I would love more Star Fox characters as long if they are not clones. General Scales would be cool to play as if they give him a good move list.

StarFox has three characters in already and Metroid is one of the three flagship Nintendo franchises still going strong in the modern age (Mario, Zelda, and Metroid). I would be extremely pissed if even an original StarFox character was added. Metroid is so poorly represented in the games for how big the series actually is.

Metroid is so poorly represented in the games for how big the series actually is.

Only culturally. Financially, it's one of Nintendo's poorest selling core franchises. And has always been bigger in the States. Metroid is weird that way. Moar Sylux.

[Hellspawn28]

I still wish the characters from Metroid Prime Hunters made into Brawl. I always wanted to see more Donkey Kong characters though.

[miguelnuva]

If were getting DLC we shouldn't have to worry about characters, I wonder if a create a fighter will be in this time?

[Goji]

There are already three characters from Donkey Kong, and that's enough. Dixie Kong is the only other who would really be worth adding, IMOHO. If any franchise deserves to have more characters it's Zelda (Midna please) and Mario. Those are their flagship series, and there are literally tons of character possibilities.

I'd love to see more characters from Metroid, but really, who could even be added other than Dark Samus with an original move set? MP:Hunters wasn't in the least bit popular, so using any of those characters probably wouldn't be very well received. Ridley is gigantic in the Metroid universe..but then again, Bowser was shrunk down for the Smash series, so I guess anything is possible.

[Living Corpse]

Wolf Link and either Alex or Pious from Eternal Darkness.

[Goji]

Wolf Link w/Midna or Midna standalone would be fine by me.

[Hedorah]

Ghirahim would be a pretty cool addition IMO, but I definitely agree with Midna too.

[GreenAiden555]

...3 Donkey Kong Characters? DK, Diddy, and.... Mario?

[Goji]

My bad, there are just the two. Dixie is the only other one (IMO) that would be worth adding.

[hammysammy59]

I'd definitely like to see Dixie Kong in the game in some capacity. I always thought she and Diddy would make a cool Ice Climbers-style team.

K. Rool would be cool too. His different appearances definitely lend themselves to different special attacks and costumes. His final smash (assuming those come back) could be summoning KAOS.

[Giga Kaiju]

I would like to see Ridley (Metroid) and Shadow (Sonic The Hedgehog) although if they put Sonic in again probably they will
put Tails on it. Krystal (Star Fox). Shulk (Xenoblade).

[Living Corpse]

I still want Alex or Pious from Eternal Darkness. With Snake gone they can fill in the M for mature role, the game is exclusive to the Gamecube so they don't have to spend money on a third party trying to get them, Alex has a sword melee and can use her guns for long range or the Enchanted Gladius for a projectile, Pious has his staff and can use that shockwave spell for range, they both can use the achrine arts for their special moves and their Final Smash moves could be them summoning one of the ancients to attack everyone on screen.

[Hellspawn28]

I thought they can't use Eternal Darkness characters due to them being own by Silicon Knights and no Silicon Knights longer works for Nintendo?

[Living Corpse]

Nintendo is the publisher and they recently renewed their copyright for it so that could mean they are gonna make a new one for the Wii U or port the Gamecube game to the Wii U. Now I am no expert on copyright laws nor do I claim to be but I'm sure if Nintendo wanted to port the game or make a new one or just use some of the characters for SSB4 they would still have to strike a deal with Silicon Knights.

Also Silicon Knights said they want to revisit one of their most requested games and ED has a pretty decent cult following. Though it could all be just a coincidence. Damn it.

[hammysammy59]

What else has Silicon Knights done besides Eternal Darkness? I know they ported Metal Gear Solid and finally released the underwhelming Too Human... do they have anything else to their name? It'd have to be Eternal Darkness, wouldn't it? It'd make sense, considering Nintendo wants to grab "hardcore" gamers with the Wii U.

A quick look at their wiki page shows they've done some PC games way back in the day, a few licensed titles (an X-Men game most recently) and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. That one was kind of a big deal, wasn't it? I'd say it's either Kain or ED.

Eternal Darkness ruled, so I'd love to see more if it in the future, and it'd be an awesomely weird addition to the (mostly) colorful, family friendly world of Smash Bros.

Speaking of creepy shit in Smash Bros., I want the Brinstar Depths level from Melee back! I LOVED that one, and was super sad to see that not only was it not included in Brawl officially, but there was no way to really rebuild it in the stage creator either. Don't get me wrong, I had a BLAST with the stage creator (easily made over 100 levels), but I'm hoping they bring it back for 4 and enhance it.
