For the uninitiated this is how it works. Every weekday I'll be doing a blog on the characters that deserve a roster spot in Nintendos next character smackdown. The franchises from which I'll be taking characters can be found under the "Part 1" link. If I get good feedback, I may add or change representative characters. Characters can also be added as Assist Trophies.
The Rules:
No more than 4 characters per franchise (trust me, it's a hard rule to follow through with)
Characters have to be primarily video game characters. (I want to add Colbert as much as you do)
Characters from Nintendo will go first, followed by characters from other companies
Characters must be major (I'm not adding Toad, or Sandshrew, or Lanky Kong. Whether a character is important enough is up to my own discression)
OlimarSynopsis: After wrecking his ship on an alien planet, Olimar met Pikmin, a strange race of plant-like creatures that seemed more than willing to do his bidding. They helped Olimar repair his ship, and later, hunted for treasure with him, without asking for anything in return.

Notable Appearances: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon(NES Japan Only, DS), Fire Emblem: Monshou to Nazo
SSB4 Likelyhood: 10/10
Ike
Synopsis: A Mercanary and the son of Greil, Ike is forced to lead the Greil Mercenaries after his father is murdered by the Black Knight. He and Princess Elincia seem to have a close relationship. He is not nearly as much of a douche in the Fire Emblem games as he was in Super Smash Brothers
Notable Appearances: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
SSB4 Likelyhood: 10/10
Differences: Adult Ike would likely be slower and more powerful, obviously still able to weild his 2-handed sword with one hand.
Alternate Costumes: Adult Ike

Lucas

SSB4 Likelyhood: 8/10
Claus
Ninten
Synopsis: Perhaps the most popular Athsmatic character in gaming, Ninten is little-known in the states because his only appearance was in the orignal Mother, which only released in Japan. Whether or not his similar appearance to Ness is a coincidence is yet to be seen.
Donkey KongSynopsis: The original pantsless video game star has been credited both with the salvation of the video game industry and the catalyst for the most popular character in gaming. Without the original Donkey Kong, there may be no Nintendo, and almost certainly no Mario. Donkey Kong's heyday is commonly believed to be the Donkey Kong Country games.
Notable appearances: Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong 64, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat
SSB4 Likelyhood: 10/10

Notable appearances: Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Land, Donkey Kong 64
KirbySynopsis:Kirby is one of the most unique and lovable characters in Nintendo's arsenal. His special ability allows him to swallow an opponent whole and copy their powers and abilities.
Notable Appearances: Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby Super Star, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
SSB4 likelyhood: 10/10
King DededeSynopsis:While often Kirby's enemy, King Dedede is really a kind heart hidden under a greedy and selfish body. He lives in a castle and has many "followers", but does not hold much credibility.
Notable Appearances: Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby Super Star, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
SSB4 Likelyhood: 9/10
Meta Knight
Synopsis: Meta Knight is the bad boy of Kirby games, and the owner of the Halberd ship. Under his mask, he looks much like a blue Kirby.

