Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Dr. Mario - No more clones!
Dark Pit - No more clones!
Lucina - No more clones!  Also one less FE swordperson.
Cloud - Another anime swordperson, who also has no ties to Nintendo at all.
Roy - By far the hardest choice, but he's another FE swordman who adds very little.  At least new bloke looks vaguely interesting.

Dishonourable mentions to Ryu and the Mii Fighters.

Ridley - The Metroid series is under-represented.
King K. Rool - The DK series is under-represented, and he's the most interesting of the more iconic characters.
Krystal - The Starfox series is under-represented, and Wolf's too close to Fox.
Inkling - Would be a lot of fun.
Phoenix Wright - Long Nintendo history.  Would be a brilliant fighter.

Honourable mention to Prof. Layton.

Lucina - She is basically Marth, and Fire Emblem is over-represented.

Roy - As much as I like the changes made to him, he's still a clone and Fire Emblem does not need six characters.

Dark Pit -



Dr Mario - Clone, and a pointless one at that. Get him gone.

And I'm going to cheat a little bit here and say Ganondorf in his current form. You'll see why below!

Ganondorf, but with his own moveset. They're getting there with each installment, but they need to distance him from Captain Falcon. Ganon doesn't deserve the clone treatment - he's one of Nintendo's biggest baddies! I like what Brawl mod Project M did with Ganondorf over here.

Ridley - No more excuses Sakurai.

King K. Rool - I think he'd be a cool inclusion. Kremlings and cannonballs!

Wolf - I liked Wolf. He was different enough from Fox and I enjoyed playing as him.

Toad - I want to beat up a Toad.

Marth I don't like clones, but I do like Lucina!
Dr. Mario Dumb clone. Not really even another character, surely? Just Mario with an MD.
Dark Pit There is LITERALLY A DARK PIT SKIN FOR PIT. Urgh, stupid character choice!
Cloud I know he's much-requested, and might hint at a future Nintendo FF release, but... come on, he hasn't even been on a Nintendo.
Villager See my nexrt bit...

Kraid The Metroid series is under-represented, and this would be a hilarious troll to everybody who wanted Ridley.
Inkling The best new Nintendo character in ages, plus they'd add variety by being about as far from a bloke with a sword as one can get.
Medusa I understand Sakurai wanting lots of KI:U characters, but anyting is better than a clone. Plus, villains are good.
Snake He's been on Nintendo machines and the fact that he didn't fit into Smash is what made him so perfect.
Luke Instead of the generic Animal Crossing villagers we got, I'd have liked something which can be tied to an Animal Crossing save file. They're basically just different shirts and colours anyway, so it should be doable!

Robin - It's an avatar not a character.  
Corrin - cool looking move set aside it's the same as above.
Dr Mario - Not a fan of clones either
Dark Pit - He's just lame.

Cap'n Cuttlefish - While the inklings would be nice they break the avatar rule I mention above.
Judd the cat - You got the Cap'n you have to have his cat as well.
Chibi-robo - He at least has to be in a good game, right?  
Sylux - If Mr Sakurai is sticking to his guns over Ridley then Samus' actual bounty hunter rival is a perfect choice. (He'd probably need to have a solid showing in MP4 to get a bit more clout behind him though)

-Marth Skin (aka Lucina)

Do we need this taking up a slot?  No, no we don't, and Marth gets Pikachu and Mario priority over Waifu Marth.

-Inferior Cloud (aka Link, or Shulk, take your pick)

Both these guys have been trying to steal the Anime Swordsman's limelight for ages.  With his inclusion they are now redundant, and we have Toon Link for differential purposes.

-Ganondorf (aka Captain Falcon: Triforce of Power Edition)

Being a clone might have been acceptable back in Melee, but since then Ganondorf has shown unique fighting styles in every appearance.  And to add insult to injury absolutely none of his fighting styles even resembles Falcon's.  

-Villager (aka most boring character to play as)

There are characters from Animal Crossing that should be on the roster.  This avatar ain't one of them.

-Jigglypuff (aka Inferior Kirby)

My tag sums up my feelings really.  Only unlike Luigi and Roy she hasn't moved on from her clone days.

