Metroid: I really hope Ridley makes it in.
FE: we need Marth or Michiah or whatever her name is.

And a stage that doesn't involve lava!! So yes, Metroid. And sure, Zelda too.
And Sonic - though it's not first part, a couple ATs and a couple stages would be nice. But another character isn't necessary. Green/Emerald Hill Zone, anyone?

Metroid definately needs more representation. Hopefully Sakurai doesn't think that Zamus is enough representation and adds Ridley and Dark Samus to the roster.

I think F-Zero, metroid and starfox

Metroid, and Zelda for sure.
My biggest picks would be:
#1) Pikmin - The latest brainchild of the man that made Nintendo what it is today. Olimar being playable and an AT or two are a must, no doubts there.
#2) Fire Emblem - The series that started the entire tactical RPG genre, one of Nintendo's longest-running franchises, with a size rivaling Zelda and Pokèmon discounting remakes, popularity in Japan that rivals Zelda's, and now since its international release moderate popularity elsewhere. Marth's return and Roy getting an AT slot is the bare-bones minimum of what the series deserves beyond what we presently know, and a third character ought to be in if the roster is at or above 40 characters.
#3) Metroid - If the only new character this series gets is a Samus transformation, it'll be as big of a travesty as Diddy's absence from Melee. Another character is a must, and a couple of ATs sure wouldn't hurt either.
#4) Donkey Kong - Diddy is a huge step in the right direction, but this is Nintendo's #4 best selling saga ever, only recently usurped from its former #3 spot by Pokèmon. K Rool ought to be at least an AT, preferably playable, and Dixie or one of the other Kongs would be a good choice for an AT.
#5) Star Fox - Obviously its guaranteed at least one more PC from among its three remaining candidates, but with how popular it is it deserves two, and the third ought to be an AT if he/she can't be playable. Either Corneria or Sector Z should return as a stage, too, since many fans prefer them to the new one from what I've seen.
#6) Golden Sun - A newer series, but one with plenty of loyal fans still hoping for it to continue, and one which Nintendo and Camelot have said they're interested in continuing. What better way to honor it and get the ball rolling on its continuation than with Isaac as a PC and one or two others as ATs?
Note: I also believe that all series with even one playable character should get at least two stages, which was the count in Melee for everything but Fire Emblem, which only missed out due to the rushed nature of the game.

F-Zero, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Starfox, Fire Emblemand MOTHER out of the confirmed series.
F-Zero: Pico and Jody
Donkey Kong: K. Rool
Metroid: Ridley
Starfox: Krystal
Fire Emblem: Micaiah or any mage character.
MOTHER: Claus and Kumatora
Newcoming series that should get repped are Panel de Pon, Joy Mecha Fight, Takamaru's series, Pikmin, Megaman, Mischief Makers, and Phoenix Wright (at least an AT).

Here are the series that, I believe, should have the following representatives(in my opinion):
Mario: Geno
Donkey Kong: King K. Rool
Metroid: Ridley
Star Fox: Krystal(in her Assault outfit
)
Wario: Captain Syrup(why not?)
Mother: Masked Boy(you all know whom I am referring to
)
F-Zero: Black Shadow(seriously)
The new representatives from other series that I desire to see in the game are the following: Marina from Mischief Makers, Lip from Panel De Pon(or Puzzle De Pon. I keep confusing the names.
), Takamaru from that japanese game whose name I cannot quite remember at the moment, Sukapon from Joy Mech Fight and Megaman, from the series named after him.

MOTHER needs more rep.

Yeah, that was some annoying ranting going on there.
Anyway, I agree on the Metroid reputation, and the Fire Emblem reputation, but no so much about Nintendo Wars, which actually has been around longer than the Fire Emblem series and almost as long as the Metroid series. Other series that could use a rep or two are the Custom Robo series and the Pikmin series, namely in the form of Ray 01 for Custom Robo, and Captain Olimar for Pikmin. I wouldn't mind Isaac getting in from Golden Sun, and a few other reps from some of the smaller franchises as well.

Golden Sun, it needs a playable character (Isaac), an AT, a stage, and tons of music.

F-zero.
Sakurai, if you're watching, please add Black Shadow as a playable character.

