Super Smash Brothers Wishlist

Hey there, so I was at work today chatting with my co-worker on who we would want to be the new characters added to the Super Smash Brothers lineup. Just so you know, I've owned all of the games, and adore the series. Brawl was the best of them; just simply fantastic. However, I was partially disappointed by some of the lineup choices they made. So, on top of all currently active Brawl lineup, and excluding third party publisher characters, here's my wish list for the next Super Smash Brothers:

Ridley
We got to see this violet villain in the opening of Melee, and got to fight two versions of him in Brawl, but I'm still waiting for the chance to play him! Ridley, is one of the primary Nintendo villains, as demonstrated by his roles in the Brawl storyline. Also, as the opening of Melee shows, not all of his iterations (as there are many in the Metroid story) are so gigantic. It would be easy and sweet see a smaller version in the game as a playable villain.





King K. Rool
Honestly, I don't know why King K. Rool wasn't in Brawl. After all, how can you have a set of Nintendo villains without the primary antagonist of the Donkey Kong Country games. Sure, it's obvious he'd be one more heavyweight villain, but he'd be much more humorous than the others, and all the more reason to have a faster moving Ridley in the same lineup.







Zant
Though a minor Nintendo villain, and a second Zelda, I think Zant would be a great addition to the villains lineup. For one, he's quite the badass in his mask, but also an entertaining psycho without it. In Twilight Princess, there was a distinct contrast in his personality with and without his mask. This could perhaps be a crucial point to his move set, giving him two styles a la Samus/Zero Suit Samus, or Zelda/Shiek.









Vaati
If Zant was acceptable despite his minor villain status, Vaati wouldn't be a bad addition either. He's quite powerful as the second most prevalent LoZ villain, and judging by his abilities as a sorcerer, he could probably make a fantastic ranged character. Now, this is obviously accepting that he'd be of proper size and not that of his original Minish self. Also, like Ganondorf, Vaati has an all-powerful "demon form" which would make for a great final smash.






Pious Augustus
Now I suppose many of you are going WTF!? Well, here's the explanation. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem was this lost little gem for the gamecube. It was a creative psychological horror a la the Cthulhu Mythos, and though developed by Silicon Knights, was Published by Nintendo. Furthermore, Eternal Darkness, was listed in Brawl as one of the many Nintendo games released by the company over the years.

That said, Pious Augustus is the PERFECT new villain character to add because of his degree of dark, badassery. Pious, is an undead sorcerer who serves an eldritch master, seeking to bring his benefactor into the world of the living. He's imbued with all sorts of magical powers and is armed with a staff made from human bones (namely the spine, ribs, and pelvic bones.) Also, if another clone character is needed, before he was a sorcerer, Pious was a gladius wielding Roman General.

Mewtwo
(My turn...) Seriously, WTF? Who the hell's idea was it to get rid of Mewtwo. I don't care what loser came up with the Smash Bros. "Tier System" but Mewtwo was a unique, and powerful member of the lineup. He was taken out after Melee, and replaced in Brawl by Lucario which, though not a clone, is eerily similar to his predecessor. Seriously, bring Mewtwo back. Three good reasons why. 1. To complete the set of Nintendo villains. 2. There was no good reason to remove him in the first place. 3. He'd make a fantastic tag team partner for Lucario.




Blaziken
In light of Lucario, yet another fighting pokemon that would be well placed in the lineup is this avian fighter. Blaziken would bring back the fire fighting style that we lost when Roy was dropped. Not to mention, she would add to the female characters as well.







Krystal
Though we need another Fox clone like we all need another hole in the head, how about a Star Fox character that was designed to have a game all her own? Unlike Fox, Falco, and Wolf, Krystal would actually REQUIRE a unique moveset as she's outfited with fantasy gear instead of sci-fi. Another reason she'd be good is she'd add to the cast of Nintendo females which no one would complain about.






Geno
Many people were quite disappointed to see Geno missing from the Brawl lineup. I myself was that that heart broken but I cannot deny that he is a cool character with a a large array of attacks to draw from in Super Marion RPG.












Kat and Ana
The Ice Climbers are a very innovative idea, but let's face it, lame. Kat and Ana from Wario Ware would be the answer to that. This pair of ninja twins would be able to put some real power and speed behind the idea. This is plainly illustrated in Brawl with the devastation these little girls cause as their assist trophy. Just imagine what they could do as full blown characters.
