Top 5 Want:
5. Mike Jones- The chances of Mike making it into a Smash Bros. game are depressingly low. Mike has a lot of moveset potential and I can see his yo-yo and whatever he has in Zoda's Revenge being interesting weapons. In addition, StarTropics has some really awesome music and environments and if Mike were included, there's a really good chance that we would see something from StarTropics end up in Smash. It's just a shame that no StarTropics game ever came out in Japan.
4. Takamaru- Another character from the NES era although he is much more likely than Mike will ever be. Truthfully, I'm not sure what Takamaru could bring to the table but I'm sure Sakurai and his team could figure something out. Nazo no Murasame Jo looks interesting and I would love to see as many retro characters as possible.
3. Kyle Hyde- I have no idea what his moveset could possibly be. Throw paperclips? Make children cry? Steal everything? I just want Kyle Hyde because Hotel Dusk and Last Window are two of my absolute favorite games and Kyle is possibly my favorite video game character. I'm sure he'd be an interesting character if he were added. Capcom did a good job with Wright in UMvC3 (sorta), I'm sure Sakurai could manage a moveset for Kyle.
2. Ridley- The only reason Ridley isn't #1 is because I've been burned before. I was so hyped for his inclusion in Brawl and then...nothing. I think Ridley's got immense potential as a playable character and Smash Bros just needs for villains and Metroid reps. Also, Ridley is a giant, purple space dragon. What isn't to like?
1. Isaac- Psynergy opens up so many doors for a moveset, it's insane that he isn't in already. Golden Sun has 3 games under its belt (and a 4th one eventually, maybe, hopefully) and I'd say it has earned a rep at this point. Isaac fits the bill incredibly well and is a natural fit for the series.
Bottom 5:
5. Adam Malkovich- All the objections, actually.
4. Krystal- I really don't think we need a 4th Star Fox rep and we especially don't need a gross blue fox. Maybe if she was from Dinosaur Planet like she was supposed to be, I'd be a bit more supportive but if there's any franchise that doesn't need more reps, it's Star Fox. On average, people only like one of the 5 Star Fox games.
3. Toad- I can't see Toad being interesting at all. At least Daisy or Waluigi could represent the various Mario sport titles; Toad can't represent anything noteworthy. Maybe Captain Toad will change my mind but we all know he won't be included in Smash 4 so that's a null point.
2. Sora- I can't believe people actually want Sora. Sora would be the least worthwhile 3rd party character they could add. I'd take the Black Mage or Erdrick over someone like Sora. They're actually somewhat iconic unlike Sora.
1. Bowser Jr- Ugh. Bowser Jr would be a terrible addition. I'm all for adding villains but Bowser Jr is just so dull and so lame that I can't possibly see him being any fun to use. The Magic Paintbrush would be the only interesting gimmick he could possibly have and I have my doubts he would even use that since Sunshine came out 12 years ago and we haven't seen it since.
