Really? That's too bad. You should REALLY play Super Metroid. As for my top 5 characters....

1. Ike - Fire Emblem: Goddess of Dawn
2. Sonic - Sonic the Hedgehog
3. Sigurd - Fire Emblem: Geneology of the Holy War
4. The Black Knight/Zelgius- Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
5. Ridley - Metroid

There are a ton more characters I would like to see, but those are my top 5.

These are the characters I believe WILL get no matter what in no particular order:

1. Sonic - How does it make sense tto allow 3rd party characters and NOT put in Sonic? Honestly!
2. Ridley- He is a big part of the Metroid series which Nintendo is trying to make their big FPS franchise. It makes sense to add more Metroid characters.
3. Diddy Kong- He is just as assential as Wario. He is DK's sidekick. If Mario gets Luigi, DK, the 2nd most important nintendo character should get his.
4. Geno- Because everyone is whining about him. I don't see how they could not put him in if there is such a demand.
5. Megaman- He is the other 3rd party character that just makes sense. He has hundreds of moves that he could have from all his games and did I mention he is from a very popular side scroller than originated on NES? He's almost a sure thing.

So IMO, it's almost set that the 3rd party characters will be Sonic, Megaman and Snake.

WELL... I may as well point out some different faces:

1. Bomberman- Yes I've been whining about this for a while. He has been on numerous successful games on Nintendo's consoles. The majority of moves wouldn't consider bombs and explosions either; he needs some exercize. Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! had him equipped with elemental bombs, which would fit nicely into his B moves. He's also a retro character, which is a plus. I believe Bomberman has been overlooked.

2. "Tales of" series character- Two games, Tales of Phantaisa (SNES, remade on GBA) and Tales of Symphonia (GC) are great games that could also invole Namco into Brawl. The main character of Phantasia, Cless, may have a better chance, coming from a SNES past and being around longer. The main of Symphonia, Lloyd Irving, is a duel-weilding sword user that could also mix things up in the sword group. All Tales games feature a linear-battle system of sorts that relates a bit to Smash, making them easy to fit in. Tho overall, Cless would have the better chance.

3. King Dedede- I always thought some universes were ignored a bit, like Kirby's, which makes me happy with the addition of Meta Knight. The King, however, has been around just as long and made a name for himself. Sure, he may never be the final main bad guy in the games, but he deserves his place among the villans roster. Least he's got charisma!

4. Wolf O' Donnell- Speaking of villans, Wolf from StarFox is one I consider to be one of the more expected characters in Brawl. Really, Smash should try and balance the good/evil sides of video games as much as they can. He's got his theme song already set (only 1...) and can possibly have his own move set, different from Fox. They might as well replace Falco altogether and have Wolf fill his place.

5. Lyndis- Yes, this sword-weilding vixen from Fire Emblem 7 has entranced us all. She comes from the first game released in America that introduced us to the universe that Roy and Marth hail from. She's an agile fighter with plenty of different possibilities for a moveset. I'd rather see her rather than any other Lord from FE. It's also another way to boost the female representation in Brawl, which is always a good thing.

Of course, nothing is absolute. But chances are that we'll see some
character ending with "man" in Brawl...

There is no way Boo will ever make it as a playable character in the game. And basically the only reason why is that he floats lol.
But that's the point. If you add characters that might not fit, then the game gets more fun and more intense. Adding Boo, is just what a game like Brawl needs, because people think of melee when they think of Brawl, and we need something to set it apart from that.

1) King K.Rool (DK series)
2) Diddy Kong (DK series)
3) Gex (Gex series)
4) Waluigi (Mario series)
5) Lucario (Pokemon series)

The problem with this is, say if all my characters make it into Brawl.... then what do I do? I main DK already and my secondary is Link. But if all my characters make it some I will only play once.

YES people, become a part of the BomberNation! *continues to recruit others to the Bomberman side*

It's kind of a given that Sonic should be in Brawl... I assume there isn't a person that can say he shouldn't be in Brawl. He's pretty high on my list too. I was inspired to love Sonic again when I played the Green Hill Zone in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. Converting that stage to 3D is so possible!

To the Metroid Fans:

I have played and own almost every single Metroid game out there (except for Hunters, i don't own a DS)

On Ridley getting into Brawl, im all for it, but has anyone ever really paid attention to the story line of Metroid?

Why is Super Metroid (Fav of all the series) take place after Metroid Prime? I know its a hard question to answer and quite possibly might not be answerable, but think about it, in Metroid Prime you face Metal Ridley, but in Super Metroid you face a normal Ridley.

Any answers at all on why this would've accurred?

i am afraid ridley would become overpowered if he made it in brawl; he has great reach, powerful attacks, he is fast, and he has a great recovery. plus i think his wings would be an issue; they take up a lot of space, they are cumbersome, and i don't think he can fold them up like a moth.

1: Fulgore (Killer Instinct/2/Gold)
2: Dark Samus (Metroid Prime 2)
3: Sheriff (Sheriff)
4: Diddy Kong (Donkey Kong Country)
5: Dynamite Headdy (3rd party, Dynamite Headdy)
HEADDY WOULD BE AWESOME!, I was thinking about that while playin an emulator of it, but i didnt think anyone else would consider him.. I think it would be cool for a grab if it worked kind of like link or samus in that its ranged, but instead pulls headdy over to the enemy instead of the way it works normally.

I woulddn't mind if they kept young link if they actually differentiated between the two more, maybe take away the hookshot, and bombs (or make them bomb flowers) from young link, give him deku nuts/sticks, maybe take away old links boomerang and add an item like the fire rod or ice rod?

1: Lucario (Pokémon)
2: Ridley (Metroid)
3: Cloud (Final Fantasy VII)
4: Wolf (Star Fox)
5: Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog)

Those are my top 5, Sonic isn't really one of my very most wanted characters, but I couldn't think of anything else much for my 5th choice.

Mewtwo was the most powerful Pokémon and he's not exactly the best character in Melee.