Happy birthday to me... happy birthday to me... I feel so lonely...Why don't you love me *sob*
But enough of that. lets get down to buisness! Things will start getting a little more controvercial starting with this entry.
Most of you know by now that I am the ultimate list whore. As such, I feel that I almost have a duty to create a character roster for the next Super Smash Bros, despite the fact that it may be 6 years down the road. Why am i adding this as a forum post as well as a blog? Because if there is a franchise or character that should obviously be added, I want to make sure that I dont miss them, so all of you need to let me know if some character is being forgotten. Every day, I will add a blog post including the characters from an entire franchise, complete with pictures, and perhaps a synopsis. Please respect that this is my list, and If there is a character I deem not worthy, then i will simply not add them.
PicachuSynopsis: Picachu is second only to Mario in popularity, as the face of the multi-million selling Pokemon franchise. Much of Pikachu's popularity comes from his team-up with Ash in the animated TV show, and from his special feature in Pokemon Yellow(where he walked behind the trainer). While not particularly powerful, he is one of the fastest and most useful electric type pokemon in the game.
MewtwoSynopsis:By far the most powerful creature from the original batch of pokemon games, Mewtwo is an enhanced clone of the original legendary Mew. Trainers only had the skill and oppourtunity to catch him after defeating the Elite Four and his creator, Giovanni.
Notable Appearances: Pokemon Red/Blue/ Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green
SSB4 Likelyhood: 5/10
LucarioSynopsis: Lucario has enjoyed a lot of popularity since appearing in the latest batch of pokemon games. He is obtained by hatching the Riolu Egg you obtain from the old man by the sea and becoming close friends with the Riolu, at which point it evolves.
Pokemon Trainer (red + blue gold + silver ruby + sapphire diamond + pearl)Synopsis: In the world of Pokemon, every young boy and girl dreams of working with pokemon. There are Pokemon breeders, traders, scientists, and even slave drivers(what would YOU call Team Rocket?). But many children become Pokemon Trainers, who train their creatures to fight eachother in a battle to prove who's the strongest.
Differences: In Brawl, the Pokemon Trainer used Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard. In the next game, players should have the option of picking from the playable trainers in each Pokemon Generation. That means the male and female trainers from FireRed/LeafGreen, Gold/Silver, Ruby/Sapphire, and Diamond/Pearl. Also, each variation would use the starting Pokemon from their generation. Thus, one setup would be Cyndaquil/Crockanaw/Meganium, another would be Mudkip/Grovyle/Blaziken, and Turtwig/Monferno/Emploeon.
In addition, I'd like to see a pair of the most famous members of the Elite Four, along with Ash, be playable as well, with their own sets of creatures. Cynthia-Milotic, Lucario, Garchomp. Lance-Dratini, Dragonair, Dragonite. Ash-Squirtle, Pikachu, Charizard.

FalconSynopsis: A defender of justice. A bane to evil-doers. And a pretty damn good racer. Captain Falcon has become almost a symbol of awesome nerd culture thanks to his doomsday finishing move, the Falcon Punch. His racer, the Blue Falcon, is famous thanks to the number of wins it has racked up.
Differences: I debated whether or not Black Shadow should be his own character up until the posting of this blog. I ended up deciding that he would be far too similar to Falcon. He would be slower, but would fill the same character slot. Blood Falcon would simply be a pallet swap.

Synopsis: Fox appearerd as a showcase of the Super-FX chip back on the Super Nintendo, but his real claim to fame is from his Nintendo 64 entry, Starfox 64. His father is missing, presumed dead, and he often runs into his dads old rival Wolf. Fox has stopped the evil scientist Andross in every one of his outtings. He doesn't work well outside of his cockpit.
Differences: Perhaps Fox would use a staff in his alternate costume
Adventures Fox
Falco
Synopsis: Falco is Fox's eternal wingman. While he can be snippy and sort of a jackass, he's extremely loyal and dependable. He's likely gunning for a little bit of individuallity in the next entry in Brawl.
Differences: It's about time that Falco gained his own moveset. I can't imagine he would want to copy Fox.
Wolf
Synopsis: Wolf has been in the dog(wolf?)fighting buisness since James McCloud's days with the star fleet. He has since taken to being Fox's antithisis at every turn. However, there have been signs that Wolf is not as cold-hearted as he seems. He has worked for Andross in the past. He won't let anyone do anything.
Differences: Wolf also needs his own moveset, even more so than Falco. Especially a different Final Smash.
Krystal
Synopsis: Krystal emerged from the forests of Dinosaur Planet to become a love interest of Fox. She has shown a high competancy level piloting arwings and landmasters despite living in a world without technology for most of her life.

SamusSynopsis: Samus is often regarded as one of the most bad-ass first ladies of gaming. While she doesnt have as many appearances as her Nintendo counterparts Link and Mario, she is just as well regarded, thanks to the unvarying quality of the games she has starred in. She is also well known for one of the best jumps into 3-D the world has seen.
Notable Appearances:Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 3, Metroid: Other M
SSB4 Likelyhood: 10/10
Differences: While each suit variation would have seperate stats, zero suit samus would have a completely different move set.
Zero Suit SamusPhazon Suit SamusLight Suit SamusFusion SamusDark Samus
Ridley
Synopsis: While Ridley has never been the final boss in a Metroid game, he is likely the biggest thorn in Samus' side. He controls a leigon of Space Pirates, and never seems to be down for the count.
Notable Appearances: Metroid, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime SSB4 Likelyhood: 7/10
