With Super Smash Bros having a large variety of all
star gaming cast including third party and with the recent announcement of more
Super Smash Bros Ultimate DLC on its way, here are the characters that I would
like for Super Smash Bros. I’ll try to come up with as many possible movesets
as I can. I may also mention some related Assist Trophies.
Eeveelutions/Eevee
– Pokemon
Naturally as an Eeveelution fan, I would be so
hyped for the Eeveelutions or at the very minimum, Eevee. I actually thought
with the release of Let’s go Pikachu and Let’s go Eevee, there would be a
possibility of that happening. It would be so fun to use all the Eeveelutions
into battle with a variety of moves based on their type. Even if only Eevee is
playable, it actually does have many moves it could use from Let’s Go Eevee
including its Move Tutor moves. Either way, their final smash could have all
the Eeveelutions gathering together to unleash one powerful move, making it an
awesome Final Smash.
At a side note, maybe there could also be a Hoenn, Unova and Galar representation (unless Sword and Shield will have a new Eeveelution!). Blaziken and Snivy comes to mind since Starter Pokemon tends to be chosen although there was once a rumor about Gardevoir and Gothitelle for Super Smash Bros Ultimate which would fit that bill.

Phoenix
Wright/Apollo Justice – Ace Attorney
Objection! Having Phoenix Wright in Smash wouldn’t
be a joke since he did appeared in Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3 and being an Ace
Attorney fan, it would be a dream come true if this became a reality. Phoenix
Wright’s Smashes could be his finger pointing poses, yelling “Objection!” and
“Take That!” which would be so entertaining and he could summon his partner in
crime Maya Fey to defend him. He could work in an almost similar way to
Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, having Investigation, Courtroom and Turnabout
mode, making himself stronger as he gathers evidence. Of course, his Final
Smash would be just like his Level Three Hyper Combo from again Ultimate Marvel
Vs Capcom; testifying the characters in court in a true Ace Attorney style.
On a similar subject, Apollo Justice could be his
echo fighter, swapping Maya Fey with Trucy Wright while Athena Cykes could be
an Assist Trophy character, using her Mood Matrix to attack the characters on
screen.
Dante –
Devil May Cry
With Bayonetta in Smash, it would be about time
that Dante joins Super Smash Bros. He would have a wide variety of moves to use
including his Ebovy and Ivony, Rebellion and Devil Trigger which would make him
a versatile, if not stylish threat.
Black Knight
– Fire Emblem
A couple of people have been suggesting Three
Houses characters including Byleth and Edelgard which I wouldn’t mind having to
played the game myself. However, there is one other Fire Emblem character in mind
and that is Ike’s rival Black Knight. This would be an interesting direction as
an antagonist based Fire Emblem character who would be a formidable heavy
weight; tanking hits and hitting hard. Whilst his mobility would be poor with
his heavy armour, he could use his Fire Emblem Heroes based skills Wings of
Mercy or Wrap Powder as his recovery.
With Fire Emblem Heroes comes to mind, I would also
add Reinhardnt as an Assist Trophy character, firing his Dire Thunder at the
opponents saying “Magic is everything!” He could even use his Meisterschwert
sword at close range opponents.
Sora –
Kingdom Hearts
As unlikely it may seem for now, Sora is no stranger
to crossovers having to venture in the Disney universe. He would almost certainly
be versatile with a variety of moves to choose from including his keyblades,
magic and limits. Maybe he could even bring Mickey, Donald and Goofy with him. Not only that, but a Super Smash Bros and
Disney collaboration would certainly be something to hype for so maybe one day,
Sora could open the door that would lead him to the Super Smash Bros universe.
Karate Joe/RingSide Wrestler - Rhythm Paradise
When it comes to a Rhythm Paradise (aka Rhythm Heaven) representation, The Chorus Boys have been the first choice that comes to mind for many fans. However, my personal choice would be Karate Joe. The reason is that he's the kind of character who is made for fighting being a karate man and he is even shown using his karate skills in his games, hitting bombs and barrels with his punching and kicking moves. His other special could be various references to other games from the Rhythm Paradise series. This would make Karate Joe right at home in Smash.

