What Characters Would you want in Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

[Shadow)OS]

Amazing. Anywhere else with a "Who do you want in Smash Bros.?" thread would have collapsed into total chaos by now. There would be one side saying Sonic should be in it, and another side ridiculously suggesting Tom Nook and Lip as fighters. I've also heard people wanting Blaziken, Deoxys, Lucario and other humanoid Pokemon getting in... Those people obviously don't quite understand the significance of the four that already appeared, and somehow think the game should be "Nintendo All-Stars Meets Pokemon". Venting aside, I say that Sonic should DEFINITELY be there. There really is no excuse for him to not be there. We all know the story: they're arch rivals in the truest form, even though they have never formally met. The last we heard about Sonic situation was that Sega has not approached Nintendo a second time for Sonic to be in it (like they did with SSBM). If this is still the case, I think Nintendo themselves better do something to please the many ravenous fans wanting this. It's a pity already that they are going to star in that pathetic game together as their first meeting, and not the 2D platformer people would faint for, so Sonic not being in Brawl would be sacrilege. Beyond Sonic, Megaman would be a great character too. Imagine after knocking someone out, you get one of their powers (but not the same weak stuff Kirby gets)? Of course, that is only one idea that would need tweaks. Still, Megaman is a classic and is most certainly worthy of Smash Bros. I saw someone suggestion Ryu in this thread. That is quite the interesting suggestion. Thinking upon it, an addition from the Street Fighter series wouldn't be too shaby, and Ryu basically being the one guy EVERYONE knows from the game would be a great choice. For some reason, I have a harder time believing he could make it in though...
