Re: Who should be added or removed for Smash Bros. U?
My opinion on RPG characters is this: If someone as obscure as Ness can be in it, anyone can.
I'm restating my opinion that SSB badly needs an FF6 character, what with it being the most celebrated game on the most legendary console of all time. If not Terra, then Mog. Yeah, I want to see Mog.

Re: Who should be added or removed for Smash Bros. U?
I'm going to reiterate my case for Takamaru in Smash Bros 4 and to remove Sonic. What business does a Sega character have in a Nintendo game I will never know, he got shoehorned into the adventure at the last possible moment, his final is cheap as all get out, and he's completely underwhelming otherwise. (Why is his up smash different from his up strong?) Clearly he's the obligatory dig-at-our-rivals joke character, much like Dan Hibiki.
Whereas with Takamaru, Nintendo has had the rights to Murasame Castle for about as long as Mario, and you even have a pre-made adventure path. He even has a number of attack animations plotted out in a way that the Wii thinks it can manage, even a flame tornado Ultimate Musou attack that would make for a passable final.
Edit: Christ, how could I forget? Galacta Knight for a story-mode boss. All the SSE bosses were freaking huge, and the dark giant diddy kong...ugh, that is a HORRIFIC battle. Now imagine all the unpredictability and general butthurt that MK causes, in a boss character in story mode. That would be GK. Have an enjoy. ^_^
Re: Who should be added or removed for Smash Bros. U?
i wouldnt take any of them out of the game (even though i have complained countless times), they all earned their spots. but Ive been waiting for mega man for a while now. i heard that sora from kh was going to be in brawl, too, since he was on nintendo for a game, i just thought that would be interesting.
and on a side note: i use samus and zero suit a lot so i hafta hold down r before every battle even though my friend can CHOOSE to be sheik now and pokemon trainer can CHOOSE his starter pokemon, like wtf? they forgot about samus?
Re: Who should be added or removed for Smash Bros. U?
As for a specific character, I'm not going to say anything because it's an incredibly subjective matter and finally pointless. Except Sonic; unnecessary controversy and direct contrast to the original purpose of the series. And for the love of whatever god you believe in or don't, they had better keep the Mii at least fifty kilometres away from it at all times.
However, I would enjoy seeing at least a partial revival of the faster and more technical mechanics that everyone who played Melee seriously came to know. I don't expect things like JC shinegrab Uthrow Uair to become commonplace again, for example, but I would appreciate the reinstatement of L-cancelling and the removal of tripping and such. Nintendo has taken a literally childish approach to gaming in recent years, going so far as to neglect, even suppress, the spice, the depth that made the previous game popular enough to have a competitive scene that has lasted for an amount of time comparable to Third Strike or DOA4, in favor of a "level playing field" and "casual appeal." It's safe to say that both Melee and Brawl's hacks [Project M, Brawl+] had both when you disregard the comparably underground community that revolved around insane finger speed and the ability to grok situations like any other progamer, and Brawl+ did a nice job of what most Melee aficionados such as myself expected from Brawl and the last game.
Then again, they did name the console "Wii U", so I guess there's not much to be expected. Brawl and its sequel, in addition to the sexual violation of the high-level Mario Kart community, form a trio of disappointments which have largely kept me from playing most video games in the past few years. Maybe it's commentary on the decadence of our society. Who's to grasp the complexity of any perceived plots and subsequently resist the men in white?
tl;dr Brawl was a step in the wrong direction a few orders of magnitude above what I like to see in a good game. It's a shame Sakurai's adhered to this philosophy, really.

also if they added sonic they should have added knuckles, he would be a hella fun character if they made him right.
Maybe bomberman would be cool as well
Thisssssss. Knuckles would be perfect for smb. He can fly/glide so similar to like Metaknight kinda. The climbing walls thing that some characters have. He would also have some bad ass melee skillz. I'm guessing he would have like something similar to falcon kick, but with his fist.
Dammit. They need knuckles man
