A reader who is as excited about Super Smash Bros. Brawl as we are suggested this excellent question to get the day started: if you could see anyone in the game, any character at all, who would you want? Or are you pretty satisfied with the current roster? That's a pretty tough one ... there are a lot of characters out there. Comedic answers will earn you both bonus points and respect.[Thanks, Alexander!]

Megaman would be pretty sweet, especially since he has rather unique physics. Along those same lines, Jeff from the Earthbound (Mother) series would be pretty sweet too.

You know what? I'd also like to beat the shit out of George W. Bush with Jigglypuff.
Just shy of having the President as a playable character, however, I would settle for playable Mii characters.

As soon as it was revealed that Yasunori Mitsuda was one of the composers for the game I began to hold out hope that KOS-MOS would be one of the playable characters in the game. Didn't a while back Nintendo take control of Monolith Soft or something too?

Serve bots! ah.. heck... the entire line up from Marvel Vs Capsom 2! Maybe Nintendo could fix that whole unbalanced Cable character. I can just picture it now Cable's Super Beam vs Samus's Charged Beam!
But they annouced already that Metal Ridley would be a playable character!
But props to Samfish for Viewtiful Joe! I would love to see more of our favorite 2.5D Hero. Espically since there are no plans for the final Viewtiful Joe 3 game... sniff

I think there should be a commonplace enemy or a boss character from each franchise represented by a hero. So there could be a Space Pirate from Metroid (metroids would be to unbalanced, I think), King K Rool or one of the grunts of DKC, etc. They would have to be creative to decide on who the character-foils would be for some of the current players.

Bub and/or Bob from "Bubble Bobble" would be fun with the bubble powers (and a special move for shooting the fire blasts)

I doubt Sonic will be in it, I mean Mario and Sonic at the olympics is supposed to be the first game featuring both characters and it comes out after Brawl, right?
Other than that my list has to be:
Bubble Monkey-Earthbound
Megaman-Megaman
Zero-Megaman X
Tom Nook (angry nook like [url=http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=169]this[/url])-Animal Crossing
Gyroid-Animal Crossing

Honestly, the chances the game incorporates a "Mii" as a character are probably high. Sure the moves would be standardized but a player that looks different for everyone, simple to create and to put into the game, and can be used online screams that Miis would be included.

Well, Megaman and Viewtiful Joe have already been said several times before, so I'm gonna have to say GENO! From Mario RPG! C'mon, now that's a Mario character! His attacks practically write themselves (launching his arm, calling down stars as a final smash).

Also Millia Rage and I-No two of my favorites from Guilty Gear. Chiki Chiki Boys would be awesome! been playing it recently on the genesis.
Captain N would be interesting and an alternate captain N possessed by the powerglove.

Yoda
Any Punch Out character
The dog from Duck Hunt
And my favorite:
The Black Knight from Holy Grail
(He would occasionally lose limbs and one of his special attacks would be the Holy Hand Grenade)
P.S. The Rabbit of Caerbannog would be equally cool
P.S.S. Run Burgundy

Geno. Hands down. One of the least represented characters in the Nintendo world (although, he is technically owned by Squeenix) and a perfect match for Brawl in both moveset, fanservice, and insanity.

I think Little Mac and trainer from Punch Out. He could stand behind you the whole game telling really nothing about you oppenents and when you need a boost you just press you select button and ir increases you loosing your power.
