Mallow: Have you ever thought about what you want to do when you're older, [player name]?

Mallow: I've been thinking that I might want to take over my family's restaurant.

Mallow: I've decided that I'm gonna be an even better chef than my dad and brother!

Transcript

Mallow: One day, I'm going to make the entire menu at my family's restaurant Super Mallow Specials!

Mallow: It'll be a special restaurant with nothing but specials on the menu! I'm sure people will love it!

So, Imma make a Smash list, less of who I definitely think will get in, cuz I only expect like 10 or so? Unless they announce a crap ton at once.

But yeah, just a bunch of characters I think would be good

Returning Characters:

          All of them tbh lol, I don't see much reason to cut any unless there are licensing issues with some 3rd party ones, or if they are a super obvious clone that doesn't need to be in? Like Lucina and Dark Pit were just made at the end of development last time instead of being costumes, they would hopefully at least be costumes instead of being cut completely....

Existing Franchises:

Mario: Daisy or Waluigi could finally grace us, I believe. If they want unique movesets, they should probably use items from Mario Sports games? Or Party I guess ha. Either them or Captain Toad/Toadette. Like Wii Fit Trainer, it has both options.

Zelda: Midna or Impa for sure. Ghirahim is good too. And now I would say any of the Champions from Breath of the Wild, really. 

Pokemon: Decidueye. Maybe Tapu Koko or Pheromosa. But I also would like a gen 2, 3, and 5 rep. Looking to Pokken’s choices on who is popular is a good idea imo.

WarioWare: Ashley or Mona Pizza, the former especially, are who I would want. 

Donkey Kong: DIXIE KONG! THE END.....I guess maybe K. Rool lol, just cuz he is so fan requested...and I’m sure he would be fun. But I think Dixie is more relevant to the series overall, and also has those two qualities I just mentioned for K. Rool.

Retro: Not a franchise, but they like adding retro characters it seems ha. My picks would be Takamaru and Lip, both of which have references in Smash already, and both are also referenced in other Nintendo games like Panel de Pon items in Animal Crossing recently.

Metroid: Gosh...like someone SHOULD get in, but its hard for me to say who ha. The series does deserve something. Though both Samus’ having newer designs and still being fun to play would be nice still lol.

Kid Icarus: Eh, I think its good tbh...I wouldn't complain about like Viridi, Hades, Medusa, or Phosphora. But yeah, I wanted Palutena most...and I just want her to get a good default move set and not be a gimmick character for custom moves lol.

Kirby: MAYBE someone like Gooey or Rick, or Bandanna Dee even. But I think its good?

Animal Crossing: If they could make Isabelle work, I would be super down ha. 

Fire Emblem: I mean, I could be fine with one new character or something. I would like it from a game that doesn't have a character, or maybe even a weapon type that isn't represented lol. But I dunno who exactly.

Star Fox: Either Wolf comes back or Krystal as a new character.

Punch Out, Wii Fit, F-Zero, Earthbound, and Pikmin are pretty good imo. But, if they added people from most of them, I would be fine, I think? Same with pretty much all the 3rd party series, I would add more franchises before doubling up on some of them. Unless its like, a Shadow costume for Sonic, stuff like that.

Xenoblade I’m not familiar enough with to speak exactly...I would be fine with Elma from X, and I guess I wouldn't mind people from 2 either.

New Franchises:

Chibi Robo

Pushmo, Mallow specifically

Fatal Frame or maybe Eternal Darkness (I think a horror character would be rad, and both are Nintendo licensed)

Arms: I want Ribbon Girl, I consider her the face of Arms just as much as Spring Man as they were revealed simultaneously and are both on the cover

Golden Sun, specifically Isaac

Excitebike

Something crazy, like the Bunny from the Badge Arcade lol.

Kiawe:

Sometimes people are intimidated by my intensity.

But the other Captains like Mallow and Lana don't seem to mind. They treat me like anyone else.

You don't seem to mind either. I'm very grateful for that, [player name].

Mallow: Tsareena may seem hard to approach to some people.

Mallow: As the queen of all the Bounsweet, she has a lot of power, and I guess that can be a little intimidating.

Mallow: But she has her sweet moments, too! Sometimes she'll let me pet her!

Mallow: I guess she must really trust me if she allows me to do that!

Lana: Pasio's beaches are beautiful, and they don't have any mischievous Pokémon playing tricks on people, so they're the perfect place to hang out!

Lana: I even promised Mallow that we'd go shopping together for some cute swimsuits!
