User blog comment:Nevermind0309/Characters I think will be removed in the next Super Smash Bros. Game/@comment-3967009-20110706164929

Responses:
 * Donkey Kong: Things are fine here. I wouldn’t mind seeing Dixie though.
 * Mother/Earthbound: No, Ness needs to stay. He represents a little known franchise and the hero of the only Mother/ Earthbound game to be released in English. However, Lucas could be removed, but I’m a bit iffy on that. He could be just a Japanese only character, maybe? Sort of like how Marth and Roy were suppose to be in Melee.
 * Fire Emblem: Fine as is. I’d like to see Roy again though.
 * F-Zero: All fine here! And I mean, c’mon? Who’d want to remove Captain Falcon? XD
 * Ice Climbers: Fine. We need the pre-Super Mario Bros. Era characters.
 * Kid Icarus: Does anyone else smell promotion for his new game? I wouldn’t mind seeing  Palutena and Medusa as playable characters.
 * Kirby: Annoying, but fine.
 * Mario: Everything is fine here! Despite the large amount of characters already I wouldn’t mind seeing Daisy playable, she wouldn’t be in her dress, but rather, in her Strikers gear.
 * Metal Gear: Like you said, promotion. Oh, and I wouldn’t mind seeing more Snake x Samus either…(giggles)
 * Metroid: Everything is fine here. I don’t want to see anything changed, seeing how (Zero Suit) Samus is my main! Maybe they could update the Zero Suit design to the one in Other M. As for new playable character, a lot of fans say Ripley but I don’t think so. I think it’s fine with just Samus.
 * Pikmin: My brother says a new game for this series coming out, might as well keep the little guy.
 * Pokemon: I think they're going to keep him in there and just update it for the Black and White games that came out earlier this spring. If they're going to do that I'd like there to be option for a female trainer, sort of like how Zelda transformed into Sheik and Samus transforms into Zero Suit Samus. That'd be nice. If they do remove him, then I just can't see any alone Pokemon from B & W being in there. I just can’t think of a memorable character that everyone remembers like Pikachu or Mewtwo.  The only new Pokemon would be the starters from B &W at different evolution stages and those would belong to the Pokemon Trainer, like the previous Pokemon Trainer. Removals? Remove Lucario and replace him with Mewtwo, only they’ll make Mewtwo stronger than what he was in Melee.
 * R.O.B.: Just remove him. Just do it. For the love of God.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog: Fine. I just don’t want to see any other characters from that franchise added.
 * Star Fox The trio is are all basically the same. Just keep Fox and add Krystal. Also, promotion for their 64 remake on the 3DS.
 * Legend of Zelda: Now, you have to keep in mind that there is Skyward Sword and Ocarina of Time 3D to promote. It do believe Zelda and Link should be updated to their Skyward Sword designs. However, now we have both Ganondorf and Sheik to wonder about. OoT 3D has both Ganondorf and Sheik in it. Is it possible to keep them both (with their repolished OoT designs) without making it seem weird. Like you said, Ganondorf was a copy of Captain Falcon, perhaps they could rework his moveset and make him use his sword, dangit! As for Sheik, (s)he probably just a standalone character, not a transformation of Zelda. As for the Toon thing, yeah, have Toon Link updated to his Spirit Track stuff and maybe have Toon Zelda….? Just a thought. She might also be able to transform into Tetra.
 * Wario: Fine as is.
 * Yoshi: Fine as is.
 * Other: Honestly, if there has to be one other character, I think Geno would fit the bill. I love the guy, I want to see him back. Hopefully, Square Enix won’t be greedy this time and will allow Nintendo to use him.