But that's not all, I would also like the Ringside Wrestler who could be Karate Joe's echo fighter since he is the character who would be suited for fighting. After all, he is popular thanks to those memes associated with his game.
God Eater
Having to play God Eater, I have thought of the
idea of having a God Eater character in smash (either using the main playable
God Eater character or Soma or Alisa who are probably the most popular God
Eater characters). They do have a variety of arsenal including their God Arcs
(such as blades, Guns and Spears), Blood Arts and Devour. Having a God Eater
character would also mean that we would have their music added and I find that
the series have one of the best gaming soundtrack.
As a side note, one of the Aragami, the Vajra could
be an Assist Trophy or a stage hazard, ramping the characters with its deadly
electric based attacks.
Tails –
Sonic The Hedgehog
A lot of people have been wanting Shadow the
Hedgehog as the next Sonic representative. I do think that Shadow is cool and I
can see why but I was thinking of somebody more traditional; Sonic’s sidekick
Tails. Since after all, we have Mario’s brother Luigi and Ryu’s friend and
rival Ken so maybe one day, Tails could join Sonic in Smash. His moveset could be identical to Sonic’s as
he does knows some spin dash moves of his own, except that he is able to fly
which would give him some mobility and he could use his inventions as his Final
Smash including his Tornado 2.
Arcade Bunny
– Nintendo Badge Arcade
An odd choice he maybe but as I was playing
Nintendo Badge Arcade and enjoyed its variety of crane based games to get the
badges and was thinking that his specials could be based on the crane games
including a the crane hook to grab his opponents, a hammer and bombs. This makes
him an unusual choice that could actually work.
Ray MK II –
Custom Robo
If Nintendo were to use one of their more obscure
franchises, I would choose Custom Robo, making Ray MK II the obvious
representation (also since he have been an Assist Trophy in Brawl). This could
help to give Custom Robo more recognition and for veterans to rediscover the
series. And who knows, maybe it could give the series a revival.
Kite/Haseo –
Dot Hack
As I was playing Dot Hack GU HD Remastered, I
thought of the possibility of a Dot Hack character being playable for Smash
with a wide variety of moves the characters could use including Haseo’s Dual
Swords, Scythe and various lost weapons which are all bound to have lots of
possibilities. This would also give the franchise some more limelight after
being stagnant for a decade. Kite would possibly be the first pick as he’s the
better known protagonist though it wouldn’t do harm to have Haseo alongside him
too. Either way, their Final Smash would
involve Data Drain (with Haseo using his Skeith).
Makoto Naegi
– Danganronpa
In a similar vain to Phoenix Wright, Makoto would
be an odd pick since he’s a mere human with no powers or weapons but as a fan
of Danganronpa, I thought it would be cool to have a Danganronpa representation
and asides from Monokuma (who could be an Assist Trophy or a stage hazard and
I’m personally not a fan of having an antagonist as the sole representation),
Makoto would be the most obvious pick. Like with again Phoenix Wright, it would
be interesting to see how could Sakurai could come up with a moveset for Makoto
to improvise including a Megaphone Hacking Gun (from the Danganronpa side game
Ultra Despiar Girls), truth bullets and various references from The Class Trail
minigames including the Bullet Time Battle. For now, we have to hope that this
becomes a possibility (pardon the pun).
Muddy Mole –
Mole Mania
If Sakurai were to choose one of the more obscure
characters from an obscure game, it would be Muddy Mole from one of Shigeru
Miyamoto’s little known works. We had some many odd choices throughout Smash
Bros including Mr Game and Watch, R.O.B, Wii Fit Trainer, Duck Hunt Duo and Piranha
Plant and Muddy Mole could join the Unexpected Character trope. It could even
help to give Mole Mania a bigger following. Two of his moves would involve
digging (of course) and moving the ball like he did in the game.
Mii Mage
Not actually a character but a new class for the
Mii Fighters. There have been times when I’ve created Miis based on characters
that have magical powers or people who would have magical powers (like myself)
and Mii Gunner is the closest thing to it having long ranged attacks but they’re
not really magic so adding a new Mii Fighter class would solve that issue. They
would have a variety of magical based powers to choose from including Fire,
Electric, Ice, Air, Aqua, Light, Dark or just Psychic. They could also have
some defensive based moves including teleport and shield, giving them some versatility.
Wonder Red –
Wonderful 101
Wonderful 101 was a wonderful gem back in the Wii U
days (pardon the pun) yet it apparently didn’t sell very well. Maybe if Wonder
Red were to appear on Super Smash Bros, maybe it could help more people to get
into Wonderful 101, earning it more sells. With so many moves that the
Wonderful 101 characters have including Wonder Red’s Unite Hand and being an
action packed super hero, Wonder Red would feel right at home in Smash.
Saki - Sin and Punishment
We have Saki as an Assist Trophy and a Mii outfit but I say it's about time to have a playable Sin and Punishment representation and Saki himself is a no brainer (or Isa from the squeal or even both of them with Isa as the Echo Fighter). This could help to give Sin and Punishment more exposure.

Tycho
Minogue – My ExBoyfriend the Space Tyrant
Lol.
Honorable Mentions
I’ve been playing Resonance of Fates HD remaster on
Steam and thought that Zephyr would make a cool addition, having a couple of
weapons to choose from and Hero Mode that would make him a faster, stronger and
enable him to jump higher, making him a formidable character.
With Sega’s former cash cow franchise Sakura Wars
getting a new game, maybe a Sakura War character could be possible including
Sakura Shinjuuji or Ichiro Ohagami, adding another Sega representative.
The other Capcom franchise come to mind is Darkstalkers
with Morrgian Aensland as the playable representative I guess.
If Smash Bros were to have a Disgaea representation, then Laharl would be an obvious pick with him being the star of the first game...along with Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth! Cos it would be fun to have a hammy hero parody style character in the game.

As far as other Indie games representatives comes
to mind, Awesomenauts would be...well, awesome! There are so many characters to
choose from with moves that would suit well for Smash Bros. Lonestar and Clunk
comes to mind.
Some good ideas there!
