Spring Man, Sukapon, and Ashley. Probably won't be the most popular picks, but they would all bring something interesting to the roster.

Badge Arcade Bunny would also have been a cool out-there pick a la Wii Fit Trainer. Lyn and Krystal both would have been great picks around the time of Brawl but I think their opportunity to be playable has probably passed.

EDIT: Shit I forgot about Bomberman! He's maybe the most glaring one along with Spring Man, but I'll stick with my original picks just because I want Sukapon and Ashley to get some votes.

In no particular order:
  • Waluigi
  • Bomberman
  • Shovel Knight
I would also be happy with Shadow/Knuckles, Isaac, Midna and Skull Kid

Bomberman - Because I assumed that crazy shit like Banjo-Kazooie was off the table, Bomberman was my absolute, number one most wanted character when Ultimate was first revealed. He's got a hell of a history with Nintendo and multiplayer gaming in general, and the man is a damn icon.
Ashley - WarioWare is one of my favorite game series, and Ashley is far and away the best character in those games. Luckily her theme has been a fixture on Wario stages, but she's a pretty cool character in her own right and deserves to show up here.
Rodin - Slightly edging out Shadow the Hedgehog is Rodin. Even though I think the Sonic franchise is the SEGA IP most deserving of a second representative, Rodin is simply far too compelling as a character. He's an absolute killer and he would bring a splash much needed color to the Smash roster.

Runners up, ordered: Shadow, Shovel Knight, Waluigi

Shovel Knight - Being the only weapon wielding user whose weapon is a shovel is quite unique, oh and ofc he would be the defacto choice to go with when representing the relationship between Nintendo and Indies.
Bomberman - The past history for the franchise on Nintendo platforms speaks for itself, but also, just the sheer fact that Bomberman R was a launch exclusive for the Switch and all the unexpected post launch support it got.
Samurai Goroh - F-Zero needs more representation, but also, he is supposedly a Samurai right? Having a sword wielder who uses real world Samurai techniques would be pretty cool I think.

Bomberman - Icon of HudsonSoft and a staple of 90s gaming.
Shovel Knight - Indie gaming icon who has found himself guest appearances in other fighters.
Alucard - Already was largely considered by Sakurai, but he opted to use Simon and Richter did to their major role in the series. The AT already features a pretty heavy moveset.

Then roll some dice for the remaining two spots to choose between Waluigi, Isaac, Shovel Knight and Bomberman.

Including Assist Trophies that are not in Ultimate: Bomberman, Spring Man and Tingle.

Infantry and Tanks would be up there too, but just them in sprite form isn't really conducive to an "upgrade" to playable status.

Or if we just want to be silly, Chef Kawasaki (but only if he has his Ed Wynn 4Kids dub voice), Prince of Sablé and Phosphora. Though Thwomp would be pretty accessible to beginner Kirby players.

No idea why Sakurai would get rid of something like the Advance Wars assist trophy :( You got a third vote?

Waluigi is an icon. Hammer Bro is a long-running Nintendo character with a different weapon and movement style than what already exists on the roster, and you could easily combine him with fire bro and boomerang bro. Ashley is just grand.

Hammer Bro would indeed be cool, but Piranha Plant somehow took his spot! (lol). You able to narrow it to three?

Bomberman is probably one of the most deserving. He's very iconic, would fit great in Smash, could have a pretty unique moveset, and isn't getting much love elsewhere.

Alucard is hype as heck, and I just want him purely for selfish reasons. It doesn't really make sense to add him. I want him in the same way I wanted Cloud, haha.

Finally, pretend that Geno has an Assist Trophy and add him.

Metroid, Midna, Samurai Goroh
because I like draining my opponents energy, teleporting them into oblivion and being muscular and fat

Unfortunately the whole point of this is that these designs are in Ultimate ready to go, and Sakurai has the rights to use them for this game. Let me know what your vote is.

I see, well, in that case Bomberman, Isaac and Ashley. If we aren't getting any Rhyhtm Paradise content, might as well get a Wario Ware rep. It's the closest thing avaliable :)

Krystal, Rodin, Midna

A staff user would be cool, another magic user would be cool, and a magic hand user would be cool

Give me my Edgy Hedgy. Shadow would be super easy to do too, since you could just use Sonic as a baseline with maybe some minor tweaks to differentiate him if you wanted.

Runner ups would be Issac and Ashley. I'd put Ray Mk III instead of Ashley if I could, but he hasn't been around since brawl, so no dice.
