Ridely in SSB:B would be nice maybe they'll even have a meta ridly costume.

-Bomberman
-Maybe Sonic, but should have a knuckles costume, like Peach/Daisy
-Bowser Jr.
-Phazon Suit samus costume
-Shadow samus costume
-Gannondorf w/ same move set (lot of people complain about it, i love it)
-Diddy+Dixie kong replace ice climbers as a 'team'
-Starwolf, replace falco or as a new charecter
-Pichu removed/swapped for other pokemon
-Some of the new hunters

I agree with the Diddy and Dixie idea, and I would like to see Captain Olimer as their moves are really obvious(Pikmin throw, for instance). I also think that Baby Mario would make a nice addition- and possibly the little Animal Crossing raccoon, Tom Nook(sign swing and leaf throw?).

An arena where the characters are 8 bit or Paper Mario style would be awesome. But that would probably take alot of work, designing every single character into 8 bit or Paper Mario style. I can see Captain Olimer getting in there, and maybe Baby Mario and Baby Luigi tag team style like the Ice Climbers.

What charecetrs do you want to see in Brawl?
Give a list of charecetrs you want playable and why, you can include/exclue anyone you want.

Gannondorf - My favorite smash chareceter, powerful and strong, the lack of speed doesnt affect me much as Im still pretty fast with him.

Cpt. Falcon - When speed is of the esscence and power isnt requried, I swtich from GDorf.

Mario - One of my old favorites, has some of the best moves in regular SSB and can do a few tricks in melee that can help out.

Raichu - An alternative to Pichu, less speed then Pickachu but more punch. Possibly different lighting attacks as its higher level.

King Dedede - Just because they can.

Nightmare - SC2 got to use link, I want Nightmare, my favorite SC chareceter, although not having a free moving battlefield may affect that.

Zelda - The best reflecting attack in melee imo. Also shiek is FAST and My friend loves Shiek, and is the only one who can compete with me, and I want some competition.

Hunters - Some of the Metroid Hunters from the DS, I dont have a DS and I really wanna try these guys out .

Thats all for now, Ill add some more later.

it might have been, i guess will have to wait and see

It never appeared on the official site, but apparently it isn't going to be updated for a while, anyway.

I'd like to see the useless weapons dropped, like the paper fan. That thing plain sucked.

Oh and did you all know this? Zero Suit Samus is apparently not a character by herself, but a change that can be triggered by Samus. Sort of like Zelda to Sheik I imagine.
