First off, James McCloud is a personal favorite character of mine. Don’t take any note to him, I just think it would be cool to have have in Brawl.
The “baby” versions of the Mario characters would’nt have a hard time making a move set to, considering there’s many games to choose from with them. Bowser Jr. can always have SOME of Bowser's moves, but he would need some SMS moves as well. Luigi will always be hidden.
Ness WILL be back, but he will be hella hard to unlock or will probably be un-lockable the same way he was in Smash 64.
Metaknight is too good of a character to be made a default IMO. He has to be hidden. Anyone who doubts Dedede being a character should have his gaming history checked. Dedede got the most votes on Sakurai’s poll outside of Sonic; he is a natural.
Marth headlines the Fire Emblem series and is more unique than Ike, but he will be nerfed like Fox was.
Falco can have a unique move set. You just have to get creative with him and how he is in all the Star Fox games.
Ridley at this point is anyone’s guess but he CAN be a character if the dev’s are creative enough (which I know they can be). Dark Samus is more popular with American audiences since that character was developed over here, and she can have her own move set as seen in the games.
King K. Rool is DK’s main antagonist. It’s only natural he would be in Brawl, either as a character or an NPC boss for the Subspace Emissary.
If Shiek is in, she will be hidden and she will not be Zelda’s Down-B. She is an OOT character and her clan of ninjas has been nearly forgotten by the time Twilight Princess is released.
I put an asterisk next to Falcon because I can’t see anyone out of F-Zero getting another Move-set as unique as Falcon’s.
Rockman gets an asterisk because of all the versions of him but its more or less classic Rockman from what the poll showed.
