Characters You're Hoping/Expecting In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

[HylianSwordsman]

Wanted:
1. Dixie Kong-She just deserves it. Only two DK reps, and I always liked her better than Diddy.
2. Geno-I don't care what anyone says, that's he's become irrelevant or that Square Enix would never let it happen, I want him. We got Cloud, why wouldn't SE let us have Geno?
3. K.Rool-He's the only big bad in DK that I actually find interesting, and while I want Dixie more, DK deserves both her and K.Rool
4. Banjo and Kazooie- The bear and bird were a huge part of Nintendo history and Microsoft is open to it.
5. Simon Belmont-Smash's collection of gaming history iconicness just doesn't feel complete without him. Plus his main weapon is unique for the series and his side weapons work well for making a Smash moveset, he'd be fun to play for sure.

Predicted:
1. Spring Man-This is Nintendo's last chance to plug Arms with Smash representation for a while, and Springman is kind of the poster boy for the series
2. Dixie Kong- As I understand it, work was done on her in the past, and with Tropical Freeze making her newly relevant, I think she could get in.
3. Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic Echo)-They didn't show him as a returning assist trophy, and he'd be pretty easy to make into an Echo. A unique B move or two, unique final Smash, and make his run animations roller blades, otherwise he's just Sonic. I'd rather have Knuckles, but he's deconfirmed.
4. Dark Samus (Samus Echo)-Similar logic to Shadow here, her assist trophy hasn't been shown as returning to my knowledge, and this would be pretty easy to do.
5. Rex and Pyra-Similar logic to Spring Man, this is a recent character from an IP Nintendo wants to boost and this is Nintendo's last chance to do so for a while.