-Ganondorf: Mage Edition

Ah, now this is more like it.  A magic based moveset.  Swords would be obvious, but I think at this point we've got enough of those, and Ganondorf is an acomplished magic user so lets get unique!

-Ray MKIII

Every game sees a new little known older IP, Custom Robo had an assist trophy in Brawl, well, lets see that expanded on and turned in to a unique roster addition instead!

-Lightning Farron

For the sake of uniqueness she'd be using Odin's Gungnir to fight rather than the Gunblade.  Between that and her comboable magic system she's make a good representation of gamings premier RPG series future days!

-Mr. Resetti

Bags of personality this guy would make an excellent rep for Animal Crossing while still having a unique moveset, and good comedy factor!  

-Wolf

#freewolf

they've brought a perfect balance to heavy strikes.  Love his airial attacks with the weird hit-boxes like his forward air which can even meteor people in the air or smash them if they're landed.  His neutral air is reminiscent of Shulk's f-air too, which I like.  Limit break is sweet too as it forces the player to think whether they want to be able to use special moves for spacing or have the stat buff.  

Any five Fire Emblem characters. Take your pick. You'd still have one left, so no complaints.

Solid Snake - Brilliant fun in Brawl.
Travis Touchdown - A great character who should be used throughout games more often.
Paper Mario - More than a clone, a very distinctive character in itself.
Reggie - Should be in! Everyone would love it.
Buska's Villager idea - Really smart!

Dr Mario, He's a boring clone

Ike or Roy I sooner have Lucina & Marth even if one is a clone but one is sort my first sort of big FE character and the other is the most iconic of the series, maybe just tweak one of them. I do think there is still to many FE characters though same with Pokemon which to me should be one pokemon from each generation if your doing that many

Dark Pit Clone and Pit has a palette swap of him

Shulk He looks cool and all that but I've got no attachment to him

Lucas Similar to Shulk as I've not played Mother 3 and it doesn't look I will anytime soon

Ghirahim Because more Zelda is always good

Isaac Anime Swordsman for anime swordsman but it baffles me why Golden Sun isn't represented in the game

Medusa Going to agree with Drunka here

Calista Shulk I wasn't sure about replacing with a 3rd party but as it's more 2nd party, I've gone for Calista from TLS over Zael from the game as she will be less anime swordswoman with her magic etc, think similar to FE's Robin

Mike Jones to come in for Lucas just for the retro weird character factor

I can think of more I would add and maybe take out like my one Pokemon from each gen idea, more Zelda characters, well known 3rd party that make sense like a Bomberman for instance

Any 3 Fire Emblem characters - I appreciate how popular Fire Emblem is, and it has its roots deep in Nintendo history, and I agree that there definitely should be some. But they... they're all anime swordpeople who... are... I don't know! Er... let's keep Marth because he was the first, and Robin because he/she has a magic ability. So let's boot out Lucina as he's Marth again, this new guy, and then toss a coin for the other two.
Dark Pit - It's just Pit.
Zero Suit Samus - doesn't really behave like Samus; plus the whole Zero Suit thing never really goes well with

Micaiah - Aha! It's another Fire Emblem character! Even I know enough about Fire Emblem series to know that she's kind of unique. And she has a widdle birdie!
Chibi-Robo - because he deserves a break after the last game
Ashley - Promote her from the Assist Trophies please!
Ameterasu -Because you should know why.
Siegmeyer from Dark Souls - because if Cloud can get in...

1) Pac-Man, purely because I don't like him. Yeah, I'm getting personal right from the off.
2) Dark Pit, purely because clone. I was excited when I unlocked him; playing as him brought nothing new to the table. Nothing.
3) Dr. Mario, purely because see above. Give his coat to Mario as an alternative costume.
4) Roy, purely because Fire Emblem has become overrepresented and, well, last in, first out (Corrin will be last in but isn't yet, in my head).
5) Robin, because Lucina should stay, as she's female.

1) Toad, because it's about time. Captain Toad/Toadette/Toadsworth alt costumes, at least.
2) Paper Mario, because he could be made a very cool fighter with plenty of interesting mechanics from his adventures down the ages.
3) Inkling(s), because Nintendo should be doing their best to capture the zeitgeist before Spla2n.
4) Ice Climbers, because Dead Lemon is right.
5) Shovel Knight, because I am disappointed I won't get to play as him.
