Not necessarily do DLC or for a hypothetical Smash 5, but moreso in general who are your most wanted characters that aren't super popular with the community (this means characters besides K. Rool, Ridley, Dixie, Wonder Red, Isaac, Shantae, Paper Mario, Inklings, Wolf, Snake, IC, etc.)? I made the distinction because I know if I ask this question with it the above and others are likely to take up the majority of the answers without any real variety.
Mine are, in no particular order:
- Sami (Advance Wars) - I think Sami is a cool character who cooks provide something unique.
- Sukapon (Joy Mech Fight) - Back when the Smash Flash 2 expansion forums were still open, someone made a moveset for Sukapon all spirited out and I kinda just fell in love with the character and the concept.
- Toad (Mario series) - No, not Captain Toad. The Toad, the one we've all grown up with and has been a staple in the series and is probably the most recognizable Nintendo all-star among the general populace who hasn't been promoted to olayable character yet. My most wanted.
- Dillon (Dillon's Rolling Western) - I first learned of Dillon from the Haliburton leak at the beginning of SM4SH speculation after it has just been announced, and I love the aesthetic of the character and the concept for his possible unique abilities. I have him in my signature too haha.
- Savvy Stylist (Style Savvy/Girl's Mode) - This is a bit of an oddball choice, but the character support thread helped turn my perception into a positive one, and I think they could be a really cool WFT-like shock addition that makes sense since the series is crazy popular in Japan.
- Goku (Retro) - Not the overrated Dragon Ball Z anime Goku. I'm taking about the Classic Nintendo Retro character Goku who's a monkey and fights with a staff. I think he'd provide a lot of trollage potential haha, but I'm also a bit biased because Namco helped developed SM4SH and Goku has the potential to play like Kilik and/or Xiba from SoulCalibur (who was my favorite to play with in SC2), the latter of which is also inspired by story of Journey to the West.
That's just some of my most wanted, and I could go on (of the popular ones, I want to see K. Rool, Inklings and Wonder Red mainly).
