I've always wanted Toad to be playable, and he'd probably be a main. Unfortunately, I don't think he has much chance of getting in after seeing him used in Peach's move. If Toad fights Peach, and Peach uses Toad for defense...

I'm sure they would've used a similar, but different-looking move if Toad was playable. Like Toadsworth.
Hmm... maybe Sakurai is just trying to surprise us. Have the old Peach move put into a sorta beta version of Brawl so he could take the picture of it and put it on the Dojo, just to throw us off. It could happen. It
could...
And as to how it's hard for Toad to have a moveset, well, maybe he could have moves based on the Mario spin-offs he's involved in, like Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Strikers, ect. For example:
<Special Move: Toad Strike> Toad takes out a soccer ball from Mario Strikers and kicks it at high speeds. It bounces off enemies and obstacles until it bounces or rolls off the stage.
<Side Special Move: Toad Kart> Toad gets in his kart from Mario Kart and runs into people, like Wario's side special move except faster.
<Down Special Move: Toad Jackpot> Toad reaches down and throws various Mario Party-related items into the air in all directions: stars, dice, blocks, lots of coins, ect. The coins will force other players away from Toad, and the stars, dice, and blocks do some damage.
<Up Special Move: Toad Rescue> Lakitu flies down and catches Toad on a fishing pole, carrying him straight up a long way to make up for Toad's poor jumping. Lakitu can be taken down with the slighest touch.
But, I just think the chances of playing as Toad are very, very low... too bad! Toad is my most-wanted character... either him or Captain Olimar.
