be a really cool costume kind of like alph
More pikmin content in smash
(Im going insane over pikmin 4)
- cuphead
For the game, see Cuphead (video game) and Cuphead (disambiguation). For the animated character, see Cuphead (character)/TCS. "C'mon, Mug! We have to find the Elder Kettle! He'll know what to do!" —Cuphead to Mugman, Introduction Cuphead is the titular protagonist of the video game of the same...

cuphead.fandom.com
Cuphead is one of the few specific mii costumes that got a song to go along with it so that defenitly shows that nintendo is on good terms with studio MDHR
Cuphead interms of gameplay would have a very interesting gimmick to him
The gimmick is that he can choose his shots and power-ups before the match starts just like in his game
Weapons have a regular fire and an EX attack, which can be used in exchange for one card from the super meter. Almost all the weapons mentioned here have different names on the Debug Mode. Peashooter = Peashot Spread = Spreadshot Chaser = Homing Roundabout = Boomerang Lobber = Bouncer Twist-Up =...
cuphead.fandom.com
But not only that he would also be able to choose his charms
Charms are items that can be bought from Porkrind's Emporium and equipped. They change elements of gameplay that usually help you in various ways. There are also some Unused Charms, such as The Turret.
cuphead.fandom.com
He would also be the first
character to have a straight up dash as an ability
Jumping and/or Dashing is a skill that's part of the player(s)' moveset. If the player(s) press the A button (or whatever button they have assigned), they'll make a jump, and if they then press the Y button(same) while in midair, they'll make a small dash that can help them reach platforms that...
cuphead.fandom.com
Parrying a projectile would only work on smaller ones (for example megamans lemons) so that you can't just parry a samus charge shot but those parrys could be used to charge up cards that be used as EX versions of the normal shots (go down on the wiki page to see the EX versions of the shots)
Weapons have a regular fire and an EX attack, which can be used in exchange for one card from the super meter. Almost all the weapons mentioned here have different names on the Debug Mode. Peashooter = Peashot Spread = Spreadshot Chaser = Homing Roundabout = Boomerang Lobber = Bouncer Twist-Up =...
cuphead.fandom.com
But they could also be used to use a super art (but only at five cards) that you can also choose from the character select screen like most things from his moveset (the invincibility one would obviously be nerfed to maybe 2/3 seconds)
Super Arts are extremely powerful attacks unlocked one by one upon rescuing the Legendary Chalice from each Mausoleum. They can only be activated once the player has filled their super meter with 5 cards through parrying objects or damaging enemies. There are only three, and only two of them are...
cuphead.fandom.com
Mugman and ms. chalice also would be very cool customes for cuphead
Im really tired I might have forgotten some things but hope you enjoyed my ideas!
