I still like to see Paper Mario in the next game.

1-But that's 2 big slow characters and 1 quick small character, still unbalanced : s

...But if they were added to the Brawl trio, it'd be three small characters and three large characters. Sounds balanced to me.

Hah, Raccoon Mario looks awesome. Though what's with Fluffy Cloud Hat Mario?

Bee Mario doesn't look too great.

Aww.

No I meant, for a one slot, form changing character, to change between heavy, heavy and quick character, it's not very balanced.

About Fluffy hat, it's from Mario Galaxy, although it's not yet finished as you can see, still looks pretty good.

That's how it originally looks.

So then mix the order up so it's Squirtle/Charizard/Ivysaur/Snorlax/Espeon/Lapras, something like that.

Other than the original Metroid (in which Kraid is tiny too), Ridley has ALWAYS been much larger than Samus.

The opening of Melee shows Samus fighting a Ridley that's the same size she is.

Keeping the Pokemon Trainer at only three pokemon leaves it open for a another Pokemon Trainer with new Pokes.

True about Ridley I rewatched the video and Ridleys only around 2 feet taller(With his neck fully erect), but that was more of a super deform form of Ridley even thought the intro bit was based off of Super Metroid. But even in Super Metroid Ridley was far much taller and with Zero mission remaking the first game we know he was even larger, but even if they did resize Ridley and make him playable people would bitch and complain about them resizing him and would never let it go.

I'd much rather have Dark Samus and Sylux anyway. Word.

Agreed, Keep Ridley as a Boss so they can keep him full size.

Cycling between the 3 pokemon already took too much time, 3 PKMN per trainer is good enough.

And one PKMN trainer is more than enough for me, there's already more PKMN characters than any other series.

[zilla103192]

agreed.

give othr franchises a chance...

why not let birdo be playable?

[hammysammy59]

If we're going to get more playable Metroid characters, I SUPER don't want them to be Samus clones. Brawl has clones a-plenty as-is. Have normal Ridley be a (large) playable character, keep Meta-Ridley as a humongo boss character. Works for Bowser and Giga Bowser.

[Legionmaster]

agreed.

Right...so giving "other" franchises a chance means making MORE Mario characters?

[Gigan X3]

agreed.

I was thinking on Fire Emblem, Star Fox, F-ZERO, Metroid and Mother.

[mecha-gino]

We need more characters from the series involving the man in the purple suit WITH GOLDEN NIPPLES OF JUSTICE!!!

And some others wouldn't be bad either. More metroid would be nice, if they can work dark samus so she wouldn't be a clone, I'd be all over that!

That's super special Awesome!

Fire Emblem maybe, Star Fox no, F-Zero and Metroid YES please and Mother not so much.

Why?

Fire Emblem has a decent following in the west now, but 2 characters I'd say is pretty good recognition for what's more of a niche series for Nintendo.

Star Fox already has three characters. I LOVE Star Fox and Star Fox 64, but three is enough, especially since two of them are clones.

F-Zero needs a little more love (how about a Wii F-Zero for god's sake?). Playable Samurai Goroh was something I was hoping/expecting in Brawl. We know how I feel about playable Ridley for more Metroid representation.

Mother is sadly dead in the West, and I think the series is pretty much done for even in its homeland. The most recent entry was a Japan-only GBA game, after all. I think the fact that we even got Ness in the first two SSBs was a pretty generous move by Sakurai and co.

I think how iconic a character is to a series is/should be a big factor to whether or not a character gets playability status (one of the major reasons I want playable Ridley instead of Dark Samus, etc.). As an example, Birdo has yet to star in his/her/its own game, so I feel like that character is better suited as a low-level enemy or trophy. Likewise, the bigger the franchise, the more characters it gets/"deserves." Hence why we have a handful of playable Mario characters and Bubbles from Clu Clu Land has yet to be playable.

I'd also like to see:
-Playable Tingle (be a great joke character, and would expand the Zelda roster)
-Playable Ridley
-An Advance Wars character
-Playable Little Mac
-Medusa or Palutena or Eggplant Wizard (somebody from Kid Icarus, depending on how good/well-received the 3DS game is)
-Playable Mach Rider (kind of a "return-from-NES-limbo" character ala the Ice Climbers, ROB and Mr. Game and Watch. His gritty post-apocalyptic motif would be pretty fresh for the series, and make him a fun companion for other futuristic Nintendo characters like Samus and Captain Falcon)

[Legionmaster]

If we get playable Little Mac and Eggplant Wizard, we need King Hippo. And then Megaman and Simon Belmont as 3rd party characters. Oh, and might as well toss a playable Mother Brain. And then, and only then, can we get playable Captain N.

[hammysammy59]

Hahaha, gross. As long as they look and act like the real/video game versions of themselves (Mega Man is BLUE, not green you idiots!), I'm 100% down with everyone you just listed... except Captain N. He is an abortion.

[Gigan X3]

Tingle is hated on the West, so much that he won't be appearing in future console/big Zelda games, and hasn't appeared since Wind Waker, he's still appearing in the portable games though. So Playable Tingle is kinda tough, I'd rather see Vaati or Skull Kid.

Advance Wars SOOOO needs to be represented with playable characters.

By the way, Falco is no longer a Fox clone at all.

[vaporchu]

And Wolf is even less of a clone. :/

I still feel that we should either get playable Ridley or no more Metroid characters. The only other iconic characters are what? The titular Metroid? Mother Brain? Dark Samus? The former two wouldn't make for a great playable character at all, and the later would most likely end up being a clone(even though a unique moveset is entirely possible). Ridley on the other hand would bring something fresh to the table, while still being a recognizable character. I don't care if they have to shrink him, I mean, they done the same to Bowser.

I think we should also get another F Zero character. I was expecting someone to be playable in Brawl besides the Captain.

[Hellspawn28]

What about the characters from Metroid Prime Hunters for the next game?
