Also I will briefly explain my picks and may take breaks.

Honarary mentions including current assist trophies: Takamaru Ashley Dark Samus A Zelda rep possibly Midna or Ghirahim A Starfox rep either Wolf or Crystal Andy from Advance Wars. (I would pick Takumaru for my top 10 if he weren't an assist, the others I find intriguing but not overly excited for them)

Let's start... My tenth pick may come as a surprise. He's a VERY popular choice and usually tops people's lists. He almost didn't make it on this list. Number ten is...

Banjo or Banjo and Kazooie would be exciting to have. He's very reminiscent of the Nintendo feel and has a decent shot. He's not higher on the list mainly because I don't have too strong a connection as a gamer with him, but he is a very important gaming icon.

(PS I'm only quickly sketching characters so don't bag on the drawings too much ;) )

Number 9 is a very off the wall choice. I think he has almost no chance as DLC maybe a small chance in Smash 5 if Villagers up-special gets changed. That's said number 9 is...

I personally love Balloon Trip. It's an older game. I feel he could be unique. This is one of those picks that's very personal but I like him. He's not likely happen but I'm satisfied with the Balloon Fight stage presence in Smash.

Number 8 is a character that has some chance but not as high as others. He's another 3rd party one but I feel is iconic enough to be in Smash. He is...

Bomberman is a favorite of mine. I'd like to see him in, but don't mind if he's not. He could be pretty unique as well.

Next is a character I did NOT want in Smash but now I actually like. I was against future characters that aren't out yet but Smash would be good promotion. I do think her game should be out a bit before she's DLC. Inking her way into #7 is...

Inkling has a fair shot at DLC or Smash 5. I See her as a unique character that also represents current games. I'd also love a Splatoon stage. I hope that is she is included they don't remove what voice chat we have in Smash Wii U (it's a joke don't hurt me)

Next is another odd choice with little chance... Number 6 is...

I chose Masked Man because I love Mother 3 and feel he's be a unique villian. He's unlikely as Lucas is back but there's speculation at E3 when Nintendo announces Lucas, a Mother 3 localization may be announced too. Complete speculation but stranger things have happened. he's unlikely and even if he's not in I hope the Mother 3 speculation is at least true. That said its just speculation.

Next is a returning veteran...

I'd like if both Ice Climbers return but if technical limitations are an issue. I'd take one. I feel they are unique but do understand Daddy Sakurai's decision. That said it'd be great if the climbers were back to battle. Winter would be a good time to release them.

Number 4 may be controversial. It's a DK rep. I'd like to see multiple DK reps in Smash but I'd most want to see...

I chose Dixie over K Rool because I feel she's the most relevent to the Franchise at the moment. I'd love to see K Rool too but... I'd rather see Dixie. That said I feel she could be a unique Ariel fighter and have quasi simulatities to Diddy on the ground. I'd love her or K Rool. I think you do need some style and grace to get into smash though.

Just to expand I'd rather have K Rool if Dixie was just a full on clone but I can easily invision a very different moveset especially air-wise. I wouldn't mind either and I feel at least one is likely to happen.

This next one is one that I go back and forth with a bit. I love this character but I feel there's a lot of representation for his franchise already. That said. I'd personally love to see him. I'll explain his pros and cons. He's...

Mario. Dr. Mario. I feel adding him might upset the roster but I think he has the potential for one of the best movesets in the game. I feel he'd have a really great chance if Dr. M was not in the game. That said I'd love to see him but I can see where this one may not be the best choice as DLC. Maybe Smash 5. He is popular still so I can see both sides. I like Paper Mario and feel he'd be amazing

Next at number 2 is a character from a popular indie game. I love this character and hope he gets in although I wouldn't bet on it. It's...

I personally love Cave Story and feel he has a great potential for moveset. I don't know if we'll see an indie rep but I feel out of all the indie possibilities he's got the status to be in Smash but there are more popular choices from recent Indie games who I also respect as well. That said I still would love to see Quote and get some Cave Story music in Smash.

In first place is a very controversial pick. I love this character as many do and think he could work... He'd be odd to incorporate into Smash but I feel Nintendo could listen to us and make this dream a reality. At number 1 is...

Okay I'm completely kidding the real number one is... (Give me a minute to sketch)

I think Isaac is as perfect a rep as they come. New franchise to represent from Nintendo. He also hasn't been forgotten so he has a chance. Delving into his game I feel he has a unique moveset potential. Maybe not the most outside the box type moveset but enough to make him not a normal sword fighter and different than Robin of course. I also think GS is a great game and deserves a rep.

If you want my thoughts on any characters I'll be happy to answer questions. Feel free to tell me your top DLC fighters. Thanks for reading!

Simon Belmont could fit really well. I feel Samurai Goroh would be a great second rep for F-Zero, if not him then I guess Black Shadow.

I personally don't have much of a preference to Shantae, but I've never played her game. If be neutral if she got in, but I do agree she has a chance given her relation with Nintendo. I don't know if there will be an indie character or not. If there is, I'd wager it's Shovel Knight. Quote is definitely who I want to see but Shantae is a very legitimate choice as well. We'll see what happens.

Even though Lucina is my Tomodachi waifu, Roy's still my boy. l'd welcome him back.

I don't mind minor errors on social media. I agree those are both long shots and I wouldn't bet on either, but the moveset you described sounded pretty cool.

I wouldn't mind Shovel Knight, that said I don't know if he's reached the icon status of Smash for an indie game in my mind. I feel he's the most popular currently so he may have a good chance. That said I'm a Quote fan but I wouldn't mind SK.

Layton's not too big of a choice for me despite how much I like his games. I feel he'd have an amazing stage but I feel there's many characters I'd have before him. He's more of a long shot. Shovel Knight could well happen. I wouldn't conplain over either, but I'm not too excited for either.

FE:A is my favorite 3DS game. I don't think Grima has too big of a chance. I feel Roy would get in plus we have 4 FE characters so it'd be pushing it. If another Awakening stage was made which is long shot I feel he could well be part of the stage. I feel that part of the game would be the next logical place to base a stage off in the game.

I feel if Mother gets another rep (which I feel is more unlikely than not) Porky actually would be one of the top people to choose from. He's a villian, obvious final smash, obvious home stage to bring back (8 player accessible). I could see him as a possible mother rep, that said I don't think we'll see him this iteration. If Mother 3 gets a western release maybe in Smash 5...

Watch as Shrek becomes the only DLC from this list.

I'd love a Square Enix rep. I just don't know how likely that is though.

Imagine... 8 player - super mushroom only - Ridley