Heres my opinions, and suggestions on Series that need more representation:
-Veteran Series-
Mario Series- The only further representation this series needs is Bowser Jr... Jr is now as important to the series as Luigi or maybe even more since Jr has been involved in actual plots of Mario games.
Legend of Zelda- The Legend of Zelda series has alot of reps if we count Zelda/sheik as 2 characters.. Odds are Sheik will return due to Zelda keeping basically all of her old moves (From screen shot images), and many believe Ganondorf will return also... If anyone should be added it should just be 1 more.. either Midna (due to her inclusion in TP, and the theme of TLoZ in brawl).. or WW Link ( showing another era of TLoZ which is also current)
Kirby - Kirby has the 3 characters it needs... TY Sakurai!
Pokemon - The Pokemon series is one of the best Selling franchises ever.. only surpassed by the Mario series. (They tend to get alot of reps and they deserve it, but lets not turn this into "Super Pokemon Smash bros"..) With the inclusion of PT, I say we have enough pokemon.. just bring back the ones from Melee (except Pichu!) and we will have enough.
Star Fox - I personally believe this series only needs 3, Fox, Falco, and Krystal.. however I also wonder if the inclusion of Wolf would also be interesting... If there is room for Wolf.. then sure.. if not then I'd rather have someone from another series with less reps.
Metroid - Now I am more for Dark Samus than ridley... however I believe they both deserve to be included.. the reason why the Metroid series is so tight with character inclusions is due to the lack of non-generic characters.. but recently with the prime trilogy Dark Samus has stood out, Ridley does seem more Boss-Like although he could be resized ala Bowser... This series should have atleast 3 reps.
Donkey Kong - This series has sadly been under represented... I found it odd that Diddy kong would not be included in melee while a completely new series (FE) got 2 reps but Donkey Kong remained at one... however this was fixed in brawl.. but the franchise is still under represented in my opinion.. We need K. rool.. and if possible Dixie.. I think this franchise deserves atleast 3 reps.
F-Zero - One rep is all we need. lol.
Earthbound/Mother3 - Hmm... While this is technically two different non-canon games they are still apart of the same franchise... I believe this series being in smash for 3 games deserves atleast 2 reps..
Ice Climbers - Who else could be in here... the vulture? nope. 1 rep.
Yoshi - Why he has his own franchise is beyond me... this would be like pikachu getting his own series for games like "Hey you pikachu" Although the yoshi games aren't that horrible I still see Yoshi as apart of the mario series.. and thus he only needs himself. (No Birdo is not apart of the Yoshi franchise!!!!!!!111)
Game and Watch - Well if he returns (which is likely) his franchise only needs him. *Wonders what Dark Game and watch will look like*
Fire Emblem - Ike and micaiah.. thats about all we need imo.
-Confirmed Newcomer Franchise-
Kid Icarus - Well I think Pit is good enough... unless someone wants medusa or an eggplant (oh how cool)
3rd Party - 1 character from each third party franchise that appears in brawl is fine.. remember this is a battle of Nintendo's all stars.. Although Im all up for multiple AT's from 3rd parties.
-Unconfirmed Newcomer Franchise-
Pikmin -1 rep... is all we need, and that fearless rep will be Olimar! , After Diddy was revealed, there was only 1 character that literally deserves to be in brawl and that is Olimar, his fan base is huge and everyone loves him.. besides he is a creation of Miyamoto!
Golden Sun - These games were cool, and Isaac is kinda second party so he could be awesome as the rep for Golden sun it only needs 1 rep.
Animal Crossing - We only need 1 animal crossing rep.. villager or.. Tom Nook (Whether he will be in is under question lol)
Im sure there are other franchises but thats all I could think of at the moment..
This was going to be apart of my own thread but I saw this and figured just post it here.. lol

Mother/Earthbound.
To my knowledge, it's at least one of the biggest RPG series in Japan and it has one dedicated cult following outside of it. The only reason it hasn't had more representation before is the poor sales from it's initial release.
It deserves it.

1: StarFox, at least one more for now
2: Metroid, there's Samus, and, less Samus. One more should do it (starts w/ R, ends w/ y) .
3: Zelda series, (although Ganondorf is a given)
4: Earthbound/Mother, if it is so popular in Japan, it should show.

I'd like it if single character franchises we already know about (Fire Emblem, Metroid., etc.), the obvious ones need a new character (Ridley for Metroid, Marth for FE, Geno for Mario), and the other single character ones (Warioware, Yoshi, etc.) get at least a few AT's.
Also, a rep for the AC symbol
and the DS symbol
.
As far as new series go, Golden Sun and Crystalis characters are up high in my book, along with stages and AT's.

Wave Race and Mole Mania would be ****ing epic, but highly unlikely

There are just so many good series that deserve representation...
Since Nintendo doesn't normally pay them any attention, THIS is the game to give them all the credit they deserve.
